my ambivalent attitude

Wednesday, September 13, 2006

It had been a long while since I last caught a movie. After a draining driving session yesterday, I felt the itch more vividly than ever and thus walked lightheartedly into the theater showing "Singapore Dreaming" - a film touted to reflect sharply the problems encountered in life by typical Singaporeans, living up to expectations and financial crisis among others. Not that I regretted fishing out that 7 bucks for the movie, but it made me all melancholic and gloomy afterwards and set me thinking about how harsh reality is and how some of the illustrated issues might indeed affect me in a few years' time. Well, who dares foresee accurately what the future holds for us anyway? Even though there were some momentous outbreak of laughter among the audience at certain points in the movie, I only managed a superficial smile on my face. It's so much harder to be happy truthfully these days. Sigh!
