Thousand Leaves 2.0

Merry Christmas!! And click here to see how I made the fruitcake this year. M, Merry Christmas, and happy anniversary!

Just found that there is a movie titled Tea and Sympathy. Looks like it’s a classic by now, might need to find it somewhere not the place I always look for DVDs.

Rented the DVD Shadowboxer yesterday. As always, watching a movie without any background knowledge helps me enjoy the movie in a purest way. A female assassin who realised she can’t live long, decides to do her final assignment with her lover cum stepson. When she faced with her target, who is pregnant, suddenly water breaks, and assassin started to help her to deliver the baby. Thing started to get complicated, as a movie should be. The “client” who wanted her pregnant wife to be killed because he thought she is having affairs with some other guy. So, for those who are related are to be killed.

One thing interesting here is that, the assassin is assigned to kill those who are chain-related. Killing always has a reason behind, and it is always not out of the daily life, it must be related. In fact, all the assigned targets, actually are almost one-line related from the start to the end. It shows that business is like that, and real life is like that too, don’t you think so? People will do business with those they know instead of unknown, assassin will get business from the same people always.

I got a friend who thought Hong Kong is save and never imagined that it has such gun fighting in real life – except in movies. When she lived in Hong Kong for a while and found that the underground gansters were gun shooting each other at their working hours, she was shocked. When she told that story to her Hong Kong friend, she was told,

“Don’t worry, unless you are related, you won’t be involved.”

Isn’t it sound so lively? That humans have a real life taking place, not without a reason. I like it so much.

Call me sick, but I believe life is beautiful.

The decoration at the entrance for the apartment we lived in was completed 2 weeks ago. It looked really nice and I took the kids there at night to take a few picutres. Snap, snap, and smiles. Did they look natural?? Let the picture speaks itself.

Every year end seemed so busy, but this year it’s kind of quiet. Perhaps it’s because I am not that keen in participate for all kinds of gatherings, else I will be out almost every night for alcohols. Feel the aging thing in me when come to groups.

By next mid January it will turn one year with the current company that I am working now. It has changed a lot after I joined, in a good way. I like it, and the people that I work with, they are nice. No bad guys, though sometimes some moments people tend to act odd. It happens everywhere, so it’s no big deal.

You see, I really have nothing to write about! And Why the reason I am typing such?

Merry Christmas for those who celebrate it, and happy holidays to everyone! Will be getting the stuff to make fruitcakes today.
