Sharing session of movie again...This is actually a movie which I caught 2 weeks ago.. not been updating my blog lately.. not busy at work but just plain lazy.. but anyway.. introducing IP man..
Ip Man is adapted from the life story of Ip Man, the grand master of the Wing Chun style of kung fu and sifu (master) of legendary kung fu superstar Bruce lee. Wing Chun has a history of more than 200 years. It was founded by Yim Wing Chun, took root in the hands of Leung Chun, and prospered with Ip Man. The art of Wing Chun has now become very popular with martial arts enthusiasts, especially overseas. It is a traditional Chinese martial art with a formidable reputation internationally.
To this date, there have been neither movies nor publications about Ip Man. This movie will be the first important record of the masters life. Ips persistent devotion to Wing Chun is a classic example of the love and respect shown to wushu and the freedom and spirit it represents. This movie will see the making of a modern wushu master representative of Chinese people worldwide. Ip Man is a concept, a spirit, a way of thinking and it represents a new peak in Hong Kongs wushu movies.(extracted from www.gv.com.sg)
A really nice movie with laughter and sadness.. yes.. I did sniff my nose and supressing my tears coz I dont wanna be caught by my friends.. It showcase the patriotism of IP for his country.. when we are supressed under a more superior power, do we subccumb to circumstances or do we hold a fight to get back what belong to us?? I definitely hold my admiration for him because I know I def would end up as the former.. wonder at times why do pple declare war against each other.. arent victims always the pple of the country.. do the leaders ever think of the sufferings that might be implanted because of their greed or to show superioty?? just like the bombings incidents that are happening.. is showing who's the boss at the expense of human sufferings more impt?? haiz..
Today event at the welfare home of my volunteering sets me thinking again.. I really admire the director of the home.. everyone might think that he must be someone who's very senior or prob balding (baddie me!!) but he's less than 30.. he is willing to give up monetary benefits for the betterment of the less privilge.. this selfless act is something I really admire.. I can see the care he has for the old folks there and is sincere in helping them to integrate back into the society.. I ever once told mummy I wanna work my life as a volunteer.. even thought of just secretly leave the country telling no one (prob just my parents) to help pple around the world.. prob my departure wouldnt even be noticed?? being a soft girl, I tot thats smthg that really suits me.. just like a family svc centre I went, the lady said I had the calibre for a social worker.. but mummy said no.. I guess I cant give up the monetary benefits that holding a job would give me.. branded goods, good food, nice clothes.. I guess most girls loves all of them.. money is smthg which is most impt to me at present.. I know its not everything but its def smthg you cant do without.. even going toilet need money!! nothing comes free.. I'm in the blind chase for material life..
I lost lots of chances along the journey of life & hope I'll never again but guess its only when it slips do we realise the wrong turn.. opportunity only comes once so grab hold of it when it comes knocking.. at times I find comfort in the current zone & hate to get out of it.. no matter how bad or how bored it is, I'm still stuck.. my tolerance level is really high I must say.. till the day I break down is the day I had enough?? I wish giving up is so easy to attain.. who doesnt have dreams?? but nothing seems to work no matter how hard I try.. trying is not enough, you need the luck.. harping on it doesnt help but I'm still holding on to it, hoping for a day that it might come true.. my friend said I'm crazy to even think of it but I hate to give up when I tried so hard..
I think age is catching up on me.. think too much these days.. not looking fwd to next wk.. smile or frown will be dependent on what happen on Thurs but I'm prepared for the worst.. am I really?? arrggghhhh!!!
