Iris by Judi Dench and Kate Winslate

I sobbed like a baby. When was the last thing I teared so bad watching a movie? I cannot remember. This show is heart wrenching. If you have been going on like a frantic rat on a treadmill, this is just the antidote to stop you on your track and get you straighten up again.

It is a story about the 40 years of romance John had with a most brilliant English novelist, Dame Iris Murdoch. She was a highly spirited individual, passionate and spontaneous about life. She twirled many a men round her fingers. John who eventually won her over was not as spectacular a figure as Iris was. He was not larger than life, just a typical scholar character but who has many loving and gentle ways about him that will grow on you as you watched the movie developed. His charm is of a more subtle sort.

Then the unthinkable happened. Iris started to have difficulty in remember words and in writing. It turns out that her mind was slowly but surely being ravaged by the devastating efforts of Alzheimer. The prolific genius was reduced one totally incapable of speech.

John continued to adore Iris and care for her in the best way that he could. But he himself was not getting young either and have his own getting old symptoms to deal with. The heart just feel deep tugs of pain when I see how both struggled with their own and each other issues. They stayed together. They sticked together. Irregardless.

Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant.

Please do yourself a favor and watch this story. It reminded me of what is most important at the end of the day. At the end of my life. Not exactly all my fantastical achievements. It is really who is nearest and dearest to you.

Enjoy your life and your memories.

Black on Flight

I love this picture I saw on Singapore Tatler Nov 2008. As far as I’m concerned, it’s the most gorgeous thing on this issue.

The staircase is so exquisite. And she is the most ideal live partner for it too with her looks and her attire. I love the way the spirals of the staircase seems to be in sync with the curls on her sexy hair. Her skin color is a flattering contrast from the black and blends with the bronze.

Love Program

Simply put, I struggle from the depths of my soul to tear my eyes away from this alluring view.

Does it have damage you the same way too?

Ramblings from a Shakespeare Wannabe

Joy in Macau

Hello people!

How bizarre it feels to be writing again. Felt like an ancient time ago since I cracked my brain to string words together to form sentences. Hoping that it will make sense at the end of the day and could perhaps enlighten you or at least amuse you…

Love Program

Yes, the beautiful babe or for a few of you (thank you for the hate mails) the sleazy girl is back! Oh well, let the one who sin not cast the first stone (please mis-aim hor, thank you ah..) *)

Love Program

Several painful months spent orientating my way through being a student again. And worse, of all options, trying to be a literary student (you think you bery sophicated izzit??!!!). It was after much hesitation (my very pathetic exposure to literature but impossible attraction to it) that I decided to just take a deep breath and plunge into the dark gloomy waters.

Love Program

It was a glorious time with my nose getting lost among the books written by genius writers from the past (hell time getting hold of these books in Singapore!). Quite a honor really. To have the opportunity to read all these great works. How better to suffer (popular concept: you ah, must suffer lah, or else how to get your degree? No pain no gain you understand girl?!) for my education than to drown myself reading.

Love Program

Having said all that, let me assure you I spend days on end or at least llloooonnnggg moments walking around looking rather dazed and in a world of my own (Hello, Planet Earth calling Joy). I started taking naps too. There is this theory that it’s because the brain needs you to zzzzz so that it can do OT (overtime) to process all information being dumped at it at a rapid rate (I like this theory by the way. Haha). Do you think it’s true?

Love Program

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the reading list. I devoured it like a hungry monster. I was more famished for new knowledge (sucker for intellectual stimulation lah) than I had anticipated. However, of course, like everything else in life, there is ALWAYS a downside.

Love Program

One of the most blatant one is I became physically lazy! Long hours of sitting still (trust me, it was so challenging for me to do so!) to read like a mad woman to finish my reading schedule for the day had made me as lazy as a pig.

Love Program

To be fair, I was also worried shitless that I could NEVER finish the reading list (I’m still only halfway through!) and whether I could survive the old English nightmare (Eh, what talk you ah?)

Love Program

Thankfully, now that I have gotten a little bit more used to cramping lots of “chiem” (profound) English into the brain (pet my brain, good job!) and being a little more convinced (perhaps, I can do this after all! oh yeah!), I have come back to meet with the rest of you.

