* EDITED 

Almost forgot,

there were greeting cards for guests to fill.

I wrote my blessing, 

the sisters provided some sticker to D.I.Y paste on ur card.

I wanted to choose some MANLY sticker but only those cute cute ones left.

Boh pian, cute one time bah.

那些年我们一起追的女孩(You are the apple of my eye)

 

Cast:

Ke Zhendong (柯震東), Michelle Chen (陈妍希)

Story:

Ko-Teng (柯震東) and his close friends 

was going after the same girl Shen Chia-Yi (陈妍希) in school.

Once Ko-Teng took the blame for Shen Chia-Yi 

when she forgotten to bring her textbook 

and thus was punished by school teacher.

Touched, she developed a liking towards him and 

pressured him to improve his grades.

With the girl waiting for the guy to express his love,

will the love-timid Ko-Teng succeed?

 How I feel:

I've heard good reviews abt his movie,
and certainly it did not fail to capture hearts.

Shot in 台偶像剧's style,

it has the ingredients of our childhood memories-
guys not studying hard,
guys playing pranks in class,
few guys after the same girl,
girl having more matured thinking than guy,
guy not understanding girl,
worse of all- not ripping what you sow in love.

I bet u'll encounter at least one of the above.

Just tat when they say all the guys after the same girl,
all of them actually just say say only.
Not much action frm them.

I just like the ending, the part when they want to kiss the bride.
When Ko-Teng jumped forward everyone in the theatre
laughed, cheered, and clapped their hands in approval and dismay.

Wow the atmosphere was spectacular!
Wat a twist!

At some point of the moive,
they said :"sometimes effort does not reap rewards"
How true. Esp in romance.
There will never be a balance in romance.

The actor said at the wedding dinner,
"只要你爱的人能找到幸福，
你会真心诚意祝福她.
这是骗人的。"

I concur with his sentiment.
When u see yr love getting married and the groom's not u,
this statement serves only as pain reliever.
Perhaps only one with open heart can digest.

When u love a person and kw u won't be together with her-
tat's the pinnacle of pain.
Because u kw, u lose her forever.

 

My Review:

3 AND A HALF OUT OF FIVE

Personally I preferred the thai movie 

"Hello Stranger" to this one.

I was shocked when I found out the girl's 

actually already 28 liao and the guy's 20.

She still can act student, 

and is exemplary the type guys fall for.

Simple, sweet, girl-next-door.

Thankfully the director got the right mix, and the right guys.

随缘

有一个书生，和未婚妻约好某日结婚，
到了那一天，未婚妻却嫁给另一个人。

书生受到打击，一病不起。
眼看书生奄奄一息，这时，路过一个僧人，
得知后，决定点化一下他。


僧人从怀里摸出一面镜子叫书生看，
书生看到茫茫大海，一名遇害女子躺在海滩上。

这时，走来一个人，看了一眼，遥遥头，走了。

又走过来一个人，将自己的衣服脱下，
给女子盖上，走了。


又走过来一个人， 过去挖了一个洞，
小心翼翼的把尸体埋葬。


疑惑间，画面换了，书生看到自己的未婚妻， 
洞房花烛，被丈夫掀开盖头，但那男人不是他。


书生不明白。僧人解释：

 海滩上尸体， 就是你未婚妻的前世。
你是第二个路过的人，曾给她一件衣服。

她今生和你相恋，只为还你一个情。

但是她最终要报答一生一世的人，
是最后那个把她埋葬的人。

那人就是她现在的丈夫。


Moral of Story:

缘分来时好好珍惜，缘分走时不要感伤

缘分前世修来，它来时，你躲也躲不过。

它去的时候，你烧香拜佛求也求不来，

所以当我们拥有缘分时，
要好好把握，好好珍惜，
以免缘了时伤感。
这就是随缘的真理。

11/11/11 特别版

On this special day, I have written this post,
specially dedicated to my love ones.
(排名不分先后)

To my dear Wifey:

3 years since we married.
Time flies, and our love continues.

I always believe love constantly needs reigniting,
irregardless of the no. of years together.

请准许我重新爱上你, 继续谈情。。。

But I need to tell u there's another girl in my heart too.
Hope u don't mind.
Charlene. Coming soon.

I kw the fear of giving birth will strike,
I'll support and cheer u in the delivery ward,
just like when I was cheering for my soccer team.
Loud and Clear.
Minus the beer and the betting.

