The Girl in Pinafore

Had my first paper yesterday and it was bad. Basically because there were too many things to memorise and I obviously didn't have the brain to do that. I don't know why my course had to be so cruel and give us tons of projects followed by tons of tests. Nevertheless, what's over is over. Now I just can't wait for 19th August ☺

Had dinner at SocialHaus with Evonne afterwards. It's been a really long time since I last went out with her...yep with all the projects and whatnots, everyone's busy with their own lives. But glad we still manage time to catch up with each other!! The food was not bad and the service was great! So was the ambiance and I'm sure it'd have been better if it was at night.

Left right after our dinner coz we were going to catch The Girl in Pinafore!! I loved the movie.


I am really not a patriotic person. But whenever August 9 arrives, I more or less would start to appreciate Singapore a little better. This movie helped me to remember a lot of things I knew from my childhood days. The Singapore oldies, the corded telephones, pagers.

I really loved all the settings in the movie, just the simple decoration of their rooms make everything very Singaporean styled. The way they spoke in a Singaporean slang. How they did not really censor out the vulgarities and whatnots. I loved it. I loved the songs, the casts and the plot.

It is unrealistic and realistic all at the same time. Unrealistic because how many people would actually give up studies to pursue their dreams in Singapore? Because education is so important here. Yet on the other side, you truly see people who did give up their studies. And these people are the ones who became successful. There were probably a load more people who did the same and it's just that, we don't know them.

The acting was superb. I love Julie Tan. Needless to say!! I think every Singaporean should watch it. Meaningful and yep, patriotic, but you know, Singapore is our home and we should really appreciate it more.

好像我们长大后 成熟后 就不再像从前一样 什么都能说 什么都能笑 可能大家各自都成家立业了 没有时间像以前那样随时出来见面 可能吧
这就是成长的代价
