Days of Being Wild- 阿飞正传

Some time ago, I was asked this question,

".....Why Joo Chiat? What you do like about Joo Chiat?....."

I guess, it is probably the feelings from the movie ~Days of Being Wild- 阿飞正传~ that lingers on, even til now.

Watch this clip, and pay attention around the 40th second, the transition from a fast-walking to a slow-motion Leslie Cheung. It is like the portrayal of a city dweller walking into an area where time slows. And that is the relaxed feel I get whenever I jalan jalan around Joo Chiat.
