caught the show bcos of the good movie reviews from all the major papers. also quite curious how the show so called 'resurrected van's career'.
the movie revolves around van, how he flopped his musical career in taipei and went back to his hometown to become a mailman. instead of delivering post around the neighbourhood, he ended up throwing all the mails in his house and nua-ing his life away. den 1 day he received a parcel addressed to a ms tomoko staying in 海角七号 but there was no such address to be found. so van opened the box and read the letters...
in the meantime, the town got buzzed up because a japanese 天王 is coming to perform. but before he can do so, the town's 'local band' have to get the show started. this is a poor and old town with zero musical talent. its amazing how an audition brought 6 musicians from different walk of life together to form this 'local band'. and this also brought to life a love story between the lead singer and the manager of the band.
ok, back to the letters... the letters came from a japanese soldier who was sent home from taiwan after jap lost WWII. he left ms tomoko in remorse after the war but misses her so much he penned the 7 letters on his boat journey back. he died after living 60 yrs in regrets. after his death, his grandchild found the letters and post it to ms tomoko. must say the letters v touching. i dunno how to describe... think it will be good if i can find the exact wordings and post here. oh~ in the end van managed to find the postee and delivered the parcel to her.
anywayz, must say this show not bad... although slow moving and alot in hokkien, it a not bad show overall. at least my 2 hours not wasted lor. so catch it if u need a lovey dovey love story to spice up your love life LOL
-----------------------------------
第一封
一九四五年十二月二十五日
友子，太阳已经完全没入了海面
我真的已经完全看不见台湾岛了
你还站在那里等我吗？
友子，
请原谅我这个懦弱的男人
从来不敢承认我们两人的相爱
我甚至已经忘记
我是如何迷上那个不照规定理发
而惹得我大发雷霆的女孩了
友子
你固执不讲理、爱玩爱流行
我却如此受不住的迷恋你
只是好不容易你毕业了
我们却战败了
我是战败国的子民
贵族的骄傲瞬间堕落为犯人的枷
我只是个穷教师
为何要背负一个民族的罪
时代的宿命是时代的罪过
我只是个穷教师
我爱你，却必须放弃你
第二封
第三天
该怎麼克制自己不去想你
你是南方艳阳下成长的学生
我是从飘雪的北方渡洋过海的老师
我们是这麼的不同
为何却会如此的相爱
我怀念艳阳…我怀念热风…
我犹有记忆你被红蚁惹毛的样子
我知道我不该嘲笑你
但你踩著红蚁的样子真美
像踩著一种奇幻的舞步
愤怒、强烈又带著轻挑的嬉笑…
友子，我就是那时爱上你的…
多希望这时有暴风
把我淹没在这台湾与日本间的海域
这样我就不必为了我的懦弱负责
第三封
友子
才几天的航行
海风所带来的哭声已让我苍老许多
我不愿离开甲板，也不愿睡觉
我心里已经做好盘算
一旦让我著陆
我将一辈子不愿再看见大海
海风啊，为何总是带来哭声呢？
爱人哭、嫁人哭、生孩子哭
想著你未来可能的幸福我总是会哭
只是我的泪水
总是在涌出前就被海风吹乾
涌不出泪水的哭泣，让我更苍老了
可恶的风
可恶的月光
可恶的海
第四封
十二月的海总是带著愤怒
我承受著耻辱和悔恨的臭味
陪同不安静地晃荡
不明白我到底是归乡
还是离乡！
傍晚，已经进入了日本海
白天我头痛欲裂
可恨的浓雾
阻挡了我一整个白天的视线
而现在的星光真美
记得你才是中学一年级小女生时
就胆敢以天狗食月的农村传说
来挑战我月蚀的天文理论吗？
再说一件不怕你挑战的理论
你知道我们现在所看到的星光
是自几亿光年远的星球上
所发射过来的吗？
哇，几亿光年发射出来的光
我们现在才看到
几亿光年的台湾岛和日本岛
又是什麼样子呢？
山还是山，海还是海
却不见了人
我想再多看几眼星空
在这什麼都善变的人世间里
我想看一下永恒
遇见了要往台湾避冬的乌鱼群
我把对你的相思寄放在其中的一只
希望你的渔人父亲可以捕获
友子，尽管他的气味辛酸
你也一定要尝一口
你会明白…
我不是抛弃你，我是舍不得你
我在众人熟睡的甲板上反覆低喃
我不是抛弃你，我是舍不得你
第五封
天亮了，但又有何关系
反正日光总是带来浓雾
黎明前的一段恍惚
我见到了日后的你韶华已逝
日后的我发秃眼垂
晨雾如飘雪，覆盖了我额上的皱纹
骄阳如烈焰，焚枯了你秀发的乌黑
你我心中最后一点余热完全凋零
友子…
请原谅我这身无用的躯体
第六封
海上气温16度
风速12节、水深97米
已经看见了几只海鸟
预计明天入夜前我们即将登陆
友子…
我把我在台湾的相簿都留给你
就寄放在你母亲那儿
但我偷了其中一张
是你在海边玩水的那张
照片里的海没风也没雨
照片里的你，笑得就像在天堂
不管你的未来将属於谁
谁都配不上你
原本以为我能将美好回忆妥善打包
到头来却发现我能携走的只有虚无
我真的很想你！
啊，彩虹！
但愿这彩虹的两端
足以跨过海洋，连结我和你
第七封
友子，我已经平安著陆
七天的航行
我终於踩上我战后残破的土地
可是我却开始思念海洋
这海洋为何总是站在
希望和灭绝的两个极端
这是我的最后一封信
待会我就会把信寄出去
这容不下爱情的海洋
至少还容得下相思吧！
友子，我的相思你一定要收到
这样你才会原谅我一点点
我想我会把你放在我心里一辈子
就算娶妻、生子
在人生重要的转折点上
一定会浮现…
你提著笨重的行李逃家
在遣返的人潮中，你孤单地站著
你戴著那顶…
存了好久的钱才买来的白色针织帽
是为了让我能在人群中发现你吧！
我看见了…我看见了…
你安静不动地站著
你像七月的烈日
让我不敢再多看你一眼
你站得如此安静
我刻意冰凉的心，却又顿时燃起
我伤心，又不敢让遗憾流露
我心里嘀咕，嘴巴却一声不吭
我知道，思念这庸俗的字眼
将如阳光下的黑影
