Tuesday

Dear Orange,

Today is the last day of September! Reminds us of the song "Wake me up when Sepember Ends" by Green Day. I like the soothing rythm of this song, as well as the lyrics.

Well well, yesterday night watched Mama mia at cineleisure with Ross, Sheryl, Waner, Ying, lim, WQ,CK, Yuexi , Zifang and Edwin. Met some other nj ppl in the cinema also.

The movie THE MOVIE!! WAS SUPERB!!! I love the songs, their voices, the island they live on and most of all their life! Haha..the whole movie was humorous.

It began with this pair of mother and daughter living on an island isolated from the city. Then one day Sophie( e daughter) is getting married and she decided to use this opportunity to find out who her father is. After reading the diary her mother kept while she was pregnant with her, Sophie discovered that she has 3 possible fathers. Hence she sent wedding invitations to the three men, Sam, Bill and Henry using her mother's name.

Thus, these 3 men arrived at the island at the same time. And the day before Sophie's wedding, all 3 of them volunteered to give her a walk down the aisle on the wedding day, each thinking that they were her father, but none of them knew that the other 2 men also came to the island for the same purpose.

It was quite funny, a girl searching for her dad ends up in such a mess.

So it ended with Sophie's mother walking her down the aisle, BUT BUT, in the end her mother became the bride and Sophie went off with her boyfriend to explore the outside world.

And guess who's the father? Its SAM! And it was super sweet. At that time when Sam was with Donny(e mother), he was already engaged. So he went back, leaving Donny at the island. Later, he divorced and returned to the island in search of Donny, but heard that she has already went off with another man. And he waited 21 years! 21 years for Donny!! It was like a big happy reunion!=D

Okay, so so..my after thoughts..

I feel that the whole storyline is quite original. Its both hilarious and touching. And all the singing and dancing were very entertaining, especially the parts when Donny's 2 friends sang to liften up her mood=)

I wonder why these women have so much energy to dance and jump about and they behave totally like young girls! Perharps this is life in the countryside, people don't grow old so fast from stress .Unlike us city dwellers, it is our fate to lose our youth and vitality before the age of 40. How i wish i live in their island! They have crystal blue waters, pure,white sand, they swim whenever they want in the big sea, they climb onto roofs, they have attics, they live in wooden houses...

Oh man! They lead such happy and carefree lives. I like the part where all the women on the island put away their daily household chores to join Donny and her band, dancing and singing to the song "Dancing Queen" by abba. Judging by their wide satisfied smiles and their joyful jumps, I can sense their happiness. How i wish my neighbours and i can do that too!=P

Finally, i like the part where Donny helped Sophie dress up for the wedding. There is a scene where both of them were sitting together on an armchair and Donny was helping Sophie trim her toenails, perharps for the last time. And the proximity of the mother and daughter, their closeness is so heartwarming, i wanted to cry. How i wish i can be like them. But we urbanites don't express our love so explicitly. I love my parents but I have felt nothing so strong before. Sighs. Maybe I am more suited to be a farmer in the countryside. That way i'll be closer to nature, running through forests everyday, catching fishes, watering the crops, lying down on the wild grasses, gazing at the blue sky, picking little berries on my way home...

Hahah..that is a wild dream man! Its a fantasy!=D

Okay, so as to conclude, MAMA MIA ROCKS MY SOCKS!=D

Now back to reality, today i had PW meeting at KAP. Ate Mcgirdles for breakfast. Meeting was rather effective. We finished in 2hrs. Yays! We rawk!=) Then went beauty world buy red cloth for curtains. Then i went home first coz i was too tired.

And here i am! Looking forward to tmr=)

Okay i gtg Orange, don't miss me too much okay!=)

love, cJiaM
