Disappointment after Disappointment

Something to spoil my happiness I thought I would have for today

at least, I thought..


Yesterday I rent a movie.. The one abv.

An intriguing tale of love and lost and the memories that bind us: Andy Lau play two very distinct characters both connected by accidents and chance encounters. Ko is a paramedic working with the ambulance team when he used to be a successful doctor. His wife died a few years ago from a car crash and he feels guilty about her death so he now leads a routine life of working at very fixed hours so that he can spend time with his family and friends.
One day, Ko saves Yuen-Sam who had an accident and starts to take an interest in her life and discovers that not only has her husband, Derek, went missing a few years back, she is also suffering from a terminal illness. Derek, was a famous stylist, who was actively pursued by a supermodel, seeking an affair with him. The affair strained his marriage with Yuen-Sam and after one big argument; he left without a word.
Yuen-Sam, tells Ko that her dying wish is to spend some happy times with Derek. Ko agrees to help and in his quest, he discovers that Derek actually looks very much like himself...

******************************************

From what I understood, part of it was about promises. The guy was a busy doctor. tried to be there but sometimes... *Sigh* while the wife was the one always waiting & waiting.. Taking note of the always broken promises & the always failed dates..

The touching scene when they had a date. the wife went to fetch her husband but she came earlier. Didnt want to worry him, she told him that she was still on the way. She waited and waited. After almost finishing his work, he called her. At that time, there was an urgent phone call from his boss. Heard the boss from the phone, she relent. On the way out from the carpark, she was knocked down & passed away.

******************************************

I'd always receive forward emails about not waiting the last minute to say what you want or wait the last minute to make up for it....

And I am trying my very best not to disappoint ppl that I love. trying very hard.

What's the morale of the story, u may ask.

Ask yourself..
