I finally couldn't resist ~ & Yes. It is quite big. But I figured, I can always sit in it and have my bf carry me arnd :P

The following blog entry is an entry which I wrote a while back. It was first written on my chinese blog. It was an entry which I wrote after, once again, I watched the movie "Hachi" .. This time the American version .. I remember the first time I watched the Japanese version I was in high school. The love and devotion which Hachi had for his owner made me tear endlessly through out the movie .. I ended up going to school with my eyes no bigger than a fine line ~ lol ... This time, though a little better, I did end up whaling like a baby by the last hr of the movie ..

Hachi left us in 1935. But his story lives on & inspires even till today. & for the 6 months I lived in Japan. Every time I passed by his statue at the Shibuya station, though bitter sweet, I can't help but smile at him. He was not only a dog, but a loyal friend to his master. His devotion never ended till the last breath he took. & this is something, many of us humans can't even do. & it's stories like this, which make my living worthwhile, because even with all the bitterness around the world, such stories give us hope. This Pure Love, though rare, does exist. & It is only the matter if you're willing to give and believe in it first for it to find you ...

******************************************

刚刚看完了美国版本的 HACHIKO 故事
由 RICHARD GEAR 担演 HACHI 主人
小狗依然的可爱
故事情节依然的感动

我记得在我初中二年级的时候
我就看过日本版本的 HACHI
当时从片头一直哭到片尾
还记得第二天起床眼睛肿到根本睁不开
非常的丑像
结果只好硬着头皮去上课
但到了学校
看到班中的同学眼睛跟我一样的臃肿
我们两个就开怀大笑指着对方说：你昨天看了 HACHI 那部电影了对吗？！

HACHI 他早就在1935年离开了我们
但他的故事， 不管是我初中的时候，还是今天
依然的感动着很多人
他无私的爱，仅有的忠心
是很多现代人应该学习的

这次看完了这 部美国版的电影
还是让我哭得稀里哗啦
大概在世上能让我哭成这样的也只有可爱的动物们了吧
不是说我不喜欢【人】
我身边有很多如果失去了也会让我哭泣的人
但除了这些人，在我28年的人生里
我实在看过太多一般人跟人直接的丑陋一面

人可以很简单
为了自己的利益
或者一时间的幸灾乐祸
背着良心
做出，说出，很多原本不是真实的事

对我而言，动物的真诚，无私的信任
让我更觉得活着是有意义的
而不是每天争风吃醋
斗心机过着的日子

有些人可能一辈子都是这么过着
但我只能说
人到最后都是要入土的
谁比较受欢迎
谁比较买得多名牌
到最后其实真的那么重要吗？
我倒是希望等到我入土的那天
回想过去
不是想到说我买了多少个包包
买了多少双鞋子
而是想到我身边的人， 我脑海里的记忆
都是让我打从心底笑出来的人和事
而 不是一些假人假物

或许你会觉得我很悲观
但我不觉得
因为真的被我留在身边的人
都是我100%值得信赖的人
而 我也100%为他们付出的人
今天就算要我赴汤蹈火也无所谓的人

对我而言，那才是活着
而不是虚伪的友谊，虚伪的笑容，飘渺 的物质。

This week has been hectic ~

Other than CNY celebrations/traditions, it was also my friend Coco's birthday. So on her birthday we went out to the Bund and ate at Mr. & Mrs Bund. The food was definitely delish. Esp their Foie gras yyyuuummmzzzz ~~~ & then of course there was Valentine's .. Though this year Mr. Rowe and I celebrated with my family (since it was also CNY eve that day ..) but Mr. Rowe did give me a lovely gift hehe ... I guess every day is Valentine's if you have a healthy relationship right? :P 

alright. Photo time ;)

Happy Chinese New Year!! ;)

Right now, fireworks are going off all over town .. if you haven't been to China during CNY. Other than shops being closed and all. It is definitely a sight to see. Fireworks pretty much is going off EVERY WHERE! To the point, when Mr. Rowe first got here last year, and witnessed it for the first time, he thought he was witnessing a war movie haha ...

I know my beauty blog posts have been long overdue. & I feel utterly bad about it. But the past few weeks I've been busy with work .. esp with CNY around the corner ~ & now that it is CNY, I'm packed with family stuff to do .. So please bear with me! and thank you for the support you lovely ladies have been showing me ;)

Since CNY is one of the biggest holiday seasons here, most of my friends are off traveling or went back home to visit families. But just the past Thursday, we did come out and had a little fun ~

Photo Memoirs:

So a while back, I did an entry on ambigram tattoos and how I wanted one. & this is an update :P

Just yesterday, both Mr. Rowe and I, finally got the ambigram tattoos we wanted! lol .. Well Mr. Rowe got another few more addition ..I just got one tho ~

Right now it's healing pretty nicely. Just aches a little. Since I did it on the inner wrist where the skin is rather thin ~ But overall it was alright. The process wasn't that painful and he did it pretty fast :D
