Saturday night was spent having a "Cheesecake Night" with DVDs, with the balcony door open, nice breeze, great company and laughter. I am beginning to wonder if I am at all that welcome around the neighbourhood with such disastrous laughter.
The movie we watched was SILK (please do not even waste 5 mins of your life to watch this). JH, MdM and I pounced on it in the DVD shop thinking that hey, Keira is acting in it.. and the DVD cover looked so good with lilies and all that "it will be a great drama" look to it.
The Plot - wait.. there is one?? Oohh.. the credits started to roll...oh man, we must have missed the plot, or was there any??
Basically, the Lady (aka Keira) just tend to her garden in the entire movie, stating that she want white lilies.. loads of them in the garden. Husband got Lady her garden. Husband went to Japan in search for silk worm eggs to bring back to Britain (the town has a silk factory). Husband was seduced by a Japanese lady whom does not talk, just stares at Husband all the time. Husband went back to Britain. Lady showed Husband her lilies...Eggs had problems. Husband went back to Japan to get more eggs. Japanese lady did the hand thing, dribbling water on Husband when Husband was bathing in one of those Japanese tubs. Husband went back to Britain with 2nd batch of eggs.. Lady showed Husband her lilies. Husband went to Japan the 3rd time to get more eggs and for other reasons.. but unfortunately Japanese lady can't be seen anymore due to civil war. Husband went home disappointed with more lousy batch of eggs, and Lady died. -- Tada --
Sunday - free concert thanks to Mdm being friends with one of the performers. Although I had a general idea how this friend of hers KAT looks like through MdM's blog and youtube, when i saw her. it was knee-buckling for me.. she looked ABSOLUTELY beautiful!! Not to mentioned she had a good voice too. With those expressive eyes, I reckon she will go far more in years to come, selling her music.. I am proud to say she is HALF Kiwi!
It was a GREAT afternoon, lying in the shade with JH, MdM, JC and C, with colourfully garbed attendees and with live music although I do not know the performers until that day. I have to say, I finally found some appreciation for J-music when CARAVAN performed. A mixture of Jap. and Eng. lyrics, harmonica whistling and guitar playing, drums in the background....where else do you find such wonderful Sunday?
