india bound - 24/3 to 7/4

am currently in no mood to psuedo-philosophise, muse or even bitch for that matter. am unsettled, fidgety, jumpy, in a hell's-gonna-dawn-on-me-so-i-better-make-a-mad-final-dash-for-everything-remotely-comforting kinda way. and so i probably took 40 extra whiffs of my super stinky bolster, ate chicken chop with lemon sauce, then subscribed to mobtv and watched 5 episodes of 一房半厅一水缸 at one go. all that culminating in me winding up in front of the computer screen, madly resisting the urge to once again lash out on the atrocity of them transporting me to the 39-degree-celcius land of the elephants just to do live firing.

a visit to taj mahal is neither consolation nor compensation enough. an sq flight with juno and august rush screening onboard is, though.




提到一房半厅一水缸,真的好久没有一部剧集让我如此穷追不舍了。
没有煽情,没有矫情,没有公式化三角恋,没有家破人亡,财富纠葛,伦理纠纷。。。终于。
虽然还是吵吵闹闹得可以,但由市井小民生活际遇延发出来的趣事,显得更草根,更真情流露。虽然大剌剌,但毫不遮掩的坦然,才是让人会心一笑的关键。
受够了充斥着压抑,仇恨,倾轧的故事的观众,应该会对此剧产生共鸣吧。
虽然得很肤浅地说,江承熹的两片厚唇我还真有点看不下去,但有李茵珠饰演的自动嫂和莫小玲饰演的玛丽力挽狂澜,就完完全全值回票价。(mobtv subscription: $33)爆笑次数不胜枚举。
无聊时想想,这是很CCC层面的幽默式。举止不羁,大摇大摆,言谈句句蕴藏很草根,很不高级的爆点。但还是带有一点点不能免俗的温暖你心房的丝丝情意。
再无聊时想想:林诗韵饰演自动嫂, 林欣怡饰演秀珍,莫文洁饰演秀明,严康婷饰演千千。OMG. 量身订作,天衣无缝。哈哈哈。
总而言之这部剧集真的很好看。从印度活着回来后一定狂下载。

sorry, i think i kinda mused.

both vantage point and grace is gone were awesome - the former made utterly riveting by rapid-fire, stylistic editing and rewinds, and the latter, so subtly powerful and profoundly moving it made more than a few members of the audience weep. i'm glad i'm leaving singapore in a well-fed and nourished kind of emotional state, never mind that it takes approximately seven seconds of the orgasmic outfields to erode what two powerful films painstakingly built up.

i gotta go. await my return!
