Lust, Caution

I had finally watched the film Lust, Caution by Lee Ang.

An award winning film. A film that win 7 awards - Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Screenplay Adaptation, Best Film Score, Best Makeup and Costume Design and Best New Performer.

Tony Leung is always an outstanding actor. He is one of those elite actors that have absolute charisma. A face that give out unlimited expressions. A pair of eye that speak a thousands words. He could just sit down and smile, and you are been captured by him. Look at his classic suit in the film. Greatness.

Tang Wei is simple looking gal. Maybe it is of her simple and ordinary look that landed her the role, and of course, her Best new Performer award. Well, when she put on her Cheong Sum, make up and hairdo, she look like a drawing portrait. Yup, there were times that I am wondering is she an anime-computer effect (so popular in these days!!). Well, I have to say her poses, expressions and custome and makeup had make this film really beautiful.

Nevertheless, this is really a fantastic film. I had always like the old Shanghai setting. And I had not seen a good Shanghai setting show for ages. There are touching moments in this movie, however, sometimes there are moments for laugther as well. I wonder do Lee Ang put the laughter in with intention or have I mis-interpret it ... hee... ..

The original writer for this film is a Chinese writer, Eileen Chang. If not for her, this film would not be seen. If not for Lee Ang, this film might not be seen, as well.

Bread For The Old Lady

On the way home today, I felt hungry and decided to go the nearby coffeshop at the my MRT for a supper. When I was at the coffeshop, I decided to check out another nearby eating house for other food varieties. Hence, I made a U-turn. And I saw an old lady walking and dragging some carton-boxes. Then I saw a lady approached the old lady and gave her a bread.

*Flashback - I remember when I was young and living in my old housing area, somtimes, my mum would packet some meals and told me to go and gave it to an old lady at her home, who is staying nearby us. Sometime when the old lady is not around the house, I would just walk into the house (the door is not lock) and left the packet of food there. Sometimes, I am afraid a large black dog, that loom around the area, would suddenly bark or jump into my path. hee...... *

Well, eventually I still went back to the same coffeshop at the MRT for a supper. After finished my meal, on my way home, I saw the old lady sitting at a corridor with many carton boxes (some flaten). She is sitting over there and eating somthing ( I think it is the bread from the lady). Hmmmm.... .. And I decided to made a U-turn again and go to a confectionery shop and buy a packet of red bean bread for her. Well, I thought the bread might be a bit "boring" for her, but I couldn't buy her noodles or fried rice as I am afraid that she might eat a little and keep the food overnight. The food might go stale, and cause her more harm. And I don't want to buy her those fanciful bread as she may not like it. So I go for the "normal" red bead bread as I thought old people may like it.

Of course, some people may feel "shy" to offer or feel that "why should they offer". Well, think about it, here I am enjoying a plate of supper but I do not buy her some simple food? If you were me, what would you think/do? Sometimes, we are lucky to have what we have right now.

If we can offer, we should offer.
Yeah?

Great Fight From The Reds!

Liverpool put on a fantastic fight that earn them a progress to the next stage of Champion League.

Goals by Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Dirk Kuyt and Ryan Babel had send the fans into ecstasy. A great comeback from the Reds team with 3 incredible straight win - 8-0 win over Besiktas, 4-1 win over FC Porto and a 4-0 win over Marseille.

Great goal from Torres, again. A pass from the talented Kewell and a run with stride and cool finish from Torres. Excellent goal.

Nevertheless, credit to all the players who really play together as a team.

So this is Christmas.. and what have you done?

"So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun"

John Lennon, Merry Christmas (War Is Over)


I had always love this song. The lyrics and the melody sound so simple, yet striking enough.

Lots of time, when I heard this song, I would think back on what have I done this (for that year) year. Well, lots of time, I didn't accompolish much. But this year (after so many years), I had finally done and complete 2 task. Mission completed. Although it is not a very big deal or big success, at least I try and fulfill it.

