The Curious case of Benjamin Buttons

I watched this show recently.

The 3 hr long show, filled with peculiar plot involving peculiar personalities, made the oscar nominated movie, truly a fresh perspective to anybody who been through life and thinks that times only goes forward. Never backwards.

I dont really have the usual attitude to watching movies, esp when it isnt, horror, blockbuster, or filled with adrenaline rush.

But I just cant give this show a miss. "The story of an infant borned in his eighties, almost blind, almost deaf and on the verge of his death. "

But God had other plans for him, he grew up, in reverse order. We watched his life unfold. From an emciated old man, into much handsome and younger man, to teen, to toddler and finally back to a baby again. "REVERSE AGEING"

But we knew deep inside, although the clock on his appearance appears to be going backwards, the clock inside his body, is going forward. A teen well in his sixties? I think the storyline manages very well in creating the whole movie and setting the audiences mood.

I truly enjoyed the show despite being a 3 hr melo-drama. (and friends knew i totally hated drama)

Time is a funny thing. Some people chose to forget. Some people chose to move on. Some people never really left at all.

There were times when I felt like I was breaking down... bit by bit. there were times, when I felt I needed help. there were times, when I cried sitting on the bathroom floor with the sound of water pouring through the showerhead, diluting the tears I have in me.

Sometimes, I will appear to be the life annd soul of the party, or group. that humorous gesture or jokes that emit from me, makes this man a jolly good fellow.

Sometimes, I will be deep in tots, beating 1-2 redlights, but just in time to e-braked and realizing death is merely inches away from me. Heart pounding. Eyes dilated to the size of saucer-pans.

Sometimes, I will fall asleep @ 12mn, and woke up @ 3am, pottering around the house. just wanting to get tired and fall asleep again.

Does depression comes and goes? Sub-consciously, is my body going against my will? I duno. I never knew. Infact, in this whole life of mine, I tried to knew many things. but things... I will never knew.. matters the most to me. Funny when i said that.

then anyway, its just random tots I have in my mind, I just let it out on words, and hopefully this period will end soon...

On a slightly happier note:
I won some money on all the days on Chinese New year. I bought myself some items which I would normally buy if i have the extra cash. Yesterday, I bought myself a nice looking pair of croc shoes without flinching about the price.

I usually look @ the pricetag, take a brief look at the item, and put them back where they belong. but its different this time, thus I knew, maybe I won, quite some money.

Today is my last day of the gambling season, before setting back into the workaholic mood for work. Looking to my fat bonus in April 09. Plan to travel abit, before coming back to work. hOpefully it work out.

I have a vietnamese enggr coming to my company, from the sister company in vietnam. His name is Ho Duc Minyh. Learning the trade i am in. I took him in, but he's too soft spoken for my understanding.

I told him the first thing you should understand when working in shipyards.
"IS NEVER BE INTIMIDATED BY PEOPLE WHO HAD A LOUDER VOICE THAN U"
He's a uni student, my foremen and Eric thinks he's too 'soft' for the hard work in shipyards. perhaps so, but we'll see.

Anyway, its the end of my blog again, I wanna share with you people a nice song, milk introduced to me. I found it on youtube, hope you people enjoy the song, esp the lyrics. Meaningful last lines. and oh, the piano rendition.



Adious.
