Went to watch Valentine's Day with my self dubbed Ah Kor today. It is a really bitter sweet movie... Highly recommended for everyone, and an added bonus if you are gay... Coz there is a lil something special for us in there, mua ha ha.
And OMG Taylor Lautner is soooo cute, he was in the movie... Hate to spoil it for u guys... But he didn't take his shirt off. Sigh, if it wasn't a pretty good movie... I would have marched straight to the counter and requested a full refund. On a lighter note, there was this other young dude... Very lithe body, and he took his clothes off... :p

Apart from those young actors, there were a whole bunch of other hawt actors... And some were, I repeat were, half naked :p

Gosh before I sound like a bimbo, and appear to only look at the guys in the movie, let me say that the plot was pretty good. At times it may be semi-predictable... but in a good way. Its one of those movies that tears your heart apart and grinds it into pieces, then puts all of them into a slow cooker to make it all warm and mushy so that the pieces stick together again.
So with that said... All of you out there that are partnered up… get off your lazy bums and go watch the movie.
Taylor Swift is one of my favourite artist of late, her song so closely resembles what a lot of high schoolers go through… and maybe because of the high school theme, it makes me think of my younger days, and that is why I have fallen for her songs.
I particularly like ‘You BelongWith Me’, partly because the guy in the music video is sooo cute, but also because I feel I can totally relate to that song as a gay guy. The song could very well have been sung by a gay guy to one of his straight buddies or guy next door that he had a crush on.
You see the references in the song totally fits the bill, it could have been a guy singing it instead of a girl;
“But she wears short skirts I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain And I'm on the bleachers”
“She wears high heels I wear sneakers”
Obviously guys wear t-shirts, and obviously if our buddy is out on the field playing sports for the school… we’re on the spectators’ bench supporting him. (Bleachers in the US mean spectators bench) And compared to girls, obviously us guys wear sneakers rather than high heels right? Well… unless you’re into drag, then it’s a totally different story.
And sooo many of the references in the song resembles what we do most with our best buddies,
“Walking the streets With you and your worn out jeans I can't help thinking This is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench Thinking to myself Hey, isn't this easy?”
Don’t we spend so much time with our best buddy when his pesky girlfriend isn’t around, so much so that we feel that we were meant to be?
“And you've got a smile That could light up this whole town I haven't seen it in awhile Since she brought you down You say you're fine I know you better than that Hey what you doing With a girl like that”
The best buddy always had the bestest smile in the whole world, and sure… when he first got a girlfriend, he was very happy. But after a while, we as a close friend can see that she was bringing 'you' down… yet you still stayed with her… and at times even tried to trick us, your bestest buddy in the whole world, that you are fine. As if we would fall for that.
And here we are always…
“Dreaming about the day When you wake up and find That what you're looking for Has been here the whole time”
Hoping that you’ll realise the obvious, that…
“she doesn't get your humor Like I do”
and
“She'll never know your story Like I do”
And also realise all the ‘non-physical’ intimate times we spent together when…
“Oh, I remember You driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're about to cry And I know your favourite songs And you tell me about your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me”
Finally like all crushes on your best buddy, we would hope beyond hope…
“Can't you see That I'm the one Who understands you Been here all along So why can't you see? You belong with me.”
But after all that, waking up from a dazed dream… we would realise that the reality is that you are straight… and always will be. And then and only then, will we accept that you will have to find your way in the world without us being by your side… but with another girl… your other half…
*update* I realized I changed the tone from describing the buddy as a third person to directing the post at him...
The week is finally coming to an end, and Chinese New Year is just two days away :) Today I was suppose to meet up with some uni mates after having dinner with my mom and a family friend... but half way through my dinner I got a call from a friend cancelling the meeting. I was dissapointed cause they were my uni mates, and we haven't met up since leaving Melbourne last December... however, this setback paved way for me to meet up with some new friends.
I was originally invited by Evann to meet up with some of his friends for steamboat, obviously bloggers too... but unfortunately I had to turned down the invitation because I already had plans... now that my uni mates cancelled on me... I could join in on the little dinner :) or rather I joined in after they had their dinner... LoL... hopefully it wasn't too awkward that I just popped in :)
"So nice meeting you guys, Jerry, Anton and Bong..."
To everyone driving back to their kampung... drive SAFELY... and if your gonna fuck... fuck the same way :)
