3.40 a.m.! I might as well not sleep now. Just got back from a movie + supper at good ol' Simpang. Elks and I watched Hachiko, and till now my eyes still feel swollen from the crying. Gee. I never cried this much in a movie since... I don't know when. Probably never before actually. It was the kind of crying which involves the whole works, lots of unglamourous mucus dripping, pain-behind-the-eyeballs, salty tears streaking the face type. And not to forget the reddish eyes. I'm usually very adamant about not crying in the cinema 'cos it's just a very messy affair haha, and very paiseh to boot. But throughout this movie I was fighting back the tears quite fiercely and in the end at a certain scene it all flowedddd. Yes, it was that tear-jerking. I only shed a few tears in my sister's keeper, and Up, laughing in amusement at Pamela who was basically crying a river during those shows :P I just can't imagine how she'd be for Hachiko! Probably running to the toilet halfway.

Tears aside, I liked Hachiko. It's a very simple story revolving around a very simple concept - unconditional love. That it was able to stir so many emotions within me and - judging from the many sniffles around me and the dab-dab-dabbing of tissues on faces and noses - the audience, kinda surprises me actually. I think it has evoked the rawest, most honest feelings from me thus far. Maybe it's cos the story revolves around a dog, and I don't know, all traces of skepticism just vanishes. Anyway! Watch it people, and prepare lots of tissues. I thought Rachel was exaggerating when she said that. Turns out the tissues came in really handy.

Then came supper at SIMPANGGG. Loveitloveitloveit! :) It's nice to be able to catch up with friends.
