"From the warm light of her sleeping baby's nursery, the curve of her husband's arm, the soft embrace of an old friend, the anonymous narrator of THE MOTHER'S TALE whispers to you her intimate fears, her deepest held desires. In the suburbs, a young mother is looking after her two children. She used to be a successful career woman in control of her life and with her husband's undivided attention. But now her control is slipping away. Motherhood is devouring her life. She is desperate to reclaim her sense of self, even if that means thinking the unthinkable. From its softly lit beginning to its explosive, emotional conclusion THE MOTHER'S TALE takes the reader on a journey to the dark recesses of one woman's heart and mind; right to the truths that are never spoken, the thoughts that are not written about. THE MOTHER'S TALE is a taut, beautifully constructed book which, once begun, cannot be put down, told by a narrator who will not be easily forgotten. It engages and confronts, and will provoke discussion for a long time to come."
Came across this book review in today's ST. Author is Camilla Noli. It is abt a distraught mother and her struggle with her identity, motherly responsibilities n worth. This book is not one of those inspiring kind rather much the opposite. Dun think I shld read it since I am alr so skeptical abt being a mother... It might just deter me more :p
Maybe 1 day I will read it if I overcome my reservations....
Life is so boring..... boring boring boring! Dun care abt other ppl alr. I need energy! I want to do so many things.... he can either catch up or let go....
Just watch this classic on okto. Sweet story, beautiful actress....
乱世儿女，恩怨情长。我好幸运不是出世在那年代.....
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
It was this song that prompted me to watch this classic
"Casablanca - Bertie Higgins"
I love this song, or the 80's love songs for that matter.
I love all things classic.. including these black and white movies. Though they look outdated compared to our modern technology, there is something special in them. Maybe it's the songs, maybe it's the charisma of the actors or maybe just simply the effects of black and white that rouses nostalgic feelings.
I love their hairdo, I love their dresses, I love their makeup... hmm... maybe I should be in a museum... :p
Have heard abt this condo project from various medias. Always wanted to see for myself. Finally got a call today to the location. Was very breezy and really nice view. Too bad the patient came down from her room herself. Would have like to go up and kaypo the house a bit... :p
Security is tight now so I guess it will not be easy to explore by myself. Really wanted to see for myself the unique structure of the building. Have always liked the older projects cos units are much much bigger then the pigeon holes we have now......
