Waiting in vain?

Watched The Terminal tonight with Maggie, Jason and the rest of the IC peeps at Eastwood. It's a pretty good film, considering the fact that everything pretty much happens in an airport for like, what, 9-10 months? Tom Hanks' russian accent was well, interesting, my seatmate was telling me she could barely understand any of it, only catching the last few words he'd say in his dialogue (she grew up in Russia). No matter,it's the story that made an impression on me all the same.

It's very much a family/romantic film, with Tom Hanks' lovable character getting into these scenarios which, if i was him, would make me go nuts (imagine living in an airport for 9 months, not being able to even go out to breathe some 'fresh' air). Catherine Zeta's role was quite a change (she looked less glamorous, albeit lovely as ever) and the funny sidekicks were a sight to see (Raja's plate tricks were a riot). Still, I kept getting irked with some "disney" moments though, and some parts in the middle kinda dragged. But altogether, the movie was really sweet.

The theme was kinda depressing though, for me at least. The whole "waiting" scenario rang a little too close to home,a nd the fact that it was set in New York with certain areas which pertain to certain people, well, that kinda made me sniff a bit.
The whole waiting to call, to contact, the inability to be certain on things/issues, well, that got to me.

*sniff* I really miss him.

Ok, the peeps. Got to meet Amy and Sabrina, as well as Zaki tonight. Nice peeps! We had dinner at Pho Hoa, this Vietnamese restaurant in Eastwood while waiting for the show. Couldn't really tell if i was hungry enough or not, so i just got me pudding and a mango juice (my so-called diet, haha). We then proceeded to watch the movie, which turned out to be pretty good. The airconditioning was a killer though. I thought my feet were frozen, i couldn't really feel much after the movie (and i was wearing woolly socks!) Goodthing i bought me a pack of my fave ciggys to i can defrost after the movie. As Gunther (of Friends) once said: "ahh, the smoky teat of Mother's darkness, i suckle on you once again!" (eeew.)

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, boy,
My heart says follow t’rough.
But I know, now, that I’m way down on your line,
But the waitin’ feel is fine:
So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string,
’cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb;
I wanna know when you’re gonna come - soon.
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love,
’cause if summer is here,
I’m still waiting there;
Winter is here,
And I’m still waiting there.

Like I said:
It’s been three years since I’m knockin’ on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there’s lots of grief,
But your love is my relief:
Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waiting - while I’m waiting for my turn,
See!

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love, oh!
I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna -
