| It's raining.
I recalled the song by Xjapan named "Endless rain" which brought me grief that i forgot how long ago it was.
"Let me forget, all of the hate, all of the sadness."
I heard that it's raining too at the other half of the globe.
In HK, there is much less rain this year, much less than last.
But the sky cried less doesnt mean that she was not grieved...maybe it's becoz more sunshine was needed for the place she loved;
so she went to the pole and cried with the polar bears and penguins.
Well, she would feel better when she see those cute creatures craving over the ice doesnt she?
But then, she cried tonight, coz she was homesick, and she missed her.
And how may she know about it?

| 遊覽闊別一時的FB，真箇樂不思蜀...
但我不敢忘記，在海拔3000米上，白雪中，蔚藍天，穹山淌水，蒼茫所帶來的感觸
「有更重要的事情要做」叮

| 我24才了。
今年收到的祝福賀詞比往年多得多，我不敢去想是什麼原因，總之開FB時看見右下角有幾十個notification時，快樂是真實的。
那便足夠了。
現今世代能夠向一個人寄語的方法多得很，各適其式，以「生日快樂」為例，以我今趟經驗的大概排名估計如下：
1. Facebook Wall - 54%
2. 電話message - 20%
3. 見面但唔講，盡在不言中 - 12%
4. 見面先講 - 8%
5. 電話講 - 2%
6. MSN message - 4%
有部份人會做幾樣，以上數據只顯示First encounter，即係如果有個人電話msg完過幾個鐘見面再講，佢都count as係電話msg。
我做呢個統計係想講，msg在現今世代變得幾重要......
當中有些留了msg的朋友因為種種原因當時未能及時回覆，現請對號入座：
F：「你是臨近13號0:00前的第一位，雖然在數日前見面你已講左，但教正時間再留msg真係好有心，要向你再三叩....指頭好冇.....」
E：「同你唔算好熟但你在0:00正send msg來，真係好有心好驚喜，Orz」
S：「你也是將近最準時的一位，很多謝你還記得並在乎我。msg雖短，但佢象徵既意義好大」
M：「最早跟我慶祝並同我講生日快樂的人，而且每逢過節總是準時send msg，一個人有冇心，就係咁樣累積印象而黎。我人生中，最有時間觀念你睇怕都係其中之一」
Z：「晨早起身即刻去FB留言，有心係有心喇，但女仔close friend中係爭你未見，好快d俾d交代喇下」
L：「又係起身即刻留msg，另一位有心人，你兩姊妹真係brighten左我既生日 =)」
K：「言短情長，多謝你令我下定決心」
V：「等我番來同你去赤柱一齊補祝」
以上所有都係諗起但冇覆的msg，全部都係女仔。係我係好偏心的

| It's been long since i critique a movie in English. There are several reasons that this triggers my nerve.
From my point of view, it's a great story. I was moved, and I know that I'd sit like an ass who doesnt give a damn to this movie 24hrs later from now.
I barely do free ad for movies unless it's really good.
And "A Time Traveler's Wife" in overall isnt one of the best, it's like its name - easily forgotten and neglectable.
So i'd rather say it's a great story, not movie. Viewing it as a movie, there are quite many things pushing me off.
This is a great, moving story with cleverly written screenplay. I suggest all to view it this way.
For ppl who hvnt watched yet:
One must put either one or all of the following in mind when watching a "Time travel fiction":
Rule 1: Never question possibility. Time travel is in general an idea, not even hypothesis. (Such like u wont question if shaolin soccer can actually be practiced)
Rule 3: Again i emphasize, Stop slamming ur head against the wall by dedicating to the tedium of explaining "how time travel works"
For ppl who watched & ths i wanna share:
The screenplay was cleverly written. Knowing that it was altered from a novel, it should be well given that many sidelines were left behind.
"Time Travel fiction" is always a pain for storyteller --- that one will easily influence the past as "Butterfly Effect" put a tagline on how history could easily been affected.
However, this story add sth to make the story enjoyable and arguably "functionable."
1. Henry's travel is involuntary in both time and place (minimizes the possible collateral influence to the future/past)
2. Henry could not bring along anything with his travel (reason same as above)
3. Henry met himself (talked) only once when he was a child throughout the whole story (reason same as above)
4. Henry began to travel to his after-life only within the few years when he knew he's about to die (reason same as above)
5. So on.
So both the screenplay n author really did their best to make the story sounds to make sense.
What's the point to do that much of work?!
Return to the film.
Henry & Clare were like every ordinary couples. They fight, and they wanna do wt all ppl wanna do.
Except that Henry has an add-on that he could have a glimpse of the future and be forced to go back & forth between the past and future.
And this differentiates an ordinary relationship into an exceptional love story.
Why? What is it that makes the story special, what is it that makes Henry & Clare love each other deeper than other couples?
Have the lens focus back to the story.
When Henry & Clare dun sleep tgt, when Henry ligates himself, what makes their relationship back to the romantic, beautiful track?
It's when the future Henry appears shot in front of them.
3 secs.
Reminds Clare that she had never seen Henry older than his 40ish.
So Henry & Clare realized that Henry was going to die. So from then every seconds of them being tgt are valuable as gold.
Think about it.
Isnt it we become ultra-passionate about things that r in its descending moments?
Isnt it we treat our lovers/frds damn good when either of us known to be leaving to somewhere?
AND WHY THE F**K SHOULD WE BEHAVE LIKE THAT?!!!?!?!!
Shit happens, ppl dies, contact loses, number changes, account crashes...
I was doing perfect fine 100mins of the film.
But in the near final scene of Clare running towards Henry, my eyes were filled with tears.
"They just wanna stay tgt for a while."
"They just wanna stay tgt for a while."
"They just wanna stay tgt for a while. Let em plz" echos in my head.
And i "pray" that the screenplay allows them to do so (OH MY GOD).
When stuff happen like this, I know that this is a film worth watching & be listed, for me
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somehow afterall, I feel that movie filming a love story works as if a religion.
People who doesnt understand love / question about love / haunting by love may energizes themselves thru sitting in a cinema.
After then ppl may think over ths, act on ths, and regain hope in their damanged relationships - or,
Be blessed and be even happier on their way back home.
Isnt these wt we Christian got from fellowship and worship?
They just not that straight forward reading the words from Bible but listening to paraphrases thru movies, actors and music.
In other words - this is very off topic and arguable - one may preach Christianity thru everything.
I didnt edit any of this long passage and things just pop out from my head
p.s. Why does the film named "Time Traveler's Wife"?
I think it's metaphoric......we all, somehow should live like Clare, be courageous towards destiny saying, "I dun wanna change a sec of our lives"
And take it as it is.
Take it as it is.
