(no subject)
There was a time when I didn't feel like writing anything here on this livejournal. It brought back too many painful memories i'd rather forget and leave behind. Can it be too hard to guess for an innocent bystander by yourself? Anyway, it's over. I'm happy to be past all that.. luggage. And no. if you're thinking it's about some girl or some sexuality problem.. it's far more family-friendly than that. Ha!
So anyway, it's the new year, and although I've been harbouring ideas of creating a new blog somewhere else.. i can't. Because of the people I suppose. It just feels right here. Who knows of course.. but for now, and just because it's a new year. I'm writing here again.
so yes, happy cny to one and all!
It's nearing 2. Just finished watching a fantastic flick.. called hainan ji fan, aka Hainanese Chicken Rice. Filmed on location in Singapore, but featuring a cast of totally un-singaporean actors posing as singaporeans. Makes no sense! Still, i loved the directing of the film.. it's delicately beautiful in a subtle, unglammed style that is refreshing after watching so much .. hollywood. You know what i mean.
So since it's the new year, i'd like to leave everyone with my favourite quote from da movie.. 'Life First. Things Second. ... live life and don't let anyone stop you.' In my own increasing materialistic life, it made me think about what's really important. It's not things that matter, not well-designed apple products, or designer homes, or the dream car, or clothes, or a toned fit-as-salmon body, or all that stuff.... that matter. It's what surrounds all these.. the emotions, the experiences, the people.......
Gosh! I can't believe I'm so .. mushy. Or snaggy. Or whatever. I dont' care.
Anyway, THINK ABOUT IT. I WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY NEW YEAR. GAM BEI! :)
