12.43 pm. It read on the clock. I just woke up. My brunch was chicken rice and a cup of hot soothing tea. Woo hoo! Food!
Talking about food, my mother just told me about a report in the Chinese papers regarding the milk scandal, but this time around, not in China! Instead, it's in Malaysia! Apparently, the Taiwan authorities found out that Malaysian products such as a few biscuits and the Pizza powder that we love to sprinkle so much on our pizzas *yum*, which were en route to Taiwan's market, contain melamine as well as they might have used China's milk powder.
Oh man... And we thought that by not eating China made food products we will be safe? Now even Malaysian food is partially contaminated? I no longer know what we should eat. Avoid all food that contains milk? That would be like double the hard work of construction workers. Besides, the perimeter of the variety of food that we cannot eat will be triple wide! Then what is life without food? Everyday Jacobs Cream Crackers meh…. Or Quacker’s Oat ar? I know it’s healthy but I don’t want to live for that long.
Anyway, I just watched ‘Money No Enough 2’ last night on DVD. Remember the DVD I said I bought from 1 Borneo? The visual quality is not bad even though it’s ahem … pirated… HOWEVER, the subtitles were awful. Plain awful. There were a lot of Fujien dialect inside and the subtitles do not cover the Fujien conversations. Waa… you think I super genius meh…. Never learn Fujien before… Tiba-tiba watch then I suddenly know Fujien hor?
Half the time I was like “Ai…Cheated already. Should have bought ori.” Then when it comes to Mandarin, the English subtitle is two times more awful than when there are no subtitles for Fujien. The grammar, structure and everything of the sentences is not even close to the colloquial language that the pasar women use. It’s just like a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Yeah, just like that song. I mean, the subtitles were totally a turn off. It was like the worst piece of work that I’ve ever come across and it nearly corrupted my fragile mind. Luckily, I have a powerful firewall that can filter all the impurities and imperfection of the English language from penetrating into my mind. Ah~
Anyway, back to the movie. Well I have to say that it is a very touching movie, towards the end. The part when the old woman pulls off her tube just because she wants to save her granddaughter is just highly commendable. I salute the character. It’s just so sad when there were flash backs of the women the moment she died. She was eating on the toilet bowl and she had to move around her sons’ houses. Another touching part would be the part when she fainted when she got to know that she was actually sent to a nursing home. There was also this part where she put her money rolled together in a Jacobs Cream Cracker-look-alike can.
Singapore films are just nice. Although it might make you laugh at the beginning of the movie, most of the Singapore films that I have watched will always end with a meaningful message towards the end.
Movies apart, I think that if there are such sons in real life, I would really want to see how his children will treat him in the future. Beware of how we treat our parents as God will visit our inequities to the third and fourth generation. I may not be the best daughter to have. I have my times when I disagree with my parents and everything but I am sure that I will not abandon them to nursing homes in the future. I mean it. How can you send your parents to nursing homes when they have attended and cared for all your needs while you were young? Silliness. Where’s your conscience? Hidden under all your greed? Beware of the cost and effect… Haha this quote is actually taken from one of my friends who like to crap and argue with me but I think that this is the one and only justified sentence that he has ever spoken in the entire 10 months that I’ve known him. Haha.
Anyway, when I said I do not want to live that long, I really meant it. I do not want to be a burden to my family when I get old and *touchwood* unhealthy. Perhaps 70 years old would be enough for me to see all the other miracles that have yet to come? I don’t know about that but I’m keyed up to take every single step into the future and see what the future holds for me. Clichéd but true.
Phewww… This is a long one.
