赞!



割爱。The first time I stumbled upon this term is when I was listening to Angela’s song 不想懂得. Should me memory not fail me, I actually consulted my friend from China regarding the meaning of this term. Sadly, I can’t recall what she said exactly; hence I decided to goggle this term. It actually means 放弃心爱的东西. Hmmm, I actually thought it would have a more ‘impactful’ definition to it, oh well, this will do.

How would I rate this movie? To be honest, all I expected from this movie is to be able to address on the issues of breast cancer and maybe give me some insight into the life of a breast cancer patient. I thought that this movie would have little or no impact on me since I have always been through talks given by patients with terminal illnesses. What can this movie do to me? I am sure I have heard more touching stories DIRECTLY from patients. I was so damn wrong.

Amazingly, I was able to relate to this movie from the start to the end. It portrays exactly the phases of life we human go through. Due to my inadequate vocabulary and limited expression, I can’t explain exactly how impactful this movie is to me. One thing is for sure, I shed tears. Not once, but twice. It just seems so close to the heart, sadly I can’t explain why. I can definitely relate to it much better than After Shock. Could it be that Zoe Tay actually reminds me of my aunt that passed away a few years ago? Could it be that I am afraid that I would be in the shoes of those children since the signs of aging are so apparent in both of my parents? When was the last time we told the person we love ‘I love you?’? Corny? (shrugs)

Excellent song....
