Last Tuesday, Steph & I headed out to watch the long awaited movie - Sex & The City.
It was marvellous, I would say. I don't care whether it lived up to my expectations or not but I believe it was an all-time great movie that reflected on love and friendships, filled with tears and laughter. Literally.I could really relate to some of the things they said and felt.
And if you haven't watched the movie and don't want any spoilers, my advice is to surf elsewhere because I'm going to talk about parts of the movie.

When Carrie got stood up by Mr Big, I could feel her pain. After so many break-ups, you would think it's impossible for him to hurt her again. Especially when they are THIS close to the wedding alter. To feel such humiliation when you have 200 guests waiting to see you in your designer wedding gown in the next room. As if being labelled the last single girl at the age of 40 to get married wasn't embarassing enough.

When Mr Big tried to approach her to explain, I recognised the fierce protective look Charlotte gave him as she asked him to back off - it reminds me of myself. Strangely, I get very protective over my close friends. I will not tolerate any nonsense of them being bullied by anyone when they don't deserve it. Especially by boyfriend's crazy moms.
I'll always remember how heated up I was when I heard Jason's mom insult Yishyene and threatened Jason. I think I managed to somewhat beat her at her own screaming match. Well, I'm getting a lil' off track. What I was trying to say is I get THAT angry and fierce when it comes to my loved ones, til the point that I obviously lose my manners. Anyway, Steph did say that I sometimes remind her of Charlotte haha.

The depressing days of just wanting to sleep through the whole day. Like you would never live a happy life again. I think I've went through that phase before as well. Everything felt 'dark' and you didn't even want to let the sun shine through into your life.
And after months and months of denying any forgiveness to the man that broke your heart, you know well enough that you still miss him every single day of your life despite how you seemed to have move on. But it only takes another broken-hearted woman to dig out the real feelings you've kept in the corner of your heart.

And throughout your hardships, you have friends that walk this difficult road along with you. Those are the ones that you know you can rely on, for life. Ones who truly care, without any necessary backstabbing which seems to be sadly unavoidable in real life. And definitely, friends that clearly do not KISS AND TELL. You know your life is over when you've got friends who won't think twice about leaking out your stories if they 'had to'.

Another highlight of the movie is when Carrie were photographed in the many many designer gowns in Vogue. Ah, I would kill the try on some of those dresses. But I wouldn't look as good as her, since she's got a pretty lean and muscular body.
I think I wouldn't mind watching it another time. Samantha's witty sex comments are always so funny :D
The movie would have been greater if June was around to watch it with us :(
On a totally random note, I found it hilarious when Charlotte took ages to think of the great opening line for Mr Big - I CURSE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN. :) She's just too cute for words. And when she shitted her pants. Literally.

Anyway, hope you people were as 'carrie-d' away as I was. I'm gonna go shopping for labels AND love later haha.
