08.08.08...what is there for me to remember for this special day? [Oh well of course besides working in the day...hehe...lol]
#1: Meeting up with Daryl and Huiling!
#2: Midnight movie with the girls!
We went to watch the Jack Neo's new movie Money Not Enough 2 at Orchard Cineleisure as a support to the local movie industry! Hehehe...lol
From left to right: Sing Yee -- the one who is a counsellor @ MINDEF, Xue Fang, Ellouise, & Xinyi -- the one who played the saxophone! =P
Supper-ing @ Billy Bomber before the show starts! =P

My dears in the cell group: Baoli and Florentine! =D
After watching Money Not Enough 2, I guess my money is really not enough too! Hehehe...lol
The show is about a local family where there are 3 brothers who fall into financial difficulties after they have failed in their business. They ran to their mum, without telling the others, for help in their bad times and totally forgotten about her again and again. Yet, the mother who loves her son so well, continue to give again and again in all the ways she can....even until her very last breath...It is a story that is hilarious yet very touching. It reminds us of how often we could just take things for granted, especially take our parents for granted. And yet, do you know how much our parents love us?
I remember there is a Chinese saying: "No parent in this world would not love their children." The actress who act as the mother in the show give her jewelleries, all her money, her bank book and whatever she can find whenever her sons came to her asking for money.
She didn't ask when they need to return the amount back to her, but instead she would ask them: Is this enough? Even the very last savings she had for her survival, she gave it away. She was not rich, she needed those money on her own too. Yet, she suffered in silence and cried to herself alone. She didn't even want to let her sons know how she feel for she would worry if it would affect them. Gosh...what an agape love, an unconditional love she had for her sons!
The sons, who only thought about themselves all the time, didn't appreciate and acknowledge her of what she did for them until she was gone for good. The mum, died because she plugged out her own tube in order she could die and donate her O- blood to her granddaughter who needs the rare blood type for her surgery at that moment. You can see even with her very last breath and strength, all that is in her mind is her sons and their children. How great this love is! Do we see ourselves there in the movie?
I am not a local movie fan though. In fact, this is the 2nd local movie I ever watched in my life and the very first Jack Neo's movie. Yet this is good and I highly recommend you guys to watch it too! The story is meaningful and I cried for almost half of the show! There is a common grace here. As a christian, it reminds me of Jesus sacrifice for us. As a daughter, it reminds me of my mum's unconditional love for me despite of our totally different and clashing character and stubborness.
You can CHOOSE to deny it is there but you know by denying it with your mouth does not equal to the feeling you feel in your heart. Stop all that you do and listen...can you hear what is your heart tellling you?
I look forward to many more meaningful movies like this. So far Jack's movie has always goes with a moral behind every movie he made...and with a very good value in terms of family, friendship, and many other social issues. I can see the rising up of Singapore movie industry ya? =D
Well done Jack Neo! *thumbs up*
