Tempting Hearts Vol 1
Recently my local Chinese video store has a sale on, so I brought 5 VCD for 38 aussie bucks, which is quite cheap. Bare in mind the only Hong Kong movies that I watch is Jet, Jackie and Stephen Chow movies, so my knowledge on HK movies are pretty limited to action movies. So this time to extend my repertoire I tried some drama/romantic comedy and/or comedy action movie.
Surprisingly I last night saw a very thought provoking movie which made me think about my life. The Movie was called "Tempting Heart". It was made in 1999 and supposedly won some awards, but I had no idea when I saw the movie yesterday.
The Movie was basically about a Love Triangle, but not a typical love story.
There was a question which was pose in the beginning of the film, "If you believe that fate decide who you meet and love, does fate also decide when you break-up".
This question echo and resound in my head, it reminded me of the past, reminded me of my first. As they all say you could never forget your first and trust me I tried. Is it wrong to think about your past, about your first when you are with someone else.
I have known her for over 20 years, since primary schools in KL. When I left for Oz, we kept intouch and we finally got together when I came back to KL for my summer holidays. Man was it bliss...After so many years pining someone it was amazing to finally be together. The months we were together went by too quickly and in the end it was time for me to go back to Oz. The pain was excruciating. I could not do any work for months, we were talking on the phone every month and we were writing letters (note: pre-email era...yikes I am old!) to each other every day. I guess it was not surprising that in the end it was too much for her. The waiting, the loneliness, to have someone but yet you can't touch or talk to them when you want. Long Distance Relationship never works.
We promise to keep intouch, we were still good old friends. She even came to Oz to study, but since she was on the other side of the country, it was not easy to see her. We were both in Uni and that took most of out time.
At this stage I still had feeling for her. One time I even planned to go across the country to surprise her. I save up all my money and I check for accommodations and flight ticket, I even got a pressy for her birthday. But in the end, I chicken out... I don't know why but I didn’t do it. I guess I fear that if I go and see her and get rejected again, it would kill me. So I took the easier road.
Years later when we finally meet, it was when she came over to Syd for a holiday. She called me up and ask me if I wanted to meet. And I said, of course. I could remember how excited I was, how much I wanted to see her. When I met her at the lobby of the hotel... I also met Boyfriend.
