the first part of the movie is bo-bo-ring... just the things which jay and his girlfriend do.. like ferrying her on the bike to her home, playing the piano together and eating apples.. but then there are suspicious points start to pop up, when xiaoyu missed school for days at end and that she was always popping up from the old piano room without attending lessons. when asked, she said that she's praticing.. but then a misunderstanding occurred and xiaoyu ran away, she then didn't go to school for 5 months. initially jay went to find her but somehow she just seemed to have vanished.. strange things occurred then such as the realisation that jay's friends can't see xiaoyu as they saw him dancing by himself, then something quite freaky happened as jay was sitting at a desk and crying in confusion and agitation, as past memories came flashing, like the times when it was obvious other ppl couldn't see her.. then came some words written using liquid ink in the desk... it's like someone was writing on the desk but there was no one.. the words just appeared being written by some invisible person.. the words read," i'm xiaoyu.. i love you.. do u love me.." then after each line jay used the liquid ink which his frens gave him earlier to write his replies..my heartbeat got even faster as the liquid ink began to run out, before he could finish his reply to the last line, in desperation jay just dotted a heart. but after that nothing happened.. leaving jay confused and crushed.. pieces came together when xiaoyu's mum compared jay to the drawing that xiaoyu drew before then strangely she went," i should have believed her..." she gave jay a photo which she took with her teacher, which is jay's father.. he looked younger then he was presently.. jay's father told him the story of xiaoyu.. she was a student of his twenty years ago and one day she confided in him something which has been bothering her for aome time.. out came the story which explained all the strange things that happened.. actually xiaoyu was someone from the past, 20 years ago. one day she found a hidden score under the old piano while she's picking up her inhaler.. the score was titled 'secret'. she opened the book and saw some kind of poem.. she played the score and while she was playing, things in the piano room moved, like a lot of time has passed and things were moving according to the changes of time.. like there are more dust and the building got older.. then she realised that she has come to the future.. then she heard someone coming and so she went to keep the score at a high place using a ladder.. jay came into the room then as he being a new student was exploring the building with the piano rooms.. that was the first time they met then.. xiaoyu then went into depression mode as jay's dad told the story xiaoyu told him to the class monitress even after promising her that he would keep that as a secret.. xiaoyu shared her secret of being able to visit the future when she played the score 'secret' but yet he betrayed her trust.. her classmates started teasing her then and everyone thought that she had gone psychotic.. with her mum blaming her dead hasband for him telling her that learning music makes one elegant and their child has become like this.. thus xiaoyu locked herself in the house for 5 months, refusing to go to school and so couldn't go meet jay in the future.. after jay's dad finished the story and before he could give the score to jay to let him take a look..he realised that jay has disappeared.. he has gone to the old piano room, which is in the building the ppl are demolishing right then.. jay then played 'secret' in the old piano room using the same piano which xiaoyu used to travel between different times, while the building around him were being demolished.. jay's dad had turned the pages of the score and then found something which xiaoyu had written, addressing that message to ye xiang lun, which was his son! thus he knew of the truth and ran all the way to the school even though he was breathless and his heart hurts.. jay succeeded in time, and he went back to the past, before he aws killed by the demolishing equipments..he saw xiaoyu and apparently, that was before xiaoyu came to possess of the 'secret' score.. the last scene was a photo, a class graduation photo, then the scene zoomed into the two figures standing side by side, xiaoyu and jay.. so actually jay went back in time to xiaoyu's time and stayed there, while he went missing in his time, 20 years later.. this movie was a really good one.. i agree with yj that jay was really smart.. he thought of the plot by himself... and the movie was well shot too... who said that this was a vanity project of jay's? he totally had it, i would recommend this to everyone.. like he said, there really was a twist at the end...
went to the day of his power at singapore indoor stadium after that.. whoa there really are a lot of ppl.. some photos..
watched the national day parade on tv.. somehow when the men in white and the president came out, in all that awe-inspiring presence and get-up, i can't feel any admiration for them at all, while fer previous years i always thought that wow, singapore's really fortunate to have them as leaders to guide us and protect us.. but since coming to jc and learning about history and lit, ive opened my eyes to the 'communist' side of the ppl hu govern sg.. furthermore my uncle, anutie and father are discussing about the various things which they hide from us.. what the media choose to broadcast and what they shy away from.. i suppose i understand somehow when my father says that any person in the right mind would support the oppossing party, at that time, i thought that no, our present govt is the best there could be, after all it's lky's party! u can't deny that he really is a talented person who truly has sg's welfare at heart.. auntie and uncle returning to hongkong and perth tmr.. anw, ive decided to get a psp after promos.. i have to get it.. but heard that there's this psp slim.. hmm.. i should save up as much as i can.. im, unfortunately, not one of those ppl who could get whatever they want on the spot from their rich parents.. hmm, think i'll be going for the black one.. pink is totally out, it's a nice colour but this colour is like so bimbotic, i just can't relate pink to gaming gadgets..
