Heart - Alone

Last week while my dear n I had our Soup Spoon lunch at Tanjong Pagar... I heard a familiar and wonderful music from the opposite CD shop.. It's the classic song Alone, by Heart.

Oohh... The opening piano melodius never fail me.. .. so did the high-siren pitch by the lead vocal... haaa :)
This ever favorite rock ballards from the 80s... is really a power track.

"I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark...."
Hmm.. the catchy opening line had already glued me to the music... craving for more..
From the opening to the waning to the end... Ann Wilson seems to have so much feeling and power to it.

Here's a MTV on Heart - Alone.
Yeah, you can catch the 80s big hairdo as well :)

Heath Ledger - Best Supporting Actor

Oscar 2009.

The Best Supporting Actor award goes to... .. Heath Ledger, for his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

I am really, really glad that Heath Ledger has win his well-deserved award :) . This is his last chance to clinch the Oscar.

After his thumbs-up performance in Broke Back Mountain and The Dark Knight, Ledger is a young actor with even more promise to deliver, explore and to give. His role as the Joker is so intense and absolutely GREAT.... . His expression.. speaking manner.. and body movement ....woww!!

Heath Ledger is truly the best supporting actor in OSCAR 2009!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is an adapted 1920s story by F.Scott Fitzgerald. It is a story about Benjamin been born in an unusual circumstances. He age backwards from eighties years of age... This is my first encounter with such a story and film.

A flashback that take us though a strange condition, friendships, two character's different grown up story and, of coz, love story. The author and ...the director manage to tell the story seamlessly... the charactors' story, surrounding, encounter, time and pace are been blended in so smoothly. Simply wonderful. This 2hrs and 45mins film is so wonderful.

The love story of Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) and Daisy (Cate Blancett) is so touching. Two lover who wana so much to stay together forever, yet they had to be seperated ... because of Benjamin's unusual circumstances. Benjamin gave up all his fortune to Daisy and their beloved daugther and led a poor and lonely life. Daisy look after Benjamin when he began to become a child... and to infant.... .

Again, it is another great film with excellent stars performance. Brad Pitt, Cate Blancett and Tilda Swinton put up marvellous performances. Neverheless, when Benjamin turn from his thirties to twenties... and his youth hairstyle, he look so... charming. Cate Blancett's ballet dance and posture is so beautiful..I wonder is she an ex-ballet dancer?? Tilda Swinton.. oooh.. she look so classic! Didn't she? Her look and mannerism seem so timeless and elegant. Woww...

In the middle of this show, it sort of remind me of Titanic.. haa... well, coz in both film, the story are flashback from an old lady. A love story that dated back many decades ago. An affecting and heartbroken story. But of coz, I would still prefer The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Portsmouth 2-3 Liverpool

Portsmouth 2-3 Liverpool

Great strike from Aurelio, Kuyt and Torres :)

I think this is the 1st time that I see a Liverpool team starting with 6 defenders!!! Haa..
Frankly, Rafa really got the balls and brain to play with:

1) a new formation
2) 6 defenders
3) a new strike partnership
4) midfield partnership
.. . all in 1 important game!!!

Sometimes... ermm.. countless of times, our dear Rafa had left many of us, Kops Fans, scratching and pulling our hair in his team selections... haa... but at the same time, Rafa has also win over our admiration and taking away our hat for him :)

Gambas Run

2 days ago, I had finally ran from my house to Gambas Ave to Yishun and back-tracked from Gambas to my house again.... :)

I had always wanted to completed this route.... haa... and yesterday, while putting on my running gear, I had a sudden urge to run it :). Yeah, there I go...run it !!! Haa....

The distance is probably ard 5km? I cnt be sure is it more or less.... coz my timing for the run is pretty bad. I take approx 35min (including stopping at traffic junction) to cover the distance. 35min to cover 5km is quite slow. And I dun think the run is more than 5km... hence, not a good run-timing :p

Well, but the consolation is that I had finally completed the Gambas Run :)

Goodbye Keane

I am rather upset :( that Keane had left my beloved Liverpool... and returned to his Tottenham.

Initially when we got hold of Keane, most of us (the LFC supporters) are so happy about the transfer!! Yeah, a hardworking and a strong team player with crafty run and superb goal. A commited and high-spirit player. Well, apparently he didnt perform up to his ususal standard at Anfield... after 6 months... And there he goes... to his Tottenham, where he is a cult hero at White Hart Lane, again.

Well, now Keane is gone... EPL and FA Cup are still kicking off on every week... They wont wait for the Reds... The Reds still gona have to get over it and win as much as they can..

Perhaps, it's a case of a club gona bank-in as much as they could on an ageing player who didnt live up to his style in this high expectation club. Or perhaps, it's another case of a quality player who didnt fit into the club formation. Or perhaps, it's a signal from Benitez to his other players. Sacrifice a pawn to win the game.

Well, it could be the same as one's life... one doesnt fit or perform in the Organisation A, yet he flourish in Organisation B. One show loyalty to Oranisation A, yet he is been discarded away.

Goodbye Keane.
Good luck to you :)
