Nothing really much happened for the past few days, just going to BNSS to attend Speech day, eat, dinner with Shyam at Far East Sq (initially at PS, but i told him if he was late again, he has to go and eat at Far East with me, and you know what happens in the end.) , went to PA Holiday flats at Pasir Rius beach to help our dear Jeannie to get ready for the gathering, went to Parkway for ice cream and books etc...
Yesterday was Mayday, and it happens to be on a sun, so the following mon is a holiday as well. Nothing much on the papers, but a major death took place took place, which was not on any of the am papers: the former President Mr Wee Kim Wee passed away at 5.10am in his residency due to cancer, at the age of 89.
Nothing much to talk about the late Mr Wee, or better known as the people's president, cos i had a very blurry image when he was the president of S'pore from 1985-1993.
And so i spend a rather dull and boring day at home: watch this Singapore movie produced by Touch community service known as Destiny, which stars Aileen Tan and Xie Shaoguang. Present in a very Almodovar style, this is a film about a psychiatrist who just lost her husband. Previously, the couple loves each other much, but as the husband was infertile, they do not have any kids. Years later, she received a news that her husband had a son living in Malaysia, and wants to live in S'pore as the child's mum was murdered. At the same time, she was dealing with an policeman patient, the policeman woos her despite that he was married to a beauty.
Terribly dull and boring, cos just couldn't get the meaning of what is the whole story about. Eventually, we do not know what is the moral if the story even though it is a film produced by Touch community service, which the film comes with an moral after the end of the story.
Which reminds me of a lame movie i watch on Arts Central last nite: Main Hoon Na by Shah Rukh Khan. While Destiny is more of drama which makes one cloudy, Main Hoon Na is too complicated: Family Drama/Action/Thriller/Comedy/Musical/Teenage Drama. The whole movie sinks, actually. The plot: a mirror relection of Stephen Chow's Fight Back to School series, with a touch of K3G and KKHH aka Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The way the movie presented: combination of Matrix (too much matrix stunts, including the bullet time), your usual doze of dance and sing segment, and a touch of John Woo. If u had watched Woo's The Killer by Chow Yun Fatt or M:I 2 by Tom Cruise, u will see white pigeons flying around at the showdown. The ending: combination of Woo's pigeon, your usual explosion and the ending of Grease. Yes, the funfair carnival at the graduation of Rydell High has now take place in St Paul's College in Main Hoon Na.
If that's not enough, i forced myself down to Laserflair to rent the vcd of Head in the Clouds by Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz. Yep, the terribly louzy film, cos i am using clouds as a substitute of Colour Blossoms. Since i've not gotten the dvd, i might as well get myself Clouds 1st, so as to see the lesbo sex scene in the film. Oh yeah, for ya info, it was rated M18 for sexual content, if u do not know why Clouds can be a good substitute of Blossoms, just like using Nicorette as a substitute of cigarettes.: to curb one's urge.
