it’s past twelve so i suppose i will posting about yesterday! WOOHOO.

i woke up at 11.45 and ate BIG breakfast and rushed down to ngee ann city and ate coaca, some steamboat buffet. as i was taking the escalator up i saw this, i was so damn shock to see this, someone.

oh, nvm about it. i overtook this group of people and rushed up to coaca to have my steamboat buffet. it was nice la but the cooker wasn’t. hahahah. i didn’t take any photo there because i had not “wake up” at that period of time. after eating for about 30mins i went to the toilet. at the moment of time there was someone using the toilet at the restaurant so i went out to use the toilet at ngee ann city. i could not find any vacant cubical so i used the cubical for the handicapped. this is what i see.

for once, i thought i have been learning ergonomic and it is best if it is applied at such areas but apparently no. for once, you have alrdy said for handicapped people. if the distance between the toilet bowl and the toilet paper is so damn FAR how can the handicapped fellow reach it? don’t say the handicapped people, even a close to normal person (due to my spine) with long limbs, can not even reach the toilet paper from the seat la. i have to bend forward to reach it. DAMN! imagine i was shitting.

after all these, i went to the coffee club to drink hot chocolate and eat chocolate fondue. it was my first fondue but it wasn’t a satisfaction. the chocolate was neither sweet nor bitter, it some how stuck in the middle of no where. here it goes.

then after that, look at the time. it’s already pass 2.30pm, so i quickly sms viole to see what time the guys are going over so i could go over. then she said ron and jonathan are going over at three, then i’m like i gonna be so damn bloody late. i told her that because i forgot that i have to run an errand for my mama, so i continued shopping as there will be free rides home later because of my grandma. hahaha, cheap of me..

so i continued shopping and bought a brand new wallet for myself at the project shop. WOOHOO, loves. i find it so cool la.

agree with me right? so after buying the wallet, i went home. put some stuffs then went out to buy sweet talk for RON, JONATHAN, VIOLET, ALFRED!  mahjong sessions with them.. hahahaa.. when i reached there they were already at the fourth  (北风) so i sat down and played for the four stages. i lost all. hahaha, so lucky of me la.

after that we had had our dinner at her place. after that we watched some show then i insisted on some photos. haha, only managed to take four pictures and my phone went low batt, sheees. bad timing.

i took photo with violet’s mummy. violet took her’s with her mummy. jonathan was shy. & i took photo with ron as well. i love photos with friend.

the nxt few i must quote:
i saw kenneth today and i miss those freaky boys. 
wei jin told me he wanted to play mahjong at his place with wappians.
i miss wappians.

the next few photos are my promises, more photos on the wedding but there are more to come. waiting for it to be developed.

first three photo was obviously all my stupid acts/ideas.
the last photos are photos of all SKD people tho i nt noe all of them, but the are the people surrounding sir. just like your friends surrounding you. they are love by you just like the people are love by him.

never forget the people around you. they are the hints to your life. each and everyone of them plays an important role in you even a cleaner or your maid.

people lived in fear, sorrows, hunger and anger during a war. nothing can be expected, anything chewable are food, anything watery are water. that’s how you live in a war.

as i said i watch the movie “The Pianist” about 2.5hrs ago. the movie was an absolute. it depicts clearly how a war started, how it processed and how it ended. it is a clear cut award winning movie.

it was about world war two, when german hates the jews. the suspended the jews from this and that, treat them worst than an animal. killed, slashed and whacked them as and when they like it. this pianist couldnt take it no more, he smuggled guns, grenades, bullets for the jews to attack the germans when they are up to it and the jews did. of course, the german were angrier and attacked back. Russia sent a warning letter to the german to stop the nonsense but those letter were no threats to them. until the russia decided to take action and this is how the germans suffered.

one thing that surprises me was the german general. szpilman, a pianist who survived this war miracally alone out at the damaged houses. his struggle takes in a long, silent period with imaginary panio music which motivates him to stay a live. the german general found him at one of the damaged house. when he saw szpilman he didnt kill him immediately. he talked to him patiently, and helped him along his survival. szpilman didnt know how to return this big big favour to him. one day all germans army troops had been captured. this general stood up and approached one jew and asked him to inform szpilman to save him. everything was too late, the name was not mentioned. and living with regret till now szpilman kept searching for that guy and found his name. but he was dead.

szpilman lived on, till yr 2000 at the age of 88. i believed he shared this story with the world to show that everyone has a heart and no one is so heartless to kill one helpless soul.

