Confessions of a dangerous mind Part1
I've told many people that I've always identify myself someone as a person from the 80s or the early 90s.
Those were the times when my father still owns a car.
When I held my 6th birthday at the devilish McDonalds fast food place.
When A&W was still popular.
When we don't even have pagers.
When medical science is on the rise.
When the cold war came to an end. And promise of world peace.
When majority of the world economies promised better life for all.
When Chow Yun Fat, Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan and Leung Chiu-wei graced our silver screens.
When Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Xu Guan Jie, Jacky Cheung dominated the music scene.
When Diego Maradona, Marco Van Basten, Roberto Baggio, Romario are all hailed as footballing gods.
When Mediacorp was still SBC.
When people were still conservative.
When there weren't many university graduates around.
When life ain't so stressful.
When people were still able to pay their bills.
But those are history. There's probably much more things I like about the eighties, early nineties than recent years. Or probably I can imagine myself being a much happier person at that time. Or probably I was a kid then and kids really don't know what's going on around them.
'When I was watching Kung Fu Hustle, I thought about all his previous rubbish shows. Then I thought about chinese movies that I pay to watch. They were pretty much Jacky Chan, Stephen Chow, a little of Leung Chiu-wei. One day these people will disappear from the scene and we really don't have able replacements. The future of chinese movies of mass appeal suddenly looks acutely bleak.'
So am I stuggling to adapt in this era? A person living in the present thinking about life written in the archives.
To be continued.
