sechs und zwanzig, arghhhh

I'm still in denial of my age because... I don't know how I have spent my last 2 years!! They are certainly not in vain, but it flew by too fast and I don't remember even turning 24! Hahaha...

Someone, slap me!!

Anyhow, it was a quiet one with a few gifts... from sisters and friends. Some SMS surprises. But someone actually forgot my birthday (it's time to forget it soon anyway)!!! Mum gave me a red packet for the first time to get a cake, but I used it on brownies instead. I just wanted something simple and though a little belated.


Golden Village celebrated it with me, offering me a 1-for-1 movie during month of October. So lil sis and me went for Lust, Caution by Lee Ang. Starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Joan Chen, Lee-Hom Wang, Tang Wei... The story is based on 1942 Shanghai occupied by the Japanese. A group of Chinese students plot to kill a powerful collaborator (Tony Leung) with the Japanese, using a young woman (Tang Wei) as a lure.

At some points, it's pretty slow. And, Singapore as usual, was submitted a censored version, some 7-10mins shorter of the original film. OMG, all the sex scenes by Tony Leung gone! I like the plot though... ending was... ermmm... Should women choose love and lust over loyalty and friends?? Why are women always more emotionally messed up??? Is that what the story is telling me - I wonder?

Catch the part Tony Leung ran the short marathon and flew right into his car... amazing!

Rating: 3.5/5 (would be giving 4 if it's the original uncensored version;))
