WALL-E and Tees

I watched WALL-E on Sunday 7pm at GSC Summit with Heng, Jess, and Xin Min (all three who returned from their respective unis for a short one-week holiday), and had my expectations quite high, having looked forward to it ever since I saw its trailer a few months ago.

I’m happy to report that my expectations were duly matched – it single-handedly is the BEST animated film to date, and dare I say it, the best movie of the year. :) It’s simple enough in its execution (though I reckon it isn’t that simple behind the scenes), using the most minimal amount of dialogue to portray the most powerful of emotions that would make you laugh or tear up, has an original plot with top-notch CGI, and is extremely heart-warming.

I loved every minute of the movie. The antics of WALL-E and EVE were cute and innocent and there were a few moments that undoubtedly gave me the tingling sensation. There’s something about the naivety of the both of them vis-à-vis the raw concepts of love that made me love WALL-E very much. It’s one of them movies I wouldn’t mind watching twice.

The white T-shirt I bought from Bangkok now remains in my closet, unused. I’m sorry that the month-long sparks had to fizzle out unceremoniously – I’d love to have it continue for the years to come, but on talking to Ting yesterday, I reflected upon my future with you and it seemed uncertain at best. Communication, as they said, is important especially in an LDR, but you offered none of that when we couldn’t meet. I’m sorry that it has to end on a note when you accorded no reply on MSN to my saying, “I think we need to take a break”.

It’s funny how the tees I bought seemed to be like a curse – they couldn’t be given to the people I fancied. It reminded me of that pink one that still remained not given from 2 years past, which was a relic from the past, a feeling from the past.