No. 1 - Vit M (2 years project and it is in the track, although it is far away from the destination). Although it is a bit late to kick-off this project, but at least "it is better late than never". Now it is moving to new phase.
No. 2 - FP (although this is not my first choice, but at least it fulfill part of my dream).

Of coz, FP had not being plan and move as what I had like, I hope it could be a better year ahead.
Next, I would like to see how S8 could develop. As usual - Saying is easy, Working on it is another thing. Well, maybe that is what made life so interesting. :) If everybody can do it, it is not special anymore.

Oh, back to the song-music. The music sound a bit sad, yet so heart-warming. Listen to the chorous part where the kids are singing. It sound great. And they sounded like "Hey, c'mon, another year is beginning soon. Another new start!". They sounded so enthusiastic and welcome of a new year.

Of coz, upon hearing this classic, it would also remind me of John Lennon. A talented artiste, who had left this world so early.

Somehow, I wonder this song sounded with so much feeling in it , is it becoz of the lyrics, melody or Mr Lennon who had left so early. Well, maybe is all the 3 reasons.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1zm4E9d1oo

Btw, pal, what have you done this year? It may be a bit 'sour or empty' feeling for people who had not accompolish their mission, but at least this is a sentence that is very simple and a true progress in your life. Like it or not, life goes on. The world will not stop for you. Well, the mission could be anything, eg, enjoying time with your love ones, writing a book, completed your drawing, building up a cafe, be a successful salesman, be more healthy, have more sleep, eaten more ice cream, etc. There are tons of task.

Well, enjoy your life.
Take care.
And Merry Christmas to you.

Milka Chocolate Bar

I had just eaten the Milka Chocolate bar, from my deary.

I can't resist chocolate. I wonder why is chocolate so tempting?
I could easily wipe out and enjoy a full slab of chocolate bar, but
I always have to control myself not to finish off, coz it will be too
"heated" for me and I may end up with sore throat and cough for
weeks.

Auntie Asking and Saying Again

That morning, my aunt came to house.

Trying to chat with me, she say "You still look the same.". I smile back.
And she ask "When are you getting married?". I smile back.
And she say "Wah, so long didn't see you. 1 year, see you 1 time only.". Again I smile back.

Hey, lots of time I wana say "Everytime you see me, you ask and say me the 3 same old stuffs again.".

Frankly, those stuffs could be translated to and I wish to say back (but I dun wana, coz you are my senior):

"You still look the same." - "You are still the same, still so skinny and not talking much."
Hey, you think I am on diet to stay slim? Yeah, I don't talk much... and partly is because I don't like talking to you. You are always trying to talk with pricks.

"When are you getting married?" - "You are already so old, what are you waiting for?"
Hey, you think marriage have to be forced? Frankly, are you really asking a general question or trying to rubbing salt into me? I don't mind some people asking me, but not you.

"Wah, so long didn't see you. 1 year, see you 1 time only." - "Where have you been, always disappear."
Hey, in 1 year, sometime you do pop into our house. And sometime during these visit, we do meet each other. Every annual CNY, most of the time we do meet each other. So total in 1 year, although we seldom meet each other, but we may have meet more than once. So what are you talking about? Or do you expect me to keep visiting you? But we are not that close, so I doubt so.

I bet you are going to ask and say those Code 3 again when you see me the next time.

The Clown Of England

McClown.

McClown had made a clown out of England, again. And he intend to do it again, with no shame at all.

Having giving England the last chance to qualify for the European Cup, a draw is sufficient to earn the spot. He spilled the ball. Well, England lost 3-2 to Croatia. England failed to qualify. The country pride and honour had lost. And the clown still had the cheek to say "I am not stepping down"!!!

Hey, who do you think you are? What have you done to England? Nothing, but shame.

Do you mean England should give you another chance? Do you know what is the next Cup? It is the World Cup, by the way.

