bourne and la va ien rose
i was checking the timing of la va ien rose in Life! and sadly, only GV vivo is still screening the movie with weird timings.
i was flipping through the papers when my friend asked me what movie i was searching for
when i told him "la va ien rose", he replied with a "wtf?! what movie is that?"
he then pointed towards the picture of bourne ultimatum and remarked that it would be a great movie.
and then thoughts raced through my mind
i'm not a action-movie guy, and i don't like movies with plenty of conversations in it
i prefer movies that make me reflect on the issue that is being raised in it
so throw me a picturehouse film anytime.
this same friend was discussing with another friend on the advantages of PSP against nintendo DS lite.
and with the increased in occurence of people seen fiddling with these hand held consoles in the MRT,
i still don't get it after these 20 years.
and another friend just told me he is into dota now, which reminds me of my dear classmates since J1.
on another side of the world, i managed to interact with this guy called leonard who is a triathlon enthusiast.
he told me that after he completed his first marathon, he asked himself what's next for him. and hence his subsequent biathlons, triathlons.
after ahm this sunday, he's taking part in the AVIVA half ironman distance the week after that, with his aim on the full ironman distance in Australia! come the end of the year.
we were discussing about his training program for the week and i was shocked to find out that he trains 7 days a week with no rest at all.
he runs once to twice a week, and he bikes on the same days as his running days.
some days he would put in double training a day, waking up to clock his distance before work and doing it again after work.
such dedication and i looked at him and wondered," does he have a life? does he have time for friends? does he have time for a movie and a chill-out after that?"
i never really got to ask him this question.
but what i saw was dedication.
or rather pure insanity as some might think.
this mirrors this ultramarathon guy called dean something.
i finished reading his book while in Australia and i was pretty much motivated by him.
he would wake up early just to clock his runs before work, sometimes squeezing in a 45min run during lunch and doing it again after work.
and i was thinking. i don't want to slack off after my NS days and be a slob,
i still want to be active
and run marathons even to my nineties
as He say He shall make my bones strong. no doubt about that.
abrupt.
