thoughts that interrupted the morning stride

there's been a lot on my mind these days. i'm itching for a change. i just can't put a steady finger to what it is.

perhaps there is a part of me who's just dying to challenge this status quo. and a part from watching Coco Avant Chanel.

a funny incident happened in the theatre. i was looking forward to settle down comfortably since i was watching a movie alone for the first time. as i approached my allotted seat, i saw another figure in it. i thought she'd understood if i just showed her my ticket stub but to my surprise she fished out hers instead. turned out we were allotted the same seat. dang! correct cinema, check. correct movie, check. i waited around 5 mins before being shown to another seat.

minor disruption aside, everyone ought to go for this little astonishing piece. the movie is in french and every bit as lovely as it's made out to be. i enjoyed watching how the movie unfolds. Coco would have been very proud. obviously the elegant threads were to die for. but of course, elegance has its price. having said that, audrey tautou made it effortless to watch a hundred times over.

anyhow, vincent called up one friday evening quasi teasing whilst demanding to meet me. i stared at the ringing phone for approx. 30 seconds before the face and name registered in my semi relaxant weekend mode. where the only plan for the night had been to catch a movie and then head home to catch up on snoozes was extended to a dinner date of cream mussels and prawn spaghetti.

it was a night i've often dreamed about and it felt pretty darn surreal that he materialized infront of me, with that same cheeky demeanour intact. well, any apprehensions were cleared up that night. s'pose we were really glad for the way things have developed ever since we lost touch for over 4 years.

he wanted to know all about the ''shocking news'' which is no longer as so the moment you've transcend the initial shock for slightly more than 2 years. i, in turn, wanted to know all about the beginning of his...elusiveness.

i'm still grinning fondly at the memories of last week. needless to tell, there was nary a quiet moment during the reunion. :)

i'll leave you with a quote i can associate very well with after i chopped off my locks,

''When a woman cuts her hair, her life is about to change.'' - Coco Avant Chanel

that, guys, is no lie.
