Love letters

July25

One thing that I noticed when I was at the mall last night was that… there were SOOOOO many people!

Before my movie (around 9pm), there were tons of people queuing up to buy tickets and their popcorn/drink at the cinema lobby.

After my movie (around 12am), there were just as many people! :-O

I was telling MichC, these people don’t have work, is it?! Am I the only one who needs to go home and get some sleep before getting up early for work the next day?!

MichC was telling me that she discovered that there seems to be a lot of people who are freelancing, at whatever jobs they are doing. Since she’s also one of them, she’s been going to malls during working hours and she says the malls are always packed!

Anyway, the movie was fun. Quite the typical chick flick but there were some nice clothes and shoes ;)

In the movie, Carrie was reading a book… can’t remember the exact title of the book but it contained love letters from famous men to their lovers like Beethoven, Napolean, Keats, Van Gogh, etc.

This was one she read, from Beethoven, taken from here :

    Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us -
I can live only wholly with you or not at all -
Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits -
Yes, unhappily it must be so -
You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart – never – never -
Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves.
And yet my life in V is now a wretched life -
Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men -
At my age I need a steady, quiet life – can that be so in our connection?
My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day – therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once -
Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together -
Be calm – love me – today – yesterday – what tearful longings for you – you – you – my life – my all – farewell.
Oh continue to love me – never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours

The part that I remember most was the last 3 lines. Haha…

No, I’m not into soppy love letters but I guess watching soppy chick flicks does things to you :P

Big said that those guys had to write those letters coz they were forced to be apart from their lovers. Haha… typical male.
