Deciphering Cyberspace Dating

Unbeknown to my darling friends JC & ML, I strongly suspected that there were some megabytes heating up between them. They thought that they were being super sneaky and secretive with their under the radar hook up, but NOT! Sorry to bust your bubble guys, but I knew that something was going on.

How?

Well, firstly you guys hooked up through me on facebook. Then I noticed that J was answering some of M’s questions. Then there was the holiday gift giving. After the Superpoking, they both installed the fluff friends one after the other. Then petted (uh hum) each other’s fluff friends. Later came the matching movie compatibility test. Their status updates matched and complemented one another. It came to no surprise that J bugged me to check his profile one day. (truthfully I didn’t check J, cause I already knew lar- I just told you I did :P) Muaks guys, love ya! So Cute Cute. I am gonna claim my Jap buffet from you guys for my Keh Poh Chee work.

And all it builds up to this:

Out with the Chicas, we decided to come up with the Facebook Deciphering Handbook:

Poke: Hey I really dig you (although I just threw a sheep at you)
Poke: Hey I really really really dig you (that’s the using the force poke)
Poke: We are just friends (the spoon, dry humping and bitch slap)
Super Poke: Lets get it on
Wall Post: Look At ME! Notice Me (equivalent to strutting at the party)
Super fun wall post: Lets get it on
Buying a round of drinks: I want to intoxicate you to get it on
Fluff friends petting: Lets get it on
Fluff friends gift giving: Lets get it on immediately
Matching Movie Compatibility Test: Lets snog
Where I’ve Been Tripadvisor: Look at ME! I am well travelled, lets get it on in Bali

Throwing a book: Look AT me! I am well read and intelligent but I just want to snog you
Naughty Gifts Giving: Lets get it on
Giving the I Love Ice cream gift: Let me help you with that chocolate sauce
Growing Gift giving: Lets grow old together
Egg Hatching gift: I wanna have your baby!
More Eggs Hatching gift: Lets make a football team

Ok, maybe it’s more of a list than a handbook

Poetry Reading

Imagine a sombre artistic man, saying these words out loud to you:

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams?
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself

In a snap, I’m in love with the words, the sheer magnitude of the poetry. It’s the writer in me, and I can’t help myself.

Now add some nifty guitar works, synchronizers, heavy drums and 6 men and you’ve got multi platinum sales. People could never understand why a sweet lass like me (snort) could ever go to a ‘rock concert’. Why I would lompat-lompat with the Mat Rocker crowd? Best ke? Some would ask. ‘Yer lar, Rock Brudder!!’ I would reply in jest.

The first real rock concert I ever went to was probably The Scorpions. Unbelievably awesome. But the one performance that changed my life was probably Linkin Park’s Concert in 2003 (?? I am bad in history so not sure abt the date) People climb the Himalayas in search of enlightenment, I go to LP’s concert. That October night (again with the dates), something in me stirred and I decided to go down a path in my life that I had doubts earlier. (if you ask me privately, I will tell you the life altering road I chose)

Five years on, this is me, feeling downtrodden. And with sheer monstrous determination (ebay, flight tickets, name dropping, the whole works), I am down in Singapore for their MTM tour. I feel old, am surrounded by these youngsters. Seriously. I digress.

I absolute adore men in leather jackets (even though they are not on a Ducatti) and even more so when they are playing an instrument. And it goes without a doubt that I drooled every single second of the LP concert over Yum Yum Shinoda. There was a little drooling over Chester and Phoenix too, but just a tad.

Enough about asking me how the concert was. Check it out:

and
a littel Blair Witch Project I had going on in the mosh pit




And I leave you with the prose that you might know better:

In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done
I'll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done
