Busy Saturday

I actually watched my first show at the Singapore Film Festival - The art of negative thinking with my ex-colleagues. It is a burlesque drama about Geirr, who has become severely handicapped in a traffic accident. In an attempt to show everyone how terrible he feels, he has hit a dead end. Given his isolation, weapons fixation, self medication and limitless bitterness, his girlfriend Ingvild doesn't know how to handle him any longer. She therefore invites a municipal positivity group to their home. Faced with the threat of a possible break-up with Ingvild, Geirr agrees to join the meeting. Consequently, the stage is set for 24 intense hours at Geirr and Ingvild's place. Geirr is the only one who refuses to see anything in a positive light. Gradually, he is joined by all the positivity group members. Not only must the leader of the group be vanquished; everyone must also confront their own negative inferno. Geirr forces everyone through a tunnel of desperation, anguish and hopelessness, before the day dawns and they once again catch sight of light, if only as a faint glimpse of hope. At this point, even Geirr realizes the banal truth: One has to try to think positive, however lousy one feels.

The show is pretty interesting and provide a different perspective to the way we think.

After this show, we were invited to one of member's birthday celebration at the Icon, which is a pretty condo at tanjong pagar. The condo was really luxurious with a level where there is sofa area for us to hang around and oversee the CBD night scene. Above that, there is even indoor jacuzzi area and massage tables. Even for their swimming pool area, there is comfortable sofa for people to hang out. After our short visit, all of us are longed to own one unit there if our financial permits. Though i didn't manage to take pictures of the environment, there is some shot of us below.

Us and the birthday girl (2nd girl from the left) who happens to my cousin's classmates.

My filipino ex-colleague and me.

The guys.

Though we are yawning away after the celebrations, we still insisted on catching a midnight movie at GV PS. So the 4 of us (me, cynthia, cheewee and marion) went ahead to watch a movie that we thought will keep us awake, i.e. Definetly maybe. But through the 120mins, the 4 of us were struggling with the sleeping bug but all failed as none of us make it through the whole movie without napping in between. In conclusion, we should always follow our heart and not push ourselves to the limit. Anyway it was all still fun and we are still living it to our usual practise of not reaching home before 2am. haha.
