"We were meant to lose the people we love;
how else would we know how important they were to us?"
–The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


time;
i don't really want to summarize what i learnt from the movie.
to me, the movie was very personal, very intimate, very beautiful.
and i don't want to sum it all up in just a few words.
i want to live with what it can teach me everyday.

went to catch Benjamin Button with lam. it is really such a unique and original storyline man. and well i was talking to her, and thinking what did i bring back from the movie. cos i dont believe that there isnt a message or a belief that i can learn from. and i thought lam's "i want to live with what it can teach me everyday" pretty much sums up everything. haha.

for the whole evening i was kinda troubled cos i just cant really get it. but yeah i guess thats like the whole point. time is so complicated and yet simple as well. the mysteries of life. :)




and well jiaxin, sorry i was so busy that i didnt reply your msg. you werent horrible and quiet la hello. in fact its one of the few times you spoke so much lor. and yes, i thought that the "i was myself" thing is so true. haha. its really such a cool thing to be ourselves in front of each other.

and i have to say, its really been such a joy seeing you grow so much from last time. remember how closed up you were, and so unwilling to share because you dont want to trouble your friends. and look how far you've gone man. now you just shoot anything out. haha. and i'm so glad to be able to witness such a change.

and most importantly, seeing how you've grown in God. from such a pessimistic jiaxin, into one who bravely went for baptism, shared testimony in front of people, took such a big step of faith out into the unknown, and really took responsibility over your life and see positive change. i'm really very proud of you you know. if i dig up those past letters, where you wrote SUPER pessimistic stuff, i think you'll be surprised yourself to see the change.

over the years, emotionally, i've seen such positive change in you. and it encourages me so so much you know. seeing how God works in your life, and how much you've grown to love Him, to depend on Him, and its a testimony of how God can change lives and impact lives. :)


and thanks for today as well. i really enjoyed the company too. i know you were secretly angry inside la huhhhh hahaha. and thanks for like listening to all my nonsense and all. and its SO SO funny for the first 10mins of the show we were still wondering if we were in the correct cinema. hahahaha.

to quote cally again, "since lam has got curls, nothing is impossible". hahaha. CLASSIC!


there you go, an entire blogpost dedicated to you and i know you LOVE IT. hahaha.

LOVE YOU LAM!
