A story origin from someone, but I don't know the one. This is a heartening story forwarded by my friend.
Title: Love
I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back.
The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll.'
Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?''
The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''
Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look a round. She left quickly. The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.
'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas.
She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.'
I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry.
But he replied to me sadly. 'No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.'
His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.''
My heart nearly stopped.
The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.'
Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me.'
'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.'
Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''
'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.
The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!'
Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me!''
'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.''
'My mommy loves white roses.'
A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind.
Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl.
The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma.
Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.
I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial.
She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.
I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine.
And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

Daydreaming
Once I got home, I kept watching movie again. The movie I repeatedly watching it. I wish I could be the male main character one day. He has nice body built-up, gorgeous face, reasonable height, etc.
All these building castle in the air thanks to fuck cibai. I asked him to go movie but he insisted on not going out. Sighed. But then, I talked to him what absurdity I'd been thinking, he was like destroying my castle and made me to the reality again.
Ya, that's right. A guy needs to have wealth and health only. Others, not really the main core of being someone's boy friend, right? Fine, I'll not be going for a plastic surgery anymore!!!
Oh my god, I nearly forgot, next tuesday, my result will be coming out!!! For god sake, please, my friends, pray for me!!!!

2 movies a day
Today I watched two movies - madagascar and 命中註定我愛你(28 episodes in a day)
Madagascar was being watched in the cinema with my ex-classmates - fuck cibai, hojun, khan khan and ah Teh. The movie was splendid, hilarious, humourous and fascinating! The funny thing was that in the cineplex, only our laughters could be heard, others were so silent though the cineplex was like full house. We were so queer in the sense that, haha, you know, only you're the one who was laughing in the chamber. But it's a movie I would never forget, especially those hilarious scenes and adorable characters.
命中註定我愛你, is a recommended drama series as well. No wonder it achieved the highest viewing rate in Taiwan. If not I won't be watching it till midnight just to watch all the episodes, haha. So far, I mean for Taiwan drama series love story, it's considered as a good and worth watching one. Well, the story you may learn when you're dating as well. Haha. (PS: Fuck cibai, you should learn more)

Holiday countdown
Two more days before my holiday ends. What a dismay! Semester break is only a week, or be more exactly, not fully a week.
Recall what I've been doing during these days were purposeless, save for the concert that night and outing with friends for a movie on Monday. And now, tooooooo bored that I need to spam a post like this.
Passing all alone at home, staring at the idiot box with the pc, I think I've gone insane to cure my sadness of the final examination. What to do? The exam is over and I think no more four flat for me. Out of expectation the papers were.
Now here I want to warn others. Who said that Matric is easy? Come on! Let's try out the questions! Then you'll know the taste Im feeling now.
Goodbye my holiday. Wondering why holiday always ends so fast that way but during class, the time's like crawling 0.1 second per 0.1 second.

My feelings...
Four months of studying, four weeks of anticipating, four days of enduring, four hours of waiting, four seconds of waiting.
The final is finally over. I should be in an euphoria mode by now. Instead, of no purpose, I just feel very depressed and dull over nothing. All the three subjects I sat for were very difficult, in the sense of, I've never been exposed to those questions before this. I'm pretty sure no more four flat, maybe there's a little hope, by chance.
The sem break will only be a week, or I should say, not even a full week since I need to get back to my college by friday because I need to sit for my the other three papers for MUET on the next day. How sad!
Any way, home sweet home. Welcome home James, and happy holiday. Enjoy yourself :)

Casting My Boss My Hero
Has been a long time since the last time I wrote this blog. In a twinkle of eyes, soon one semester has over. I will be facing my final at the count of my fingers. Besides, coupled with Muet, I can only say that I'm going to meet my destiny soon.
However, within these few days, I've been watching a Japanese drama series, namely 'My Boss My Hero', as what I mentioned in my title. It is a damn nice and worth-watching movie. Trust me, you won't be deceived somehow. I would like to share the movie in my blog here. And the story goes like this:
It's all started with a gang's chief whose eldest son is only brave but a bit dumb. In order to promote his intelligence, he is sent (again) to a high school, which he has to pretend that he's still a 17-year-old student; though he's already 28. He wants to take over his father's post but his father ascertains his readiness for it. His father thus wants him to be imparted with more knowledge and so to be able to think before he acts. So, the hot-tempered Makky is sent to the school. He is required to complete his graduation in the bid to take over the presidency post.
In the school, he has volunteered himself as a class leader and he indeed leads the class fairly well. He's all out to make the whole class participate in almost all of the events held by the school and he even makes his class emerge as a champion in some of the events, like basketball tournament, running for puddings, and etc. He has united the whole class indeed, making them to sing with one heart one voice during the cultural show before their finals, though they didn't emerge as the winner. Finally, he is being looked upon by his classmates.
The culminate part of the story is when his brother, who's often being attacked by illnesses and is a granduer in one of the universities in Florida, wants to compete the presidency of the gang with him. Spotting their weaknesses, their oppose gang has stirred an internal turmoil among Sakio themselves. They succeeded. At the end, his father(of Sakio) decides to choose the person to take over by election. The election date falls on the same day as his final and Mr 3-A(a competition to see who gets the most number of chocolate that day). Of course, he wins in the in the neck-to-neck race election by outweighing his brother by 9 votes. Besides, he passes his final but he doesn't get the Mr 3-A; for he only receives one chocolate.
One week before his graduation ceremony, his oppose gang who knows he has elected as the leader of Yakuza, comes to his school for a devastation. So, his identity is being unveiled. Everyone feels scare, I mean all the students and teachers, because to their knowledge, Yakuza has been one of the gangster who uses violence pretty much. Then he was involved in a fight and so he is jailed up. He doesn't manage to graduate, however, all his classmates and teachers forgive him and they wrote a certificate, indicating his graduation from their class. It was so touching till the tears were rolling in my already-red eyes. Of course, in the long run, he gives up his so-called career and furthers his studies in university. This is because he finds out what's the real happiness in him and how studying offers him the pleasure.
He teaches me many things. This is the vital time for a youth to enjoy our time, filling our void with love, romance, friendships and everything that we can never have a chance to repeat. So, I will cherish and savour every moment now with all my friends, no matter what.
I hope this story can also impart some of the moral values to the readers who read my blog. All the best for you and the moment with my friends I will forever curve it deep inside my heart. So long, my friends.
