feeling free

06 april 2007, good friday

freedom writers
@ gv tampines mall with marie

i was telling marie when we were still deciding on which show to watch, anything after that horrendously torturous (yeah it is double negative!) mr bean movie will be good! and it was! "freedom writers" is very much like that famous michelle pfeiffer movie "dangerous minds"..erin gruwell’s passion to become a teacher is soon challenged by a group of black, latino, and asian gangbangers who hate her even more than each other. when erin begins to listen to them in a way no adult has ever done, she begins to understand that for these kids, getting through the day alive is enough they are not delinquents but teenagers fighting a war of the streets that began long before they were born. erin gives them something they never had from a teacher before - respect. in highlighting the various vulnerabilities in life, freedom writers' most important lesson is that even in our darkest hours, there is always an outlet of hope..predictable but inspiring nonetheless..

i still want to watch my teenage mutant ninja turtles!

went for a 4.5 hours marathon kbox session with karen..she is probably my best ktv companion man..it's only with her that i get to try out all the ulu songs (from the newest hits all the way to the oldies) and not feel embarassed in doing so..not to mention that she is also my best duet partner! :) and if you were thinking 4.5 hours is such a long time, trust me, it always ends too soon!
