Caught [Yes Man] @ GVPS yesterday with a long-time friend I got to know via the mIRC. Mehhh... it was good! Heh, tbh, I was 100% keen on watching it due to Jim Carrey. Yeah, he's supposed to be a funny guy and his movies are supposed to be funny... but toilet humor & exaggerated face contorting tends to get old after awhile - to the point of pure aggravation. I get the same kinda feeling when I watch Stephen Chow too. Bahh!!

Anyway ~ I agreed to watch it coz the synopsis sounds interesting. And interesting it sure was.

In short, the movie is about this not-too-interesting guy. His life is a repetition. Dead-end everyday job, single, nights alone watching rented dvds. He doesn't socalise much, he doesn't go out much, always making up excuses when his friends ask him out. Apparently he does so coz he reckons he doesn't have much to give and is afraid that ppl will find out about it. His life did a complete u-turn after he attended this seminar that resulted in him making a covenant with himself: to say Yes everytime a choice presents itself.

Guess that applies to real life as well. Everytime a person says no, the person closes the door on a probability. Perhaps we should learn to take the plunge more often & not worry about the outcome too much. Life is short, we should enjoy it while we can. How many times have I heard that line already? Everytime we hesitate, we do so out of fear - and that fear is most likely our downfall. Mhmm... yeah, I guess it's easier said than done. Ignoring those nagging thoughts and give ourselves a go ahead. We all just need to say Yes more often. Obviously it doesn't mean agreeing to something against our morales/values and all. As the protagonist in the movie eventually found out, saying Yes depends on the situation.

Makes me wonder. Should I try that out for myself??
