fourletterstory

Haven't asked him yet on the rationale behind this name. Could very well be random! But then again, it's been some time since we last met; and much has changed.

Though from the same hometown, we only clicked in college, when we passed each other by and went, "Wait a minute, I know that face..." Then the next 2+ years were of cafeteria dinners, CF meetings, sidewalk chats, band-wannabe-ing in the music room (Pink Panther! Sweet Child of Mine!), singing in the middle of the field (and that irritating frisbee), even a doomed-to-fail "group study" before exams... (Oh I wish Alice could see this and reminisce...)

You were always the joker, Joel. And you've not lost that streak. Finding emo and fourletterstory SO reeks of you la.

But we grew up huh. GREAT. Okay okay. Seriously, great :) It's about time. And I look forward not just to your EP, but also to see how much more we can grow in Him and bless His people with that which He has entrusted to us. I'm sure you'll do fine. Bit emo, maybe, but hey, there's only one way to live life.

FULLY.

And if that includes some emo episodes, SO BE IT. I dare say it makes us better musicians.

See you soon, maybe! Til then! Stay you!

What we learnt from Moulin Rouge


Suddenly I recalled the online chat with my best friend from high school. It must have taken place about... 6, maybe 7 years ago (or more, even).

Frogz: So what movies have you watched lately?
Jules: Moulin Rouge!! Have you seen it yet? You absolutely have to!!
Frogz: Yeah... seen that... Nicole Kidman is so hot!! Shorty, you gotta do the makeup thing la...
Jules: Hahaha.... yeah right, watch me start....NOT!!
Frogz: What is the moral of the story, in your opinion?
Jules: Ummm... that true love ultimately prevails.
Frogz: Wanna know what my take-away was?
Jules: What?
Frogz: Even courtesans find love.

-- That's right. Even courtesans find love.

Come what may.

Livewire's First Poll!

Hello folks!

Now for some interactivity! The idea sprung into mind last night - and so I'll ask you, dear readers - what is your favourite Livewire post of 2007? Take part in the poll on the right-column, and yes, you are allowed multiple votes... The ones listed are some of the more notable ones, and if you've others, do let me know which ones in the comment section yeah?

The poll is only valid for 15 days from now! So let me know!

Oh yes, this poll only "regular-type" posts, and not poems/prose/verse... that'll probably be the next poll subject... if there are enough entries, that is...

Love,
Jules
