how dare u miss our weekly thursday post.
well, blame blogger for not loading the 413758974957 photos we took!
anyway, it's been a long time, hiatus was good.
i needed sometime away from the blogosphere.
last week, me, sera and candy went ahead to catch leap years.
you know the one starring wong li-lin and ANANDA EVERINGHAM (please, spread him on a cracker.)
i read the reviews... two stars, three stars. not very favourable for a singapore produced film.
we watched it anyway.
anyone that knows me will say they have never seen me cry in the theatre over a show. maybe if we screened at home, i might shed some tears. i have an issue with crying in public though it is in the darkness of the cinema, i dread when the lights turn on and everyone will see my nose and know: this girl is a sentimental emotional basketcase.
but in leap years, i had to literally, control myself for sobbing.
sobbing! i had to hold my breath so i would not make those squeaky noises that girls make when they want a hug from a boyfriend after a fight.
the movie was, sort of good. I wouldn't say the best but it was good. what i loved about the movie was, (besides Ananda, come on, he was just a foot in the door) it was a romantic yet logical show. it made sense.
it made complete sense that these two people were so carelessly in love. it made sense that he would do that.
it made sense.
and that's why u feel, wow. this could be real. that could be me.
and though no one in the cinema could experience what the show was encompassing, everyone was touched. everyone was lost. everyone, including me.
the script, fantastic. the acting could be better - qi yiwu, cannot lah.
the cinematography, acceptable.
but the impact, indescribable.
when i left the cinema, i felt a sense of loss.
"people always ask you to find someone you can live with. i wanted someone i could not live without."
i thought about you. your face. your smell.
your laugh, your eyes.
your hands. i thought about how i've been living without you for these past 6months. i realised, i haven't been living. i've been breathing. not living.
if only there was a way to take it all back. i would.
because i know you, and only you, i can't live without.