Love Program

Sadly during my hibernation, the economy had a good time bungee jumping from the Westin Hotel (oh sorry hor, now call Fairmont Hotel). At the risk of getting beaten up by the diligent work force, I cannot resist the pleasure of declaring; no better time to go back to school!

Love Program

Another downside is that I have become very loooonnnng winded. In vain attempts to show off my new literary vocabulary (like real!) and to explore different ways of conveying the same meaning as I used to, my poor family and friends have suffered greatly at the hands of my reading list.

Love Program

Ho ho!

Conclusion?

Hey! I’m having a ball with my education but don’t worry,

I’M BACK TO HAUNT THE INTERNET SPACE.

Watch out!!!! ,)

ha ha!

Mums’ Secret Love Affair

mumsecretluvaffair

Read in detail at http://www.todayonline.com/articles/276344.asp

========= SensUal Joy =========

As a non-Mum, I was nevertheless intrigued by this article. Is favoritism among children a bad thing? What if it is a natural instinct you have as a mum to be drawn to one among the rest? Should you then deliberately suppress that extra dose of affection you have for the kid? Will it end up with a reverse effect on all the kids?

Love Program

I can appreciate how real this problem must be for some long suffering mothers out there. Indeed, I have never read of any article that addresses this issue. I can only imagine the guilt the mum must have for something if you truly examine it, really quite innocent and natural.

Love Program

A mum confided in me that she does not have favorites. But if pushed to make a choice, she will decide on the youngest. Simple reason, the youngest still explicitly and specifically ask for her! I guess as humans, we will easily be drawn to someone who yearn for us and desire our presence far more than someone who is rather independent and can do without too much of our help.

Love Program

Anyway, this is a fascinating piece of article that I just wanted to share with you.

What’s your take?

Pleasure Factory by Ekachai Uekrongtham

http://www.pleasurefactory-movie.com/

pleasure-factory

This is a hybrid of reality movie and art film to me. It has minimal dialogue and an unspectacular beginning. The movie does not intend to dazzle you with special effects or fanciful tricks. It is more like a “read my body language, feel my anguish” kinda show.

Love Program

There are three main parts.

Part 1, First being a young and jaded prostitute having sexual intercourse with a customer in his car.

Part 2, Second being the young and nervous cadet’s attempt to lose his virginity in the red light district.

Part 3, And third, the innocent but obedient child of a prostitute being forced to be a part of the bedroom scene by the mother’s customer and alongside with it, the mother’s silent anguish at the situation.

Love Program

In Part 1, I quickly realized that the actress was my friend, Jeszlene Devon Zhou. We have lost touch for a while but she has always been passionate about acting and I was pleased to see her dreams coming to fruition.

I feel the blow job scene when the customer was still driving was rather hysterical. In real life, wouldn’t that be a serious road hazard to other road drivers and to those inside the vehicle? The jaded prostitute in an interesting twist paid a good looking lad, a busker for a song that never happened in the end.

Love Program

In Part 2, the cadet was understandably torn apart about wanting to have sex for the first time without appearing to be too zealous about it. The classic young men’s rite of passage. And being impressionable and feeling vulnerable, he very quickly became amorous about the prostitute who made his mission a success.

Love Program

In Part 3, The young lady found a harmless stalker who was so intrigued with her that he waited outside the hotel room where she was forced to service her mother’s abusive customer. The ironic part was when he eventually ended up having a meal with the mother and daughter only to see a heart wrenching tear jerking scene between the two thanks to the young busker.

The common thread between the three scenes was the conclusion they all shared. Strangers finding solace in each other’s arms or the reconciliation of strained family relations. Plenty of smoking, melancholy thoughts, imagery of sexual acts real or revisited in the mind and jaded bravery in facing reality.

Love Program

It ended as mundanely as it had started. Still, there were a few moments of gem for me. It is a passable film if you can stand its almost monotonous pace. However, if you enjoy art films or movies where the greatest pleasures are derived from interpreting the nuances of every little details you will find this particular one a delight.

Enjoy.
