the problem with books by author mike gayle is that it is hardly chick lit. it's more like dick lit. actually, no scrap that.
his insight towards relationships, it's too honest. refreshing? yes, but only if you are strong enough to handle. because we always know, the truth hurts.
perhaps it's the meloncholic dramatic side of us that emerges when we read phrases that really jump right out at us and almost mockingly points at you, tauntingly screeching 'i know what ure going through right now.'
empathising? maybe. comforting. not one bit.

his books touch on commitment, how relationships build and fall apart, dashing and raising your hopes, because you're devouring every sentence as though it was talking to you.

when i read zen's blog about her crying when she heard meryl streep's version of 'the winner takes it all' i went to youtube to see what the fuss was about. and i couldnt find any reason. i dismissed it as one of those 'titanic moments' and titanic moments being how everyone cried at titanic and i was only a little sad because the ship sank in real life and i didnt really bother about the lovers in reel life.

more of, it's a girly thing.

and then today i went to paragon M1, and there was 'the cd shop' blasting the song. maybe it was the speakers, but surprisingly, haha i teared right there on the spot ( for only a second mind!) and all i could think of, 'shit you zen you were right all along.'

and my next thought was 'you were right too'

it was probably due to my extreme exhaustion given that i had barely 2 hours of sleep the night before, and hmm what's the famous line? physically mentally emotionally exhausted.

conclusion zen and cher: it's only emoting vulnerable idiots that love the song.
and it's on repeat mode now too!

i'm off to switch to dancing queen or something.

i dont want to talk, because it makes me sad..
