Amazing Spidey

Oh yeah.. finally we had a movie date again in cine after many moons.
We watched plenty of movies in 21 or blitz for the last 2 years but there is just something special about a movie together in Sg.
Our first movie date was a not-too-famous movie titled Sunshine Cleaning.
At cine. On some weekdays afternoon. The perks of dating a real estate agent heh.

I wasn't so sure about this Spidey reboot as I felt the first installment was too Twilighty to my liking.
The only positive is Emma Stone, which was a HUGE improvement from Mary Jane.
But this second installment, I must admit, did well in terms of the chemistry between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. I guess it does make a difference when you are acting opposite your real life girlfriend.

The villains didn't impress. The plot was decent.
But the love story was enjoyable. And heartbreaking.
Love those moments where Gwen asked Peter out after their break up.
The ground rules moment. The "I only follow you once or sometimes twice every day" part.
Their every gestures were perfectly expressing their sweet bitter feeling.

"Surely we both know we would rather cease breathing than to be just friends for the rest of our lives".

So it was an 'Aerith' moment then when  Gwen faded away in Peter's arms.
That was like.. damn it!

Despite her late father's last words.
Despite every warnings that came her way.
She chose love. And what could be a better way to live?

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...

journal: a little update

wow I am actually back to this blog. between Apr 27 2018 and now.. what has happened? I officially proposed to my girlfriend (wah.. trust me you gonna miss that word), got married, and.. became a dad. yeah.. all in a matter of less than 2 years. now when you consider the fact that in 2015 I would not have the slightest idea how things would turn out, it just goes to show how life changes in a blink. How is married life? Well.. I am one of those who has pretty pragmatic view when it comes to marriage. I have seen enough to know that relationship is messy. So.. I must say marriage has been way way better than my expectation hah.. For example.. I knew that my wife is a smart woman. I knew some of her shortcoming too.. (and there are some I didn't know till we got married, of course) BUT... here's the big bonus. I didn't know she can be that adorably funny in her own way. Not funny like a standup comedian funny but.. you know.. she makes me laugh. Trust me....
