Expectations will only lead to disappointment
After starting off the week on such a high note (BSB!!!), the rest of the week seemed sooo empty in comparison!
The day after the climax (concert) wasnt too bad, cos i needed the rest. But it got soooo depressing on thurs that on the spur of the moment, i went to watch a movie! hahah..really!
At 3.15pm, i decided to go watch the 4.05pm show. So basically just washed up, dressed and walked to Causeway Point. hahha..Impressive? Shocked myself by my own actions also! I actually didnt mind watching the show alone! hahha
And as I watched the show, I realised something --- 'Expectations tend to bring about disappointment.'
Still unable to get my hand on the book, Memoirs Of A Geisha (the movie), was good in my opinion. But to those many who have already read the book (lucky idiots!!), the show wasnt as good as the book.
See..expectations formed because the book came out first (same as with Harry Potter). Imagine if it was the other way round! The movie shown before the book was published..Wld it then make the book a greater book than it is now even if the contents were the same?? Confused?
Let's see.... Do you realise that you tend to expect more from people closer to you? One tends to expect more of the opposite party, be it a bf or gf..We usually give them huge shoes to fill in. Probably even before we know them well. Guilty??
Well, i am. After forming this wonderful/cute/perfect image of Nick for TEN years, seeing him LIVE in person on Monday was kinda disappointing to me. He didnt exactly fit the bill. Not how i imagined him to be. It wasnt just the looks. Cos character-wise, he wasnt what i thought of him to be. -shrugs-
What can i say? Expectations only leads to disappointments. [ps. But i still like him though! hahha..]
Moral of the story: Not to expect too much from Da Vinci Code, THE MOVIE (!!) when it comes out in MAY!!! Yup, u 'saw' me right! Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code is going to be shown in theaters soon!!
wooohooo..when i was reading the book, there were a few occasions when i was wishing that they'll make a movie of this book because i wanted to SEE the structures and statues!! Another wish coming true i guess!! hahha..easily sastisfied these days!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!! XING NIAN KUAI LE!!
More happiness for all in the new year!!!
