Featured drink: Pepsi float with pop fizz (nicknamed Dancing Xi Xi)
Now, what will you get when two terminally ill young people come together? A romance of no tomorrow. This may be highly unlikely in real life but the probability of it happening is still possible. This story is about a deeper meaning of love, where two souls connect while knowing that they do not have a future like any other ordinary couples. They live life to the fullest and fall so deeply in love with each other...
Li Ang lives his life on the wild side. Knowing that his days are numbered, he decides to sell off all his possessions, left his parents and wander around with his only beloved harley motorbike named Lightning. He would not see a girl twice, meaning that he probably has one night stands and not any long lasting relationships.
Xi Xi, a very happy optimistic girl who has been loved by her parents since young because she has a congenital heart disease. She has been through numerous operations that kept her alive all these years. But as such the operations were at their max and the doctors had advised her if she wanted to do anything she should go and do it.
As fate would be, they met each other while on the highway, with Xi Xi speeding in her mini convertible (Omo! I love her car!) and Li Ang passes her by on his bike. The two exchange glances and it was love at first sight for Xi Xi... She fell for Li Ang because he was so cool... Hahahh!!
Xi Xi tries to chase Li Ang with her car but he speeds off like lightning...(Haha! Sorry, couldn't resist! ;P) The couple met each other again when Xi Xi accidentally knocks over Lightning outside the diner.
Yes, love at first sight again! This time Li Ang falls for Xi Xi. He didn't scold her for knocking over his beloved bike. Haha!! Xi Xi realises that Li Ang is also just like her, terminally ill and had nothing to lose. She asks him to help complete her bucket list... The things she wanted to do before she dies... Li Ang refuses at first, but then later he agreed. The two rides off and did all sorts of things together like playing volleyball on the beach and riding the roller coaster! (Hmm, actually the roller coaster part is a bit unbelievable... if Li Ang has a brain tumour the pressure/ G-force from the ride can actually be harmful to him...but it's just a drama I know!)
Xi Xi collapses after a couple of days and Li Ang thought he would lose her already. He dreamt of her in a cold snowy place all alone. (Not sure why they put in this part but I guess it has something to do with life after death kind of thing...)
Xi Xi awakes in the hospital with her family by her side. Li Ang appears at the same hospital as well (okay, no drama logic here!) He said he checked in to see how much time he has left to live. The two runs away (again?!) from the hospital and rides off... They ended up back at the diner. With the encouragement of the customers there, Li Ang proposes to Xi Xi with a Pepsi can ring (Hahah! Yes, in case you didn't notice by now the sponsor is Pepsi) The diner boss became their master of ceremony and marries them. (What?! I know...)
Some happy moments the couple takes some studio wedding photos and one more outing to the amusement park.
Now, one of Xi Xi's wish was to experience snow. They managed to secure plane tickets and a paramedic to go with them but alas, when the day they were about to depart Xi Xi's heart couldn't hold up anymore. She passes away in Li Ang's arms... Omo... so sad!
As you can guess there wouldn't be a happy ending for these two (at least for now).. Li Ang says goodbye to his beloved motorbike Lightning by dunking it into the sea... Crazy! He was riding with Xi Xi's younger brother when he plunged into the waters. Li Ang's definitely one insane brother-in-law! Li Ang passes away as well some time later.
One day during winter that year, it started to snow. It has never snowed before and it was a strange phenomenon. The diner boss steps outside his restaurant to feel the snow falling... and he heard someone calling him. Seriously, this guy is like Sixth Sense! He can see dead people hahahah! The diner boss turns and sees Xi Xi and Li Ang dancing happily in the snow... Somewhat happy ending but in the afterlife... the two are together now...
No featured food but a drink here.. I thought it looked kinda illegal when Xi Xi started to put the pop fizz on the float... something like adding drugs! But it's all good, no worries! I prefer A&W root beer float but I guess Pepsi could do as well. Should try it someday...
