真没想到看功夫片也会泪流满面。
It was supposed to be the little sister's birthday celebration yesterday and I brought her and the siblings out for a rock climbing session which we all enjoyed thoroughly. I saw how this plucky young lady pushed herself to reach beyond her limits and attempted to scale the hardest wall. Even when she failed, she would ask me "I feel like trying again. Can I go again?" Of course, my dear. I hope you will never give up easily in your life and always have the courage to pursue your dreams.
When I asked her if we could go catch a movie that Papa and I wanted to watch after dinner, she said sweetly "Sure, okay!". Yup, thankful for kids who are willing and happy to watch movies with us since young. So we booked tickets for a late night show at Shaw Jewel at 9:20pm so the hubby could rush to join us after work. Oh, what show did we watch? Yup, you guessed it - Ip Man 4: The Finale.
I remember that the hubby and I watched 叶问 3 in 2015 with the baby boy when he was just a week old. We had watched the first two movies too and were impressed not just by the fighting scenes but the touching story of how this 一代宗师 fought not for fame or power but for justice and equality. In this finale movie, what struck a chord with me was the theme of parental love. I practically choked on my tears at the part where his defiant teenager son was only willing to talk to him when he realised that his father was dying. And guess what? My firstborn told me she cried at that scene too. Awwww. 这母女怎么那么容易流泪呢...
So we all learnt a lesson together from our experiences yesterday and that is to never stop trying, to know that you are capable of amazing things and to never let others define your worth. You are who you are.
P.S. It's Christmas Eve today and we are busy wrapping presents and getting our home ready for a party tomorrow! Yup, another party! It's gonna be the last one for this year and a great way to end off 2019 for us. Have a wonderful Christmas Eve today too, people, and let's all spread some love and joy together. ♥️
