i have not heard of this movie until today. together with closer and spanglish, it was in a 3-in-1 dvd set. i thought it was a rather simple plot, and perhaps it's this simplicity that caught my attention. i sat through the movie and i thought it was really good.
at the end of the movie, bobby long died. and i just felt this tightness in my chest. deaths, people dieing, people falling sick, people on hospital beds...all these make me feel really sad nowadays. it's the kind of sadness that suffocates you and makes you want to take deep breaths.
tuesdays with morrie didn't quite do me any good, did it? morrie said when u learn how to die, you learn how to live. i'd want to pick up the book and read it one more time but what i do is pick up a trashy-easy-to-read-no-brainer fiction.
this is going to be a working holiday. apart from the 4 days in macau/hk, i'm going to be seeing myself in school every working day. that's pathetic. somehow when i shut my eyes and let my mind wonder, i can feel the drift oozing out of the head, kind of like bringing me to still.
according to the horoscope experts at straits times, today is suppose to be a good day for me. i'm still around, so that has to be good, ya?
happy vesak day.

Hi,
I know what you mean about certain days.
My Dad just died last November: We had both read "Tuesdays with Morrie". I wish I could say things were easier now, but death is still difficult.
So, I have to ask: What is Vesak day? Will I learn the answer by reading your earlier posts?
thanks for your comment.
vesak day is a religious holiday here observed by the buddhists. i've left a little side note in my next post.
hv a good one!
