Breakfast for dinner at the coffee club

Last week was a whirlwind. and that i dare say that that is not an understatement. And it had me thinking that maybe we all are in denial some way or another. I obviously am.. people who know me well will know that i think of my life as, possibly, a classic 50s movie. just black and white, no colour. and that romance and drama exist around every corner. i simply refuse to believe that the perfect scene, person or movie does not exist. But really.. is being in denial that bad? Is its absence the key to getting forward in life or is it just an innocent fantasy?

*according to lillian’s new macbook’s dictionary (which is really really pretty- the macbook that is) , denial: failure to acknowledge an unacceptable truth or emotion or to admit it into consciousness.

immediately when the definition popped up, lillian and i could only think of one name. B. and without revealing any personal information about this B person, he/she fits this word perfectly. possibly even more perfectly than me. Funny how this denial seemed to have caused me a bit of trouble last week. Right B???? He/she too thinks that everyone lives a cinderella story. B, go watch enchanted. Sometimes the road to a glass slipper isnt really that straight. but who am i to judge right? i’m living breakfast at tiffanys.

Feeding to my personal fantasy, i watched sabrina and the great gatsby last week. My obsesseiveness seems to have extended to my bedroom with posters of roman holiday, breakfast at tiffanys, casablanca, dirty dancing and gone with the wind draped all over what used to be a very plain white wall. I even got min swept into it.. with her favourite all time movie being my fair lady. no surprise there of course.

Amongst all the seemingly ordinary happenings in our lives, lillian min and i managed to squeeze in a wonderful big breakfast. at our favourite time of the day (5pm). with extra hashbrowns of course.. Lillian just injected a thought into my brain.. why is it that breakfast has to be in the morning? whats wrong with eating hashbrowns scrambled eggs and toast at night? people in malaysia and singapore can eat nasi lemak for breakfast lunch or dinner..

And just a shout out to everyone who helped me through last week and got me through to this one (which hopefully wont be as bad). Lill, raj, min, joan, deb, sam.. Thanks.
