It seems that anything around us is an evidence of time. They come in the form of perishable (think items that comes with an expiry date) and non-perishable.

Kevin once taught me to preserve a piece of mooncake by pouring hot wax over it to preserve it forever. Newspapers can be printed on microfilms for permanent used, where one do not flip the papers, but scan and rolled over it, just like a movie projector used in cinema.

And sometimes newspapers on microfilm gives us little surprises. Tom Cruise's 1983 leading debut Risky Business opens at Lido Cineplex in 1993, 10 years after it was first banned in S'pore for discussing immoral themes aka prostitution as a final year business school project.

And last friday's ST surprises me. GV decided to bring back Roger Mitchelle's The Mother, 2 years after it was first screened in GV Plaza.

Before Daniel Craig replaces Pierce Bronsnan as the next James Bond, he first appared in a movie that not only make the audience dropped their jaws, but also make one realised how he/she should look into the wants and needs of their mother.

Sad to say, The Mother was one of the few little rare jems that was forgotten by time, for it does not have a strong cast (how many people knows Craig and Anne Reid then? People will know Reid if they pay attention to those British and American drama series that they watched, for Reid is no stranger to drama series.)

And The Mother was totally out of my mind for the past 2 years, until it reappaers on GV's timing schedule printed on ST, that it will have a re-run for a limited period.

Re-run after 2 years? That was not really surprising, for Apollo 13 makes a return on IMAX format 8 years after it first make it to the big screen in 1995.

And let's not forget movies with super long run in theatres.

In 1991, David Lynch's Wild At Heart, the 1st R-rated English movie in Singapore, has been playing in various cinemas for a year.

While Tsui Hark and Jet Li worked and released 3 Once Upon A Time (Wong Fei Hong) series from Dec 91 to July 92, Philip Kaufman's The Unbearable Lightness of Being has becomes the only English R(A) film that has been playing in the then Jade Classic, Yangtze and President (the location of the current Balestier cineplex) from Dec 91 to July 92.

James Cameron's Titanic has been sailing in the then Cathay Cinema from Dec 97 to July 98.

And far away in India, Shah Rukh Khan's Diwale Duhainya Le Jayagne played in a particular cinema in Mumbai for 10 years, and still running strong today.

The Mother brings back the sting that still pricks my heart 2 years ago. I throw tantrums at Jeremy for some personal reason when The Mother played in GV Plaza 2 years ago. 2 years later, when GV Vivocity resurrected The Mother, Jeremy asked me if i am interested in getting a part time bachelor in business degree from University of California.

In some way, time has healed the wounds of him (i supposed so. mabey he had forgotten the whole drama about it.) but till today, i still could not forgive myself from shouting at him.
