881

Just saw the movie 881 with Willie...
It's been weeks since someone last asked me out for a movie...
My last movie was [The Simpsons].

There are so many movies i wanna watch. But i hate going to the theatres alone.

Thanks Bro.
It was stress-relieving for both of us...
Especially when SIM is strangling me on my throat...

Anyway, though 881 is a local production and the crew are some unfamous local celebrities who are only shine during the lunar 7th mth, I would say it's a wonderfully-done hokkien musical. A little crude in the language. But very straight forward. Kinda remind me the days i hung out with my ah beng friends.

I love this song especially. (Very meaningful)

ONE HALF 一人一半
演唱：伍家辉
词：小寒
曲：范俊福

一人一半感情不散
一人一素故感情才会久

时光累积安静的泪滴
一心去追爱那么可贵

这样的人这样地等
无非是等个回应眼神
为爱反滚不及伤痕
甘心为你一身都浮沉

这样的人别笑我蠢
傻傻的心痛也不觉疼
就算天冷就算难残忍
等你想起这没用的人

一人一半感情不散
已经找到爱为何要离开

已经找到爱为何要先开

After the show, Willie bought a cup of MOS milk tea and offered it to me after a sip.
"tzih lang tzih pua?" I asked... Haha....

~Brothers in life~

because you make me feel special.

HAPPY 42th BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!

*Ya, I know... I haven blog for a bloody long time. Dun have to remind me...

This post is in tribute to Cecil (Yes, I know he isn't dead yet..)
ok... dedicated to him... =P

It's the NDP on the country's 42th birthday.
Perhaps to most NSF/NsMen... they would dread this day.
and perhaps sum overgrown men feel this day sucks big time...

I ain't sum patriotic ass when i typed this blog...
but i must say, 4 things which i did this month did lift the patriotic spirit...
or least, to celebrate for Singapore too.

1. As I take the cab along the ECP, from Changi Airport to town...
The greenery in Singapore, the common scenes, the tranquility, the feeling of home.
(Whenever I am feeling low, I look around me and I know, there's a place that will stay within me, wherever i may choose to go...)

2. The fireworks on NDP...
Why did God intervene the invention of fireworks? It's pointless. Burning things up in the sky.
Wasting money and polluting the air. But i guess the purpose of it is the awesomeness sight of colours in the dark sky.

3. The flag..
What is the purpose of a flag? Why the design of the flag? Identity? Allowing it to fly in the air... Soaring... Quite a soothing feeling when you claim ownership/affliation of the flying flag.

4. Why the hassle of going thru all this NDP for just one stupid national holiday?
It is our country. And it's the soldiers who protect it. Everyone on this land has a duty. Just as Cecil told me, the kids on the grand stand were all so excited and happy to see the soldiers that they cheered and clapped. When we think of things in simplicity. Yes, who else? what else to celebrate? Yes, rehearsals after rehearsals... but ultimately, to show to the world that Singapore can do their best and will flaunt their colours in the sky.

Try digesting the songs like [Home] and this year's [There's no place I'd rather be]...
and you'll understand why it's for the NDP...

I've walked the streets of Cairo and Bombay
I've seen the lights of ole Broadway
I've climbed the Eiffel Tower
The Great Wall in one hour
Experienced sweet and sour but that's okay

Seen Hollywood, the sunsets in LA
The London Bridge, Big Ben, The Thames, UK
I've crossed the River Kwai
Yet still I don't know why
I think of you each night and every day

There's no place I'd rather be
You'll always be a part of me
And even though I've roamed the world
It's still it's home I long to see

This is where my family
And my friends grew up with me
So I'll cross the skies and sail the seas
To be where I wanna be

Cos there's no place I'd rather be!

because you make me feel special.
