Hitch!

For all of you pai kias who have not yet watched Hitch, I heartily recommend it. =D chio kao peng, and will smith is good as usual. Haha. Despite being a romantic comedy, the fact it made me chio kao peng must say how funny it is. So go, watch it! =))

Things I have learnt from Hitch:

1. Will Smith is a chao good buaya. HA. His planning is immaculate. Vastly different from a certain BIG COW who's immaculate planning revolves around "1001 Ways Not to Bore Your Date" and "Reversing The Rigor Mortis In You".

2. Somehow the fat guy dancing reminds me of me. Ha. (shut out memories of JC times, shut out memories of JC times, -blink-) Time to go for more exercise...

3. Life is not half as exciting as in the movie. *bleah* What's new.

4. Kissing -- just go 90%, and let the ger go 10%. Best tip I ever learnt.

5. If you're a fat guy, never, and I mean NEVER, scrunch up your lips when you wanna kiss. Chao disgusting. Imagine Babe the piglet initiating a kiss. Urgh.

6. When dancing to Usher, simply look cool, move simply, and snip off all the tendency to show off your great hip-swinging moves. =) Especially if your hip's, you-know, well-endowed-- such that swinging it reminds us of a Physics experiment involving a great pendulum.

7. The importance of a girl's best friend's opinion. Heyy~ 10 points for originality.

8. Basically, girls are always right. Even when they:
a. Malign you publicly without proper evidence
b. Cost a couple their relationship
c. Cost you your job
-- they're entitled to say sorry and leave it as that (you know, "sorry", and then if the guy cannot accept it, resign to fate and not try anymore). And of course, the guy, being the gentleman that he is, eventually decides he wants the relationship. What does he do? He salvages the relationship by making all the professions of love as if the girl deserves it. To me, I object. Both to the girl, and to the guy. I think it's just plain nonsense. I wouldn't do that doodad in a million years if you asked me, 'cos I don't see why a girl in her right mind would just give up after one "no". And why a guy should step below his dignity to right a conflict which he didn't cause in the first place.

9. But oh well. It's just a show. *shrugs*

AND number TEN,

10. I'm gonna look out for fiddling keys more often. *wink* (only those that watch the show will geddit, I'm afraid, so....WATCH THE SHOW! =D)

Ah, but anyway, it was a tiring day. Spent a lot of time with parents, which was good, then later turned irritating. Ha. Spent time with the Heavenly Dad too, to refresh me from my Earthly Gramma.

Had a call from Joey in which she gave some good advice. =) V interesting that she should make it a pt to call just to mention that. Not that I didn't know it already--but the temptation has always lurked around. Why? 'Cos there's a temptation to pity myself. And to use the whole thing as a justification for self-pity. The whole idea that even IF I were to choose that girl, the girl's bad for me, but what else can I do? Can anyone give a better substitute? And so, can they judge me?

But I remember what Maine said in her blog: only God satisfies the need for intimacy. He can do it through people, a girlfriend, a wife, friends (and for me, parents) -- but we must recognise that it is God who fills the need. So I don't want to yield to that temptation. It's always lurking around, the way temptation always does, but I'll just resist Satan and look away. But Scriptural advice is always good: "if you think you're standing firm, be careful you do not fall!"

So I don't mind her advice. =) Nice to know someone cares anyway.

Anyway in life there's bigger fish to fry. We've got souls to save and a Good News to preach. And decent grades to get and some pocket money to earn. Responsibility to practice (too much, in my opinion, ha) and dependency on God to learn. And so we will, God willing.
