One Litre of Tears

One of the best drama I've seen lately. A total of 11 episodes of this true story about a Japanese girl named Aya, who was diagnosed with a disease called Spinocerebellar Degeneration when she was 15 years old.

" how would you be if you couldn't walk freely anymore?
how would you be if you couldn't talk anymore?
how would you be if you couldn't move anymore?
how would you be if you're aware of anything around you, but you can't do anything?

the sickness is progressing slowly, but it definately continuing...."

she was very strong to fight againts her incurable disease and continue to live on her life until her death when she was 25 years old. She tried so hard and kept writing in her diary so that she can remember her experience until she couldn't hold a pen anymore longer......

Her strong will for living and her optimistic character had truly touched my heart so deeply. She never give up even though she knew it was an incurable disease, she still kept on trying to do things that is within her own limits. She kept her diary in order to show the evidence of her living and as a reminder to tell her not to give up her life. It's then being published and over 18,000,000 copies of her diary have been sold.

With the richest and deepest love from her family, friends,and doctors, she was able to try hard to slowly give up almost everything that she was able to complete before the disease.

"Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing"
" I really dont want to say things such as I want to go back to how things were before, I recognize how I am right now, and i will continue to live on. "
"People shouldn't dwell on the past, It's enough to try your best in all that you are doing now"
"Reality is too cruel, too brutal, I dont even have the right to dream. As I think about the future, the tears will come out again. Where should I head forward? Even if there isn't an answer, I will feel better by writing it down......" quoted from 'I litre of tears

I cried so hard.
She was only 15 years old but she was so brave enough to face the reality and continued so hard to treasure everytime, every moments...Everyone should be thankful to be alive. She said it was alright to feel the pain herself, but she din't want to make any trouble for her family or friends. Therefore, she kept on trying hard to accept the cruel fate, and did whatever she could to help herself out and also able to encourage the people around her.

I couldn't express well in words. Truly emotionally inspired by her braveness.

Saturday night.

-lei lei, danny, auntie, yik, xiaoli, david, jia how-

I was craving for dessert last night therefore we decided to go out to have some sweets after dinner. It was a great fine night. As usual, we went to visit our favourite place for 'tong sui' *HmmmMmm..*

After a few talks, the gentlemen wanted to have some snooker games. So we were just hanging around while they were having snooker games. I am very bad at snookering. I had being taught so many times but I am still a big failure for snooker. But it was fun watching the games especially to watch someone who's really into the game.

a Walk to regenerate.

The 45-minutes-walk is refreshing.I was walking, listening to my ipod shuffle, looking at the moving clouds, seeing people climbing the huge story bridge, breeze was blowing, kids were laughing, .........

Isn't it a beautiful thing to have a closer look at everything around you. I saw beautiful flowers, huge plants in very weird shapes, river cruise.......So this is something what you can do when you are alone in a saturday evening. ^^

Eighty 8

While I was reading the february design issue magazine, my eyes glued on this page introducing the most innovative and visually inspiring products by the EIGHTY 8 Top 8

A very interesting shop to visit in Newstead, Brisbane.

Yes! I was so amazed by the art form and shape that is being invented into beautiful houseware design, from kitchen to bathroom, to office, so on and so on.

But mind you, these stuffs are pricey. but by looking at the creative design will really open you eyes.

Go to their website > the EIGHTY . You will love it. I bet.

Kids delight in lights. The Award winning Candeloo is a pair of re-chargeable lights for Kids.

Water Bottles

Blow up Basket - Fratelli Campana for Alessi. Dr Skud, is an eye-catching fly swatter designed by Phillippe Strack. Manufactured from thermoplastic resin, it is light and flexible, yet rigid enough to stand upright.

James the doorman- James is the perfect gentleman and will hold the door open for you by wedging his foot under it. Such a cute door stopper.

the Magnetic knife holder. Wouldn't it be great / cool if you have a series of different knifes on the wall and to form a kind of art deco in your house.

p/s: I woke up at 8 this morning. What a great day. Wishing everybody a very good day ahead. =)

Yeah. Autumn is here.

I wore a 'kimono' top to work today. It is a very cute top from last Chinese New Year. So I thought yeah, Why not, I can wear to work today, since it's a casual day hey. The weather is nice. My mood is pretty.

But I din't expect to go out and had meeting with clients for nearly 2 hours this morning! Busy, busy. I was there to take some really nice photos of the University for our magazine cover page. It's my first time going out as a photographer. Pretty new stuff for me. New experience. All good! all good!

I really love the weather. I guess autumn has just reached. Summer has waved us goodbye. Everyday I will have a pretty sweet smile on my face after I wake up from bed, knowing that I will be enjoying the cool nice weather while I step out for work, getting dressed, getting ready for a good start of the day, knowing that I will be having delicious lunchbox *prepared by my friend's mother* - They came and stay for a couple of days. And his mother cooks really nice dinner therefore I get to have very delicious lunch and dinner everyday! *How nice!

