Hmmm... think I've changed. Izzi b'coz I've been working? Live as though I'm an adult with no life besides working... Or izzi the clique that I've been hanging out with...that we choose to live like that. Just feel adult recently... how I have to keep remind myself of responsibility being a worker, remember to save 'coz keep having to think abt money issues, hang out late nights, club and radio made me lurve musik more more more... accountable to my co-worker in my cell, thinking of whether I can accept a much more older guy (tt doesn't much matter now 'coz there ain't exactly anyone in mind).

Yah man... mind boggling stuff.

And I ain't even sure till now if I wanted resolutions. haiz. did make some wishes during the time of countdown...

Anyway, Broken Flowers. watched with pam. No regrets man! It had a surprise ending...as like most art films...but still, this one's blend in some hollywood factor into the show that din make it all artsy fartsy.

Wasn't planning to watch this at first, joy had asked whether wan to watch elizabethtown but I ain't impressed with the plot. and probably din wan to watch a love story... (maybe such shows are just meant for couples...) Yep...cineleisure timing wrong. so went lido... no memoirs of geisha... in her shoes or broken flowers? In her shoes. Okies let's go ask what's the show abt 1st... and you've guessed it. we watched broken flowers.

Must talk a bit about this... it was really nice...probably beacause of the ending... it struck. The show's about this old man who doesn't think of settling down but have had a few flings thoughout his life. One day some woman sent a letter in a pink envelope, telling him she had his son 20 yrs ago after the r/s ended. and was only letting her know 'coz her son was going on a roadtrip to look for his own father without any clues. Problem is...he, Don, doesn't know who this woman is 'coz the letter's typewritten and no reply address.
Personal thought: Couldn't believe this woman had been so noble to have raised his son and only willing to tell him b'coz the son's coming...

But this riddiculous man, riddiculous Don... who just had a woman, Cherie, left him...leads this SLOW, laid back life... which is so reflected by his house... the 70s furniture...the tv showing black and white drama, and oh the song he plays... slow jazz...lethargic musik. When the woman dumped him...he could only call," Cherie..." , then guess what? he went back slowly to the couch... laid down, held tightly to his cushion, slept.
Personal thought: slept?! after breakup? this guy's really bei4 dong4 lor! Why did the women even like him man?

Thank goodness for his friend, Winston, who was a private eye and just had came to use the internet to help him...When in the 1st place... lazy Don din even bother to want to list down the women he had a fling with before... craps... oh yah, there was this super hilarious part: Winston called Don, " So pal, you done with ya list?" Don," Who says I'm gonna do anything," "you coming over now?" Winston," Yeah...of course, see what ya come up with." Then Winston came in, and took the piece of paper he wrote down and continued talking on the cellphone when he went out," Oh yah...u did come up with a list... great and catch ya again, good night." and Don replied...
Personsal thought: crazy man...but really funny lar...

So they met again at a cafe to talk...I noted something...Don wears the same tracksuit just that it's always of a different colour. What's with him man? And Winston has a shirt with the word "Winston" sewn near the chest-pocket. He gave him add of the women and maps and a cd- mexican colours, saying," From Wintson- to Don" Don felt it was a riddiculous thing to do...and what if the son turns up at his house? Winston assured him he'll be there to take care of that...

So he went... There were 5 women...very interesting.
1) The slut...and her slutty daughter, who so wants to act sexy in her bathsuit and attract the old man...and oh yah...she has hair like a hammer! and wants to drink alot of wine to look appealing as a woman. The mum... husband died...slept with Don that night...and asked him to come back again sometime, which the dumb blonde daughter had to come out just in lingerie??
Gave her: Pink roses
Don's dumb question: do you have a typewriter?
Pink Stuff: her bathrobe

2) The high class tai-tai...beautiful house, dressed nicely... some designer with her husband but apparently still seemed to like him. Super neat family...could have the carrots, salmon and rice nicely placed on the plate. But din look happy. The picture her husband thought she looked cool or cute... to me: guess was the time when the guai girl had a fling with Don
Gave her: pink roses also...but i think this one was in full blossom?
Don's dumb question: do you guys have kids?
Pink stuff: her namecard

3)The animal communicator... supposed lawyer...now discovered her gift of communicating with animals, after her black dog, Winston! died...She looks independent, fine without Don. Don seems to miss this one a bit... wanted to ask abt her life and out for a drink but she's busy.
Gave her: Pink lilies
Don's dumb question: do u have a son?
Pink stuff: her pants?

4) The bitch... he got a long way lost before finding her... she looks punk and lives like in some dump...and when she saw him...was the only one who was so pissed and started all the f-ing... got mad when he asked her did we have a son...and the guys from the other house came over aggresively and asked what happened
Gave her: wild flowers
Don's dumb question: Did we have a son?
Pink stuff: the typewriter!!

5) The dead...died in a car accident. Before going to the grave, he met the young florist before that whom was called Sun Green? Interesting name...and she was pretty, caring and nursed his wounds, which he apparently made a joke out of it - oh, I ran into something...what was that? A fist.
Gave her: The most beautiful array of flowers

The ending: met this guy at the airport...seemed like was his boy. Went back to his house...felt lost 'coz it seemed like the same as before...no answer...but the white roses in his house had withered...now he was watching coloured cartoon on tv. Went to meet Winston at the same place...they wore the same stuff. Saw the supposed "son" outside... went to buy him food and chatted a while...similar interests in women. When he asked him is he like his father? the "son" just ran away... he chased after lar...standing in the middle of the road...the "son's" shadow disappeared into the end of the road.
Just then, a car drove past and a young reggae, punk guy looked out at Don. And the camera turned slowly one round.... then back to his face...and ENDED.

Sometimes in life...there ain't answers...even though it kinda seemed obvious it was the bitch that wrote the letter... still...u go in a cycle...and things have past you by... the black and white tv to colour, the withered flowers... and you're still the same...in the same clothes.

There should be more good movies like these.