I LOVE U

To my dear Sisters, 大姐二姐:
Our fond memories of our childhood days surfaces often,
the time when we played and spent our days downstairs。
The special cat with different colour eyeballs which we named Meow Meow Mee Mee,
the dog tat kept chasing us around, when my slippers fell I still turned back for it,
the weird "medicine" 大姐 prepared using wild berries.

The only lament was when u all play barbie dolls
I can only play Ken.

Tat time I felt left out, wanted to change to barbie.
Luckily I didn't, or else I might never have got married.
娘娘腔 liao.

I wanna say thanks for the care
& m glad to have both of u as sisters.

I LOVE Us

To my dear friends:

Over the years, glad I've made some real good buddies.
Who understands me, know what I'm thinking.
Who've lent listening ears to my stories,
lending me a hand when I needed help,
and being my Pig Friend Dog Friend.

If u see me often, U kw who u'r.

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

I LOVE Us

To my dear Mum:

Few days back when I made an appointment to go out,
mum started to fuss and nag.
Somehow I got agitated and talked back.
Mins later I regreted my action.

Sure many of u did this before.
But years later can we guarantee we won't nag at our child?
It's just the word CONCERN at work.

I hope and will try my very best, nvr to speak back again.
Coz I kw watever unfulfilled actions or regret will never turn back the time.
It's now tat u need to show them u love them, and say the magical word 'Sorry'.

I LOVE U

To my dear Dad:

3 yrs ago, at 9.10am, he left me.
I was with him.
I decided tat every year at same date and time,
I'll accompany him.

On the 1st yr after his passing,
I was there at tat same time.
My tears kept flowing. Like a tap.
Memories kept replaying.
Because, I realized how painful it was.

On the 2nd yr after his passing.
I was there at tat same time.
My tears kept flowing. Like a tap.
Memories kept replaying.
Because, I realized time did not heal the pain.

On the 3rd yr after his passing.
I was late.
My tears did not flow.
I did not feel bad for being late.
Time, location, and day does not matter anymore.
Because, I realized I did not lose him.
He lives in my heart.

Time, date, are just numerical reminders tat passes by.
Tat actual day and time have stayed.
Plus all the fond memories.

I LOVE U

I seldom poured my feelings openly.
1st time so 肉麻.

Let this special 11/11/11 be the 1st.
Tell ur loved ones how much u love them
on this special day.

KPO

2day have to admit I very KPO.

Not purposely la, just tat the gal sitting in front of me in the bus,
her msg font size too big,
I can read frm my seat.

She is in her late 30s.

She opened her inbox and read a msg:

"today no work? ..... be careful when u are working.
I really really miss u."

Wah! Lovey!

She replied:
"...... I on the way back home, just finished training.
I will miss u"

Wee weet!

Two love birds in full force.

After her reply she scrolled the rest of the msg sitting in her inbox.
To my surprised, there was another msg,
sender name was DEAR.

This sender "DEAR" was not the one she's talking and replying to.
I can distingushed because this msg frm DEAR was in chinese instead of english.

A two timer!

My KPO level got higher as I strained my neck for the ans and more explicit.

Again she opened the "miss u" msg and I looked for how she addressed tat sender.
"Hubby"? perhaps? Then wat a story!

Yet another surprise awaits.

The sender name was simple and clear- WENDY.

Huh?! Wendy? Female to female?

I kw sometimes girls do play & tease with their girl peers
those miss u msg,
but this conversation seems bizarre.

Esp the "really really miss u"
and the "I will miss u"

Doesn't sounds like the normal teasing sms.
Sounds more frm the heart.
When I read the "REALLY REALLY miss",
donno why I was touched.
Sounds convincing with "really" X2.
Guess I 花吃 liao.

Hmm. Furthermore a "DEAR" in her life?
Just when I tot she's a les.

After spending my whole bus journey pondering the reasons for this,
then I realized how KPO I'm.

Sometimes in life, even the most trivial things in life,
there will nvr be an answer.

Steve Job's last love letter to his wife

These are Steve Job's last love letter to his wife,
dated March 2011 for his 20th wedding anniversary,
taken from his biography, expressing his love to her:


"We didn't know much about each other twenty years ago.
We were guided by our intuition; you swept me off my feet.


It was snowing when we got married at the Ahwahnee.
Years passed, kids came,
good times, hard times, but never bad times.


Our love and respect has endured and grown.
We've been through so much together 
and here we are right back where we started 20 yrs ago-
older, wiser-with wrinkles on our faces and hearts.
We now know many of life's joys, sufferings,
secrets and wonders and we're still here together.
My feet has never returned to the ground."
