Caught a movie in the midweek after being so bored and restless for the past two days. I was phyiscally unwell due to the coughings and flu
12 Lotus is quite an artistic Singapore movie I've ever seen, but however, the story falls flat in the middle and never gets up, much like how the main leading actress. 12 Lotus tells the story of a girl, living a hard life of betrayal; be it by her father or the men who claimed to love her. Her story was told through the 12 chapters of the title song. The songs are nice and enjoyable for anyone who has a fetish for musicals. I happened to like the idea of this particular storytelling, and how everything link together, but surely a better story can be crafted out rather than leaving everything so vague and amateur, leaving me with question marks at the end of the show.
Discussed with a friend and I think I kinda grasped the idea of what the director wanted to portray. Anyway, for those who's a fan of Stefaine Sun, be there on time!
Afterwhich, we planned our route carefully and went for shopping! Window shopping to be exact; looking for another pair of sneakers. I decided to leave my red nikeys alone because I wanna keep it! It's limited! I'm a fan of sneakers but it's way too dear for me to adopt as a hobby. Hence, I satisfy my cravings via the Net; eyes satisfications will do. hahah. I wanted to get many many things too but I've got a budget constraint =(
Then, it's off to dinner as our last stop was at Far East. Budget dinner wasnt really that budget at Sakura Cuisine. hahah. I think the last time I was there was probably four years ago, with JuZone because we skipped the boring orientation together and wanted to have some fun. Nevertheless, I had a wonderFULL dinner despite the food being average
Lime Juice
Belachan Kang Kong
Hotplate black pepper beef
Chef's specialty - Salad You Tiao (Not really a must try)
Nothing beats the company I had on such a special day if you realised, 20082008. That only happens once in a lifetime. heh
Earlier on in the day, I brought my grandma to the doctor as her foot were swollen and painful yet again. Did the X-ray again too. However, the results were the same as the previous ones, showing signs of osteopenia (thinning of bones) because of ageing. The bones on her left foot are soft which explained the pain when pressure is added.
Today's consultation was a better one compared to the previous two where the doctors totally had no idea what went wrong when questions were posted even though this doctor I seen today was quite dumbfolded too. hahah. Sheeesh. Anyway, my granny is being referred to SGH while still on endless medicaitions plus the foot medicine.
At times, when I see my granny sitting on the chair, nodding away, I feel for her. She looks so lonesome. It was heartrending and I felt awful totally. Sighhhh. When I actually feel that growing up is already a tedious and straining process because of many decision makings and being an adult which I totally loathe. From studying to working life so suddenly, to be true, I'm scared of the fears I've within myself. And because for the past two decades, I've been in a total comfort zone, taken everything for granted, without worrying for anything, which kinda explains how fearful, helpless and doubtful of myself.
Lest, I have got friends around. Yet somehow, although she has many children, I think she's forlorn with the unfrequent visits
Now, I realised ageing is also a fearful process because of what's happening around me. So how many stages of 'heart in the mouth' do we need to experience once in a lifetime?
