Synopsis:
A tale about a displaced twenty-six year old's wrestles with love, taking root, and the happiness that always seems just a step ahead.

E begins her 6th month in Singapore missing magnolias and macchiatos. She learns to cope with help from new-found friends who make Singapore feel like Miami; and Velvet like Studio 54. Together, the people who love her, and whom she loves back, weave a cushy cocoon around her - in it she recoils from heartlander crowds, bus drivers, and Mediacorp programming. For a while this seems enough. The lychee martinis and double-billed weekends dissolve away the frustration she has with distance, expectations, and inertia. But when this tapestry of rosiness starts to fray, E finds herself battling ambivalence in every aspect of her life.

9 months pass and E has finally wormed out of the emotional shithole in which she single-handedly had sentenced herself and the people who cared. She embarks on a journey to find her heart back, the one she’d kept away so long ago.

She starts to get her pulse back when she meets a fellow traveller; one who likes stencil art and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. One night while lying on their backs, they talk about jumping ship, resolutions and 2006 (a romantic comedy in the making). There is hope yet.
