爱屋及乌

Watched Quantum of Solace today...
I wanted to watch it, it was on my own accord... this proactiveness surprised even myself...

Somehow got alot of 感触 (Feeling) .....
So 熟悉 (Familiar) , yet so 陌生 (Foreign) feeling....

I must confess, the 1st Bond movie I watched was Casino Royale (2007)... yes... I dun fancy James Bond movies at all... yet after watching Casino Royale with Mr.Tan, I succumbed to his "persistence" and "eagerness" to share his interest with me.... I have watched the GoldFingers... Diamonds are forever, The Spy Who Loved Me... etc etc..

Is this what they call
爱屋及乌?
拼音 : ài wū jí wū
解 释 :意思喜爱那个人连带地爱护停留在房屋上的乌鸦。比喻爱一个人，连对与他有关系的人或物也喜欢。（及：连带、达到。乌：乌鸦。）
When you like someone, you like whatever the person likes too or whatever that is related to him/her! Ultimately share the same interest!

Well, thinking back... there are many things that I did not fancy doing, but somehow succumbed to it during the 1.5yrs period.... I must clarify, to say I "do not fancy" does not mean that I DON'T LIKE IT nor I HATE IT. It merely means that under normal circumstances, I will not make the initiative to do something...own accord volunteer myself for it... but I just might if all the elements fall in place!

Those who know me will tell you, "Soya's not a TV person!"
I may love catching a movie or two.... an occasional dose of TV or a certain old movie that I watched B4(Yes, I will watch many MANY times if I really like it!) That Square-looking-silver-box in the room is probably as white an elephant as Buangkok MRT station...except that it's called a TV.

Well, that was at least before dating Mr.Tan... But even when:
- I had not watched a single LORD OF THE RINGS; on a faithful weekend, I actually volunteered to watch it, and finish watching the whole 3 episodes in 2 sitting and I must say I quite like it.
- I had not watched a single STAR WARS movie; I bought a nice Movie collection online from Amazon.com as a gift and volunteered to watch it together (BTW, I had HATED STAR WARS b4!!!)
- I had watched the whole collection of BONES Season 1-3, CSI Miami, NewYork etc.... lost track of how many drama series I have watched!
- I actually spent free time watching Animal Planet and Discovery (2 of my fav programmes! But alas only on Cable! DAMN!)

Even my interest and taste for watches changed from CASIO(I still love them!) to the basic ROLEX(I will lookout for the ads in the newspaper!) But I am still very much the same person... just more exposed and learnt more abt the BIG BIG WORLD...

Now that I am back in my own room.... my comfort zone... my TV is again the White Elephant....
I do too much for Love... which I know I shouldnt, but yet I keep falling for the same pothole.... when will I ever learn?! DAMN!

Was all the 爱屋及乌 worth it? What abt my 乌 ? Did he learnt to like my 乌 too? Or was it a one sided thingy? Or was I too Blind/lousy as a gf to notice that he had liked my 乌 too? Did he even 爱屋 in the 1st place...?
I have all these Questions that I will not have answers to!
I wanna learn from my mistakes (if there were any)...and definitely try not repeat them next time!

I have no regrets for being the who I am, doing the things that I have done for others and for myself... the sweet memories just keep flowing back... I will always remb what Mr.Tan will always nonchalantly say after doing something I DID-NOT-FANCY-Doing.... "So u like it? Huh? huh? See... niceee right? Ur BF have good taste yah!"

For these sweet memories... I will always cherish... the everlasting sweetness....=D
YAY!
