The movie “Closer” is fantastic. I am so loving it and I am surprised that Hollywood is capable to make such an artistic film. That is why I watch a fair bit of foreign films. Not going to reveal too much details here but for someone who has experienced a few heartaches and gone through a few breakups, I can certain relate many scenes in the movie. When the credits came out, my wife pointed out that almost the entire movie is played by 4 characters (like “Before Sunrise” and “Before Sunset” that are played by only 2 characters).
Driving to watch the show, I observed the driving behaviour on the road and I have got to say that Singapore Traffic Police (together with the media of course) has been very effective in asking all the motorists to keep to the speed limits. After publishing a list of roads that may potentially deploy the new speed lasar guns on their website – and the list, by the way, certainly covers the majority of Singapore – I hardly see any car goes beyond the speed limit.
Before the show, I have been listening to the 5 songs that I have written and I must have listened to them many times but still I cannot memorise the melody. The feeling is as though I pick up a new record and though I may like it a lot, it will take time for me to memorise the songs. Wierd. Never happens to me before.

I have watched the movie ‘Closer’ already. But I don’t quite like the film as I don’t like love in that way… Having said that, the film ‘touched’ me in some ways… yes, I can also relate to some scenes in the film… still remember the scene where the writer first broke up with the stripper?… the atmosphere of the whole conversation, the responses of Alice and Den, all the things happening before the leave of the girl while the boy was making tea are just so familiar… That’s why I always say that the breakup adds a new colour to my life. This colour is not pleasant but fundamental to human senses. When I am now watching films, listening to music or reading a story, I can ‘feel’ the feeling inside and have new perspectives… Breakup can really make people grow…
the reason i can relate is because i have got a lot more milage in terms of breakups compare to u … ha ha ha … put it this way, many scenes in that show i can relate to.
you can be the king. .. hahaha… in this case, you can be the king and I won’t compete with you lar!
well, if u do not intend to be a songwriter, nor an author, nor a film script writer, i guess you don’t need to experience so many heartbreaks
