Time Capsule

I was surfing the net, when I saw this site titled 'MyHeartWill'. The concept is exactly like leaving a will..but instead of money, you'd be leaving a legacy of memories or letters to loved ones to be opened in the future. Just like a time capsule. But instead of burying the time capsule deep down in the soil, you leave the time capsule with them to care and send it to someone at exactly the date 10, 15 years later.

Below is an extract from the site :

'Many of us keep our most precious memories on a shelf, in a shoebox or in the pages of a diary. We cannot be sure that these items will stand the test of time or that our memories will live on after we are gone.

Creating a Heartwill removes this uncertainty. A Heartwill is a secure, online safe box, where you can store letters, photographs, recordings and copies of memorabilia.

MyHeartwill is a place where you can create dedicated messages for friends and family which can be scheduled for delivery well into the future, enabling you to speak to the people you love even when your voice is still. It is a way to pass on elements of your emotional life - the beliefs, values and experiences that shaped you as a person - in a place where they can always be found.

Food for thoughts..

Men vs Women

As oppose to what we think, it's easy to maintain a good and stable relationship.. provided that it's not with a man. :p With a man, well, it's a exactly the opposite as a man has different way of thinking when it comes to 'love' and 'relationship'. Different channels and different wavelength... which causes lots of heartache and miscommunication. Well, it cannot be help. Women are from the earth.. while men are..aliens :p lol.. Women love to analyze everything..while men just love to take things as simple as they are.

It takes some getting use to and maybe.. a common dictionary before you are able to communicate easily with each other. Below is an amusing story about relationships, which I would like to share with you. lol..enjoy it.


*********************************
Let's take an example. We will look at the case of subject A (which we will call 'Jack') and subject B (let's call her 'Jill'). Jack asked Jill out to watch a movie. Jill accepted and all went well. They had a good time.

A few days later, Jack asked Jill out again for a twosome dinner. It turns out to be a fine evening, each enjoying the other's company. Then they fixed another night out, and another, and another until they were seen as an 'item' or a 'couple'.

Then one night, Jill says to Jack: 'Did you notice that it has been 6 months that we went out together?'. And there was a long silence in the car.

Jill's thinking in her head:
'Sxxt. Maybe I should have not said that. Jack will feel trapped and thinks that I am trying to get him to commit himself to me.'

Jack thinks:
'Wow! 6 months already!'

Jill thinks:
'By the way, I have also not thought of turning this relationship into something serious yet. Will we marry? Have kids? Live together? I don't even know him that well!'

Jack thinks:
'This means that.. we have been going out..since..let's see.. February. Just after I sent my car to be serviced. Hmm.. let me see the mileage counter.. yes.. it's almost time to service it again.'

Jill thinks:
Jack has that worried look on his face. What if I am mistaken about the whole thing? Maybe he wants more from all this. To become more intimate and..an engagement! Maybe he saw a kind of reserve in me. Maybe he's afraid to be rejected. Yes. That must be it.

Jack thinks:
This time I will make sure they check the transmission. I don't care what those mechanics say. Fancy saying that there's nothing wrong. It's all because of the weather, they say. To think that I paid $ 300 to them the last time and it still feels like driving with a heavy load! Cheaters!'

Jill thinks:
He's angry. I understand. I would feel the same if I were in his shoes. It's my fault that he's all upset. But I can't do anything about it. I am not sure yet of my feelings.

Jack thinks:
Well, I am sure that those mechanics will say that I was driving in unsuitable weather! Those thieves!

Jill thinks:
Hmm.. Perhaps i am too strict with myself. Waiting for a knight in a shining armor.. even though I have now next to me a good man who is suffering just because of my childhood dream.

Jack thinks;
Well, I'll show them this time! I'll make sure that they fix everything the way I want!

Jill says aloud: Jack..
Jack : What?
Jill : I am so silly. I realized now that knights in shining armors do not exist. So does their horses.
Jack : Horses?
Jill : You must think that I am stupid, right?
Jack : Not at all. (Jack was happy that he's able to give a correct answer).
Jill : I just need some time..

There was a silence as Jack tries hard to think of a right answer.
Jack : Yes. (Hoping that this is what Jill wants to hear).
Jill : Oh Jack. You do understand. (Moved by Jack's reply, Jill holds Jack's hand)
Jack : Understand what?
Jill : About needing time..(Jill then looks directly into his eyes)
Jack : Of course..Of course I do. (Jack stuttered, getting nervous)
Jill : Thank you, Jack
Jack : You are welcome... (still unsure of what it's all about).

Jill went home, with millions of thoughts running in her head and cried herself to sleep. Jack went home, opened a packet of chips, sits in front of the tv, watching a tennis match. A voice was warning him that something had happened in the car.. but better not think about that.

The male brain is definitely made to analyze numbers and solve concrete problems. :) He cannot grasp something as abstract as love and need. While a woman is convinced that a man must have thought about where a relationship is going. Well, how could a man spend day after day and night after night going out with a woman and not think about it?

Conclusion: A man is not perceptive enough to know that they are in a love relationship with a woman. :p They are slow when it comes to matter of the hearts. So, in order to get the message across to them, you need to slowly and repeatedly put the idea subtly into his head. For example: 'Jack, we are in a love, please pass me the salt'. Or 'Jack, there's a cockroach in the room and you and me are in love'.
And you will see that one day, he will suddenly wake up and thought of it by himself..'Oh..Jill and me, we are in love..'

Have not laugh this much for some time. Lovely story, indeed.

Scary Movies

I love watching scary movies. I am not picky whether it's in Malay, English, Chinese or Thailand..as long as there's subtitles. Sounds not like me at all, kan.

Well..I do love watching romantic movies, comedies and thrillers also. Alas, my favorite movie remains horror and scary movies. I just love making myself scared. When you are afraid, the rush of adrenaline clears the mind. Same effect as riding on the roller coaster. You just got to do it even though your legs are like jelly already. Must be the dark side of me..:p hehehe.. love having the heart beating as fast as it can from time to time. One rule though, I will not watch a scary movie on my own. Too scary, lho..

Among the 3 scary movies that I would give a 5 star rating:

a) Haunted Changi Hospital
This is supposed to be based on a real life footage that was taken by a film crew at Changi Hospital in January 2010. It's a documentary like movie with a background music of X-Files. Not that scary but nice to watch. :p See the trailer below.
Opening on Sept in Singapore


b) Nightmare on Elm Street
This movie sure is scary. I have watch all the series except for the latest one. The worst part is when there's flashback and when Freddy pops out. You'll never know when and even when you do expect it.. it still makes you jump out of your skin. Hates it especially when Freddy scratches his nail on a surface.. Ewww..


c) Shutter
This movie is about the mysterious ghost figure which keep disturbing the life of a photographer. Mysterious and scary...and it's only at the end that you'll find out the why .. and that the punishment does fit the crime that was committed. There's an American version also, but cat would recommend watching it in the original version : Thailand. The pace is faster and more believable.


Happy 'ghost' watching night.. :p (grin)
