The Eighties

I have three things left to complete. Not in order of importance:

1. EYE
2. SEM
3. HRC (to vet)

Notice all the acronyms. Those of you who are Potters like me will understand what these three mean.

Anyway, it's a nice Sunday morning. Just been chided by mummy dearest for not wanting to go to the market (Geesh.. market? On Sunday morning?!?!) with her and my dad. Usually, the two of them go together sans me but recently, my dad develops a back problem; he can't sleep (because the back hurts) and has problem walking. So as the daughter, I am supposed to accompany them so that I can help to carry the groceries. After my gentle refusal (imagine me saying.. Don't want la.. I help you carry the groceries from the door), my mum engaged in her soliloquy about filial piety or something about what kind of daughter I am. By then, I already closed my bedroom door. Bad daughter..

I was surfing the net when I came across three of my favourite 80s films.

I've watched all three and it is amazing how vividly I can remember certain parts of the films.

In The Breakfast Club, I remembered the dance steps. Then, it was quite cool; the whole movie was about teen angst and students in detention (didn't know that detention can be that fun). Judd Nelson's aquiline nose, piercing blue eyes and stylo-milo hair were the highlights of the movie to me. Plus, there was Molly Ringwald. She with her red hair and bee stung lips; I always like to watch her act.

Molly Ringwald also acted in Pretty in Pink, a movie that made me so excited about prom. There was Andrew McCarthy too, one super handsome guy acting as the hero.

Some Kind of Wonderful is the another 80s show which is a must watch. I love Eric Stolz! He has this distinctive voice and he is always very lost; you know, 'to be or not to be' that kind of thing. Not that he wanted to attempt suicide (to side track, this line from Hamlet is about Hamlet contemplating to commit suicide). Mary Stuart Masterson's hair was so 'in' then. Too bad I couldn't achieve that look. Haahaa..

One 80s film which I have not watched is St Elmo's Fire. The theme song is great (of course, it's by David Foster) and one of the soundtracks, Man in Motion by John Parr is usually played in Class95. Featuring the 80s Bratpack, it was quite famous then. Trying to find it online but it's quite difficult.

Anyone has it?
