My Sister’s Keeper and My Husband’s Wife

My Sister’s Keeper

I caught My Sister’s Keeper on Saturday. I have not read the book but I must say the story is so compelling and touching. There’s not just one protagonist in this story (like most other), but i thought every characters’ perspective was very well depicted. This story is very thought provoking, much like writing a GP essay on Euthanasia. LOL! The right vs wrong kinda stuff.

The cast is fairly unknown (to me) – except for Cameron Diaz. I thought Abigail Breslin was very pretty and precocious, and her brother Evan Ellingson was pretty good looking too! OMG OMG… and that Taylor dude is so smoking! *drool* (he looks better bald i think) Looks aside, I am not quite sure how to comment on acting skills etc.

My verdict if you are interested to know is: MUST WATCH! – ok fine, maybe I should give some credit to the author for writing such a nice book.

It was truly thought provoking for me. and I think the whole movie must have been well around 1.5hrs? But I am such a joker to have cried for like an hour during the movie. I am such a loser I know to be crying over a movie (in public). -sigh- But it is an extraordinary story – to me that is. See Cameron Diaz try all her life to keep her daughter alive. See despite how Kate is gonna die, she still encourages her siblings. See how the father loves his children in his understanding ways. See how despite all pain, Anna still loves her sister so much. See how Taylor died quietly… Awww… life’s fragility is such poetry.

The aftermath: my eyes were so swollen the next day…  My eye lids had some tinge of blue (probably slightly bruised due to the constant wiping of tears in public).. and my mum thought something terrible happened. haha! She concluded I was crazy after hearing that I cried in the movie. I am so gonna read the book!

My Husband’s Wife

Briefly, my husband went for his reservist this week. Yes, the time of the year to be operationally ready (even if you are not). I am grateful for this NS / Reservist stuff actually. Its a little time consuming, and it makes no sense from the business point of view. But someone’s gotta defend the country nonetheless. So if Singaporeans aren’t gonna do the job, who else? So I am quite proud of my husband when he goes for his reservist.

And guess what, its my first time folding that (retarded) sleeves of the Army No 4. How retarded can it be? Well, try it to know. haha! And i polished my first pair of shoes!

So proud of myself.

The sacrifice – Two finger’s nail. The wax got into my nails, and darn I gotta clip them off… And now my index and middle finger on my right hand has got ugly nails….