我逃他追…我追他逃…
一辈子
我会假装你忘了我
假装你将你我的过往
像候鸟一般从记忆中迁徙
假装你已走过寒冬迎接春天
我会假装…
一直到自以为一切都是真的！
然后…
祝你一生永远幸福！

its kinda amazing how rollercoaster my love life has been for the past 3ish years. i was toking to my boss today and all of a sudden (and god noes y) i started to tok abt PY's incident that happened like 3 yrs back. think cos the yr is ending and the haunting 31 Dec is nearing? i was scrolling back my old blog and surprisingly, i din blog about tt incident AT ALL! hmm... anywayz, ya... this 3ish years has been crazy for me lor... falling in and out and in and out of love. and my poor heart... i always wonder how it can survive so many wounds in my pursuit of love. i must have a strong heart LoL
i thank god for everything he gave me includings all the failures, rejections and betrayals. i sincerely do. In doing so, he trained me to be a better person... in loving her and to be loved by her. i always hope this destination will be the final destination but it doesnt seem to be the case. nontheless, i carry on pursuing my happiness with faith. it can be frustrating and painful but like wat people always say, you'll have to pay a price for all good things. i dunno wat the road is like for us ahead and honestly i fear what lies ahead. its a 莫明 feeling i get out of the blue. but whatever it is, i noe i wun be spending this new yr eve alone~

i dun mind a sassy gf~
very inspired to blog tonite. it has been 3 days since SH's wedding but the kolics are still gossiping about lame incidents tt occurred tt nite. my most unforgettable moment was getting choh by sapp. hahaha... cant believe i can be so happy about getting whacked up down left right by a woman...so unlike ck rite? =P
but ya... that nite was damn farnie lor. i was suppose to pick sapp up after sending my folks to downtown east. as i was getting late for the wedding (all thanks to my vainess), i sms-ed sapp 'come down' at the junction before her house. then i suddenly v urgent lor... guess the aircon was too cold and the journey too long. so when sapp happily boarded my car and fastened her seatbelt, i turned to her, calling her name in a very niang voice... telling her i wan to xu xu. hahaha... u shd have seen her reaction tt moment (pity i din get to video it). she opended her eyes super big and ROARED at me lor! muarhahaha... machiam a tiger waiting to eat me up liddat. den kept choh me lah. den it looked so comical cos she dressed up super demure but kept hurling vulgarities lor. hohoho... and worse is she asked me to park at the unloading bay for awhile but i kept insisting on going up the multi storey carpark cos my kolic ever got fined for illegal parking at unloading bay. so i L L drove up the multi storey even when she continued to choh me along the way. i also v guai lan... kept whining i wan to xu xu... hahaha... lagi pissed her off but also made her super panic lor. she even dropped the keys when opening the door. gao xiao ah~
den today we tok about going to matlida's house for ghost haunting. someone actually mentioned i more scare of sapp den ghost... which i think is damn farnie lor. not say its not true lah... but at times i really scare of sapp cos she doesnt use punctuations when she speaks. muarhahaha... actually, i have had quite a few r/s but so far none of my ex is truely a sassy gal leh. maybe su is a little bit but not totally like sapp. so i think its not too bad to try a sassy gf afterall. hohoho... OH~ dun get the wrong idea har... sapp is married btw LOL
