everytime i hear the solanin song, everytime i replay the trailer, everytime i rewatch the epic last part of the movie, i get so overwhelmed with emotions.
i want to pick up an instrument, i want to play music, i want to be good at music, i want to form a band, i want a love so strong and so motivating like theirs, i want to travel to japan, i want to go there for exchange.
all this just from a movie <3
i think i may be a little bit too caught up in the movie and the after effects have yet to wear off HAHA.

i just finished solanin.
wow, what a great movie and i think its going to be one of my favourite movies.
a movie about love between two people, about friendship, about death, about being young, about daring to dream, about daring to take the risk and break out of the norm and ultimately daring to say goodbye to your old self and chase your dream.
and for this movie, the dream of the antagonist's boyfriend is to form a band to play music.
in a nutshell, the boyfriend passes away in an accident around 2/3 into the movie and the antagonist takes over his dream to play in a band and performs this song called solanin which the boyfriend wrote before he died.
but the whole movie is more than just the death, its about the growth of the antagonist, her boyfriend,their friends and band members through their youth as they struggle to balance mundane reality and their dreams and finding direction in their lives.
very touching, sweet and inspiring <3
really made me feel like doing something like this with my life HAHA.
a bonus for me is i really like japanese rock bands and their style of music (eg remioromen, asian kung fu generation) so i super love music in this movie.
and coincidentally, asian kung fu generation sang the solanin sound for the soundtrack (:
now looking back at the trailer after i watched the movie, i realised the trailer was really awesome!
chose all the damn suitable scenes, and love love love love the solanin song <3
lyrics:
Mistaken thoughts from beyond the sky
A life spent saying goodbye?
The little piece of the future I saw
Was waving goodbye
The small room i once lived in
Is now occupied by someone else
The horrible things I said to you
The days that were wasted
Perhaps if I'd taken that chance,
if I could go back to that day
But I'll never be that person again
Even if that frail happiness
had somehow lingered on
A bad seed would have surely sprouted
So, I guess this is goodbye
The cold cans of coffee from freezing winters
That long rainbow coloured scarf
I stroll through the back alley
It all comes back to me now
Even if that frail happiness
had somehow lingered on
A bad seed would have surely sprouted
So, I guess this is goodbye
I guess
Goodbye, that's enough
You can cope anywhere
Goodbye, I'll manage somehow without you
Goodbye, that's what I'll do
its a farewell song to your past self <3
cant find a video of the performance scene during the movie with the lyrics and all, that was epic!
AND I CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT HAHAHHA
its a freaking good song with awesome lyrics, what more can you ask for!
plus, i really like the acting of the lead actor kengo kora and lead actress aoi miyazaki <3
ok wow its 5.19pm
TALK ABOUT NOT DOING WORK HAHAHAHA.

what a waste i could have been your lover.
what a waste i could have been your friend.
love belle and sebastian's new song 'little lou, ugly jack, prophet john' featuring norah jones.
love and friendship, two things that dont go together.
if you have one you have to give up the another.
i guess we can never have the best of both worlds.
but im well (:
and i hope you are too (:
today marks the end of mid term break.
HA, BREAK MY ASS MAN.
monday,
which was the only day where i could take things easy.
went back to school to get a little bit of studying done at the handball room.

then met my mum for dinner at west mall then went down to the driving centre to switch to school and book lessons and all zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
tuesday,
met kailing for lunch at city hall then we went to sing karaokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee with karen and cheyenne.

then went to meet michelle lai, lois and shun yee for dinner at marina square ministry of food yumz (:
proceeded to esplanade for desertttttttttt.
we went to that crazy chocolate place at esplanade, mac something lah cant remember the name HAHAHAHAHAHA.
the intense chocolate cake was damn delicious but the hot chocolate was like INSANE.
YOU WILL DIE IF YOU DRINK IT ALONE HAHAHAHA.

then went down to jeremy's house at dakota for mpw project meeting and to interview his mum!
old airport road was closed so no yummy lunch there :(
but had yummy tofu cheesecake at jeremy's place :D
OMG I LOVE TOFU AND IT WAS LIKE THE BEST CHEESECAKE EVERRRRRRRRRRR.
then off to ccab for training (:
late dinner/supper at xin wang at coro and it was back home with my new found fellow west sider!
turns out handball has another west sider who just stays at the condo opposite my block yay!
thursday,
went to school at 830 (FREAKING ASS TIRED) to meet cynthia to get some work done before our marketing meeting at 12.
then i had my second meeting, finance, and i dropped by the handball room for a few rounds of monodeal before going to the driving centre for theory lesson from 910 to 1050.

i thought theory lesson sure super boring HAHAHA.

then off to jurong point for a few rounds of monodeal at mos burger before going home (:
sunday,
SLEPT 11 HOURS <3
watching solanin!
its a japanese movie about youth and following your dreams, which in this movie is about music.
i realised its a common theme in japanese movies.
perhaps japan is quite a repressed society and its common amongst youth to feel lost and following societal norm up till a sort of sudden revelation about their dreams and hopes.
but anyhow, i love watching japanese movies (:
its the type of calm and peaceful style of cinematography and they like to have shots of the sky HAHAHAHA.
alright back to the movie then ive got finance and mpw to do (:
i realised im so not an opinionated person :(
what a waste i could have been your friend.
love belle and sebastian's new song 'little lou, ugly jack, prophet john' featuring norah jones.
