Finally, the show, The break-up started screening! i just went to watch the movie, which i have been waiting for months!!
It was kinda nice....not exactly the light-hearted romance comedy that you are hoping to see. Instead, you will experience lotsa squabbling and non-stop quarrels....almost everything....and little things. And somehow it kinda resembles the relationship i had with him in the first 2 years of our relationship. While Brooke sacrificed her time and made effort beyond her own expectations to please Gary, Gary took those for granted unknowingly and never had cared for her. They do things together..Oops...They do things according to what GARY wants and never had Gary offer to bring her to ballet, which is what she likes. So one day it got out of hand, and Brooke decided to call it quits. But they were still staying together in the same condo. So lotsa things happened and Gary realised how important Brooke is to him. So he tried to win her back.
While i was watching the show, i can't help but to relate it to myself. It was so similar! The issues between me and him, Brooke and Gary. It was good that in the end, both him and Gary realised the importance of the gal in their lives, showed their regrets and made an effort to make things better. hahaha.
There is this particular phrase by Brooke (Jennifer Ainston) to Gary (Vince Vaugh) that caught my attention: "I want you to want to do the dishes!" Then Gary replied "Why do i want to do the dishes!?!?" Sigh.. You see..Men don't see BEYOND the surface!! There are many times women hope their men can take their initiative to do things for them. But they can never get the hint! So often, he will say "i believe in communicating...just tell us what to do." BUT come on!!! If we were to tell u this and that, it wouldn't be the same anymore right? And that's what women hates. It should be come from your own willingness, from your own heart...coz then it showed that you bloody care enough to WANT to do the dishes or share any things! Sigh! Men just don't get it...do they?
Anyway, throughout the show, it just reminded me of those rough times we had together and the time when i really felt enough was enough. I even cried when Brooke broke down...when she had given up hope on Gary. I felt so much for her.
However, what was comforting is that...the man that sat next to me throughout, is still the same man who had gone thru all these shits together. Ooops, I beg your pardon, he's now a changed man.
Thank you, honey. Muacks.

Christchurch, New Zealand:
We took the TansAlpine train ride to a small town. The main attraction is the 9 hours scenic train ride (round trip). We passed by a lot of lovely scenery...the alps...the river...and valley....It was simply awesome. However, the cold was extremely unbearable. To take a good picture, you gotta go to the last cabin where there's no windows... Tell me, with a weather of about 10degrees and the constant wind blowing onto your face....how to take a pic??!?Especially when my hands turned numb once i took them out. Sigh... 
Once upon a time, a man came to live on this island near the beach. He picked up a stone and ponder what he can do with it. By chance, he discovered he can polish them and sell. From then on, it has become his passion, his work, his life. The second picture showed this man and what he had picked up...the jaw of a whale!! He, ingeniously, made a wall out of these stones...
At the top of the mountain, we had some complimentary warm wine...had a cup of coffee, mushroom pie and scone. Imagine...the cold weather...sitting inside a cafe on top of the mountain with a magnificent view over the valley...with clear blue skies....the aromatic smell of coffee and fresh air...delicious pie and scone. Nice.
