Ending on a High

Just when I thought my hopes of watching High School Musical 3 on the big screen has died; when all this while I've been dying to watch it, I finally caught it in its dying days, today!

After feeling so lethargic and dead after yesterday's duty, the only thing that I was looking forward was watching the movie with a sick poor DZ, flanked by 3 girls who looked more tired & lethargic than me, namely Geok (yu) Lan Su Ying Jia Yan. <-goodness can u believe it none of them have a Christian name, now the name when put together looks like some medical concoction or some tourist site in China, I havent added in De Zhang yet. haha...kidding :P Can hardly blame them coz they'd woken up so early for combined church service. But thank God we watched it together, coz all of us fully agreed it was an immensely enjoyable show.

You know, that show is just what i needed really after reading 2 fictitiously true books which contained so many stories of people dying, blown up, raped, flogged, tortured. In fact, when I finished up my 2nd book over a cuppa at Toastbox this morning (while waiting for the rest), it left me with a sorrowful uncomfortable feeling. Its like something gripping at your heart and tightening it, not allowing your emotions to pour out. Furthermore, the last few shows i've watched, it'd always left a melancholic aftertaste in me. Like Forrest Gump yesterday, Million Dollar Baby on Tuesday.

I love High School Musical really. I treasure it. Coz I think I most prob won't find another show like this anymore in the future. A show with no hint of sexual content, no vulgarities/bad language. But all energetic hopefuls, believers that good will always triumph over evil, that its better to be a good guy always, that relationship in itself is so lovely. goodness. i love it entirely, it grows on you and me. But the danger is that they can be idols lor. They're all so clever in their studies, so idolised by people coz they can dance, win trophies, become the star player, and they're pretty and handsome people.

Stepping out of the dark cinema is like a rude shove and i'm knocked back to reality. Harsh realities of life that the movie doesn't show. Life isn't easy, and its the truth. So no point living a vicarious life in troy and gabriella i told myself. Get down to earth man.

sigh. thats the way things end.

but i believe in rainbows, and thats a reason for hope, and happy endings.
