avocado love

green label — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 02:57:21 +0000

fell in love avocado since I tried my first avocado milkshake in Queensway Food Market 2 years ago. The love affair never stopped, now that we have a blender at home. But this, this could be the device that can ease the labour of scooping out those green goodness out from its shell.

When I don’t write, I feel my world shrinking. I feel I am in prison.

“… We also write to heighten our own awareness of life.

We write to lure and enchant and console others.

We write to serenade out lovers.

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection.

We write, like Proust, to render all of it eternal, and to persuade ourselves that it is eternal.

We write to be able to transcend our life, to reach beyond it.

We write to teach ourselves to speak with others, to record the journey into the labyrinth.

We write to expand our world when we feel strangled, or constricted, or lonely.

We write as the birds sing, as the primitives dance their rituals. If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it.

When I don’t write, I feel my world shrinking. I feel I am in prison. I feel I lose my fire and my color. It should be a necessity, as the sea needs to heave, and I call it breathing.”

Nouvelle Vague is one of the first what-you-call “indie” bands that I got hooked on. And that started my pursuit for music in this genre. Such happy tunes with quirky lyrics. I love.

Finally, I managed to catch her live performance. She was incredibly good live, breathy and cute on stage. Ahh, major crush. While we were leaving Zouk, we saw her smoking with her band. Grabbed the opportune moment to ask for a photograph and she was so nice about it.

Never gonna forget this moment

Would love to find this to hang next.

Midnight in Paris

Great editing, interesting camera angles, PERFECT period costumes and zomg so many literary and art heroes in one film?! I’m hooked. But Gill Menders’ dialogue is extremely similar to the protagonist in Annie Hall. I have to watch more of Woody Allen’s films to confirm the rumour I’ve heard that his protagonists are usually the brilliant oddball that likes to speak in a free, disconnected style. Also, he likes blond women. Look at the casts. Beautiful, beautiful blond women. But the male casts are equally goodlooking as well. Adrian Brody as Salvador Dali?! Corey Stoll as Hemingway? (He really looks so good with hair lol) And GERTRUDE STEIN!!! They managed to find someone who looks like her!

Adriana and Ernest Hemingway.

The eccentric Salvador Dali played by Adrian Brody

Sidetrack a little on the wardrobe for the characters played in Present Times. It’s so beautiful. Particularly drawn to what the ladies are wearing. But as usual, the protagonist seem to wear exactly the same tweed blazer Woody wore when he was in Annie Hall as well. Curious. He seems to like to put a little of himself in all of his films. Again, I have to go back and watch more of his works before confirming this observation.

Le sigh, Paris is so beautiful. Gonna make a trip there one day to see for myself.
