Complexity meets simplicity..
i'm tired. tired of being nice to people. people who are unappreciative. unappreciative to well-meaning intentions. intentions that are then reciprocated with malicious acts. acts that disregard people's feelings.
does it pay to be concerned about others? sadly, not always. sometimes, there are people who make use of your compassion and exploit you. others only know how to receive but not give, which isnt that bad still. nonetheless, i still believe that you do onto others what you want others to do onto you (positive thinking). that is to say if you like to be affirmed, you should be generous with your praisings too! but as of now, i just want to take a break and recharge myself.
okay. enough of my whining. watched 881 last night at marina square. finally decided to watch with my family because it dawned on me i have never watched a movie with my mother, at least not any i can remember since i am of a discerning age. and so, my complimentary 4 tickets were exchanged for entry for my mother, sister, brother in-law and myself because Daffodil gets in free. ^.* overall it was a good local production considering it topped our box office and it is still pretty full house after 3 weeks of screening. a lot of local humor injected and storyline is one we can all relate to. but somehow i feel that movies made in Singapore tend to have similar style - jokes, jokes, jokes then tragedy strikes. the underlying issue that strikes a chord in our innermost feelings masked by satiristic humor. is it because the impact will be much greater after you have laughed so hard? the director's way of engaging the audience is uniquely Singapore. lol. in any way, it deserves 3.5 popcorns! so if you have yet to watch it, do make your way down to the nearest cinema ya? =P if not for the support of local productions, watch it for the glam blam and Hokkien pun!
praying for a revelation. a long-awaited enlightenment that have yet to come to pass. it may be late but i believe that someday, somehow it will. the wait is long but the fruit is sweet. eventually, my miracle will happen. ~.~
