Cape no 7 海角七号

Watch Cape No 7 last night. Didn't expect quite a number of parts is quite hilarious. Guess its the hokkien dialogues that is funny though some parts of it is quite chim, need to rely on the translations.

There were touching moments where I feel like tearing, especially the part when youzi is searcing for her bf frantically on the vessel. Still don't understand why the guy can just leave her like this. Blame it on the war?? hmmm just feel the guy is coward to leave her like this and then to write those 7 letters which was never send out until 60 yrs later............

Poor gal...


Oh yes btw the actor Van Fan 范逸臣, his eyes are beautiful. Even the Japan's singer Kousuke Atari, ooo his eyes are beautiful.........


Here's the plot:

In the 1940s when Taiwan was a Japanese colony, a Japanese teacher (Kousuke Atari) dispatched to the southernmost town of Hengchun fell in love with a local girl with the Japanese name Kojima Tomoko (Rachel Liang). After the Surrender of Japan, he was forced to return to his home country. On his trip home, he penned seven love letters to express his regret for leaving Kojima Tomoko, who originally planned to elope with him to Japan.

More than 60 years after the teacher left Kojima Tomoko, Aga (Van Fan) is introduced as a struggling young Hengchun-native rock band singer who could not find success in Taipei. After returning to his hometown, Aga's step father (Ju-Lung Ma), the Town Council Representative, arranged a position for him as a postman, replacing the senile Uncle Mao (Johnny C.J. Lin), on leave after a motorcycle accident broke his leg. One day Aga comes across an undeliverable piece of mail that was supposed to be returned to the post office: the daughter of the now deceased Japanese teacher has decided to mail the unsent love letters to Taiwan after discovering them. Aga unlawfully keeps and opens the package to discover its contents, but the old Japanese-style address Cape No. 7, Hengchun County, Takao Prefecture could no longer be found.

Meantime a local resort hotel inside Kenting National Park is organizing a beach concert featuring Japanese pop singer Kousuke Atari, but Aga's step father makes use of his official position to insist that the opening band be composed of locals. Tomoko (Chie Tanaka), an over-the-hill Mandarin-speaking Japanese fashion model dispatched to Hengchun, is assigned the difficult task of managing this hastily assembled band, led by Aga along with six other locals of rather particular backgrounds. After a frustrating trial period Aga and Tomoko unexpectedly begin a relationship. With some assistance from hotel maid Mingchu (Shino Lin), Tomoko helps Aga find Kojima Tomoko, the rightful recipient of the seven love letters. Aga then returns to the beach resort and performs a highly successful concert with this local band and Kousuke Atari

Is this me?

Was reading ah jun's blog when I came across this site.. so curious me decide to take this analysis and see what it says of me..

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be
sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Here's the site.. I got no idea what is twilightersanonymous at all.. hor.. so dont ask me. I think is movie.. er...

I never did let go

Thought I could let go, and I though I did.
But actually am not.
Cos out of nowhere like now, I would suddenly think of it
I wish I would be brave enough, but know I don't have the guts
Cos I am afraid of reality
What should I do?


Dear Abba father, would you tell me how to handle this..

其实生活中,我们最害怕的并不是面对辛苦的那一刻，而是当你突然转过头去,身边却没有一个人可以依靠。还有必须独自一任面对无法入眠的慢慢长夜。

Not complete lyrics...
慢舞



作詞：芮恩 作曲：Kim Lim

編曲：Adam Lee

演唱：芮恩



爱 像跳慢舞

Ai xiang tiao man wu

紧紧抓着一起踏步

Jin jin zhua zhe yi qi ta bu

选对舞伴万众瞩目
xuan dui wu ban wan zhong zhu mu



但 我們舞步
dan wo men wu bu

为了追寻完美
wei le zhui xun wan mei

练太熟了反而虚伪

Lian tai shou le fan er xu wei



飞旋 一起飞旋 自我麻醉
fei xuan yi qi fei xuan zi wo ma zui

旋转 不停旋转 忘了 彼此抓紧

Xuan zhuan bu ting xuan zhuan wang le bi ci zhua jin



此空虛无止 漫步跳舞

Ci kong xu wei zhi wan bu tiao wu

小心翼翼舞步

Xiao xin yi yi wu bu

心里有数 是最后支舞

Xin li you shu shi zui hou zhi wu

就闭眼忘了呼吸的投入

Jiu bi yan wang le hu xi de tou ru



像漫步跳舞 我们不哭
Xiang man bu tiao wu wo men bu ku

用默默地祝福

Yong mo mo de zhu fu

只等这樂曲 渐渐静下来

Zhi deng zhe yue qu jian jian jing xia lai

我们学不会跳的慢舞 结束

quote of the day

Take a chance, its better that u try then to live with the knowlege that u never try


Not something new, was listening to one sermon and pastor mention this.. pretty encouraging..

