Watched "Billy Elliot" yesterday, and I so love that boy... Jamie Bell, is it? So cute and huggable... almost as huggable as ickle Tom Felton when he was in "Anna & The King"... I am such a paedophile *twacks self*
Am mildly annoyed by the way channel i censors off all the swear words though... it's so distracting! They did it with "Green Mile" too, the night before... like, would it kill them to not mutilate the movie? Maybe it wasn't a major plot point or anything, but for "Billy Elliot" I felt the swearing was part of the working class lingo, and leaving it out was like leaving out a chunk of the scenery.
And watching that movie makes me wish I lived anywhere but here, in boring ol' Singapore. Actually, watching almost any movie makes me wish I didn't live here. I mean, just look at this place... buildings, buildings, more buildings.... so depressing.

looking out
at the next block
at the curtains on the next block
is to feel as if
one is viewing a wall
at a columbarium
at ghosts behind plaques
hunting for their souls
in drawers, in woks
in the television box
is to laugh, a little sadly,
because even gravestones
have names.
