Just finished watching The White Countess. It received pitiful reviews. But I found it a brilliantly stitched together film, with the best pedigree cast of Redgraves one could ever get. (Vanessa Redgrave, Lynne Redgrave, Natasha Richardson) The changes in tone and emotion slowly creeps up on one as one is subsumed into the slow meandering but captivating flow of the film. I also very much appreciated the reality of the time and place that the filmmakers took care to portray. The details in the fashion of the time; the tasteful distinction between the glamour and the poverty; the reality of the japanese invasion. Not a film for the 'modern hearted'.

When people die, there are 5 main regrets that commonly come up:
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. -Nope, I always live a life true to myself. My parents have always given me immense autonomy and emphasized on my making my own decisions for myself, based on what I want.
2. I wish I didn't work so hard. -Nope, I probably need to work harder.
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings. -Suppress my feelings to keep peace with others? Maybe, but only when things aren't really of much importance. Otherwise, I'm good too!
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. -Nope, I always make sure my dear friends stay in touch with me :)
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier. -Nope, I'm a very happy and optimistic person :D
Hence, if I were to die today, my only regret would be...nothing much actually! Not going to church?

I remember feeling absolutely miserable when I first started law school a year ago. Everything was so foreign from what I was used to and was good at. Then, I was genuinely convinced that this course was the wrong choice for me and wishing desperately that I had somehow applied into med school somewhere. But as the weeks went on, I grew to enjoy what I was doing. I looked forward to classes and was genuinely interested in my work. I wasn't good at it like I was good in my sciences, but I didn't suck too badly at it either. So life was good... UNTIL NOW Property low property law Why must you plague me so? I know understand why you were the bane of law students since your birth You bring so much pain and misery to everyone And you are making me hate law once again I absolutely can't wait till you're out of my life!

you would like to see a more intelligent opposition? singapore only has so many people, where do you find so much talent and intelligence from?
to help the elderly pay for therapy sessions and medical bills, china is distributing 100-200rmb vouchers. that amount pay for what!?!? food for the week?
it'd be nice to see a non-sleazy joo chiat.

I used to love watching this girl (Caroline Zhang) when she was a kid, because she really sparkled. She reminded me of Michelle Kwan. She lost it for a while, but now, the sparkle is back, though it can only be seen in the second half of this programme.
