The sweetest thing

OMG LAH.



SWEET!

About 3 months ago, a boy met the girl of his dreams in a subway in New York. Before he had the chance to talk to her, the doors slid open and the incoming crowd separated them- but not forever.

Patrick, a web designer, promptly set up a website imploring New York to find the dream girl for him at www.NYGirlOfMyDreams.com He drew a detailed picture of her with what kind of clothes she was wearing, how she wore her hair and what she was doing. (He talked about how he felt here.)

Just 2 days, cranks and misses later, and Patrick received an email from the girl's friend. (More of her pictures here.)

So they met.

The media picked it up and they even did an interview for Good Morning America, ABC News. (Which you can watch here.)

It turned out that the girl, "AUSTRALIAN Camille Hayton says she usually avoids the New York subway, but after her home burned down she was forced on to Manhattan's No 5 train so she could spend the night on a friend's couch." (news.com.au)

So how will it end? Well, there's no more updates to the site as it states that this is to their "best interests"!

So sweet. If it warrants a nation-wide search for you, he must really be crazy over you. I think the newest place to meet singles is in PUBLIC TRANSPORT.

I had a guy who asked me for my number on the bus once. That's tacky, scary or maybe bordering on stalkerish- depending on how the girl interprets it. The thing is, setting up a website could never be sweeter, and more unobtrusive. It's like he's too shy to intrude upon her personal space and privacy and yet passionate enough to declare it to the world wide web of strangers based a single glance.

It's the modern fairytale. Wonder if it'll work out?? It's lucky enough that he did find her in a crowded city of more than 8 million people. So maybe...

88-year-old woman comes out as lesbian

She's 88-years-old. Finally, after more than 4 decades of hiding a secret nobody (even her closest friends or family) knew, she decided to expose the skeletons in her closet- she's lesbian; has always been.


I think it's so riveting that an 88-year-old woman, someone whom we'd stereotype as conservative and backwards, actually hunched in the shadows with such an appalling shrouded life which is more relevant to our generation today than we'd expect from a woman her age. Like imagine your ah po coming out as les?

That's how long homosexuality has been skirting the borders of our society's moral compass.

I tried to find the original Newsweek article, but couldn't. So, an alternative here.

You won't believe how I came across this article. I was surfing Pink Is The New Blog and Jodie Foster has publicly acknowledged her alleged lesbian partner for the first time. They have two kids together.

After watching The Golden Compass with Rei and Seph, I decided to check out WHAT MY DAEMON IS.

I had verrryyy high expectations. My Daemon should be like me, so the most important trait is that it has to be CUTE. So, I was hoping for a mouse, a ferret, or anything that's furry and adorable.

You know what I got???

I got a CHIMPANZEE. OMG!! HOW CAN MY DAEMON BE A CHIMPANZEE??!! I'm cuter than that! Ew, I don't want Singapore Zoo's Ah Meng as my soul lah.

Faith's was a lion!

I'm disappointed.

Here, try for yours. Click on 'Daemon' on one of the tabs. It even comes with a name. Let's hope yours looks good.

Jon Mclaughlin - Beautiful Disaster


She swears that there's no difference,
Between the lies and complements.
It's all the same if everybody leaves her.

She's giving boys what they want, tries to act so nonchalant,
Afraid they'll see that she's lost her direction.

She doesn't want to feel this way,

only seventeen but tired.

Such a moving song! I don't believe a girl exists who doesn't identify with it.

Dying 47-Year-Old Professor Gives Exuberant ‘Last Lecture’

WATCH THIS.

I stayed up the whole night to watch the last lecture of Randy Pausch click here.

You can read about him in BusinessWeek.

He is an amazing speaker, and you wouldn't know it, but he is dying of cancer in about 4 months from now? The irony is that he is so close to death yet more alive than people like you or I. It's amazing how much we take for granted.

He is a Professor at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Watching him speak there were moments I forgot he even had cancer. He speaks with the enthusiasm of a teenager, with a dry self-deprecating and witty humour. He talks about how to reach for your dreams- childhood dreams, enabling the dreams of others, and how to live your life.

You can listen to a preacher, and not get the same inspiration. And whereas you may suspect the intentions of a preacher for wanting your conversion, this man does not have any agenda other than to impart words of wisdom. What does he have to lose? Everything, and nothing.

MDA Senior Management Rap Video



I know everyone's seen it! Still think it's damn funny and embarrassing. WHY did a respectable government body do this to themselves... It's so painful to watch. Ouch. I SO feel for them. Ah.. I think it's a bit of a stretch to try and relate. The Michael Yap guy is the best right?
