It's amazing how people can be linking to each other...

Not by coincidence i always believe that.

see if i could link this facebook...what could happen?

how could i get connected even though there are times i just feel that the 2 worlds doesn't seem to cross with each other...

Here I am in Bkt Mertajam, at my parents' place, hehehe! Me n sis are well-fed here, yum yum~~~ Tomoro will head towards Taiping for the merdeka weekend.

Have watched UP with colleagues. TRUST me, that UP was really really really GOOD!! i guess different people would see different things in this cartoon animation.

Maybe because of my profession, i always search for the emotional, sentimental values in the cartoon, apart from the great adventures. I think it's more than adventures, achieving unachieving dreams, fulfilling unfulfilled wishes, reaching out to unexplored dreams. It's also about grief, loneliness, letting go (which was why i felt so heavy-hearted after the show). It was a tear-jerker kind of cartoon, i would say it got my eyes filled with tears at 3 different parts of the cartoon. For those who haven't watch, i am sorry that i just have to reflect on it here now. heehee, spoiler huh!

i agreed with a colleague who said that there was never a cartoon that would expressed so quietly (just using music, no words spoken) as the scenes changed from Mr. Fredrickson went through marriage, old age, death of his beloved wife Ellie. I told my colleague at the scene when his wife on her death bed that i was going to cry!

The 2nd tear-jerking part would be when Mr. Friedrickson finally settled his house beside Paradise Falls. As he sat there, with a relieve sigh, he reflect on Ellie's adventure book. This part was just Soooooooooooo touching as he turned the pages. For all that he felt guilty and regret that he couldn't have his wife's childhood dreams fulfilled, he finally realised the true fact was the wife's adventure was her marriage with a man that she loves. Look at his expressions!!! really break my heart there... i could even feel the tears coming out again as i type this. And the last part - Ellie thank Fredrickson for the adventure, and had asked him to find his' adventure. Wuaaaaa... this point, my colleague beside had heard my nose making noises already.

As he saw his air-balloon house missing in the clouds, that expression on his face again break my heart. It is just very hard to let go...in real life, it is a real issue in many of us. Letting go is just so hard to do. However, if we do not let go, we would never have a breakthrough, breakfree - from bondages, from past hurts, the wound will not heal. New life does not come about, unless the old life died. It really speaks very true of the relationship with our Saviour... Gee...can this cartoon be an evagelical tool to help us reach out to the unsaved?

There the house, settled at its rightful place finally, the dream started by a little girl, ended by an old aged man with his new found dreams and adventure.

The 3rd tearing part, was the part when Mr. Fredrickson gave his acknowledgement to Russell boy. Aww man, so touched by it. I could see that so many young kids suffered deprivation of having good father/mother figures. The presence of a male/female figure in a child's life is so important. And this old man would eventually represent a significant male figure in this little boy's heart, same for little girls finding the identification of female figures. SO there would not be so many cases of homosexuality and lesbianism among us could have happened (one of the few contributing factors).  

=) worth a watch people! BOTH THUMBS UP!
