tock tick tock tick...



Wei! Faster lar! Let's go in. Benjamin old already!

We were about 5-10 minutes late when we arrived. But the movie still proved to be a masterclass! This movie had it all. There were some scenes where you would cry. Some scenes which can make you laugh - The guy who was struck by lightning 7 times. XD

If you ever picture yourself aging backwards, this is the movie for you. It certainly is strange, a tad bit 'curious'. To me, the first half of life would be apparently seem swell. We will slowly be liberated from our sufferings i.e. arthritis, cataracts, etc. Schools will be 'old-folks' homes' - albeit having only a few students. I guess it would be easy to get lots of MC. We can come up with anything and our parents or doctors will buy it. But passing on will be horrible. It's like we won't know anything. Life so much so ends (psychologically) before it ends (physically).

And during middle age, it's like quite eww lorr. There was this scene where Benjamin (age wise is older but looking soooo much younger compared to Daisy) slept with Daisy. It seems quite gross. He looked like her son.

Ok. But perhaps not very much different from the 'real world' we are living in. We will still get lots of TLC time in the early stages of our lives. We will drool lots when we are 'babies'. We will worry our 'parents' sick if we aren't back before our curfew. Oh and many many more.

How about if we are born younger?? That will really upset parents - perhaps even hysterical. It can only mean... that we don't have have as much time as the other 'kids'. Ok... this is getting way too confusing! It will be like having a countdown clock on your head - like in that music video, Savin' Me by Nickelback.

Also, it does beg the question whether people will still ask, "How old are you?". Perhaps if all of us were born old, then it will make it more logical to instead ask, "How young are you?" since we are young at the later part of our lives. And that would sound more polite in that world as well as ours right? It's kinda weird though listening to our much 'younger' parents that we should respects our 'youngers'. What if they pull our ears and it drops off! >.< width="425" height="344">

Some people, were born to sit by a river.
Some get struck by lightning.
Some have an ear for music.
Some are artists.
Some swim.
Some know buttons.
Some know Shakespeare.
Some are mothers.
And some people...
Dance.