I love my day! *Big fat smile*

Yang Yang with Yi Yi

Can you imagine how sweet they are to me.

*You know I always put a small hair clip on my hair*

Even though I haven't seen him for about 3 months now but he still remember and always thinks of me! He even asked his mother to pretend to be lei lei jie jie the other day with his little sweet voice.

Explore the Necropolis of Qin Shi Huang

".........In a quest to celebrate his political and military power after his death, and to replicate his world in an attempt to achieve immortality, Emperor Qin Shi Huang built the largest unopened tomb in history...................."

"......Using quicksilver, they made the hundred rives of the land, the Yellow and the Yangtze, and the wide sea, and machines kept the waters in motion...........Recently, earth core samples were taken of the tomb mound and analyzed. The testing proves that there were rivers of mercury inside the tomb, laid out in the shape of a map of China............................"

"..............the mausoleum appears to be a vast divided pyramid, with passages leading to the tomb from the east and west, In size, the mausoleum is larger than the Great Pyramid in Egypt........".

The Family Man

. "What if you made different choices? you said yes instead of no, you got a second chance? ........"

The Family Man, one of Nicolas Cage's movie, super hilarious and entertaining.

Here comes the story - Jack Campbell (Academy Award Winnder Nicolas Cage ) is a single, wealthy Wall Street trader living the high life in New York City. All that magically changes one morning when he wakes up in a suburban New Jersey bedroom with a wife (Tea Leoni ) *She is so pretty * he never married and two kids he never had - the life he would have led if he had made different choices as a younger man.........

If you are given a second choice in life, what would you do ....

............................................................................................................................................

.Breath again .

She is running out of oxygen. She felt trapped. Everything's disobeying fixed schedule. What am I gonna do. She asked. "Shuddup" He said. She stunned. Couldn't feel anything around her. The cruel sorrowfulness has frozen her vehemence.......

.>. < .

I miss everyone at home!

............................................................................................................................................

All I need is support.

All I need is communication.

All I need is meaningful encouragement.

It's not easy to stay calm, and have clear thoughts.

I've been tru, And I hope I will create a magical moment next time.

It's hard to deal with that truculent, heartless, unreasonable, continuing stress!

lei lei, listen up, a lack of forbearance in small matters, do really upsets great plans.

So DO NOT GIVE UP! YOU CAN DO IT.

" Set on Death Row in a Southern prison in 1935, The Green Mile is the remarkable story of the cell block's head guard, who develops a poignant, unusual relationship with one inmate who possesses a magical gift that is both mysterious and miraculous......"

Green mile , you made me cry....

. Gold Coast . Harbour Town .

One day trip to gold coast on Saturday. We spent the whole day walking, shopping, eating, relaxing at Gold Coast. It was a pretty fine sunny day.

I spent only $20+ on that pretty fresh green top by Cue. *It was originally $90+ *What a good bargain* *Ginz*

ARTOLIFE . Living with Nature

I then spot this very super unique store -ARTOLIFE- along the walk. It was such a pretty and interesting place to visit. I am so truly in love with their products. Do visit their website, I am sure you will feel the same too. www.artolife.com

They also have plenty of beautiful designs printed on their tablewares. Love it. It is so artistic!

Thanks for all the photos. I miss you all so much! But hey, these are not even a 10 percent of my entire family members. I have a HUGE family! And Chinese New Year is always a perfect season to get everyone gather together. This is also the only time to get to have a good glance at everyone. Babies have grown bigger. New babies are out! Some had got married, some had got new boyfriend/girlfriend, etc etc. I am always amazed by how fast the times had really pass.

One last thing, everyone looks great! Keep smiling and stay healthy!

. Reunion Dinner .

An expensive seafood buffet dinner spent in the grand and glorious Hilton Hotel. Love the beautiful atmosphere, but my taste buds do not seem to really enjoy the food. It was a very western type of dinner. Very western indeed, I strongly dislike cold food. But the desserts were all nicely decorated and tasted very yummy. *slurrrp* There was one particular dessert that tasted like 'white wine', it was so special.

# Miss Lei Lei and xiao li

# Mr Danny, Simon and David

. Clubbing at Mercury .

# I cannot remember when was the last time I went clubbing. It was so long ago.

# I danced, moved, shaked, and I sweated like hell

# Not even one hour, and we decided to leave!

# I felt extremely tired and boring.

# Clubbing is not fun!

. Card Games .

We got home and played card games until 5 in the morning. *Wooh* Again, I cannot remember when was the last time I slept at 5am. But we were all so energetic, probably because of the new year approaching.

New Year Resolution

1. To accomplish my mission statements, to be a successful designer.

2. To try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, fruits, vege, exercise, etc.

3. To have a stronger and more powerful relationship with whoever I am closed with.

What is yours?

*Smile*
