why cant this happen to me?!!!

we had a premature celebration 2 nights ago.. dinner at Tao Kee.. Chilli crabs! fried mantou.. sotong youtiao... was soooo satisfying! then head off to J8 to catch The Lake House!

it was heart meltingly romantic.. i was starry-eyed (literally) when the credits came on and the lights came up.. been awhile since a movie affected me so.. and it didnt hurt that the 2 protagonists were my 2 favourite couple in Tinselton.. Sandra Bullocks was gorgeous.. she never seem to age (she's in her 40s.. can u beat that?!).. and Keanu Reeves was a hunk and a half! (though i like him better in Matrix)

thought it would be nice if there were more feature on the Lake House.. imagine living in such a house.. well, i cant imagine.. haha

all in all, this is a beautiful film.. the intricate links between the past and the present.. or the present and the future.. short and sweet (only an hour half) and it made me go all gooey brained...

i'm so going to buy the DVD!

in case u dun already know, the song playing on the background was from the movie.. check out the pic on the bottom right..

it was year 2004 (Alex's time, 2 years before Kate's) and he managed to find Kate at her bday party.. they did a slow number to this song.. gosh.. i've seen many romantic scenes but somehow, this one just struck a cord in me.. (though i dun remember doing a slow no. with anyone in such a romantic setting) i think the music played a big part..

just go catch this film, i'm not saying more.. just go catch it.. we've caught dozens of movies (average 1 per week!) but i've never felt any inclination to blog about any save for this.. now you know how much i love this show!

and oh.. i've always loved receiving letters.. love letters.. *hint hint*

Then Ju you should see the Korean version, which is the original. It's even more romantic tho heart wrenching!

jo, is the korean one really nicer? i find korean flicks a lil long-winded with plenty of crying..

ant, u just dun see the picture.. tsk tsk..

anyway, to satisfy your gastronomical appetite.. they were soooo good! the crabs are huge and meat oh so sweet.. and gravy? magnifique~ sotong youtiao tastes like sotong youtiao lah..

though their pepper crabs cant beat the joo chiat ones..

now are u hungry yet? hehe
