Romance in Writing

Charming people always seem to be able to string a couple of words together right out of the top of their heads in order to give an answer that most would regard in high esteem. Flattering and amusing are their quick witted responses and are usually the components to their enormous romantic appeal. Such charm can be found in some writers who have similar capabilities when transfering their smooth language onto a piece of paper. They are as attractive and appealing when read as well as heard. Undoubtedly most romance films that engage our hearts rather than our lust(dare I say for men too)have a noticable connection to romantic people who can write well.Allow me to take a few examples:



Starting with the Notebook(as if the name itself doesn't give it away). However the part which I really wanted to bring into attention was the 365 letters Noah wrote to Allie.Thats one for each day of a year. Thats making a life pouring your heart out on paper everyday for a year(now thats something).



Hitch. The witty Sarah Melas(Eva Mendes) is a gossip columnist.


27 Dresses. The annoying yet always right Kevin Doyle(James Marseden) is a writer.


Lastly "Definitely, Maybe". William Hayes(Ryan Reynolds) is a speech writer and how about the most charming Natasha Rose aka Summer Hartley(Rachel Weisz) who is also a writer.(I really enjoyed this movie).


By now you might probably notice my admiration of those who can write well and perhaps a slight infatuation if a good writer is female. If one is planning to make a career in writing being attractively charming would most probably follow(I bet future magazine columnist Julia Low would agree to that).

Hey, I think I'm realisticly decent in my writing.....I should be charming and attractive by now.....whats going wrong?

P.S. I'm only doing this because I got too much time on my hands.

P.S. Someone take me out pls.

Boyishly Handsome

I was at a friends(Yi Han) birthday outing last night and it was really nice hanging out with old friends. However the most memorable moment of the night came with a conversation i had with a girl there(I don't know her), went abit like this:

Girl: How old are you?(first thing she said to me all night...not a good conversation started)

Aaron: I'm 19 just like the rest of the guys( A little bit stunned)

Girl: Oh i thought you were 13!!. I think its the braces and the way you dress

Aaron: ..............................(extremely stunned). I must be boyishly handsome then (forcing back the shock/slight embarrassment and acting as charming as I could have been at the time).

Girl:(amidst the crowds laughter at the last remark)your cute!!!(trying to cover up I guess)

Later I found out she was 16 and was even more stunned and embarrassed. She really wasnt the charming type though, if you get my drift.

But I guess out of all of this, I can't complain too much though. Typically because most of the celebrity personalities I admire do have that boyish look/charm namely:

Mr, Ryan Reynolds



Mr, James Marsden


and Mr, Mathew Perry


Unsurprisingly the term "Boyishly Handsome" was one i took from a movie starred by Ryan Reynolds called "Definately, Maybe". So you can see why I should'nt be too disappointed with some pointing out my young look. James Marsden's 35 by the way.
Lastly, I was wearing a double layer with a shirt on the inside and a T-shirt outside....I thought i looked decently mature!!

Thrilling yet fustrating


4-4 is whatt you get when you put a good attack and a defence having a bad day.

Arshavin's fourth goal should have won the game.....I feel kinda a bad for liverpool though....I bet they wished arshavin was on their side yesterday.

Real Love?



Love , a word so broad the Greeks had four to explain the different kinds. Storge (Family affection), Eros (Romance), Philia (Friendship) and Agape (Unconditional Love). Agape is perhaps the most appealing.


Easter to Christians is a reminder of the day Jesus rose again after being crucified on the cross.


Cliche? Perhaps to some. Even more when most don't understand the need for such to happen(Jesus dying and coming back to life, well confusions mostly at the dying part). Thus allow me to explain.


Imagine a murderer on death row awaiting his fate. The prison guard walks up to the cell and stuffs the key into the lock and turns it. The criminal worried now, though he wasn't before. He thought to himself "well, all these years I've been telling myself life doesn't matter to me........guess I was wrong". He stands up.


The guards eyes stares at him piercingly as the door opens. To the amazement of the convict, the guard says:


"Your free to go, someone else decided to take place......your father", the guard explains with some anger.



Lets face it, in our lifetime we've done and thought of a lot of horrible, unnatural and utterly disgusting things. The passing mark for God can only be perfection and we've failed miserably. Thus, God to show us how much he loves us( agape), takes the punishment of our failures on the cross. That practically makes us the convict and Him the father in the analogy.

This so that we could start again, to make us new. This time with His help, hence failing woudn't be an issue. The beauty of the story is Easter, Jesus rose again (No tragedy there).
Not long after that,went up into heaven (but thats a story for another day)





Watch as He made all things new!!

Shark's Fin Soup and Global Warming

Two friends at a former college mate's wedding dinner looked at the second dish on the menu and saw Shark's Fin Soup written on it. Tim remembering that CS doesn't take the dish for an ethical reason turns to address him :-

Tim: CS, why don't you take Shark's Fin Soup ? After all, the sharks already dead and you won't change anything even if you skip the dish.

CS: Why are we trying to cut down on pollution? After all, Global Warming is already at it's peak, might as well just continue to pollute and wait to die.
