:: retrospective ::

boy did i slept late last night. after the prev entry, went to watch Arsenal vs Leeds. gunners won 5 - 0. at least something for me to cheer about. after which, around 4am. i didnt want to sleep early cos i know my mind will flooded with thoughts. so i went to watch dvd. chose Punch Drunk Love starring Adam Sandler and Emily Watson.

- sypnosis -

barry egan is a socially impaired owner of a novelty business, who is dominated by 7 sisters and is unlikely to find love unless it finds him. when a mysterious woman comes into his life, his emotions goes haywire, fluctuating between uncontrollable rage, lust and self-doubt.
"PUNCH DRUNK LOVE" leaves u addled, a little dizzy and overcome by a pleasing, unplaceable sensation...",
"a romantic comedy as wonderful as it is strange that expands the genre to its absurdist outer limits and makes us believe...",
from the writer/ director of boogie nights and magnolia, PUNCH DRUNK LOVE is a dark, lovely and unique film experience.

my comments, nice film, i am a sucker for quirky movies. camera work was good, kinda transporting u into the movie itself. the leads esp sandler was pretty convincing as a person with psychiological problems. pretty funny when hes in rage. emily watson was cool, that english accent. keke. she provides a perfect foil for sandler. well, the show was ard 90mins. by the time it ended, i was pretty bushed.
had to sleep.

meeting bin tmw to pass her her super belated bday present. nt bcos i "bo sim" jus that i missed her bday cos of overseas deployment, and when i came back, she was busy wif her assignments.even tho im oh so tired, my mind was stil swirling with thoughts. really hit me hard in a way. im usually nt that emotional. hee. ermm. well, dunno hw, but i stil slipped into sweet slumber.

woke up at 11am due to bin's msg abt arrangin the time to meet her. was stil in a daze really. yesterday was a blur to me. cant really differentiate reality and dream for a moment. well. maybe i guess i leave it that way. jus chuck it away to the back of my mind. escapist. but if u were me, perhaps thats the most wisest choice? haiz.

met up wif bin. went for lunch at county manna. 2nd time there for my entire life. keke. had a light meal. jus the pastry soup and a baked fish main course. she decided to skip her class and we went to catch Into The Mirror, the timing nt that ideal, so we ended up watching The Passion Of The Christ. had glimpses of it onboard ship. so the impact of the show didnt hit me that hard. recommended show, even though im kinda like a big atheist. well, after that, we went jalan jalan then had a light dinner @ kfc (notice the light meals, im like normally a big eater, ha) went back after that. she stil had to go back hm do her assignment. glad for her company. even tho' she dont know anything, yet.

so thats it. im coping well i guess. life still goes on.

c'est la vie mon cherie.

Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say 'Good night' till it be morrow.