Croatia had nothing to play for as they had already qualify for the European Cup. But they still play to win. And they did with style. McClown just put up a team and wishes his team could win or draw?? Just putting up a 4-1-4-1 formation and tell your player to perform is easy. The Croatia manager had already stated earlier that England would play in this formation, and he is right. Well, there are tons of people who can write down a 4-4-2, 4-4-1-1, 4-1-3-2 formations. I can do that, so could I qualify to be the England manager as well? Again, McClown had shown he had no strategy sense. He can't put up a master plan to win the game. Look at the game, where is his strategy? Many people could also just come out with a eleven players formation. This is not a Division Two league. And once again, I had confirm my theory that he is not fit for England.

Ask any man on the street. Ask any football professionals. Ask his own players. Do they think McClown is the fit for England manager? I guess their answer is NO. Even his players would not comment that he is FIT and should CARRY ON as England manager. The player had stand by his manager all this while because they are a team and should stand by each other, but I had not heard that they comment he is the best candidate before. Players who had played under Jose Mourinho, Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Rafael Benitez would know where does McClown stand.

From day one, many had already question McClown on holding the pride of England. Simply because we know he had limited tactics. And he had prove it again.

McClown had qualify England in the record book. McClown had made an infamous record. McClown had lead England to disqualify from the European Cup.

McClown had put England to shame.

Liveline For England

Israel 2-1 win over Russain, had thrown a lifeline to England.

Comes Wednesday. The last chance for England to pull through and qualify for the European Cup.
Well, lucky for McClown, for the time been. Let's hope England could overcome Croatia. I suppose the players would play with more spirits, their last chance.

And I suppose if England win, McClown would say "I had never doubt the capabilities of this team. I knewn we would qualify". Bullshit Steve, I suppose you must must sweating cold for the past few weeks! And you just use your luck in this campaign. You know it.

If England lost, McClown would say "Today is a hard game. We play without our top players". (Owen, Rooney, Terry, Ferdinand are injured). Come'on Steve, the European qualifying is not base on this match only. You lost dropped the points. A great manager would put up a great masterplan.

Well, if England could qualify, maybe the FA should consider a new manager.

Steve McClown

Steve McClaren the Steve McClown.

I can't help but to call McClaren the McClown, anymore!!
Well, I had been trying to refrain myself for calling McClown, coz it is not nice to call people names. But the more I look at his photo or his name been mentioned on newspapers, I could just feel my blood boil. After so many games, he still do not admit that he is letting the country down.

I am the supporter of England national soccer team. But I can't help but to boo-boo the current manager. Why? From the very first day, I had oppose Steve from being the England manager. Who is he to take charge of England? He is only the No.2 to Alex and Sven. What had he done to Middlesbrough? Nothing exciting. Where are they in the Premier League?

Look at the way he manage England. What strategies did he have? Well, I believe he has one - push the ball to the players. He just wish his millionare players could perform and get away lucky! Really, did you see any on field tactics that he had applied? He had no solid Plan B, don't talk about Plan C. His team selection are disastrous.

Well, now he may get lucky that the England FA are looking at "why England has gone wrong". They think it is becourse of the foreign players in the league. My goddness. So you think the curent crop of English players can't perform and win better than this pathetic Eurpean Cup results? You mean Ronney, Own, Lampard, Gerrad, Cole, Terry and company can't produce a much solid performance? Well, Steve may be lucky this time round that attention and blame have been shifted (poor Wenger, whose exciting team may get affected if FA decided to set a limit of foreign players).

Foreign players may or may not affect the level of English players (I may blog about this next time.. heee..). But. Face it. You have the current players. Lots of them are world class. And you can't put them together and achieve results?! Yeah, eleven world class player may not perform together. But still, here we are, and we don't deserve a much better results? Come'on Steve. you shouldn't lead England. We are now talking about England national team, not a Division 1 team. We are talking about a country's pride and honour. Frankly, even in Premier League, I don't think he could lead a team to top spot at consistant level.

Perhaps, England FA should take a look at another problem. Manager. Where are the English managers?? Who are managing the top-flight team in the Premier League? Gosh. Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea. All managed by foreign manager. Well, perhaps, should we impose a limit on foreign manager for our English clubs? Haa.. A soccer team is not only won by eleven soccer player. You need a great manager to be a great team. Jose Mourinho led FC Porto to Champion League Cup. Guus Hiddink guided South Korean to last four in World Cup! Most of these players are relatively unknown, before they achieved the results!

