"A very nice set of furnitures, barely two years old! "
He sounds like he has done me a big favour. Looking at his keen face, I chose my words carefully:
"You know, as a Gen Y, I have a very specific vision of how my home furniture will look like... "
He used a laugh to hide his disappointment and confusion.
"Haha, as a Gen X, people give free we just take."
And we both laughed to hide the awkwardness...
He then fished out his phone to show me some pictures of the furnitures.
"I have a very nice set of settee and dining table... "
I saw a set of PVC sofa in bright red, a glossy plastic-surfaced cabinet and a huge marble dining table. I shuddered, hoping my face didn't betray my thoughts.
"Thank you, but no thanks... "
I can survive in an apartment with bare minimum furnishing of my choice.
Written by: Buck Ram and Andy Rand ______________________________________________________________________________________ This version of Only You is performed by Mary Steenburgen in a scene in the movie Last Vegas. I think this is the best part of the movie... I have (we all have) heard this song numerous times, and I never thought it can be sung like that... so tender, so feminine, so seducing. At 60 years old, Mary Steenburgen just found out recently that she can sing. In 2007, she had a minor surgery and she was under anesthesia. When she woke up, music started playing in her head and she "couldn't turn it off". She picked up music since then, and began writing songs. In October 2013, she signed a contract with Universal Music Publishing as a songwriter. Life is made of infinite possibilities!
