Xiaohai bu ben (2002)
I couldnt stop my tears while watching this..
Didnt manage to catch the movie on silver screen when it was shown in Singapore last year. After all the rave reviews this movies garnered, decided to buy the VCD (original, no less). And I was in for a big big surprise. Never had a local production affected me so much emotionally. I cried out loud, real loud. Partly due the fact that I'm studying for my CFA exam at that time and partly I felt so strongly with most of the messages Jack Neo tried to send with this production.
Life in Singapore can get too boring at times as everything seems to be pre-planned for you. I was at a cross-road when I was watching this. I started to re-examine myself, to introspect and to understand myself and realise that what I was doing does not make sense at all. My life is still as empty as ever.
I started to explore all my available options and finally manage to take great steps to break the traditional Singapore cycle, traditional Singapore way of life. I must say that I'm a happier man now.
To all the other Singaporeans out there. Singaporean way of life belongs to the conventional, conservative, middle-income, family-oriented group of people. If you do not belong, it's time to garner your courage to be different, to step out and explore the world. You will be rewarded handsomely.
