This heartwarming true story is an American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko.

Sadly his master departs one day, passes away and never returns to the station. Hachiko faithfully returns to the same spot at the station the very next day, and every day for the next nine years to wait for his beloved master. During his daily visits, Hachiko touches the lives of many who work near and commute through the town square. He teaches the local people love, compassion and above all unyielding loyalty. Today, a bronze statue of Hachiko sits in his waiting spot outside the Shibuya station in Japan as a permanent reminder of his devotion and love.
Movie Review
This is a unique movie. It's a non fiction, true story of a dog. In the movie, the director also specially filmed certain parts of the movie from a dog's perspective, and also adding a black and white effect to let viewers know that we are in a realistic dog's point of view. A relatively touching story. It's a must see for all dog lovers, but please bring your tissue along.

After movie, we went to Breadtalk to get some bread before heading for recording. A group of girls asked if we want to combine bill to get the promotion price. Boss agreed but after that decided to give them a treat instead. But they were too shy and kept insisting to pay. Haha. Damn cute la.
Anyway I know one of them gave her name as Jun, while I didnt manage to get the other two's name. So if you're here, do leave a tag, and enjoy your bread. (",)
Went for my recording of jingle for LOVE 97.2FM. Not easy as well. Lol. Anyway I also recorded a few chinese new year blessing note to all the listeners from different radio stations, namely, JIA 88.3FM, YES 93.3FM, Capital 95.8FM, Love 97.2FM, Radio 100.3FM and Redifusion.
Hope the DJs like it, just a small appreciation from me for taking care of ME for the past few years till today. Thank you!
