"even when tears will fall down like rain,
never give up."
No matter how hard it seems
It's time to put on another smile
living beyond yourself for today
living for more than just me everyday
living for the Truth and nothing's gonna change that

= One more chance =
Indeed. I was very captivated by the title of Jack Neo's latest movie in town . Appreciating this movie alone in the theatre, i was deeply moved by the script of this entire flim. It speaks of 3 different stories of how 3 men got themselves into Changni Prison due to the mistakes that they have once committed. Its Conning(Mark Lee), Ilegal gambling & Vandalism(Chen Jian Bin) & Robbery (Henry Thia).
Though many people from English speaking families might think that this is just another ordinary Jack Neo flim, filled with Hokkien language which seem rather vulgar to the current society nowadays as we promote & <>. Hence,Hokkien language which is a familar language is slowly fading away in the limelight of English & in time to come, Chinese.
In fact out of the 3 stories, 3 perspectives of these 3 men, i was most deeply moved by Mark Lee's encounter in the flim followed by Henry Thia. Apart from seeing Changni Prison being brought alive to my naked eyes, I saw what is truly the theme of Father love, forgiveness & most importantly acceptance in the story of Mark Lee. Being sentenced to imprisonment for 10years bu the judge but the society sentenced him to death instead. Even his daughter at times felt so ashamed of having a father who had went to jail before.
Doing some reflections while I was alone, indeed i thought: have i been as ignorant as the daughter in the show in the past ? Maybe i had, but from today onwards... i really want to work towards accepting these people into the society. Again.. This movie reminded me that My God is such a loving God filled with mercy and forgiveness. Oh man... I am truly so blessed to have such a Good God.
The ending part at the church.. WOW.. I almost flood the whole cinema i told u.. we can perhaps swim there.. Hahas, i was SUPER touched by the moment the people took out their yellow ribbons, and i was again.. reminded of the story of the yellow ribbon.. Whereby the wife tied many yellow ribbons on the tree.. Oh man.. HAHA.. i think its super touching lors..
And indeed, after really walking with God.. i realised that now i need not put up a strong front anymore.. cos i am not made strong.. I cry when i feel that i need to cry.. Do not hold them back anymore.. its time to be how a girl should be! yeah!
Shall end here.. This is a super touching movie that will change many prejudice against people who have served a term of imprisonment before. And I can proudly say that I am proud of those people who really took every bit of his courage to stand up to face the society.
Really want to say to these Heroes of my heart.. You guys are really brave and I'll give you my total moral support !! As an individual, i accept people like you guys. Jiayou never give up.. God wants to use all of you in a great way..
