I met him at Harbourfront MRT Station. We had a discussion on how to buy the tickets. Whether he should be using his student card or I should be using my DBS credit card. In the end, the ticketing person told us that because it was a public hols' eve, that his student card doesn't apply. But if he had a SAFRA card, we would get a discount that was better than using my DBS credit card. HAHA.
With the tickets in my pocket, we looked for lunch.
It's certainly looking like a good first date.
With about 20 minutes to the film, we looked for yogurt.
Some how, yogurt bars like this seem to be sprouting up everywhere.
Anyway, in the theatre, he met his juniors. The two girls were watching the film like a pair of love birds, with their heads on each other's shoulders. I found that weird. I had a what you may now call 'BFF' back in JC, but there was no physical contact. That'd be too... intimate.
Speaking of JC, the boy in the story was from TJC. Once again, I confirm that the TJC uniform looks like shite. In the flesh and on film. Sigh...
Apart from TJC, there are multiple points of connection with the film.
- It seems the lead actor are friends with my 20 year old date. Reminded me of the circuit when I was young(er).
- The East Coast beach is all-so-familiar. Reminded me of my childhood.
- And what's most significant, is the theme of Chinese students demonstrating in the 1950s.
The film is also accented with issues which our tiny pregnant society struggles with: E.g.
- Filial piety + Personal faith = baptising Ah Ma before she dies, and/or putting together a Buddhist funeral for Ah Gong, but not offering incense or participating in the rites.
每个人心中都有一个桃花源。
The concept of holding onto one's Utopia is immensely and incessantly romantic.
