[Sun Breaks Through, Mono Lake] – Buck Forester on Flickr, 2nd Sep ‘06.

This is one hell of a backdated movie review, since I watched it even before the Bangkok trip. Then again, it still is the most recent movie that I’ve watched heh. Talk about being outdated.

The movie tickets were freebies courtesy of Sony Pictures, and we got them almost two weeks after the movie started screening -.- Talk about bad timing. Ah well, what matters is that we got to watch it for free in the end : )

This Adam Sandler flick starts out as a seemingly too-good-to-be-true tale, then slowly sinks the claws of reality into you. Nothing you get for free is ever free after all, and the moral of the story leads you to realise that time is ever precious, and fast forward should never ever be an option in life, even if it’s available?

It tends to lead one into a contemplative mood though; what would you fast forward in your life, if given a choice?

And one very important moral of the story? Family comes first. We might say that working hard for your family in order to give them better quality of life is something important, but quality time spent together with the family is something irreplaceable, especially during your kids’ childhood days. There’s always a balance to be struck, but seldom is the balance found.

Would you like your child to remember you as someone who’s never around?

Lay back and enjoy life as it is rather than slogging your life away, that’s what I think.