The Answer

Always like Corrine May's songs, I think I have all her albums :) And btw her live concert is thumbs up. This song "The answer" is from the album :The Gift"




believe you are the answer to
every tear I've cried
I believe that you are with me
My rising and my light
Give me strength when I am weary
Give me hope when I can't see
Through the crosses I must carry
Lord, bind my heart to thee
That when all my days are over
and all my chores are done
I may see your risen Glory
Forever where you are.

The heart of workship

Suddenly recall this song, one of the very first workship songs that I like, introuduce by a xiao di. Wonder how is that xiaodi doing now, think he must have just have finished his NS now. Its just weird how God connect people, I never ever seen him. Well God will guide and keep him :)

Hmm I wonder where I keep my disc, should reap it into my ipod..






The heart of Worship-- Matt Redman

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

I'll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus

Its all about you
Jesus

Funny ads

I can' thelp but to laugh at this one haha


Funny


Funny 2

I remember watching the 2nd one sometime back in maybe youtube or wherever.

Thank you Friends

Friends, just want to say Thank you. :)
Sorry to make some of you worried about me, I am fine now. Was attending a course these 2 days and today I just thought of you guys.

The trainer was saying something about how our moods will affect the people around you and I recalled one of you I still dont know who(since u never leave your name) was saying what happen to the cheerful Mei? That really strikes me

I am back... bouncing(really bouncing heavily, gosh I wonder how did i ever gain weight again) happily :)

Well to say the truth, its not say really painless. It still hurts at times when many unhapppy things happen but its about how you managed your emotions. Don't let that get to you, self managment hahha.. I know God has me in his palm and everything happens for a reason. I can't see it now, but someday HE will show me.


Ok I think I really better go to Dr Tan to get my gastric medicine(I said I want to get but never) , hopefully its not out of stock again. Gastric juice too active===> constantly hungry==> Eat and eat==> Gain weight.

Oh on Friday night I am here blogging.. kind of sad ah.. but dont worry I am ok... was thinking what photos to print out.... to scrap....

Need that therapy

The blog is in mandarin btw, if you don't understand waht I wrote above, just too bad. Well fear not, I can still translate for you, I got a dip in Chinese and translation afterall

Today

Don't know why I thought of my bro when I was listening to a sermon on the bus. Suddenly recall how he used to bully me when I was growing up. I recalled how my nose bleed when he punched me on the nose once when I was 11 yrs ago, how he punched me on the stomach when I was 13 yrs old.

I realy really hate him when I was young. Seriously I hate him, feared him. But an incident happen when I was 12 yrs ago, that make me realise I still love him, that blood is thicker than water. Well after his NS, his temper sort of control. I used to remember him saying girls shouldn't study so much. You know that kind of MCP. Now my sis and I have the last laught. Who did he go to when he needed financial aid, when he needed help with his family .

Well the childhood incidents taught me to be strong, never to cry, drop my tears infront of him. It just pleases him that I cry, so I learn to hold back my tears. Even if I cry it would be in my blankets and pillows when no one is looking.

I know this is a false front that I am putting up. Cos when I am alone watching even a carton I can cry, I remember once I was watching this cartoon, I just cry when I see the poor baby Elephant's mother was shot dead. When I sympathise with the person in the dramas/movies that I watch I will tear too.

Once this guy ask me: "Am you always that strong as you show others? This question strike me, really strike me. I didn't answer him, cos I know the answer is No I am not, I am weak. This guy is really observant, of cos at that time I didn't know he was interested in me then. Anyway by the time the blockhead of me realise, its kind of late. Anyway we just won't be together cos we are just of different values and faith and ..... and I am happy that he is now happily married.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Was kind of feeling unbalance today too. SMS K and tell her I wanted to tell her something yesterday and she replied what I wanted to tell her. So its not only me who feel it this way. hmmm I know I shouldn't feel this way but just can't help feeling this way.

Have you ever had the feeling that what you do is not appreciated, and why did other people just seem to have the advantage of everything without doing any hard work. Why did other just simply have a easier life than you, its like they are being blessed with everything. All they did to do is being pretty, sweet talker, don't have to have sound technical skills.

I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I am afterall human flesh. Just can't help but to feel unbalanced. XW, if you are reading this, its just addtional things on top of what I told you last friday, something more happen.

Ah sometimes can't help but to ask God, why are you doing this to me. Why is she not even a believer and getting all the benefits, what about me ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think I better go and get my gastric medicine tomorrow. I suppose to go down to get a long time ago but never go..............

I will bounce back

Its been tough these past 2 months for me, work stress, personal stress etc etc. Guess I was too anxious as well, just need to constantly remind myself to stay still stay still, ai zai ai zai...

