Stepmom

I watched Stepmom once again tonight. Yes I did. It still gave me the same impact like it did 10 years ago when I saw it the first time. In time of vulnerability like this, and watching this kind of movie - it only invites volatile emotional collision. Anyway, it was good Friday night movie. After all, I love Susan Sarandon and Ed Harris!

This is one of the funny lines (I do not want to concentrate on the sad parts, there are way too many of them).

Ben Harrison: See Mom? I told you! I'm telepathetic.
Jackie Harrison: Telepathic.
Ben Harrison: That's what I said.

(Now I am off to clean my place and pack for tomorrow. I need to catch the coach to the airport at 8:00 am. I need to be at the airport by 10:00 am)

Off to Donegal for the weekend

[In the taxi again, on the way to work... late... and updating blog...]

I am off to Donegal with some mates over the weekend. I think I will have another entry to add to the blog. Unlike Luke, I am not so fast in updating my blog. I have not updated about his trip to Dublin etc.

There will be 6 of us - Itamar, Paul, Liam, Lucas, Lucas's bro and myself. It will be a lot of fun. Itamar was nice enough to organise everything - booked the hotel, rented the car, setting out the itinerary. He wants to check Donegal out before he leaves and it happens that there is art festival going on this weekend. I will just tag along, drive a bit and try to relax. So many things have taken place lately, and are still taking place. I need to distance myself from it all and try to get a bit of perspective.

Here is a map of Ireland, showing where Donegal is and the kind of countryside/beach it offers. I will try to give an update later on.

+ Isn't this magical? :) I can't wait.



+ Letterkenny - the place where we'll spend the night in (i.e. tomorrow night)

*Have a nice weekend everyone*

When the confusion hits

+ Nice full moon tonight - at Dun Laoghaire Pier. The day is getting shorter now. I was gaxing to the sky - it's marvellous. It was serene, being able to sit on the bench and let my mind wander.

I do not know what to call this entry. After work today, I headed to the city - Liam and Paul wanted to treat me at Bocca, for my birthday. It was nice to see Liam again, and of course Paul. Paul and Liam gave me cards. I specifically told Paul that I do not want any celebration.

+ Another nice one

After the dinner, I took a cab home. I sent texts to them - thanking them for their effort to organise the dinner etc. Liam wrote back to me; "There is an old Irish saying; a man's true worth is in the value of his friends. I count myelf rich to have you as a friend!" How sweet is that? He is so nice. He is busy shooting for the new season of The Tudors now, and I will make a point to meet him more often after this.

+ Another nice one

When I got to Dun Laoghaire, I decided to stop bye at the Pier. I could still picture Luke and Zul striking poses by the old canon. Anyway, the reason why I was there; I felt that I am blanketed with confusion with so many things are happening in my life now. I will not pour it all out in here. I have to keep some of them close to my chest - for they are too personal. It is not an issue or problem that I am facing, it is more of frustration in moving ahead in life. I must admit, life can't get any kinder than what I feel now.

+ Another nice one

There I was, by the peer witnessed by cluster of rocks gazing out to the endless sea, watching the shrinking ferry to Holyhead slowly being swallowed into the horizon. I was there to come to terms with what's borthering me (to which I did not get any answer), I prayed hard that I would find a solution to my dilemma. There are way too many things in my mind now - to be honest, they do affect me.

Note: I have yet to update these 2 entries; (1) Trip to London to help Rozai with her booth at Malaysia Fest, Tower Bridge, (2) Luke's and Zul's trip to Dublin. And, today 14th Aug a friend of mine was assaulted by her own cousin and I had to take her to Garda station to lodge a report. Pity her.
