finally finally watched up. it was a really touching movie. so simple and straightforward but it contains so much truth in it.


and i'm really amazed at how JLYX can just ramble off after the movie ended about everything that he learnt and saw. and abt society abt the old man's feelings and all. seriously i was like thinking in my heart thats really something i cant do. lol! i always need to process, to think, and to put words into the feelings that i've felt. and thats why i kept quiet okay.. haha. not that i'm slow.




was reminded of some random blog that i read before, that when you are a child, your emotions and feelings, your moods, your ambitions, your wants and needs, get so amplified and loud in a sense. that everything is shown so clearly on the child's face or actions. and throughout the whole movie.. saw russell's innocence and sincerity through his moods and actions.

and sometimes.. dont you just envy a child? their world is still yet 'corrupted' and yet 'influenced'. so simple and so pure. every agenda and every intention is good from the bottom of his heart. and i think it speaks alot about most adults today. when we grow up, we allow different things all around to get us. and our insecurities start to act up. our confidence is challenged. etc etc. and sometimes you just need such innocence to remind you of this.



and also, about dreams. these few days had alot of input abt dreams stuff. esp after mayday's concert. lol. yep. and one thing that really got me. is that.. no matter how big or how ridiculous or how impossible your dream sounds.. how far will you actually go?

and even as we grow up.. those dreams that we dreamt when we were young. those dreams that are out of the world. dreams that were birthed forth by passion. where are they? do we still actively pursue it? or do we allow ourselves to sink into mediocrity?



and what jx blogged abt Up got me too.

when he said that in the movie i totally smiled. sometimes really.. it is the simplest of things that can bring such contentment and satisfaction. like for him, counting the cars while sitting on the curb. cute right?

yes we are made for greatness. yes we should aim high. yes we dream big. but no.. dont forget the simple things. dont forget the little things. those things that money truly cant buy. that even by counting cars, eating ice cream sitting on the curb.. it can be such a happy and fulfilling time spent. (and i guess its something that Voldemort wont understand as well. lol!)

and i think my future husband needs to enjoy doing 'boring' stuff too. cos i totally enjoy them. haha.





you know sometimes, a little kid can actually teach a grown up so much stuff. interesting huh?





kkkkk i should be zzzzzz-ing. gotta wake at 645am. :( going to school on teachers' day while everyone else is having holidays is the most sianest thing ever.
