The Switchon gets FREE!!

Damn it.

He kept everything in secret. He just said he will pick me up when I left office.

I have told myself not to expecting anything special. However, because he zipped up his mouth. I was really expecting something special.

He gave me so many questions that night. "Where do you want to have dinner?" "Where do you want to go next?" Hey! You should be the one who planned the day!

So, I tore in The Spagetti House. You see! We had our anniversary dinner in Spagetti House! I didn’t say a word. I have told myself not to tear again in front of him. However, I tore that night because of the disappointment. At the same time, I got a stomachache.

He asked me if we can go to see World Cup Match in the pub, but my stomach was terribly aching. I suggested to go home.

On the bus, I still kept tearing. He asked me why. I told him when we walked home.

I appreciate his patience of comforting me. He promised to change. He is happy when being with me no matter what we are doing. I don’t mind just having a dinner on the special day but please let me know in advance. I will learn not to expecting anything.

Next examination - My 26th birthday on 28 July 2006.

Haha.

I got an access card of the dub bay of another company so that I can go in and out by myself. I was told that the access card cannot access the level of pantry, where I can get a cup of Free Pacific Coffee!! So usually, if I would like to have a free coffee, I need to ask the dubbing operator lending us their card, which is quite embarrassing for me.

Yesterday, I gave a try to use my access card to open the door of the pantry level. And I succeeded!! So I can get the coffee whenever I want now!

Directed by Yong Hou

Credited cast: Ziyi Zhang…. Young Mo/young Li/young Hua

rest of cast listed alphabetically

Ye Liu…. Xia Du
Yi Lu…. Zou Jie

Actually, I can’t say this is a good movie. Quite cliche… Three generation of women in the same family have nearly same destiny - abandoned by her beloved man after having a baby. A thing that is quite interesting is that the mothers of the three generation are all acted by Joan Chen (陳沖) and the daughters are acted by Ziyi Zhang (章子怡). So when a daughter Ziyi grows old, the old look of the daughter is Joan Chen… I should say they are acting quite good in the film, which makes the movie more interesting then it is. Moreover, I should say the handsome guys Liu Ye(劉燁) and Lu Yi make the movie more attractive to me…. hahaha…
