Bonding

It probably started with the original. The benchmark. Sean. But he somehow doesn't do it for me. Must be the era thing with me. My first Bond was Timothy Dalton.

The BCB on the main road where we stay, that used to be my grandfather's tailor shop. And now I remember why I grew up where I grew up. My dad wanted to be near his dad. And my mom wanted to be near her mom. And so we moved from PJ when I was born.

I remember the tailor shop vaguely. Most of the memory I have of my grandfather was muchly associated with brandy.

Oh yeah, the tailor shop. Next door to the tailor shop was the infamous Lido Theatre. We used to sneak over to watch free movies. My first Bond was in that cinema. The Living Daylights. And the fact that A-Ha sang it, didn't even make a difference. But Morten Harket certainly made an impression on my sis.

Oh, I so loved growing up with my sis. And how amazing her influence has been in my life.

With the Bond Marathon currently running on Star Movies, I have caught 4 of them, with the exception of Dr. No. (never really been my favourite and I don't get it about Ursula Andress in the bikini? DOH?) Oh yeah, my mom said men liked women that looked like that back then. I wouldn't know.

*coo* More Bond on Monday :-)
