Directed by: Lone Scherfig

Starring: Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess, Patricia Clarkson

Twenty years…two people. Directed by Lone Scherfig (director of “An Education,” Academy Award-nominated for Best Picture), the motion picture “One Day” is adapted for the screen by David Nicholls from his beloved bestselling novel One Day. After one day together – July 15th, 1988, their college graduation – Emma Morley (Academy Award nominee Anne Hathaway) and Dexter Mayhew (Jim Sturgess of “Acros ... s the Universe”) begin a friendship that will last a lifetime. She is a working-class girl of principle and ambition who dreams of making the world a better place. He is a wealthy charmer who dreams that the world will be his playground. For the next two decades, key moments of their relationship are experienced over several July 15ths in their lives. Together and apart, we see Dex and Em through their friendship and fights, hopes and missed opportunities, laughter and tears. Somewhere along their journey, these two people realize that what they are searching and hoping for has been there for them all along. As the true meaning of that one day back in 1988 is revealed, they come to terms with the nature of love and life itself.

There was a love story that is so touching to hearts that I am going to tell you now. All this happen 3 years ago in a company which I work in at that time. While in a lift one day, waiting for the lift to stop at my destination floor. The door swing slowly open and appear before my eye is sweet looking girl standing outside the life. Am so mesmerized by her the moment she look into my eyes when I look into her. Then after seconds of pause, she show a sweetest smile and walk into the lift. From that moment onwards, i found what I am looking for, my true love.

Days gone and i have not seen her again. Maybe she is from another department? Maybe she is a visitor? Maybe she is from oversea branch coming here to work on short assignment? Many thought run through me and trying to find a explanation of seeing her there at the life and not able to find her again after so many days. Then one day, while am at the photocopy machine doing my routine update duplicating for the meeting later, while facing the photocopy machine, i sense someone is standing behind me and watch over me. Then i turn around out of curiosity and when i look behind, i saw her standing right in front of me. Am shocked and stunned. Without knowing what to do or what to say next time i saw is her sweet smile again and ask me if am done photocopying? I don’t what is said neither what i do after that. The next moment i realize my conscious self, i already sit at my desk. What happen? Think i freak out and loss sense of time. What a power she has over me. And in the next few days i always see her at the same photocopy machine at the same time doing her photocopy work. I begin asking around and checking on her with all connection i have in the company, the ! Boss, engineers, workers and even the cleaner to get all soft of information i can about her.

Weeks gone by and each time i meet her, she just smile at me. And i begin to smile back at her. Until finally one day, i took up the courage to talk to her. I found her desk and i just walk over and approach her. The first words i spoke to her is "Can i have your number?". I tell myself, this is not a good way to start a conversation with anyone. I felt so wrong that i think am going to be rejected immediately. My first attempt to court a girl in way is going to fail terrible, and all thought of failure i will have in my future life start to surface, i will fail my exam, loss my job and loss my money in investment. All negative thoughts just fly into my mind the that 2 seconds after i ask her “Can I have your number?"

Then after the pause, came an answer, "ok. My number is xxxx". I took the number and exchange my number to her and left. I went straight to the toilet and WOW! Am feeling like am flying, over joy with happiness like i just! Won 4D! Immediately, i start to sms her, that day, that night and almost every day and almost every night. We talk about so much things, like, dislike, habits, favorites, believes, etc. This continue for months and until one fine day. when i got the courage again to ask her out for dinner. Then came the worst deepest blow of my life. She already got boyfriend.

Sad to say am sad, my life goes on for many months without sms. Am just feeling good that am not breaking up her relationship. Until one day after so many months. She sms me. And i found out that she broke up. And this is a chance which is an opportunity to me to woo her. Then more sms, more talks over the phone and eventually, i ask her out again. This time, she accepted and the our meeting is so happy. And then more meeting until one fine day, I ask her to be my girlfriend. And that day mark the beginning or our loving relationship. We eat together, talk every night, shopping together, go tour together and d! o almost everything that a couple get together for accompany. And we l live happily till this day now. When I look back, i something ponder, why the first question i ask her is for her number? I only now, then i found out the main reason i did that asking for her number is am desperate to see her again as i have quit the job and that is my last day, my last hour, my last minute in that company. So the saying is true, desperate time will have desperate man doing desperate action.

I dedicate this love story to her and our happy days we spend together and which we will spend together in the next decades of our live together. Love

I was not yet able to see the movie entitled “one day” but I think I could relate to it.

It was June 2006. There’s this boy who is 3 years older than me. He courted me when I was still in 3rd year high school. He managed to make me happy and feel loved. We respect, understand and care each other. As months go by, I told it to my loved ones. I really had a hard time deciding whether to say yes or not. After 4 months, I decided to tell him that I’m not yet ready to enter into a relationship. I must focus on my studies and I was so pressured at that time. We decided to let go of each other. Am I desperate? Because it told him to wait for me and I would wait for him. We have to wait for the right time. We cried so much and decided to stop our communication. i really did a good job in school. I graduated in high school with flying honors because of my inspirations- God, family, him, loved ones and friends. When I entered college, same thing happened. I did my best to excel. It was Dec. 2009 when he reappeared. I was really surprised and happy to see the boy I love. I felt alive, loved and secured. We spend time together and shared different memories. We were glad hearing each other’s life experiences. That time, he courted me again. It’s so sad because i declined. Still, my reason was to focus on my studies. I could say that I hurt him so much but I told him “sorry” before we decided again to separate our ways. Just like that, I lost the boy I loved and waited for so long. I was hurt too and I feel guilty. And now, it’s Oct. 2011, this pain I feel inside me, just goes on and on. Now I know I need him and I never should have let him go. I’m still hoping for him to come back. If that time comes, I would never let him go again.

It was at this iconic place in Singapore when I had a date with "the girl".

I got to keep both of our phones and we put it away gently, ensuring that there was absolutely no distraction whatsoever from our phones.

Conversation and our small talks were simply awesome... We had a great time....

Love story do not have to be spectacular with glitz & glamour to the outsiders. As long as both of you enjoy it, that's what it matters!

A good companionship is someone whom you need not say a single word and you will still feel comfortable with. I met someone like that a couple years back. However, he went overseas to study for a couple of years and we lost contact. Recently when he's back, we got contacted back and things somehow have changed a little. Probably we have grown older and have adopted different mindsets.
But nevertheless, friendship still rocks!

"TA" is my puppy love. All my friend envied our loving relationship and I got worse to dedicate in this relationship. 25th Dec 2008, he told me he have another GF already and asked me to forget me. That day is our 5th anniversary, my birthday and Christmas. I cried and begged him do not leave me alone but he ever never turn his head back. After one month, I just realize that his new girlfriend is my best friend. I HATE! HATE HIM. HATE HER. HATE MYSELF.
