today in school ruide kept insisting i cried yesterday and i was like HUH, and finally i realised he was talking about during click. -.- but it was really very touching! adam sandler could go forward in time with this universal remote control and he fast forwarded stuff like quarrels and waiting time before his promotion and he found himself years ahead in time. but he realised he'd missed out on his children's growing-up years, his wife had divorced him and his dad had died. then he rewound to the last time he saw his dad, and he realised how he'd ignored his dad and couldn't even be bothered to spend time with him. then the him watching the memory wanted so much to tell his dad how much he really loved him but his dad couldn't hear him, of course. goodness, i just couldn't control my tears then. and it made me think of my dad, and how things would be like if he were still around. ):
another touching scene was when he ran out of the hospital, after his son, just to tell him that his family should still be more important than his career. then he just fell on the road and as he was dying and his family was surrounding him, it was just so touching. and when he told his daughter, "i might not live two hundred years, but i will always love you." or something to that extent, it was super sad. i think the show sent the message that we shouldn't just aim for materialistic goals like job promotions, cause at the end of it all it might not be what you want at all. and by the time you realise it, it might be too late, cause you might have lost all that matters already. really, family, friends and happiness matters more than anything else. and that is very in line with what i believe too.
did you guys watch singapore idol? i thought jonathan's rendition of dance with my father was very touching, even though it didn't get very good comments. the song's written by this guy in memory of his late father and how he wishes for his mom the chance to dance with his father again, just like when he was alive, even if it were for just one more time. here are the lyrics:
Dance With My Father
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved
If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how mama cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
my sis and i thought we could feel the emotion when jon sang it. we were listening to the words and they were just so touching and sincere! or maybe, like my sis said, maybe it because we can relate to the lyrics. like how sometimes we miss our dad and wish he were here with us.
okay enough enough! that last part almost made me tear while i typed it. o_O as biyi says, "don't be emo, nemo!" (: just try listening to the song and focusing on the lyrics, maybe you'll get what i mean.
on a brighter note, my class, at present, has around NINETEEN people going for graduation night! we are the coolest class ever. i hope we get all get a room together or something. (:
