For some reasons, I ended up watching a movie I never planned to watch this weekend. It felt funny really.. going to the box office, getting the tics, and walking into the cinema hall- I did all those without feeling any excitement.. not a thing.
So it started with a trailer from "the pursuit of happiness".. a movie I intended to watch.
And the trailer had all those catchy lines that got you thinking "this gotta be a good movie!". My favorite line was of course this one: (taken from imdb)
Christopher Gardner (Will Smith): [to his son] You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period.
And few minutes afterwards, the movie had started and I realised that I was watching Miss Potter.
That line, and Miss Potter.. and me. Is this a message for me?
I never liked Renee but I thought Miss Potter was a good movie.. one of the better ones. Maybe I am biased, knowing Beatrix Potter's profession and all. But you gotta love Katie Melua's "When you taught me how to dance", sang as the credit rolled.
I like the line Renee used at the beginning and towards the end of the movie. It's something like: "There is something delicious about writing the first few lines of a story. You never know where it will bring you." That is soo soo.. true.

Haven't blogged on my trip back to Indo coz well.. it was so hectic that I couldn't think of one thing to say. Great and sinful food, hongbaos, lovely family, and well.. sorethroat.
Went to convocation for two days.. I still haven't found the reason why I was so motivated to join this year's convo but overall.. the event was great. though as rancu said.. it's a bit embarassing really.. that incident heh. The main event apart.. the convo did open my eyes to few things.. some are beautiful, some are pitiful. Nevermind =D
This time last year.. I was eagerly expecting my Japan trip.. no plan this year.. but China is tempting. 'fish liver oil' could be interested but not supposed to ask her either...
You know.. sometimes.. in love life and stuff.. it's better to overestimate yourself, at most you will be fooling yourself. The biggest mistake is to underestimate yourself.. coz you will risk hurting someone that way.
Now.. why am I interested in China?
Because Yangtze river.. the great river.. will be closed come 2008 or 2009 and you will not be able to sail down the river anymore. The river has some of the best scenery you could ever find and it has been the source of inspiration for many poets centuries ago. So.. you should consider going heh. And not just because of the great wall.. coz you will realise that it's nothing but erm... wall.
