Hearty Paws

For those who think this is Quill number 2, you are wrong!! And if you are thinking of bring some kids to watch a heartwarming show about a cute little dog, stop now!

This show is about a poor dog, who gets blamed for her little master's death, subsequently gets abandoned, journeyed on stony railway tracks, having to steal, beg, and rampaged the garbage dump for food, and was almost caught by some uniformed people. After reconciling with her boy master, she got whacked by a baddie, bitten by another mad dog, burdened with a sick master who can't take care of himself, down with frailing eyesight, got whacked again while trying to rescue his master. And finally, when the bad guy is gone, she dies! How depressing can it get?

The little girl sitting near us was absolutely devastated by all the cruel acts to the dog, I can hear her crying for the most part of the show. I almost feel sorry for her. Was wondering if she will get over this trauma.

BUT having said all that, it is a very good show. Heartwrenching at times, nonetheless the dog is once again depicted as the most loyal friend you can find on earth, and you will simply love her. I just hope no animals were hurt during the filming of this movie. Even to the mad dog in the show.

I know I should start mugging my textbooks, but I just can't get it going. Instead I completed another novel by John Grisham, The Pelican Brief. It was an old book, and was made into a movie way back in 1993, though I'd never watch the show.

I told myself that this will be my last story book for a while, I should concentrate on the more important stuff, but.. haha.. Curse the Boon Lay library to have so many good books. When I returned The Pelican Brief, I just wanted to have a walk in the library. In the end I borrowed 3 books again. Deception Point from Dan Brown, Sphere from Michael Chricton and The Client from John Grisham.

Some of my favourite authors.. 中毒太深...