Come'on. Stop pointing the blames at the players. England FA should seriously decide how to breed their very own English manager. If not, we would end up with another clown.

If England do not make it to European Cup, I do not know that should I feel sad (how can my favorite team get booted out?!) or happy (that Steve had finally gone!).

Steve, you had make history.
But an infamous history that broken many hearts.

Champion League Biggest Score

8-0.
Liverpool recorded the biggest score 8-0 over Besiktas in the Champion League!
Woww! It is even more fantastic as I had witnessed the moments of every goal.

Well, Yossi Benayoun had grabbed a hat-trick, a brace from Peter Crouch and Ryan Babel, and a goal from the Captain Steven Gerrard had make the historical 8-0. I kinda like Babel's first goal, a naughty back-flick that came off his boot. Well, of course, I would like to give great credit to Andriy Voronin. Although he did not grab any goals, but his work rate was super high power! In fact, a handful of goals, came from his assist.

March on, Reds!

Madonna

During a conversation, someone mention that Madonna was a not a good singer. Oh, I couldn't believe with I had heard. She mention 1 of Madonna's last album is 'not nice' and she can't sing well. Oh, oh, oh. And she mention one of her track, ala-ABBA tune is not good enough.

Well, I wonder do she really know about MADONNA? Perhaps, she is still young. Perhaps, she had not really listen and think about it on her last albums. Perhaps, she had not heard of her previous albums. Perhaps, she had not listen to her multi hit singles before. I ask her 'have you listen to Madonna's This Used To Be My Playground or Take A Bow?' She say 'No'. Apart from her latest album, she seem to be unable to name Madonna's other music. Well, I suppose I know how much she know about Madonna's music then.

Her latest album, Confessions On A Dancefloor, is one of her best dance album. She manage to input 80's disco with Year 2005 dance tune into this album. Look at her Hang-Up mtv. So 80's feel with so much style. Listen to her Jump. This album carry with so much PUNCH!

On her singles, listen to her:
Don't Tell Me - her cowboy style MTV, look at how she and her dancers move
Music - the groovy tune with a glamourous and colourful mtv
Hey You - an encouraging lyrics with a save the earth theme mtv
Don't Cry For Me Argentina - a touching song
Like A Prayer, La Isla Bonita, Vogue - a few examples of her 80's classic

She had much more hit singles. Too many to mention.

How many artistes dare to change as much as she did? How many artistes able to carry off with so much style than she did?

Madonna sing so with much feeling in her music. Hippie, happy, sad, pain. She carry off with greatness. She is able to convey her music with so much emotion. Madonna is able to produce music with style and still strike a commercial appeal. Winning recongnition from music critics.

Madonna is crowned the Queen of Pop for no reason.

Diana Krall - Besame Mucho

Diana Krall is a great jazz singer. But everytime when I listen to her song, I feel like sleeping. Well, I do not feel the impulse to buy her CD. Maybe I do not appreciate her music enough.

One day, I heard a song. A lady singing Besmae Mucho. She sing it with so much 'feeling' with it. So romantic feel. A little flirty, as well. Oh, a little sweet-bitter song too. A husky-musky voice. I thought this song is sang by a 60s-70s songstress. When I found out who is the artiste behind this beautiful classic, I was surprised! She is Diana Krall. Wowww. Diana had win me over straight away.

She sing it with so much tranquil that you would be captivated by her.

Pulau Perhentian - Redang

Just came back from a trip, 21th-24th, to Pulau Perhentian and Redang.

We stay at Pulau Perhentian. Our lodging is like a kampong style. Well, the accomodation, surrounding and our food (prepared by the islanders, we just eat what they cook for us) is quite interesting, if you keep an open mind to it. Go with a fun-seeking heart. Go without any burden (work, etc). Go with a peaceful mind. You would be like cut off from the bustling livestyle. Your cellphone doesn't have good reception. It is not easy to find any internet connection. Even if you bring tons of money, you couldn't spend much, as there arn't any place for you to splurge (unless you wana order great meals or rent the diving equipment). At night, there isn't much activity for fun. No nightspot. No shopping. No fancy restaurant.

