~ Clint Eastwood, The Bridges of Madison County
In five days, an embryo or what will eventually become a baby, in the form of blastula attaches to the wall of the female uterus. When it comes into contact with the uterus it performs implantation. Implantation connections between the mother and the embryo will begin to form, including the umbilical cord. In normal human words, in just five days, a baby would already begin to attach to the mother and develop a connection that will last a lifetime.
In five days, a new movie release is measured in terms of box office success and is the most critical of any entertainment industry be it even in music for the hype to catch up. Failing to capture the audience's attention in this period is a definite recipe of disaster. In summary, any release has five days to make its mark in history and decide its fate.
People in the civilised world who were under the British imperial rule, work and get paid in five days to which most is spent on being happy with alcohol and a great weekend. People go away on trips and holidays by travelling to short distances and meet up. In fact, everyone gets paid after five days and gets to be happy and merry.
On the fifth day of the Chinese/Lunar New Year, people eat Jiǎozi (simplified 饺子), or dumplings on the morning of Po Wu (破五). This is also the birthday of the Chinese god of wealth. In Taiwan, businesses traditionally re-open on this day, accompanied by firecrackers. People start working after five days of Chinese New Year.
Five days:
If an embryo is connected to the mother in almost the most important relationship of the life the baby will have, imagine how much five days mean to me without the most important relationship of my life.
If success of any commercial release is measured in five days, imagine how much these five days mean when I've lost all meaning and hope and the only success I have is in being alive and missing you.
If people get paid after five days in the civilised world under the past Imperial rule, then my only reward after five days is to see you again which is simply the most perfect gift a sealamb can ask for.
If after five days of celebrating Chinese/Lunar New Year, people go back to work. After five days, I will finally get to work on making you smile and make you the happiest most happy and contented women in the world.
Baby, after five days of waiting, this is my moment, this is our moment. The moment of perfection when you return back to where you belong. Right here, in my heart that has never stopped beating for you. I love you and am waiting for you. So smile on the jetplane back, smile for me. Its a beautiful Sunday because its all about you and it will always be about you. Waiting for you.
PS. Bie, I love you and these words will ring ever true. It seems all my life, every moment has been one step closer to holding your hand for a lifetime. Waiting for your smile to come back :D
