On this day of your life, Chen, we believe God wants you to know...
... that to find out who you are becoming find stories that move your heart.


Just like a seed has an image of the tree in it, so does your heart have an image of who you are becoming. Look for stories in movies and books that resonate in your heart, and you will find glimpses of your possible futures. What is your favorite story?

--------

one story i felt really resonated in my heart, is Fated To Love You.

i am not sure what it's meant by resonating in the heart, maybe it means i can totally understand the character's feelings? her motives, her thoughts etc. really? is that resonance?

what if i say i can understand how the bad characters in some stories feel, are they glimpses of my possible futures?

sigh. i hope not man. but they don't really resonate that strongly as FTLY.

in FTLY, the lead character, is probably a glimpse of my future. i hope.

her name is Chen Xin Yi. since young, she has been given impressions that she is unwanted & extra. that's because her mom conceived her by accident, & showed very obvious bias towards her sisters rather than her. however, she would tell her mom tt she was born to lighten her burdens & worries. :)

in the office, she is known as the post-it girl. she is someone who tries to please everybody & is afraid of offending other people. therefore, she doesn't really have her own opinions, & maybe doesn't have her own personality. her way of pleasing other people is to help them in little chores like buying lunch/coffee, photocopying documents, replacing them to work OT et cetera. they just have to put a little post-it on her shirt(because she is too busy) & she will do it for sure. she thought that this is the way to let people like her, & she believed it when people tell her she photocopies things very fast, she brews really nice coffee... & so she kept on helping them.

when actually they were just making use of her to do their daily chores T.T

one day, she accidentally slept with a stranger, whom she thought was her boyfriend(who was cheating on her). she became pregnant & married the stranger(Ji Cun Xi), because his grandmother wanted a great-grandson very badly, afraid of the curse that caused their family to have only one son for 9 generations.

however, cunxi had a girlfriend already, but she went to NY to pursue her career in ballet, and told him to wait for her for another 2 years. cunxi didn't want to marry chen xin yi, so without his grandmother's knowledge, he made chen xin yi sign a divorce agreement, forcing her to get out of the family after she gives birth to the baby. in return, he would give her a huge sum of money. however, chen xin yi told him, "i'm helping you not because of the money. i just want you to keep your promise not to hurt our islanders."
