Entry: my best fren's wedding Wednesday, September 22, 2004





'and when i woke up, the world was how it should be' julia roberts - my best friend's wedding

chanced upon this movie the other day whilst waiting for the repeat of the amazing race on axn. this wasnt my first time catching it as it has been shown a couple of times on tv. however, it felt like my first time watching it as i had relevations from it as i never had before.

julia spoke the above statement while embarking upon her speech as the maid of honour for her best fren's wedding, a guy she used to love and still love. they didnt stay tog and thruout their 9 years apart, julia still loved him terribly but to her, pride was much more important. alas, the drama unfolds as the guy found a new love and was about to wed her. julia connived to break the both of them up so as to reunite with her love. hmhm that may not be really ethical, but then when can matters of the heart ever be rational? instead of viewing her as a conniving bitch, this time when i watched it, i admired her for being determined and courageous enough to pursue her cause instead of leaving things to uncontrollable elements like fate, though she did not realise that she has long lost it. she may seem silly but i guess when u think with ur heart more than with ur head, irrationality sets in. someone once told me,'u can control how u think, but u cant control how u feel'. how true....

after her gay fren delivered the sad truth, 'look the best fren (cant rem their names) is chasing after the fiancee, and you are chasing after the best fren. but then, who's chasing after you?' the answer -> nobody. reality is sad, dreams are sweet. perhaps tat is why many of us would rather indulge in these dreams rather than taking a reality check on matters. and even though waking up is tough and sad, our stay on earth is too short to be indulging in sweet sleep...hmm..easy to say, not easy to do....=)
