I love breakfast on sundays especially!
Went tiong bahru market after not having visited that place in a
million gazillion years..haha. Totally overwhelmed by the variety of food available! And of
all the things to eat after going all the way there...I opted for
nonya zhang. Dots. Hahaha.
Nevermind the food, it's the company that matters more. Thanks sweetie for waking up for breakfast! =D
Caught
slumdog millionaire and I really think it's a show worth watching in the theatres. Watching the slums of mumbai unfold before my eyes really reminded me of the dumpsite in cambodia..the mountains of rubbish, the never ceasing flies buzzing continuously and the overall scene of poverty..it's really very heart-wrenching. For a few moments in the comfort of my seat, I was transported back to my ocip days..the dumpsite was truly an eye-opener and somehow, I'm glad that I had the chance to experience firsthand what kind of life the kids were living there.
Okay that's such a
hugeee deviation. From movie to reality. Haha. But really, the movie acutely captured the essence of life in poverty, the
rags-to-rajah dream which so many will never manage to grasp in their lives.
Before this movie was out in theatres, I thought it was a tad too unrealistic. What with winning
20 million rupees on a gameshow that I've watched a local version of before. But the way the story unfolds, it really becomes believable.
And at the heart of the story..so very true that it's only when one experiences the difficulties in life, find things out the hard way, undergo immense suffering and loss, that you really do learn and remember. I mean, what can you possibly learn much about life and its hardships by living a life of luxury, free from any sufferings? Your environment does shape the person you become..although the same environment can shape different people differently.
And honestly, I do prefer
slumdog to
benjamin button. Non-withstanding that I watched
button at a really late timeslot on a day when I was quite tiredd, the plot behind
slumdog is much more heartwarming and true to life.
Wanna catch
the wrestler too! Seems that lately I'm going more for movies with a storyline, a moral at the end of it with lessons to learn and things to appreciate in life. Movies can really put your life in perspective.
I feel so philosophical all of a sudden. Haha. All over
one movie! Seldom do I find movies which impact me hours after I leave the theatre.
And come tomorrow, monday arrives again..the week seems to pass quickly, but it's the weekends which fly by quickest while weekdays crawl at different speeds. I just pray for the end of the day to come fast fastt everyday. Hahaha. But I think I'm lucky, really. I don't dread going to work; I just wish I didn't have certain kinds of stress to face in the office. Whether from bosses, colleagues, clients or just projects. But that's being unrealistic. Haha.
Deadlines and more deadlines...maybe I still haven't fully transitioned from the life of a student to the life of a working adult.Hasn't been a year yet, just almost. I do wonder sometimes, am I too flippant for my own good, too playful for the kind of responsible adult I should be, and simply being unrealistic?..
Wake me up to reeaal life if you know I am okay..but sometimes I feel that time passes by so quickly; before you know it, you're another year older, have more responsibilities to undertake..I still want to be the little girl I always was.
This has been an extremely long and not very sensical post, but nevermind that. Haha. I think my thoughts are a little jumbled.
Okays dinner time! I shall look forward to the week ahead and welcome it with open arms. Then everything will seem better with the sun shining brightly in
my sky. =)
Your words never fail to touch me..thankyouu for everything. Loveyou darling! =)