In the day time, we go speed-boat ride to different sea creature's activities. Most of us kinda enjoy the wind-gushing journey, with the occasional bumping ride. It is really fun! Our guide bring us to see clown fish (Nemo) and other types of fish, turtle, sting ray, shark, coral. Upon reaching the water spot, our guides would call up "Jump, Jump, Jump", and we would snorkel around the area. Well, this is my (and my dear) first snorkelling experince! Just float on the water, submerge your head into the clear water, and you would see plenty of sea activites! Well, it is like entering into another area.

We also went to an island, where there is a natural water source! The natural water is icy cold. We drink and splash the water around. It is fun. After so many decades, no one know where is the exact location of the water source.

At Pulau Redeng, we also visit the More More Tea Inn (Summer Holiday - Hong Kong movie). Redang had more visitors and better lodging. But I suppose you need to spend more for it as well.

It is enjoyable and amusing trip!

Awesome Goals!!!

Just watch from, YouTube, a series of absolutely awesome GOALS by some brilliant soccer players!

Look at the fast-pace, accurate and clinical shooting of Kaka. The famous right-foot of Beckham with breathtaking passes and freekicks. The thrusting runs and dribbling, nimble feet with tricks, and the deadly goals by Ronaldo. The classic and cool goals by Berkamp. And the master of balls - Zidane, whose exquisite touch and vision is totally magnificent. Look at the way he dance with the ball, caress it, flick it. Always remain so cool with it.

Ladies and Gentlmen, welcome to the most beautiful game in this planet.

Liverpool 2-0 Away Win

Liverpool produce a 2-0 away win at Sunderland, The Stadium of Light. A first half strike by Mali Sisssoko, his first goal for the club, and a second half goal by Ukrainian Voronin seal up the victory.

It is great to see the Reds produce a furious attacking away game. They control well and raid the home team. Another positive play by the new boys - Torres, Babel and Voronin. All of them put up a powerful attacking and team play. The counter attacks by the Reds are fast and furious, which led them to their second goal. A good link-up between Babel who pass to Torres and lay it off for Voronin to pull back the ball and strike a low shot!

Keep it up boys!

An Opening Win, 2007/2008

Liverpool FC start the league game with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

Great to see new boys Fernando Torres and Ryan Babel in action. Although Torres misses a few chances, he had shown some promising touches, movements and threats. Oh, and he had a pair of fast feet too! Babel is another flying man. Well, lets hope the young Spainard and the Dutch boy could clinch as much silverwares as they can for the Reds!

Btw, Gerrard's right-foot freekick is a wonder goal. A furious dipping goal that curl into the top corner!
Oh boys!

Do You Support Local?

Lots of local act couldn't gain support from the local. Well, are they really not good enough? Or are we simply basis?

What does their own industry's local people think of them? If their own people do not even have the faith, what do you expect from the public? Some will say that the local market do not have enough financial support. Well, if airing a local's new song once a day would hurt the station's financial badly. Or writing an article to promote the artiste every now and then would hurt the publishing's profit badly. If your own your people can't support and market for you, how do you expect the public to know you better?

I believe Olivia is good enough to built a fan base in this country. But do we get enough of her publicity? We prefer to promote Jay Chou, Andy Lau, Coldplay, Black Eye Peas for greater revenue. It make business sense. Then you can't blame the public for not knowing Olivia or Corraine May well enough. If they do not know them, how do they support them?

Well, maybe it is another Chicken Or Egg Come 1st.

When Will I See You Again?

When will I c u againz.. ?
When will we share our precious momentz againz.. ?
When will our heartz beat together againz.. ?

Real Madrid - The Champion Of La Liga 06-07

Real Madrid was crown the CHAMPION of La Liga 06-07, after trailing 0-1 with a 3-1 win!

