*****************************************************************
I was at secondary school when watching this drama, attractive me to continue watch because of the beautiful place, nice looking of Anne Shirley & Gilbert and of course with the good story. Elder sister & I chase this drama until the end. That time i'm quite crazy to see Anne & Gilbert so delay the school work after finished the drama. The drama show at 8:30~9:30pm(if not mistake) after finished it then rush for school work. 

I wish to go there someday -- Prince Edward Island, Canada.
I love this drama, it's give me a lot of memory.

Happy Valentine's Day & Chap Goh Mei (情人节和元宵节快乐）

 

情人节~西方国家的情人节现今已成为全世界情人的重要日子了。无论老少都渐渐地开始留意起来，尤其少年和年轻人更重视。这都要归功于媒体和商家的大力宣传。

今年的2月14刚好遇上元宵节，19年来的中西情人节， 非常难得喔！

在这发达先进的社会，庆祝方式也逐步变成精彩也可说是高消费的日子。所以也造就了不少赚钱商机，很多领域的商家都有受惠。花样和种类多到不知如何选择，消费者钱包可要大出血啦！但也视乎你要以什么方式，多数人都会以视像，看得到的物质来表达，昂贵或简单都有。如感情进入稳定阶段互相明白及了解后，心意高于价值了。当然日子久了后也会期待惊喜所以偶尔也该送上礼物。。。其实心思也很重要，花再多钱但不了解对方的喜爱而大概/随意买，会影响气氛哦。。。

致于元宵节呢主要有吃元宵(汤圆）、猜灯谜、放天灯等。一些地区会有大型的花灯会，青年男女会出外赏灯，也是结识的机会，因此有“中国情人节”之称。在马来西亚，未婚男女在元宵节聚集到河边抛柑，并在柑上面写下姓名和联络方式，希望就此结识可以携手共行的伴侣。蛮有趣。。。

其实彼此心灵上能得到良好的共识/沟通和包容是非常难得的，也是一份珍贵的礼物了。天天都是情人节！

无论怎样的庆祝方式开心就好，要感恩，满足我们还能在那么安心自在的情况下庆祝。

** 情人节快乐！祝福大家找到对的人 **

You are not alone (你并不孤单)

You are not alone ~~~

我很喜欢这句话和这图像，当时为了要表达我内心话上网找就那么巧看到合适的。
自从我嫁为人妻后，小妹很不习惯因我们关系一直都很好很粘，所以多少会以为我忽略了她。去年我发布这图像在微博，也尽量抽时间倍倍她，当然她也长大了，开始学会释怀，体谅了。很开心又慚愧有时候她还帮我想点子呢 。。:-) 谢了可爱的小妹

要与你们分享另一个不错的图像+文句, 有意思。看看吧！

When Benjamin Mee decided to uproot his family and move them to an unlikely new home—a dilapidated zoo where more than 200 exotic animals would be their new neighbors—his friends and colleagues thought he was crazy. Mee’s dream was to refurbish the zoo and run it as a family business. The grand reopening was scheduled for spring, but there was much work to be done and none of it easy for the novice zookeepers. Tigers broke loose, money was tight, the staff grew skeptical, and family tensions reached a boiling point.Then tragedy struck. Katherine, Ben’s wife, had a recurrence of a brain tumor, forcing Benjamin and his two young children to face the heartbreak of illness and the devastating loss of a wife and mother. But inspired by the memory of Katherine and the healing power of the incredible family of animals they had grown to love; Benjamin and his kids resolved to move forward, and today the zoo is a thriving success.

I'm so touching on Benjamin love to his wire & children. Admire on his brave & persistence.

想说的话。。。
当男主角回忆他离世的太太，看着一家人的欢乐影片时我都要掉泪了。为了孩子做了如此勇敢的决定，他那份坚持和太太遗产的帮助下终于如愿以偿。亲子关系也改善了。很感动,佩服因这是真人故事，不一样的感触。值得推荐。
