I watched Brokeback Mountain yesterday afternoon with a friend at Marina Square. I managed to slip past the ticket attendant who didn't really check if I really was above 21 years old.
The movie was intriguing and thought-provoking. While the movie largely focused on the theme of homosexuality, yet it spoke more of finding out one's true identity and personality albeit the social stigmatisation and prejudicial. The movie was tastefully done and portrayed very little on physical intimacy. Incidentally, this also happens to be the first movie I have watched this year.
Later, we ate Ben & Jerry's at Suntec. I had chocolate fudge brownie, strawberry and mango lime. I love chocolates. Not that it is an aphrodisiac but it's the warm fuzzy feeling I get from eating chocolate. It's that feeling that makes you go hmmph and make your day. Mango lime was more lime than mango but it was still great especially since I like sourish stuff too. Can't wait to try the many more flavours there...hee...
PBH starts this week. I hope that PBH this round will be more organised and would be kept to its tight schedule. I do hope that the commanders can put aside all the fuss about aesthetics and attempting to please the Chief of Armour and get down to serious work pronto. I do not wish to book out on Friday night at 9.45pm like the last time.
My mum asked me a very weird question today.
Mum: "Zai (son in Cantonese) ah, how old are you this year?"
Me: Huh?
Mum: "Wait..you are 20 this year right?"
Me: "Still 19..."
Sis: "But don't act like one..." [snickering laughter follows]
Mum: "I thought you are still 16 or 17. I am always telling my colleagues that I have a son who is 16-17 years old. I didn't know you are already 19. Oh no!"
[More snickering laughter follows in the background]
During lunch after church, my sister was talking about how she was really 17 years old and acting her age while I though am 19 going on 20 this year but still am not really to a very large extend acting my age. My mum however was saying about the benefits of looking younger than your age and that I should be thankful for it.
Women.
I had a very lovely conversation with someone today. Yup, you know who you are. You melted my heart and made my eyes tear a little bit. I was really touched by the words you said.
I cried in church today. I felt touched and blessed by today's message especially by Matthew 6:33 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." As I was singing the chorus to This Kingdom, tears just rolled down my face. God spoke to me today.
Thank you. Thank you for the words of comfort. Thank you for shining light at the end of every tunnel and giving me even more hope each time. Thank you, God.
