All abt Love

Dear all,

It was a long 14hour flight starting from LA, hugging the coast from Alaska to Russian to Japan to finally Taipei. And believe it or not, my inspiration to write a good entry came after I watched the Chinese Movie "All abt love" by Andy Lau and Charlie Yeung.

"All abt love" or in Chinese translation "say I love you one more time" is abt Gao Yuen(Andy Lau) stars as a doc who neglected his wife(Charlene) due work. Due to his heavy work committment, he lost her during a car accident. He then realised the meaning of "treasure the one you see in front". While his wife is still alive, Gao did not treasure her, often let her "fly kite"(to the 108th time, in fact). Now that she is gone, it is all too late to repent.

His life became monotoneous after switching job to an ambulance assistant. Six years later, Gao yuen met Sam (Charlie Yueng) during an accident on the road. A successful heart transplant patient, Gao Yuen saw patches of her former wife in Sam. As Gao got to know Sam better, he saw the exact repeat of his previous senerio - Sam is neglacted by his husband; Sam is dying too from organ malfunction. Gao knew that he must act to prevent the same consequences from occuring twice.

As I was watching the end of the show, I act cried abit lah. Ha! It was really a long long while since I lasted dropped a tear while watching a movie. Think must be due to a combination of fatigue, imcreasing jet lag, breathin some russian air, etc. Sam eventually passed away. She wrote to Gao that he must learn to love himself again, he must not inhibit himself to live in his past, and that it is not his fault that his former wife perished. Sam was happy to be loved the second time, even though she knew that it wasn't she that Gao loved.

It is so important to learn to appreciate the good things around you right now - your wife, your family, your loved ones, your friends. Sometimes, it is so easy to fall to the dark side and start a quarrel with Min. Sometimes, I just do not have the tolerance that I once had to listen to her problems and "comprains".

B4 you know it, it is time now to treasure the people you had around you. How abt you?
