So much things have happened since the last time I blogged, but I really can't be bothered to blog every precise detail. Went back to Starhub and left again. It had been an enjoyable 3 weeks. Made new friends, quarrelled with old ones but I'm glad I made up with him after that. Bowling and movie outings had been fun, ride home in Jeremy's car with Siti, Joanna, Anne and Shirley from the Cathay to Clementi then Admiralty then Toa Payoh and Chai Chee then finally to my place had been super tiring, but super high.
Did Andy Lau's concert, Fahrenheit's and now, got cheated into doing Hokkien Pop Night. All I can say is, I survived it. More importantly, I managed to tolerate the crowd today. Those aunties and uncles do the weirdest things. Especially when Jargon kinda stuck his hand into my vest pocket to pick and dump the ticket stubs for me while I was busy with tearing tickets, I wanted to just snap on the spot when a patron gave some crappy comment. Hello! It was my vest pocket, not breast pocket or pants pocket. Or worse, when patrons tear their own tickets, especially the wrong portions then expect me to throw it away for them. Wth.

Anyways, I watched Seven Pounds with JH today. I loooooove, love, love the movie. It had been extremely confusing at first because of the arty farty directing but when the truth comes to light, everything fits and makes sense. The movie is slow with little action but it allows me to get into the mood of the show and I just can't stop myself and ended up tearing up many times. The storyplot is so touching, I cried at least thrice in the last 15 minutes. JH was complaining to JY that his left sleeve was very wet. I have no idea why it is so. =X
People who haven't watched the movie and are planning to watch, you should not find out too much about the movie beforehand. I think the producer of the movie had not wanted to reveal much about the movie for good reason. Before I watched the movie, I knew absolutely nothing about it other than Will Smith being in it and it came from the producer of The Pursuit of Happyness. It may be very confusing at first but when it finally dawned on me what the show is about, I really appreciate the ambiguity in the start.
I love the title too. Out of curiosity, I went to google the meaning of the title. Taken from Shakespeare's idea in his book The Merchant of Venice, a pound of flesh is demanded for every debt one owes. I think Shakespeare is pretty warped in the mind. Anyways, I love the double meaning in the movie title because it is both metaphorical in the Shakespearian way, but also literal since Smith's character literally gave flesh (and a house) to pay his debts. Seven debts, seven pounds.
And I love Will Smith! He is so charming (and hot!) and his character in the movie is soooo sweet. His portrayal of his roles in various movies and the extent of the sacrifices his roles always make is just so touching. I love the arty fartyness of the whole movie, from its directing to the storyline and title, to the little details in the movie such as Will Smith's method of suicide and the considerate little note he wrote, the way he wants to sacrifice only for the good people etc.
All I can say is, go watch the show. I cried like, at least 7 times while watching Seven Pounds.
