Simple love story movie, talks about a bachelor and his love life. Its kinda enjoying watching this film. Nothing heavy and relaxing. But after the movie, it makes me thought of my own life instead. What do i want? What do i plan? Its all kinda important.
for me is more like the insecurity of life
ReplyDeletekinda like u need to walk out of the comfort
zone sometimes...to test the meaning of life.
alex is hawz though..
