Weekend

Had a very happy weekend, the fact of going back to work tomorrow not withstanding. Met up with Xin en and Nicole yesterday. Despite not having eaten together for nearly a year, there was so much to talk about over fried seafood and italian dessert. It is a wonder how we can be so completely at ease with each other. Time apart has not had much effect, and the lunch (that stretched till dinnertime) left me feeling slightly nostalgic. These moments make me feel alive, happy and human.

Today, watched royston tan's 881. It is a nostalgic show for my parents, since it has a getai setting and is full of old hokkien songs. For me, it is another movie that attempts to incorporate elements of musical and is strange in its artsy handling of a very heartland theme. I love it for the friendship between the two main characters, 木瓜姐妹, and the passion they have for what they do. How many people can love what they do, to the extent of going ahead despite obstacles and society's perceptions and giving up their family, love and even their lives? And how many can find someone who would whole-heartedly share the journey and be a mutual source of strength even in their weakest moments?

One of the main songs:<< 一人一半>>

演唱： 伍家辉
词： 小寒 曲： 范俊福

一人一半 感情不散
一人一素故 感情才会久

时光累积 安静的泪滴
一心去追 爱那么可贵

这样的人 这样地等
无非是 等个回应眼神
为爱反滚 不及伤痕
甘心为你一身都浮沉

这样的人 别笑我蠢
傻傻的 心痛也不觉疼
就算天冷 就算难残忍
等你想起这没用的人

一人一半 感情不散
已经找到爱 为何要离开

已经找到爱 为何要离开
