Funeral - MCYS ad
Getting busy these days with work and gym classes... My tummy's almost all gone now... Need to work harder to get rid of the love handles and to tighten and tone up the thighs and butt... :p But the weight's plateauing out now, though... Hmm... Wondering if its becos the muscles are building at the same time the fats are burning off... I remembered this is also the weight I plateaued at when I was putting on weight... :p
Anyway, I saw this ad on TV and I just cry and cry... So I just wanna share it with you all...
I especially agrees when she said in the ad, its those snores that comfort you in the end, knowing that your partner is still well and alive beside you... When Boy had problems with his snoring, causing him to be cut off from breathing when he sleeps, I will constantly be worried about him, waiting at night to hear him snore, cos that how I will find out if he is still breathing... Now that he had an operation done, he does not suffer from apnia anymore though he still snores... :p But I had learnt to accept them and now, apparently, it is his turn to complain about me snoring!
Anyway... Enjoy this moving short clip, titled, 'Funeral', directed by the critically acclaimed and award winning film director, Yasmin Ahmad, and commissioned by Singapore's Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports.
Now I just wish they can accept the fact that 2 homosexual people can also form a family with bonds and love as strong as and sometimes stronger than a 'straight' family...
Thanks for reading...
