:: Follow The Voice In Your Heart ::

We are the keepers of our own heart.

So what is it about following the voice in your heart?

Some hear the voice but are deaf to it...

Some listen too much to the voice in their head,

they ignore the one in their heart.

So just what is it about following the voice in your heart?

Just ask the keeper of this blog...

The keeper of her own heart.

I wan to scold TSK now!!! All bcoz of u... I'm looking lyk a total wreck now!!! The show u lent mi is SO SAD!!!! And at the part where the guy had to go off to war, and the woman shouting his name repeatedly outside the train, my mum had to walk in. And since I cant control my tear duct, tap went out of control, and she had to laugh at mi, say 'the show dat sad huh?'. Then aft laughing at mi for a while, she sat down and watch wif mi. There was onli abt 20 mins left of dat show. (oh ya did I mention I got my uncontrollable water tap frm my mum?) And at the end of the show, both of us were in the same state alr. I'm totally amazed... she onli watched the last 20 mins and she can cry as much as I did! TSK... it's all ur fault!!! Hmmmph!~

I realli wan to say wad the story's abt, but it's kinda complicated... basically it's abt this ger who is in love wif her good fren's bf. And one day she was juz going thro her mum's old trunk that contains all the love letters and diary of her mum. And she chanced upon one letter, in which on the outside it's written her dad's name, but inside the letter it's signed off by another guy's name. Den she started reading thro her mum's diary...

I seriously tink it's a veri classic love story. (shit... I'm starting to cry again... NO!!!) This is a congressman's daughter, she's betrothed to another guy (A) since young. One day when she is off to sum countryside visiting her grandpa and saw this other guy (B). It was kinda a love at first sight thingy and they went to explore this haunted house on a boat, shared a watermelon together and he caught a firefly for her. And before she left she gave him her necklace.

One day in sch, (A) approached (B) to ask him to help him write letters for the ger. (A and B are schoolmates by, coincidently) And so he did, even when he knew dat it is for the ger he is in love wif. And so the typical story goes... guy and ger cannot forget each other but they cannot hurt (A) too... until one day (B) decides to confess to (A) abt him and the ger. (A) took it well and wished them all the best. And even told dem to write his name on the letters they exchange so that the ger's parents wun suspect anything. Everything went well, until one day a letter was sent back... to (A)'s house. His father found out abt it and was furious abt it and used his belt to realli hit his son... the next dat (A) couldn't take it anymore and went to hang himself, and was saved in time by (B). And dats when (B) decided to give up and signed on for the war. He left the necklace she gave him on the door...

Ok and den cums the train scene, she was shouting his name repetitively outside the train and dat he muz cum back safely, and gave him her necklace. In the war, he was actually able to escape unscathed but cos he lost her necklace he went back to retrieve it. I thought dat he was gg to die, but apparently he din. The next time they met was at a restaurant, they were talking fine until the ger realised dat stg was wrong and realised the guy was blind. He lost his sight in the war, when he went back to retrieve the necklace. One of the first things he said to her was "why are u not married yet? I'd already gotten married." When actually he didn't. And then she got married to (A)... and had a daughter (who is the narrator). He got married a few days after she did. And he died after a few yrs, and left a word for her to spread his ashes on the river where they had their first date.

As for the daughter, as I was saying, she was in love wif her fren's bf. And apparently he was in love wif her too, but they are so much luckier, they got together in the end. And one day by the river when she was telling him the story abt her mum's first love frm the diary, he started crying. He den took off the necklace he was wearing and gave it to her... it's the same necklace. He's the son of (B).

I feel dat the movie is filmed and narrated in a marvellous way. The story of the ger and her mother is being told in parallels, lyk they'll show a bit on the present, and den flashback to the past. It lets the audience see the similarity veri clearly, and feel for them. And the part I lyk is dat the ger in the end got together wif the guy she loved. Her mother and his father do not have the fate to end up together, and the fate is passed to the next generation to be completed. I was wondering wad if now I found out my mum had a unforgettable relationship before my dad... ok... I'm sidetracking again...

I'm a sucker for love stories, especially those realli touching ones and can make mi cry. But at the same time, when I cry too much I get a headache, veins being strained and heart being tugged. Dunno why the hell am I torturing myself... I mean, I wun wan a tragic r/s in reali life rite? But it's onli in movies where u can get such "chi xin" relationships, whereby I realli love u, u and onli u. Wait... suddenly this remined mi of another show... "Tempting Hearts"... aaargh... another show where my water tap goes haywire...

(TSK u watched it b4? If not I go buy and lend u... I realised both of us are the same pattern one... maybe one day I can go ur hse and we can watch these shows as a marathon... haha...)
