Summer Palace~

I went to watch Summer palace today with Sarah, and she's one of the few if not the only one whom i feel comfortable watching the show with. The ticket guy made my day. He nervously asked me to show him my IC after i assured him that I'm 21, and Sarah was 21 also. At this point of life, when someone actually doubts that you are 21, it actually feels kinda good. I'm sure we are all too familiar with the days when we just couldn't wait to grow up and wanted to be more mature, more adult like. Now, we just wanna be young again. Anyway, when they mean sexual content, they really mean sexual content. Lou Ye really didn't hold back the flood gates when it came to the love scenes. There were at least 10 of 'em. Wouldn't be surprised why the Chinese media banned the film on local soil with the taboo issue of the Tian An Men square being featured in the film as well. Well the main take home points of the film that was discussed over dinner was that no one could ever forget the first real love, even after breaking up. Subsequent relationships were just there to fill the emptiness inside, but the heart longs for that first real love. Also, it is only human nature to tend to wander, to explore, and to seek different experiences. Sarah pointed out a very good point in that we choose to wander because we feel that we do not have any direction in life, and maybe because God is not in our lives. With that in mind, one might wonder whether marriage is just something practical, a contract that is signed between two people, and not an affirmation of true, real love, a couple that is willing to go through thick and thin for the rest of their lives.

Anyway, this song has touched me recently.Wish to share it with all. Enjoy:)
