fort road


there is something about the scenes and the lines in this short clip that connects with me. and i think it probably connects with lots of other singaporean gay men too, judging by the reported turn out when it was screened recently at the picturehouse. for me, perhaps it is the last parts about who should i blame... questions that i'd ask so frequently long time back. and which i believe are common questions of many gay men still. i no longer ask these questions so frequently now. for that matter, i try to stop asking them altogether. instead, i'd just adopt a `screw-the-society' attitude and ask - how can i make my life as meaningful as it can for myself. no one out there owes me a living. only i myself can make my life worth my own living.

self-pity will never help.

ps: doesn't it also remind you of the air supply song... looking for love in all the wrong places...
