Saturday night, I host the dinner at New Hama for old classmate James, Tom and his wife joint the dinner as guest as well, James come from HK , when we were in College, he is the outstanding student among our average classmate, student leader, active in public affair, and was elected as the chairman for graduation committee, all he did were what we didn't familiar as a " Student", then he join the army after graduation from school, dramatically is that when done his military service, he married a British girl -- yes, a English lady and a lawyer, then thy live in London; when their first child was born, we heard that the kid developed a rare disease, a miss-complete of DNA , and it cause the little child paralyze and can't close her eyes when sleeping, it's a very suffering disease, I saw the little girl twice in Hong Kong , when the servant feed her, it seems the food is very difficult to swallow even it's in liquid form; then he devoice with his English wife in HK, return the single statue and work in a trading company based in Hong Kong, since he move to HK eight years ago, we met often then before, whenever I got t chance to see him during my business trip, we will have deal or drinks then, so, I am somehow connected with his life, one lady who he seeing quit often can't stand to keep the child with them, so, they broke up. the other girl who he is dating now seems accept the situation James is facing, unfortunately, their seeing each other was not blessing by the girl's parent, so the re-marriage arrangement is kind of far away.
We did the dinner , 3 couple talked about school days and classmate, I think James want to show the girl Taipei more, so, we didn't continue our drink after meal.
Sunday it the day for kid , the whole family go for the Disney animation movie " Looking for Nemo ", a film by Pixar , a great film , great animation, great story and great lines, when follow the movie in the theater, you will forget that this is an animation and simply go with the flow and your feeling drives by the story in the movie, this is a film for the family, not for kid only, no wonder it generate more than 400m box office for US only, I can see that the equivalent amount of revenue will come when the DVD releases, this is a definitely must for collector.
At night, I brought my wife to another comedy " the in-laws " casting by Mike Douglas. a funny and interesting movie, there's an ender woman sitting next to us who keep laughing throughout the movie, we were wondering if she have some psychic problem; to comparison the story, I think in-laws have a better story outline then bad boy 2 , BB2 did a terrible job in translating English to Chinese subtitle, the translator putting too much local flavor and change the meaning of original English, it was not a pleasant experience , and it will lead the audience a wrong impression about the American slang, this part is what I didn't like the most.
