Hachiko: A Dog’s Story

I thought this would be a feel good movie that will make you smile. Like Marley. I was so wrong. Didn't really watch first part of the movie on how the doggie met his master, Richard Gere. But, by the end of the movie, I feel so 感动 (gam dong) ... The master (i.e. Richard Gere) died of heart attack and he never went back home. However, Hachi, the doggie keeps on waiting for his master to come back from work, for over 9 long years ... Although the family tries to bring him to a new place and take care of Hachi, Hachi will always go back to the train station, at the same spot to wait for his master ....

I wonder can human be that loyal ....

CNY Movie Count Down 2: Homecoming

The movie is about people going back to their family to eat reunion dinner. I must say, one of the highlights during CNY is the Reunion Dinner. Since many years ago, my family's reunion dinner has been a small scale one, together with my parents and brother. This year, the scale is even smaller as my brother will only come back on Day 15 itself. Well, luckily he knows how to send a card. I can see my parents are smiling when they are reading it.

While watching the movie, i was thinking about the reunion dinner i had when i was little. Dad will go back to BM earlier, even before the eve. We would live at the OLD house in kampung area. Reunion Dinner was merry! We had even more people as compared to the family in the movie. At that time, i supposed there were 4 generations in the house, starting from my great grandma to us, the grandchildren. Kids would have their own table. While waiting for dinner, the adults will gamble (Huat ar !!!) and the kids would be running around outside.

* my late grandma with some of her grandchildren. so many years ago ... those were the time. CNY was much more fun when we were young.
