Love, Rosie

And so I caught this show a while back.

I was slightly disappointed.

There was a redeeming scene in the movie which the book never mentioned.

I, however, was soooo disappointed that the whole movie NEVER mentioned about the silence, apart from once, only in passing.

No, I mean, seriously? The silence is such a big aspect of Alex's and Rosie's love life. It was also the silence that brought Toby and Katie together.
How on earth can they not talk about it?!

I was so sad that was literally the first thing I talked about when I left the theatre. The other scenes were sooooo irrelevant to me.

Why oh why, what a terrible thing to do to me.
And where is Randy Andy? HAHAHA that guy was a joke.

But I really liked the part where Alex told Rosie she was perfect for him (well kinda hinted), and it was because he thought he didn't have a chance with her, that he went on from one girl to another, trying to find someone who would at least match up with her, but none has ever been able to meet up to what she is. It was quite a silly place to do it though, at his wedding with Bethany, but it is just so typical of the two of them - doing the right things at the wrong times.

Please don't let If you could see me now suffer the same fate. Please capitalise on the last scene, when Elizabeth paints that room, what the room looks like, and her smile. Please show Opal's love story. Is that film even coming out? I've been waiting for years now. It's taking forever. In fact, how can Love, Rosie be out before If you could see me now. The talks about If you could see me now being made into a movie was so much earlier!

The Year of 2015

It was beautiful.

When clock struck 12 on New Year's day, the fireworks went off one after another, again and again for almost 5 minutes. It was so close. It is the closest I have ever been to fireworks, and I think it's the closest I would ever be.

Singapore sure knows how to throw a party.

And that is one short snippet of the really long fireworks show (not that I am complaining).

I realised that I have really grown up then.
Gone were the days where I go crazy looking forward to countdowns and having fun with my friends.
But maybe I already grew out from these a long time ago. Well.
I actually envisioned myself sitting on the couch watching fireworks and sipping wine (not literally though, i'm not that big a fan of wine). But my point is, I rather spend it quietly with the one I love. This year, we went to Melv's place cos his mom feels a little down. I'm really glad we didn't go out and just stayed in the end, because I wouldn't have been able to see such an awesome fireworks show if we went out.

And with all new years come new changes.
I want changes this year, I really do.
And I'm talking about all aspects of my life.
Can you believe I've never sat down and thought about my New Year Resolutions?
For a thinker who likes to think, I sure didn't think much.
But I resolved to do that this year! (haha I think I'm funny; resolving to do resolution)
  • Health
    • Exercising at least twice a week
    • Eating Healthier - more fruits and vegetables and more home cooked healthy meals
  • Wealth
    • Take up the 52 Weeks Challenge (in my own manner)
  • Social and Family Life
    • Cooking at least 2 meals a month for my family 
    • Volunteering for something 
    • Being more involved emotionally
  • Self
    • Going back to reading - a book a month doesn't sound too difficult yes?
    • Finish Taylor's Gift 
    • Spend a day a month to clear the clutter - literally a whole day
    • Knowing more about Him.
And I'm going to do it! 
Let's go!

Thought of the day

Because sometimes you realise that you two aren't together because you two were never meant to be.
