movie marathon!

had a bad start in e morning today.
was rushing for work at Kumon...
and when i reached bishan mrt,
at BreadTalk there,
my slippers broke.
and i was stranded there, because early morning at 9.45am
none of the shops in Junction 8 was opened.
i was soooo prepared to go Charles & Keith
and just buy 1 pair of sandals or slippers
DESPITE their sky high price that does not justify their quality
and NO it wasn't open.
and SO, i walked back home
BAREFOOTED
from breadtalk there all the way home
quite an experience if u ask me
but definitely not enjoyable since i was rushing for work
=(

but i caught 2 movies today!
please don't come ask me why.

My Sister's Keeper


 its quite a disappointment
cause i read the book.
the ending is totally different.
i went 'HUH?!' and 0.o
the feel is different.
when reading the book, i felt such INTENSE DISLIKE for the mother
because i felt she's the one causing all the misery in the family
albeit her good intentions.
sometimes, letting go is the only way to move on
because she cant accept the fact,
because she cant let go,
she brought such misery upon her family and others.
resulting in them having to resort to such extreme means to get the message across.

but i admit that Cameron Diaz did a rather good job
in playing the role of the mother
its very emotionally challenging
to be so drastic all the time.

i was like totally angry and tensed up and agitated while reading the book
the twist at the end of the book left a lingering taste after i finished it
all the 'huh how come this happened' feel
still unable to get over the twist.

strong emotions,
that the movie didn't evoke.

500 Days of Summer 


heard pretty good comments and reviews about it
so i went in with high expectations
too high i think.
cause i was disappointed too.
at the ending i was like -_-"

but i like the male lead!
he's kinda nerdy and scholarly with a tinge of shyness
so cute!

but i like the concept of the movie
this is not a love story.
its a story about love.
that sometimes for love,
no matter how much you give,
how much you love,
it will not be requitted.
Like the female lead, Summer.
she does not believe in love.
she does not want to get into a relationship.
but she got married happily in e end.
it just goes to show that sometimes,
it just takes the right person.
one can sacrifice and give all one has to give,
but can still lose the loved one to another who does not put in that much effort.
there's no explanation.
perhaps this would give some people out there hope,
but at the same time,
it would also create doubts in some.

-love-
