it's de-lovely

i admit i'm bit of a purist. an extreme, all-or-none individual.

**

if it's classical music, it cannot be 'modernized' a la vanessa mae.

if it's jazz, it'd better not be a remake by some lousy amateur a la michael buble.

if it's chocolate, i don't want any nuts/fruits in it. same goes for my ice-cream.

if it's a tv drama, it'd better not be an episode with a theme, e.g musical.

if it's a musical, no cashing-in on pop music e.g. Mamma Mia (ABBA songs for broadway? oh goodness)

if it's clothes, don give them avant-garde, superfluous details. classics will do.

if it's food, no fusion or new twists to the flavours please.

if it's holland village, please don spoil my fave surburban quiet little town with an unnecessary mrt station.

if it's skipping a particular module's lessons, i'll skip them all the way.

if it's a task, i'd do it the old-fashioned, tried-and-tested, methodical way.

if it's sexuality, either u're completely gay or completely straight. i hate in-betweens. make up your minds, dahlings.

**

the list goes on really. i'm either very regimented/boring, or i just appreciate correctness and the Real Thing.

but perhaps, i'm just resistant to change. afraid that i'd lose the familiarity and the reason why i fell in love with that something in the first place.

"So taunt me, and hurt me
Deceive me, desert me
I'm yours till I die
So in love with you am I.."
