Sigh. Busy
busy busy week I'm afraid-these three days have left me sort of dopey with exhaustion, and
tired panda eyes. Not that I'm complaining, because I'm really running my homework schedule just so that I can finish assignments a few days early. And I'm sure in the long run, it helps.
Took a break today when I came home from school, from a meeting for the Grade 7s orientation camp. (Found out I was in the "Spirits" Com....ahhh! Maybe I'm not a very good choice-
my jokes are all incredibly lame. Hear that, Mr Ian Chai??!! =D) Watched A WALK TO REMEMBER on youtube. I've decided to emulate Jamie Sullivan, if I possibly can. And the way the love story develops, it is plain heart-rending.
There's this one particular part where Jamie is in the hospital after weakening, and Landon is reading to her, and suddenly she goes and sighs," You know what I figured out today?"Landon looks at her. I bet he was expecting her to say something else...Anyway, she gazes at him quietly and starts to talk about how she realized that perhaps God had a bigger plan for her than she did for herself. And she launches into how she felt that Landon was a god-sent gift to her, maybe because she was dying, and then, Jamie smiles her sweet laugh that she always has.And she says," You're my angel."At this point, I positively melted into jelly all over my floor.
It is indescribable to suggest anything more touching than young and true love-and I hope Landon realizes he's a really lucky guy! The ending of the show is bittersweet, but this makes it even more tear-jerking.
Well, before I start to sound like a movie-critic, I shall just put in one comment and finish off.
THIS MOVIE IS NOT MEANT TO BE MISSED.Then from gentle romances, I jumped straight into hard, driving homework duties...like trying desperately to switch my mind-track and complete a Chinese letter essay, while blocking out all the pretty and fond memories from the movie. (You know, after a movie finishes, the images still go on playing in your head for as long as they want to.)
Maybe next time, I'll try doing it the other way round: I'll sog off all the rotten essays first, then spend my time lazing on the sofa and watching movies that I like!
