The Golden Age of…black and white? O.o
So like, just now I watched this old black and white movie from the P. Ramlee era; Laila and Majnun. Somehow, the absurdity of it never fail to amuse me. Long gone are the days when lovers recite poem to each other to express how they feel or to convey a message. Those were the days when people speak in jargons and flowery langguages to hide their intentions or to clarify their their intentions. You just never see two people quarelling and rhyming and at the same time. One side would burst out laughing before the other one finishes. Imagine going to meet you boyfriend or girlfriend with a piece of paper in your pocket; the rhymes you jot down to ’speak’ to him/her. "Even if the sky was red, and the sea was yellow, I…errr, uhhhh…"
Comparisons:
Past couple: "Your beauty is like that of the full moon my love!" "Aaawww, I love you."
Modern couple: "Your beauty is like that of a full moon my love!" "What!? Does it look like I have a big old crater on my face!?"
How very ironic. The disadvantages of science. hehehehe.
That’d be something hehehe. Every date would be like a poem recital. Is chivalry really dead?!
In that movie, their love is the type of love that could feed a starving family. When the term ‘love will get us through’ was alive. Where did that era go?
Sadly, the greedy father got in the way and they both died. Ah well. Tis not unexpected. Its the Malay version of Romeo and Juliet after all. Just without the balcony. Wait, there was, but wasnt as dramatic as Romeo and Juliet’s.
Fun watch. hehehe. Pardon me though I am a bit of a classic movie fan. Like I said, the absurdity of it never fail to amuse me. Always a good laugh. I prefer watching a classic love story than a modern one. Love was much more meaningful then. Today there’s just…too much drama and such. I like those ‘courting the girl’ scenes when the guy do all kinds of silly stuff. And when he finally got the girl’s attention, they start running around the field, hugging trees and stuff, singing. Hilarity.
Today I found another cupcake recipe I might want to try. Its peanuts cupcake. Main ingredients include chuncky peanut butter and maple syrup. *drools* My one week break would be filled with doing these stuff. One recipe a day.
Oh and tomorrow is Econs test! And its 1 am and I barely studied. I read through the notes. Only took 20 minutes. No I’m not kidding! The notes are only that much! One reason why I like Miss Janice. She stays true to her words and gave us questions based only on the tutorials. I luvvles our lecturer :D!
I guess that’s all to say for now. Umm, wish me luck :D.
Ta’ra!
