Twice touched in the heart

Today, I didn't have any plans at all as I didn't have any class as my lecturer is in China (but it may be one of those rare occasions where there's no class on a saturday T_T ). As I was playing games on the computer, Archana SMSed wondering what I was doing. Not knowing that I didn't have a class. After a short while, Khairi also SMSed asking if I wanted to go out to meet her. I asked Billy if he would like to join but he's tied down with family commitments. So, I asked Khairi to come and pick me up.


We met up with Archana in Sunway Pyramid and had lunch at McD. After that, we helped her present hunting for a married couple and a friend's birthday. And ended up buying a set of beautiful china bowls for the couple and earrings as her friend's birthday present. Since it's still early (it was around 1.45pm), we decided to catch a movie, which took a short time to consider and decide. We ended up watching "Marley and Me".


I didn't read the book before but here's a little bit about the story. It's about John and Jenny Grogan going through their lives' ups and downs with the world's worst dog, Marley. There were mostly funny scenes in the movie but near towards the end, the scene was sad and touching that I actually cried a bit (yes I did, so go ahead and laugh your heads off if you want to). I was actually surprised that Archana was surprised to see me cry (She was sitting between me and Khairi in the cinema). We did a bit of window shopping before leaving.

Then, after I reached home and had my shower and dinner, I watched "Quill" at 8.30pm on 8tv. It's a japanese movie dubbed in Cantonese about the life of Quill as a guide dog for the blind. Also near the ending of the show, I nearly cried (Strike 2 =="). Wow, got touched in the heart twice in a day. How lucky can I be...lol.

Well...usually movies like "Marley and Me", "Quill", "Helen" and other japanese movies featuring animals can affect me in such a way though...^^"