It is the last game for David Beckham and Roberto Carlos. The first season for Fabio Cannavaro, Emerson, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Jose Antonio Reyes. The latter become the hero after scoring the two late winning goals! His 2nd second goal is a sizzling touch. Beautiful.

Madrid push hard from the 1st minute. They kept on pressing till they had won. And they made it. The millionares celebrated like little boys. Sometimes it is so touching to see these big boys in celebrations. They hug each others. They cried. They jumps. They smile.

Pirates Attack !!!

He's A Pirate, the soundtrack of Pirates of the Carribean, is a up-lifting score. But hold it! It doesn't stop there! Try listening to DJ Tiesto's remix version! Goosh!! It is a super pump-up version. The trance thumping really get you body grooving and head banging. A great version.

It is definitely a clubber's latest favorite!!

Coldplay and Buena Vista Social Club had collaborate, the fabulous, Clocks. Woww! Who could resist the memerising piano melody? The jazzy beat of BVSC? I also like the original version very much. The piano melody and the drum beat. The voice of Chris.

These music could really transport you into another zone. Sometimes, I really envy these musician to be able to breathe music and make a living out of it.

The European Champion 2007 - AC Milan

AC Milan win 2 - 1 over Liverpool. They are the newly-crown Champion.

Once again, Liverpool had been punished for not taking their chances. For years, they had not found a ruthless striker, or player. They would probably need a calibre of Romario, Van Basten or, perhaps, Inzaghi to be a serious challenger of every silverware.

Well, there could only be 1 winner.

I suppose, this time round, Gattuso might be thinking, " To be a Champion after a long season, you would need not just attitude and fighting spirit, but talent and composure as well". But of course, sometimes, luck do play a part.

Winner Of European Cup 2007?

The European Cup Final 2005 was played between Liverpool and AC Milan. Liverpool was the champion then.
The European Cup Final 2007 will again be played between Liverpool and AC Milan, in few hours time. Who will be the winner this time? Well, no matter what, it is a great achievement for both teams to have 2 Finals in 3 years.

How I wish I could be at Athens now. It would definitely be an amazing feeling! Well, I had always wish to watch a Live soccer match of eg, Arsenal, Man Utd and, of course, Liverpool. I hope I could catch a very important match of Liverpool! That would be absolutely fantastic!

Hunger and determination could win a final. Gennaro Gattuso sum it up, "Liverpool taught me the value of psychology in footabll: When you get to a massive final at the end of a long season, it's not about talent any more - but about attitude and fighting spirit."

Anyway, later I gona enjoy the match through cable-tv. Let's hope all went well for LFC!!!
Goal, Goal, Goal!!!

He had won the FA Cup.
He had won the League Cup.
He had won the Charity Shield.
He had won all the Cups in England.

He is Jose Mourinho.

One Last Dance

Yesterday, I had watched the film One Last Dance by Max Makowski, starring Francis Ng, Ti Lung, Vivian Hsu, Harvey Keitel and a list of TCS actors (most of them had cameo roles).

I suppose Max have a fantastic story. But l I don't really understand the whole story.

I don't know why is there a need to include a 'yellow theme' in the film. Why is there a yellow carrier bag (initially, I thought the art director is brilliant to add the yellow carrier on the car's dashboard to make the shot great)? Why is there a yellow car? Dose all these related to the yellow suitcase? (Yellow is his favorite colour? hee.. ). Is this film been influence by Sin City? Oh, by the way, why is there a 'heart shape' appearing in some scenes? I don't understand the heart shape light on the traffic lights?

Does the yellow theme indicate another story? Does the heart shape point to another tale?

But Francis and Ti Lung put up great performances.

Ooh, this film is shot in Singapore. Hee..

Changing Society

Not too long ago, our island had welcome 'gay' to our society.

Not too long ago, our nation had approved casino, Integrated Resort, to be developed.

And now, our country had approved F1 to be raced in our city.

