Never Be Enough

While watching Crazy Rich Asians, I noticed a line in which Mrs. Young says to Rachel Chu that "[she] will never be enough"

Coming from a traditional Chinese family, I know exactly what that means... and Rachel Chu and most people got it wrong. There is a lost in translation.

It was a warning more than a threat.

In Chinese families, no matter what you do, you will never be enough. Even if you get A+ the parents will not be happy and ask why you didn't get extra credit (my family isn't like that... but I'm trying to emphasize how most Chinese/Asian families are).

Mrs. Young was trying to explain to Rachel Chu that no matter how good she is (pretty, smart, etc), she will never be good enough... and yet she mistook it as a threat or a challenge.

Noah

Happy April! I had an intense few weeks so I didn't get to blog much... I had lots of "small"thoughts, I will gather them and put it as one post.

I got to watch Noah last night

movie tickets to Noah

to be honest, I didn't like it... the video transition, edit was terrible; the sounds were cheesy, and the worst, the movie plot made no sense... 

I was really looking forward to this movie as it was one of my favourite Bible stories. I was heartbroken by how badly made this movie was... they even made Noah seem like an insane senseless cruel man. They tried to make it "epic" but it was not. 

I found this on a friend's facebook, thought I would share this with you...

it seriously has been a long time since I have seen a movie I couldn't wait for it to be over... 2.5 hours seemed too long :(. I feel they tried too hard... making it into quite a disaster...