alright, out of the point. tho i may a lousier critic for this movie.
but still, this is a must watch movie.
i gave a brief brief summary, but this movie has an approx 149mins of show time.
i missed alot of points. sheeees. but go go and rent it. it is nice

Joy Luck Club

I remembered the time from 2:06am (GMT +8); I watched the movie Joy Luck Club till 4:23am. The cover of the disc has a couple kissing and at the back of the cover have a mother carrying two babies and at the bottom another couple. Inside the disc case there are two pictures, at the top it clearly showed that there are four beautiful women accompanied by their prettiest daughter. And at the bottom, it shows a picture of an aftermath of a war. The most interesting part of the whole disc case including the disc was that the disc has mahjong tiles on it with a forest as the background. First glance of the whole package, the first image or the flow of the movie, I thought would be the four beautiful women met in a war who slowly got into a Chinese traditional sister bondage. They slowly found their beloved and thus got married and had each a pretty daughter. The mahjong tiles actually made me thought of the bondage because most Chinese gamble with mahjong. I can say that I am truly wrong, this movie instilled me with the hopes and dreams of each mother could get to their child.

I am trying to be the critic for the very first time. This movie, I believed, has engaged me into deep thoughts which made me unable to sleep throughout the nights. Every family has their own problems, every single soul in the family has their own problems as well. Secrets are sometimes not told, because once it is told it’s not meaningful anymore. Tears filled my eyes, when I saw how the mother sacrifices herself. How daughters as well, sacrifices for their own parents without letting the parents know. The love for each other never ends. Parents may seem not understanding, yet they are the one who understand you most. For everything they do, are simply well for you. Too bad, ages from young to eighteen will never know these secrets deep down in their parents heart especially the mother’s.

This story makes me think back, all the disappointments that I had donned on her. I didn’t disappoint her, it was just because I want everything to be how I want it to go, how perfect I wanted it to be. I didn’t think of how she would think or how she would feel. I am being contradicting here I know. I was always too full of myself thinking that I am one of better ones. She hoped that I can be the best I can be, she didn’t force me to. During the days of primary school she asked me to study, I was reluctant. To be frank, I acted studying. So what I got good grades for prelims, I got too full of myself and flunk my PSLE. I felt disappointed in myself, I felt even worst when she said, “I know you have done your best.” I was utterly disappointed in myself. Till then I know all the while I have been pushing myself, she didn’t pursue good quality of me, it’s because how good quality I wanted myself to be  neglected all the uglies.

The movie made me see things how I never see life before. I know that my mother was beautiful but never did I know that she is more beautiful than I thought. She knows what is best for me. She knows what word to use at the correct situation to motivate me. Was I too foolish to think? She never did force me to learn anything I didn’t want to learn. For everything she asked me. I listened to my friend’s part of mummy’s decision and I clearly found out, the mother threw a piano in front of him and ask him to learn, was he interested? No. I have been making decision in my life all the time without I myself knowing it.

For something that I am glad now is that, I am only seventeen this year. I have not gone through army. I have not gone through real life decision for myself. The beautiful lady actually prepared me for that. It is tough for her being my superwoman, not only mine but my brother and sister.

Oh well, why did criticism leads to all these? It is a must see film. A film which shares four families whose lives are filled with joy and heartbreak, from the past of the war to the modern days of what we are now.  Parents have gone through worst scenario, they are making it better for us. DON’T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.

The disc can be found in most video stores, I guess. I found it in laser flair, I rented it and cried with it. This is the first movie I watched with tears, I suppose. I rented two more movies which are “the pianist” and “happy birthday”. The first title I heard was from Serena and Charles while they were talking behind me. I didn’t eavesdrop, they were just a little louder than I expected. The second title is a Chinese film, which I always wanted to watch but I couldn’t find the time due to the GCE O levels and the spine breaking last year. Since it is in Chinese, I will try to criticize in Chinese at donlim.livejournal.com.

Now I wonder, if the movie was actually nice or is that I seldom have the chance to catch movies or watch television at home. Could someone please rent this precious movie and tell me if you have the same feeling as me? It’s okay I guess, I wonder who will actually read till the bottom. It is such a long post and only a quarter is about the film and three quarter is about my beautiful mother.

I wrote a thousand words with a total of nine paragraphs for this post. I think this would be the longest post that I have ever posted. Thank you for reading, I appreciated that.
