Sentimentality overload
Any perceived mushiness in any personal relationships aside -
Is it just me, or has there been a lot of sentimental advertisements on TV nowadays? It came on full force during the Merdeka month, if I remember correctly. I got used to and expected material from the usual suspects like the national petroleum company, the second national car producer and one or two telco companies; what surprised me was suddenly there was an onslaught of mushy advertisements from several finance services / insurance companies capturing images of senior and youthful citizens going around on foot or on by bus, smiling wistfully at the sky and elevated highways and helping old ladies cross the road while shielding them with their umbrellas. I remember being moved by the deep message that I got when watching these sentimental advertisements years ago. This year, however, I just dont get it. What I want to know is if the sentimental bandwagon is a big one - it'd be good to know how long will this sentimentality overload last. I long for fun and funny advertisements to return! Bungee-jump to get packets of Twisties or something - anything!

Who's the lucky one?
Saw BB late last night - hung out at his place for a couple of hours. He told me that he's the lucky one for meeting me! Awww.....

What a month so far
A bit on the news prior to this post: we all dont think she's preggers. I personally think she's insane, but I dont tell them that.
The wheels are in motion now for Yugen Ideas - things are moving. Not as fast as I think it should be, but it's moving in the direction that I like it to be.
I still see BB occasionally - what with our differing work schedule and all; he's lucky I'm more nocturnal than I say I am. By the time we see each other (if and when we do) it's after midnight and I'd be groggy and after his greeting of "What - no kiss?" the only thing suitable to say to him would be "Baby, I'd love to get that shirt off you" Hee hee hee...
Body's still aching. Grading time for 6th kyu is near - very near....
