A Dog's Story

Had dinner with family today after a long day in school. We went to a Taiwan Japanese Restaurant at Robertson Quay. Not too bad, but WE still prefer Liu San Ge as it is much more delicious there. Haha.

After dinner we went nearby for dessert, Laurent Cafe & Chocolate Bar. They serve really nice chocolate desserts there.



I like their Warm Chocolate Cake. Prices are reasonable too.

Mouth Watering eh? :)

Anyway, Boss told me about this movie that he wanted to watch today. I want to watch it too! The movie title is "Hachikō: A Dog's Story", a true story based on a dog's loyalty to it's owner.

Extract from Wikipedia:

Picture of Hachikō

In 1924, Hachikō was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life Hachikō saw him off from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.

Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he did not see his friend among the commuters at the station.

The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.

This continued for 10 years, with Hachikō appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station.

Hachikō eventually passed away.

This movie is a remake of the 1987 movie: Hachikō Monogatari. I was 1 year old then, so I guess I didnt have the luck to catch it. Luckily they remade it. Haha. I'll go catch it when I have the time. You guys should too!!

Intriguing eh? :)

Boss told me that he read a similiar story in one book called "The Pet Hero", and it was like 15 years ago. I want to WATCH it!
黑夜 wrote something sad again. Share with you guys.

过去点滴像雕刻 深深的刻进心里
从陌生到相识 从相惜到最后的离别
毕竟我们过了界 不再是朋友更不是恋人
不问为什么 也没说再见
只知道我真的用了心 对你
