Saturday (1st Jan 2005)Felt miserable really… with running + blocked nose, itchy + sore throat, cough… How to see doctor today? Had to wait till Sunday morning... Anyway, for once, I really rested well on weekend (I usually don’t as I would be out somewhere doing something). How could I not rest well when there are only three basic activities which I could possibly do: Sleep, Eat and Watch television (lying down some more).
I watched the MTV concert at 1.30pm after taking porridge for brunch. After that, upon request from my mum, I let Sony (my TV) to take a little rest. So, I went into my room and switched on Sharp to watch “
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring” VCD. This movie was slightly slow but not boring, a relatively refreshing one with remarkable visual details and an exquisitely beautiful storyline that impressed me. I never really did bother to check the age restriction since I could watch any shows I wanted and no RA shows would be sold in decent shops. I only found out the classification only when I was watching it (with Ah Boy). I mean it was already showing liao… what do you think I should do. Making a fuss will not help – might as well let it occur naturally.
I think he was pretty matured in handling that scene (haha… when I told dad and mum that there was this scene during dinner… ah boy injected with something of this sort: “aiyah, the teacher already taught us this in school” – impressive huh…) Btw, there are only two scenes which are slightly more inappropriate for kids but other than that; the show is great for both the young and old. Btw, the whole show (M18) is in Korean but there it’s friendly with English and Chinese subtitles.
Anyway, we watched it again in the evening (as we couldn’t find anything nice to watch on TV) – this time with mum and dad. Mum kept commenting about how nice the landscapes were… and kept asking me how it would turn out and kept guessing the outcomes… (If I am watching a new movie, I had to watch it myself – as I don’t really like someone talking throughout the show… keke)
Mum liked the tiny Buddhist monastery that floated on a raft amidst a breath-taking landscape (and kept telling me that this is a real monastery –how would she know huh?) and the part where the adult Monk draged a millstone to the summit of a mountain overlooking the pond (she kept telling dad that this was why they saw so many “guanyin” on hilltops during their China travel trips)…
After that, mum said she wanted to watch news. So ah boy and I went into my room to watch “
The Terminal” (Tom Hanks’s acting is impressive and the whole show is pretty entertaining).
Sunday (2nd Jan 2005)
After I woke up, the first thing I did was to call the clinic to make an appointment. The funny thing is (not sure if you notice it yourself), I actually felt slightly better while waiting for my turn in the clinic. Perhaps something was acting subconsciously…
I felt drowsy for practically the whole day, ate little, slept a lot and watched “
Shark Tale” and “
Colour of Sound (地下铁)” in between naps.
