那些年, 我们一起追的女孩 (You Are the Apple of My Eye)
quite nice, but like all the other love stories, i like happy endings.
this one isn't sad, just that the leading actor and actress weren't together at the end...
and the leading actress' husband is quite a wood block and kind of different from the leading actor.
but it was quite good at the end, brings back lots of memories, be it good or bad.
though the story is based in taiwan instead of singapore, the setting is somewhat familiar.
kind of secondary school like.
secondary school days were the happiest period so far, i wish the time stops there and then, where we all don't have to grow up and progress.
we know it's impossible but we still hope that way.
my secondary school teacher was right.
that period will be the most memorable period of our lives (not all, but i am sure most of us really want to go back to those days, i am no exception)
想当年...
you-like-me-and-i-like-you, "_____ is my stead", "let's go town after class", making fun of classmates' names, chiong tys together, hiding our textbooks in between ring files in the metal cabinet, being studious and doing well in exams with minimal efforts.
oh well, miss those days.
we could always have gatherings every now and then, and our topics will always begin with "what are you doing now?" and we'd always end with "let's meet up again real soon!"
and we'll fill up the spaces in between with secondary school memories.
how we teased the guy who looked really weird (of course he wasn't at the gathering), how we giggled during sex education (different sessions for different gender), our teachers' bad habits (we caught some digging gold, when she thought no one was looking. hahaha), some history teachers' lacy daisy (or sunflower or dont know what kind of flower) b-r-a, etc.
but gatherings just don't feel like they are the same as before.
there is always this tinge of awkwardness and uneasiness.
perhaps we're all grown ups now, we can't do things without thinking it through.
or maybe because we haven't met for such a long time, it seems really weird to act as though we are close?
or is it just me? i am the only one who's feeling awkward?
no idea.
but anyways, it was fun, real pure fun and we had almost no troubles at all.
only trouble was relationship...
when some really compatible couple breaks up and become the talk of the school.
when someone you have a crush on is your best friend's stead (sigh).
when you like him, he likes her, she likes other guy (more than a triangle)....
affairs like these, really is a problem to students like us in those days.
i cant believe i've written so much, in summary, that movie brought up quite alot of memories.
i shouldn't be thinking so much hahahaah.
there are happy times, sad times, regrets, should-have(s), what-if(s).
but i didn't regret doing what i did when i was youngER, studying hard, having no life, etc.
and speaking of youngER, birthday's round the corner, and 1 yr older.
not much of an impact yet, can't be sure of how getting a yr older will hit me in yrs to come though.
oh last thing.
dad brought up something during breakfast.
he said "如果人不用吃饭，我们要钱来做什么？"
wah, chim. i don't know why he suddenly asked me that, when i asked him “油条好吃吗？”
lol. no link.
but great question.
imagine human really no need to eat...
then there is no need for money.
so no need to work.
our world have nothing. no cars, no shops, nothing.
cos we have no money since we are not working, cos we don't have to eat.
then means the moment we come to this world, we are basically waiting to leave this world.
wah scary.
alright enough of my nonsense.
to conclude, i think i must get something done.. keep myself busy so i wont think so much. hahah
kkthanksbye!
:)
