若要人似我﹐隨非兩個我

I learned a new Chinese quote today. You can't expect everyone to think like you and act like you. It's reality. Therefore, show tolerance. Everyone's different. Everyone's unique.

WALL-E

SQ and I went on a movie date to watch "WALL-E." It's Pixar's newest animated film about 2 robots, WALL-E and EVE. I don't want to give the story away, so all I will say is that the plot is really original, imaginative, and intriguing. It's one of Pixar's best films. There isn't a lot of dialogue in the film because the robots didn't talk, but only made sounds that resemble words. But you can follow the storyline. Kids will love it for the comedy and cuteness, and adults will appreciate the key messages the creators want to raise. It's a great movie - highly recommend it!
