FliRTiNg WitH FoRtY..

today, i was in my room browsing the tv channels when i saw this movie on screen "Flirting with Forty".. At first i thot this movie is just a common tv drama since i didn't know any of the actors & actresses.

After watched it for 10 minutes, i realized that this movie is quite interesting.. The movie is about a divorced mother approaching her 40th birthday falls for a younger man (27 years old) while on vacation at Miami. The way the young man approached her is so sweet. It makes me want to fell in love all over again. *Dupdap* Dupdap* ;) My heart beat went haywire.. hehe.. ;;) terasa nk bercinta balik.. hehe.. :x

When the mother need to break-up the relationship, i cried.. :( because they love each other so much, it's just that nobody understand the relationship.. Her friend was scared that she might be lied to, her kids is scared that she might need to move to Miami... it's was sad.. but in the end, everyone understand and she planned to go back and find the guy.. but guess what??? the young man come over to her house one day before she travel.. and he seems so sincere.. wahh.... no i feel all mushy mushy again.. hehe... :x

it is so good to know that woman at their 40 is still look good and people find them interesting to talk to..

okies.. i think this is it for now... want to go down and cook Meggi curry with egg.. i am bored with the camp food already..
