Chinese Love Story

Iseng-iseng blogwalking, karena hari sudah semakin siang, dan perut sudah semakin lapar. Akhirnya, mata oma berhenti pada posting-an Mr Pinokioze.

Sebuah cerita tentang cinta, yang mungkin terdengar classic atau ada yang lebih tega menyebutnya kampungan. Tapi, buat Oma, cerita ini adalah sebuah inspirasi untuk mencintai seseorang dengan sepenuh hati, unconditionally. Dan, satu lagi, sebuah inspirasi untuk setia sampai mati (jadi ndak berlaku tuh lagu S.H.E yang 'Selingkuh Sekali Saja').

Here it is,... enjoy.


Satu kisah cinta (Love Story) dari China dan yang cukup menyentuh. Kisah ini adalah kisah seorang laki-laki dan seorang wanita yang lebih tua, yang melarikan diri untuk hidup bersama dan saling mengasihi dalam kedamaian selama setengah abad. Laki-laki China berusia 70 tahun yang telah memahat 6000 anak tangga dengan tangannya (hand carved) untuk isterinya yang berusia 80 tahun itu meninggal dunia di dalam goa yang selama 50 tahun terakhir menjadi tempat tinggalnya.

50 tahun yang lalu, Liu Guojiang, pemuda 19 tahun, jatuh cinta pada seorang janda 29 tahun bernama Xu Chaoqin ....

Seperti pada kisah Romeo dan Juliet karangan Shakespeare, teman-teman dan kerabat mereka mencela hubungan mereka karena perbedaan usia di antara mereka dan kenyataan bahwa Xu sudah punya beberapa anak....

Pada waktu itu tidak bisa diterima dan dianggap tidak bermoral bila seorang pemuda mencintai wanita yang lebih tua.....Untuk menghindari gossip murahaan dan celaan dari lingkungannya, pasangan ini memutuskan untuk melarikan diri dan tinggal di sebuah goa di Desa Jiangjin, di sebelah selatan Chong Qing.

Complete story...>>

Thanks Mr Pino for the inspiration

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho...

The unexpected wedding

Almost every girl has ever dreamt of her wedding day – what she would wear, who would come, who the prince charming is. I would say, every girl must have a certain expectation and standard when it comes to a wedding: it could be grand, small celebration, family only, destination wedding – you name it. My dream wedding happens to me a small, close friends and family only wedding. If you grew up in the 90s, you would know a boy band called 98 degree. They had a song titled ‘I do’. If you search on YouTube, you will find the video clip, which shows a beautiful wedding ceremony. That’s my dream wedding! My whole life, I was picturing that. Twelve years ago, I started dating this guy, who is now my husband. His family background is very different than mine. Among other things – which we thankfully have tolerated and worked on – the way to throw a wedding party is totally different. His dream wedding party is ‘tell the world I am getting married’-kind of party. Yes, he wanted grand...

Cold Feet

One of my closest friends is getting married tomorrow another one in May another one in November. and an ex-classmate is also getting married in April/May. and, I dreamed about getting married last night. I remember some months ago I was so enthusiastic with the idea of getting married. Although I knew that our relationship was not yet ready for that stage, I was so pushy to Stefy. I had asked him when exactly we would get married. Ah well, it was all the flashy things that I longed for. Right now, what I want is to avoid it! I am just not brave enough to throw myself into this new status. Don't get me wrong, I am probably just like any other girls out there who like the beautiful wedding gown, like to be made up, like to be the queen of the night. But, have you ever considered what would happen after you wave off the guests and head to your own home, starting your new chapter of life? or what would happen after the happy chappy honeymoon? Would we then live...
