The Reader

I watched The Reader this afternoon. At first, I was finding it difficult to understand, because it did not make any sense to me. Hanna was always angry with him on small things, often throwing her tantrum on him. Did she really love the kid? Why did she leave the kid?

Everything made sense - when the movie came to the middle. She was ashamed of her illiteracy and jealous on girls who can read and write. She could work very well by executing instructions. Without instructions, she felt that she could not work and don't know how to work.

The Kid - finally grew into a man. He was still the Kid who loved her and could not forgive her for leaving him of "no reason". He doubted on the reason of her being with him. He refused to visit her before she was charged. After years, he divorced. Suddenly, he started reading her stories by sending her the tapes. Why did he made the tapes for her after years?

I cried when he read and taped stories for her. Why did he do this to her?
He was told that she was going to be released soon after 20 years of jail. Finally he visited her. He questioned her on whether she had learned a lesson from what she did for Nazis. Why did he do this to her?

看了这套电影- 他为她念书是很浪漫的事。可是，这也是对她最残忍的报复。一个没有受教育的人，生活在不对的时代到底为她带来了什么冲击？一个文盲觉得自卑而想做出“伟大的事”究竟要用什么方法？遇见对的人，爱上了，又要怎样面对自己的过去呢？两个生活在不同时代的人要如何同一步伐？看到了他们-我只想到珍惜两个字。

The Time Traveler's Wife~Book Discussion

It's fun to think about the following questions..... Discussion Questions from the Publisher In The Time Traveler's Wife , the characters meet each other at various times during their lifetime. How does the author keep all the timelines in order and "on time"? Although Henry does the time traveling, Clare is equally impacted. How does she cope with his journeys and does she ultimately accept them? How does the writer introduce the reader to the concept of time travel as a realistic occurrence? Does she succeed? Henry's life is disrupted on multiple levels by spontaneous time travel. How does his career as a librarian offset his tumultuous disappearances? Why does that job appeal to Henry? Henry and Clare know each other for years before they fall in love as adults. How does Clare cope with the knowledge that at a young age she knows that Henry is the man she will eventually marry? The Time Traveler's Wife is ultimately an enduring love s

Thoughts @ ICAAP

1) It was my 5th day at Bali. The conference was great. It gave me some times to think about the project that I am currently handling and some ideas on where the project should direct to and how to work on it. I couldn't have done that if I continue to stay at the office. Too much works and I was doing for the sake of finishing it. 2) I met an American lady at the conference when waiting bus at the drop-off place. Yeah, another American lady... She is lovely and talkative. She works at Hanoi, Vietnam and has been working there for more than 10 years. She told me a lot about her life, from internship at Fiji, studying at Uni Hawaii, working at Thailand, Switzerland, so on ...... and how she met her husband. She said a lady like her, who is so independent and mobilize, would not think of marriage or meeting a guy. Unexpected, she met her husband at Vietnam, who was working there too. The most wonderful part was that her husband came from the same area as she was. Just few years ago,

用一杯咖啡的时间 (spend some time drinking coffee with me)

亲爱的： 我每一天都在期待这段时间。当早晨的太阳洒落在马克砌成的小圆桌时，你拿着咖啡向我走来。我随手接过，然后我和你坐在客厅的角落。你看你的头版，我看我的娱乐版。你说：怎么又看没营养的新闻？ 哪有人天生爱看营养的新闻? 看越多新闻的人，压力就越大，严重影响健康。 然后，我们又沉默了，回到各自的世界去。
