I actually planned to do a total of 10km last week so that I can up it to 12km this week. Baby said 2km increment is just nice. I was thinking like 5km increments initially. Maybe too ambitious. As always. Haha.

But I was crazily busy over the entire week, with a total 9 classes (times 3hrs) and almost the entire weekend gone to CF, I only did 7+km.

Okay I'm so totally not used to 9 classes since I usually only have 4 per week so 9 is like, "omg. can you kill me now" kinda thing.

So this week, 10km? I will try.
I did a 2.57km run today and 209 calories. Not feeling in the best of conditions so definitely couldn't do a 5km today. I was sniffing and preventing mucus from flowing out along half of my run. Ewww-ness. Plus I think my period is coming so extremely tired and lethagic and just wana nua.

I didn't study today at all. Like I said, I just wana nua. But it is bad cos more of such nua-ing is going to cut me down on my 84days to final exams. Hope I can make up for today tomorrow.

Okay so since I'm in a nua mood, I'm going to watch a movie now - Away From Her. I don't remember this movie.. it was in 2006. But I just saw it being advertised on Ch5, to be screened soon and it looked interesting.

Oh yah, while I'm on this topic, I got to know of the Gosselin family (of 10 in total, with twins and sextuplets omgomgomg!) from ickleoriental. I've recently became a lurker there. Lol. So I followed her link to check out other youtube vids on the family and I'm in love. I need to stalk them now! So I'm still waiting to watch their entire 4 seasons on their lives. Can't wait! :D

And so, back to the movie, I've decided that I do really bad reviews on movies..and that's sad. Mainly cos I forget too easily. I forget about stuff once the movie ends. Nothing really hits me and nothing really gets stuck in my head. So today, I'm going to try something different. I'm going to watch and post right here whatever comments I have along the way. Alrighty? :)

Here goes!


Okay so the movie is about poor old people who can't remember things. It reminds me of the Money No Enough 2 we had few months ago. I think it's really sad and it's terribly taxing on your children or their spouses if you are under their care. At this moment of my life, I would say I wish I don't have a very long life. Hopefully not long enough to have to be bed-ridden or wheel-chair bound or simply when I can't take care of myself..and then see my kids push me around, all not wanting to take responsibility of me. No one wants to take care of me. But this view is really at the moment.. who knows I might want to see my grandchildren grow up and stuff and don't want to die yet when I'm old and wrinkly.

"Fiona, don't go away from me like this."
The poor couple seem to only have just themselves to each other and I think it would pain me awfully if I had to send my hubby to a nursing home though it would mean more specialised care for my hubby but more loneliness for both of us. And it was the wife who insisted on being put into a home.

"I'd like to make love, and then I'd like you to go..because I need to stay here and if you make it hard for me, I might cry so hard I'll never stop."
Fiona tells her hubby as he begs her not to leave him at the nursing home. I wouldn't be saying that cos really, I'm not as strong as her. And considering she is suffering from Alzheimer's.

Fiona starts to forget her hubby and I can feel Grant's pain in coming by every day just to see his wife remember him less and less. It sucks. I teared a little when a jealous Grant sees Fiona begin to hang around a lot around a new old man and appears to start to have a new relationship with him. Then Aubrey (the new old man) had to leave the nursing home due to financial difficulties.

"Can't beat life!"

It's amazing what love does. Grant goes in search of Aubrey and his wife to try and get Aubrey to meet Fiona so she wouldn't be so sad.

"Fio, is there any way to let this go?"
"If I let it go, it will only hit me harder when I bump into it again."
How can a husband be so okay when your wife is clearly in love with someone else? Poor Grant.

"It's never too late to become what you were might have been."
I had a sudden surge of tears when this was said. Can't explain why I felt the way I did but I just did. I guess a part of me always thought I could be a much better person.

I weeped at the ending. Ugh. Gordon Pinsent and Julie Christie are such great actors. It's no wonder there's all those awards and nominations for this film.

I say, good movie! :)
