I had a great Friday at Orchard Cine with Jas, Rena, Michelle, and Cecilia. Taxi is a hilarious show. One of the better movies I caught this year. The leading lady is not the typical slim, blonde, white and sexy model. Instead, a plump, black, tom boyish taxi driver took the lime light. The sexy models were the robbers and this concept carries throughout the movie, proving that beauty is not the only thing in the world. For that, I love the producer. (But I bet nobody hates the 4 sexy female robbers. Even as a straight female, I enjoyed their appearence every now and then in the movie)Another thing that the movie proves is that not all cops have cafefully laid out thoughts. It's fun watching the taxi driver rolled her eyeballs everytime the policeman made a foolish mistake. My friends were laughing from the start of the movie to the end. Even The NGs at the end were hilarious. Nobody leaves the movie theatre. The $7.50 was well spent. So, catch it this weekend if you have the time.
We saw some baskers but it wasn't really what I had expected. I thought it will be a big parade but I only see a street painter, a "Mr Bean" alike and some cyclists. The Christmas decorations were not impressive and they used the same lightings along Taka as they did last year. The monotony only seeks to highlight that nothing has changed. It felt exactly what I felt a year ago and I seem not to heal completely. One yearhas passed and if all turns out within my expectations, nothing has been accomplished. It feels fast. Like what Cecilia questioned," from 10 years old to 20, it's a 10 year gap. from 20 years old to 30, it's also a 10 year gap. Why does time passes that fast in the later?"
I pondered and decided that dreams and aspirations begin to die and we are not left with much choices as we reach the age between 20-30s. Once working life is entered, time is stolen away. *shivers* I don't want to be old...