Thanks for all ur concerns, don't worry i will definitely bounce back like a palm tree. Palm trees withstand storms, survive tought extreme conditions, so will I. :)

I just need time to rest my physically tired mental thats all.


I thank God for the strength he given me, I can't imagine how I can survive with that little sleep every night, its average 5 hours per day and sometimes less than that. I will wake up very often, past 1 week is much better I must say. Just imagine reaching office at 7 plus , 8am for the past 1 months plus sometimes staying back until i really headache..

Well I will bounce back for sure................................................

I can't now wait to find time to print some photos and do some scrap booking therapy. But before that I owe someone 2 Xmas cards swaps Ooooopsssssss...terrible me, delaying things again.


Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6

The right one 对的人

In response to ah jun's challenge here's the layout.. hmmm I did one didn't like it, so change to another one just now.. here's the 2 of them





So what's my criteria?
1) same Abba father as me
2) someone who is knowledgeable, can lead and guide me
3) love me, accept me as it is
4) someone who holds my hands till we apart (I always watch in admiration at those old couples holding hands strolling, now I wish my parents would do that)
5)holds a respectable job
6)accepts my crafting habits :)
7)Intellectual, must be of high EQ(i totally forgetten abt this until xw reminds me, that's what WL says too hmmm maybe I too chim haha )

Its simple right, I didn't even ask for looks or whatever. So simple yet I dont know why I am still single, its just not that easy to find a soul mate whom you can live with the rest of your life, someone who is willing to share ur love, joy, pain, your life story with. Someone whom you can communicated with, accept as you are, flaws, perfections. someone to 守护、爱护 (vice versa of cos)

A friend say I am naive to have this criteria saying I need to be practical, need to have $$$ etc etc. True yes, I agree 100% that $$$ is important but I believe Love of $$$ is the root of all evil as what the bible says. I strongly believe God will provide, if we start to worry about this and that, well I think forever we will procastinate on the plans etc. Sometimes I need just need to cast our cares and burdens onto the Lord, not so easy am still learning.

Each time my not so close friends will say I have high expectations, I wondered if this is high expectations. I can't just take any Tom Dick or Harry that comes along right, the able to communicate part is very important.

SJ and I were talking and one of these days we were saying let's go dating agency. Not too sure if thats the right path... hmm I been asking Abba daddy if I am suppose to be single or ? Whatever it is, I will definitely not get married for the sake of marrying.

I think when God wants to unite 2 person, its a reunion that will bring glory and do do the good for HIM.

I been trying to focus on this lately:
Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
P/s: Pardon my grammar and spelling mistake, just too tired to do spell check...

SJ say I am pretty today

:)

went to gym this morning, after all the guilt eating yesterday. hahahah.. suprise can wake up so early.. but was abit rush for church. Decide to wear skirt with a nice top today, I seldom wear skirt(except jeans skirt) on weekends. Actualy one of my collegue was commenting why am I always in pants, my reply was : cos I carry backpac, wear skirt very ugly ) hahah actually when u carry a backpack for the laptop and u wear a dress or a skirt it does looks ugly. hahah anyway nowdays i hackcare dont bother to change my laptop bag..

Bounce into SJ and BL at a push cart in suntec, so they are like surpise to see me in skirt.. think they never seen me in skirt come to think of it hahaha

SJ commented just now that I look pretty.. Thanks gal....................

Eat and Eat day

Went to JB with SJ, BL they all..eat the whole day.. gosh..
Morning I ate a donut, courtesty of xw.. oh yea,, thanks buddy thanks for spending time with me on Friday night, knowing that I was down and u make me so otuched.. I didn't know u were waiting for my sms while I gone swimming...

Back to eating.. reach JB, eat chee chong fun with the curry and the usual black sauce.. eh... why didn't they separate out the curry taste weird weid. Somehow I remember my auntie in Malaysia while eating this (gosh that's another story)

Went to do my medi and pedi.. and upon the urging of them, i actually cut my hair when i suppose to go to Yohei to cut.. .. i chop so much of my hair so layered, now i really feel like a pong sai gao.. hmmm I have a feeling within a month I will cut short. Anyway I am pretty adventours with Hair, most of my friends are not willing ot part with their long hair. I am probably one of the few exceptions.. Always like to try but I think most of the time turn out to be disastrous haha...





My medi, anyway i know wont last, since I will be washing dishes, clothes etc.. well just to pamper myself..


Lunch was huang jiu ji, plus curry plus zhu jiao chu.. ie wine chicken, and vinegar pork and curry.

Dinner was mi huan kueh, plus chicken wing, plus roast duck, pork, plus suan cai, plus dessert............wah................... fat lei..
