slosh down the pepper!

Perhaps.. Perhaps... Perhaps

Perhaps...

9-ball pool on a 8ft table. I think that was what I played. Witin an hour plus, I learnt how to arrange the balls into the triangular fit and the position it should hold on the table. The white, the black, the stripes and the solids, we were friends after the first 15mins of 'training'. Pretty easy what, I thought. The first game was fun, my trainer let me off pretty easily, he aimed, I shot, and the balls went in! The second game was slightly not so fun, and more informative. I learnt the existence of different techniques and strategies to jam up the opponent's moves. The third was the worst. My right arm was losing strength. But Trainer refused to let me off without seeing that solid-colored ball run into the hole. "More to the left.. no no.. slightly more left.. ahh.. shift abit to the right" I wondered how long I was posing with that cue stand before he allowed me to shoot. And damn it! The ball didn't go in. It was three misses before the fourth released me of my agony and pain.

$7.20 for the game. Still quite worth it. Thanks Kel, you are a supportive and entertaining trainer!

Perhaps I should practise more of the game to realise the potential I hold in this sport! hehehe, afterall, this is a not-too-difficult game. No running, no sweating, no panting. Just pure aching in the arms.


Perhaps...

Still doesn't understand why it is titled Perhaps, Love - 如果。爱. Why is there a comma in the english title and a full stop in the chinese version? The english version is probably more logical. The comma highlights a paused moment as the mind searches fuzzily for a reason: perhaps due to what? Love lor. But the full stop? The chinese mind temporarily shuts off all thoughts and came to realise it's 'love' after all? Funny.

The show wasn't that funny though. Aniki Jin still can't sing very well, eventhough I do like his deep strong voice. I thought 老孙 is more of a slutty character in the movie. She saw bedding 老东 as an expression of her love for him (maybe that's why the "Perhaps" came in). And twice it happened. Overall, the film ain't as fantastic as I thought it will be. Many characters seemed to be redundant if not for the little bits of humor and provoking thoughts they injected into the film. Minimal dialogue, silent-mannered narration, not-very-nice soundtrack, this is a farty film made arty.


Perhaps...

We heard the wind blow, and saw the leaves move with vigor. BUT, I didn't expect a downpour! Not when I am half way down to my destination. Scene XXX of Michael Bay's next thriller: RUUUUUUUNNNN! After two traffic lights, I appeared to be panting away. Perhaps this rain is a wake-up call. I gotta try harder at the tracks. 21 minutes for 2.5km is definitely not acceptable! With all the food I am gulping down, I ought to quicken my pace! Orh Luah, Murtabak, Rojak, Prata, SI..AM (out of my way)!

Spontaneity is fun. I should try to practise and accept it more often!
