the leap years

This movie is PERFECT, only if 715 was removed. Or more like get another person to replace him. It was nice to hear people in local films speak proper english, some with the american or british accents, which i fancy. But that was destroyed when 715 appeared. Really..he should just stick to ch8 dramas, he really acts better in there. Though he portrayed his character in leap years rather well i must say, still..the essence of it is partially lost when he doesn't speak well in English. Or am i too picky? I even found him extra in 881, though he didn't utter a single word. I think i need to watch other films of his, such as Home Sung Stories, to see if i feel he's really cut out for movies or not.

On the whole, it's actually very romantic, though the 2 main leads met like at most...4 times? cos 3 leap years zoomed by...which adds up to 12 years! gosh... yea it may seem too unrealistic that they only met once every 4 years, but that's what makes it all so surreal and romantic! it's quite a touching story too...especially the letter read out at her wedding..and li lin's so pretty! allan wu's a lucky guy.. (he's shuai shuai shuai!) I'm also quite amazed that they still managed to capture scenes of singapore in 1996, 2000, 2004 and of cos, this year..it's a nice progression. From the older version of the SBS bus (147 to be exact) to the esplanade in the background. The only that supposedly stayed constant was the so-called windows cafe? I only know of Windows at Paragon, where the food costs a bomb! I think that windows cafe is somewhere near chinasquare, shall check it out if i'm in the cbd area for my all-time fav crispy chicken ramen.

anyway, just got back from my jog with april. we had ice-cream right after jogging! super sinful yet wonderfully yummy at the same time haha! and we kept going on and on about food..ikea and tanglin halt, here we come! =)

tomorrow i'll be gorging myself silly with marg at suki sushi! can't wait! haven't had buffets in quite a while..shall stuff myself with asian food before i set off for the US..

the next time i'll blog will be after i'm back from the dive trip..so till then!
