Waxing Lyrical.

Deceivingly catchy, this duet left me morose with its accompanying lyrics.
It gnaws at my frail frame, for its resemblance to what has transpired between us is uncanny.

"你在我的面前微笑 装不知道
With a smile, you pretend to be oblivious.
其实你告白的简讯 我有收到
Actually, I'd received your text.
为何你 爱要晚到
Why did your love arrive too late?
只能像朋友般拥抱
We can only hug under the guise of friendship.

用记忆在对你拍照 让人难熬
Ruminating on encapsulated moments and our pictures leaves me wretched.
其实我对于你的好 也曾动摇
I'd grown to love the Good that was You.
为何你 爱要晚到
Why did You arrive too late?
对的人 不对的时间 却放不掉
The Right person appeared at the wrong time. However, I've yet to let You go."

Watch This.

Every now and then, a reel of sorts latches itself and refuses to budge.

End of Watch is an excellent movie, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anna Kendrick. (Aside : Yours truly has watched every movie that features Jake Gyllenhaal or Leonardo DiCaprio.)

While the film expounds on the dangers of upholding justice and the threats posed by cartels, it is far from a police-versus-mob cliche. The script is sharp and its cinematography is authentic.

While death weaves itself into the plot, it announces its finality at the end and is certain to send a sledgehammer hurtling right into your subconscious.

Juxtaposing against the grim outcome is this mise–en–scène.

Unscripted, it was secretly filmed by the director as they were driving to Las Vegas. The cacaphony of fact and fiction lends credence to the theme of disarray.

That hair flick and coy glance - Anna Kendrick clearly has a thing or two for Jake Gyllenhaal in reality.

Instead of the gruesome bits, it is this cheerful clip that grips me.

For it reminds me of the times I was in your car -
When you were at the wheel,
And I was the Happiest girl in the world.

Pillow Torque.

Finally, it burst at the seams.

She cried till there were no more tears.

Time went by.

And then, she cried some more.

Exhausted, she lay her head on the crook of her arm,

And watched as each drop fell from her eyes and disappeared into her pillow.

Her eyelids drew to a close.

For now.

I miss You, Handsome Pup.

But You will never know,
For I cannot let it show.
So I keep it in this hollow,
As poignance greets tomorrow.
