Ethan Mao

Did nothing much today. woke up only at about noon and went to bedok reservoir - not to run. The National Dragonboat competition will be held there on 1 and 2nd july. It's was the first day today. Went there to take photos and it was rather saddening. not much good pictures to take.. and with the camera i was having, making it worse. no tele lens.

Came home after that. was supposed to go to all saints church for a memorial service for both my grandmothers. but was too tired, so didn't. Went online and chatted, and tried to sleep at 5pm. woke up at almost 8pm. i don't know if i slept at all a not. i was just tossing and turning around in bed. After waking up, i decided to watch the DVD that dom passed to me last week. Ethan Mao. It's a nice movie and i cried.. i really cried - i didn't tear - i cried coz it was so touching. it's so nice.. so sweet...

that brings me to a another topic - coming out. i shall write about that another time perhaps. my friend/collegue blogged about her coming out. you may read about it here at http://cryce.blogspot.com/ in the 30 June, Friday post.

More about Ethan Mao:

A psychological thriller, a coming-of-age drama, a gay love story, and a black comedy, Ethan Mao tells the story of an 18-year-old boy reaching the point of no return.

Booted out of his house for being gay, Ethan Mao survives on the street as a hustler. There he meets 19-year-old Remigio, a drug dealer and fellow hustler who takes him in. After being tipped off by his younger brother that his family is going on a day trip on Thanksgiving Day, Ethan asks Remigio for a ride to his family house to collect his belongings.

On that fateful day, Ethan’s family returns early to discover he and Remigo are looting the house. His father is shocked and enraged and forces Ethan into a physical confrontation. Holding his father at gunpoint, Ethan demands that his manipulative stepmother return his deceased mother’s diamond necklace only to find out she is keeping it in a safety deposit box at the bank.

IWith Remigio by his side, Ethan decides to hold his family hostage until the bank opens the next morning. In the waning desperate hours, Ethan, his family and Remigio are forced to confront their unresolved conflicts and feelings. As the tensions between Ethan and his family escalate, their inner demons and secrets unravel in this suspenseful and touching drama.

And i just received a latest news, well, not news actually, my friend would be delayed in returning. not today but tomorrow. my guess is that he can't get a flight back. so i dun think i'll be going to church after all... FCBC? maybe...

Goodnight people... Think i'm getting insomnia from dom.. Blessed people...
