SUNDAY

Good sunday because there're good movies on HBO.

• The Bucket List
• Blood Diamond
• Seabiscuit
• The Da Vinci Code
• FINDING NEMO (hehehehe)

Turned on the the tv this afternoon and The Bucket List was already 2/3 gone. Based on that last 30 minutes or so I think it's my type of movie, shall watch it full one day. 

Blood Diamond, one of my brother's favorite and as much as Leonardo Dicaprio is my all-time favorite for so many years, it just isn't mine. I think it just makes me sad that there is some truth to it and it just ... well. And my brother told me how he picked up the African accent in the movie, which I haven't really realised the past few times when I watched it. How cool and talented is that? And he acted with a different accent without losing his authentic Leonardo-ness. Leonardo Dicaprio is my all-time favorite actor, makes me question myself who's my all-time favorite actress? A good to-do for the next few months for me to find out.

Seabiscuit - a true story of the undersized Depression-era racehorse whose victories lifted the spirits of the team behind it and also gripped the heart of their nation. (from the info bar)

I'm a sucker for movies based on/adapted from true life events.

And yeah, I need to finish reading my book because once again, the due date has passed hahaha.

And omg i just got bitten by mozzies. I HATE MOZZIES!!!

Anyway I really enjoy great movies. Everytime I watch a good one, it makes me believe that there is a greater, grander and more complete mean of life than what I have here in Singapore. It's not a criticism that what I have here in Singapore is not enough. But knowing that other versions of life exist, I myself wish that I could live them here within the limits of Singapore because it makes me feel like I'm living more like a human. Experiencing the multi-facets that life has to offer. Most of which are simple and free. For example, I really love nature and if we have a countryside with abundance of nature, wild animals and flora and fauna... mountains and waterfalls... people who are indigenous... I would be very happy, and I know that whenever I need to wind down from the city life, there's a place I can retreat to. A place that's free from all these and is peaceful. I can spend money to take a train to all these. Or if I have time to spare, I can take buses or walk myself. Such simple retreats of living are pretty affordable and attainable to everyone, but in Singapore, we usually have to pay money, or venture overseas to enjoy the same basic thing. It's the lack of all these which I think many people are travelling out. It's all about feeling free.

Okay I don't know what I've just typed. But okay BYE I have some errands to run. May the second week of September continue to be great :)