Wow. What a U-turn from 40 years ago. Back then, all these ideas were a strict NO. Now, we need creativity, tourism and buzz from a complete different approach.

Are we making a wrong decision back then? Or is it just the timing is not ripe then? If we had go ahead with those ideas, things would never the same. Whatever it is, we are here today.

Coconut Surprise!

Guess what?!!

Yesterday, someone had scrapped the coconut 'flesh' with a spoon from the coconut for me!!!

Thank you.. .. hee..

Are We Going Green?

Recently our government had started to go Green. Are our dear citizens ready?

Some of the leading supermarket had started to make small step. A very small step. Every 1st Wed of the month, there would be no FREE plastic bag. Every REQUESTED plastic bag would be charged. Lots of people are not receptive about the measure taken. Well, it is only a small step, yet people are complaining. They are not concern about the environment? Or are they used to taking free plastic bag for granted? Or they just want to complain?

Some of the complainers still have the cheek to 'blame' the government that it is the government that had, for so many years, 'installed' the habit of throwing rubbish with plastic bag!! Well, I believe if other country with 'No Plastic Bag' could throw their rubbish systematically, why can't we? C'mon, this 'habit' is not so difficult to kick off, right?

Stop giving lame excuses.

Well, I believe the locals need time to condition to the green idea. Maybe our friends need to be re-educated again. Maybe more envionmental-concern programmes need to be shown. Media, definetely, could play an important part. Maybe our household names people need to chip in. The newspapers, magazines, blah blah blah. As the saying goes, "Monkey see, Monkey do". Saving the earth could become a 'in-thing', so long the local started to think it is 'cool' to save the planet.

Sometimes I wonder, what will happen next when our earth have ended?

Happy Mika

Recently, Joe had intro Mika - Life in Cartoon Motion to me. It is a great album!

It sound like a happy rock music album. It sound rather different from the rest of the nowadays modern-rock. The tracks Grace Kelly and Lollipop are so cheerful thumping music! Love Today and Big Girl sounds like love-spiritful songs. At the same time, Mika sound a bit retro too!! The music sound somewhat simple, but somehow there is a joyful and sing-along magic.

Ooh! And the album had a fantastic cover that match the music perfectly!

What's The Value Of Your Gift?

Yesterday a lady walk into our shop holding 1 of our merchandise in her hand. After a while, she ask me what is the price of a particular item on the table. Well, the item that she enquired is the same as the 1 she is holding.

What does a gift means to you?

If you receive a LV wallet from Brad, would you be over the moon? But if you receive a $20 wallet from Tom, would you be looking at the rubbish bin?

What are you thinking of when you receive a gift? A LV wallet means Brad adore you? A monogram wallet means he got chic taste? Or he feel you deserve a LV?

Or did you ever consider why is Tom giving you a $20 wallet? Is he a miser? Or is it that he can only spare $20 out of his expenses? Or he feel that you may like this black colour multi-compartment wallet, a practical item? Or he feel you only deserve a $20 wallet?


Well, sometime it could really difficult to give a present for someone. Give your collegue a smaller gift, he may gossip you. Give him a bigger gift, you may also get gossip from someone else. Get him a discounted item, he may say you are cheap.

Sometime I wonder what is the VALUE of a gift. Is it the PRICE or the THOUGHT?

Road To Oscar

Oh Great!!!

A adaption film from Hong Kong had won an Oscar. Alan Mak and Andrew Lau's Internal Affair had won Martin Scorese, The Departed, an Oscar. I suppose the Hong Kong creators and team must be over the moon. Hong Kong had lots of great creators. Directors. Producers. Scritwriters. Actors. Stuntmen. Choroegraphers. etc etc... . And fantastic films.

Oh, I feel pity for Mr Dicaprio. He had 2 wonderful films in The Departed and Blood Diamonds, yet he did win the best actor award. His past film in Aviator also miss out on the award. Gosh. Well, when is his turn? Maybe ee had to wait for his award, just like Andy Lau who had finally capture his Best Actor Award after so many years.

Valentine's 2007

Happy Valentine's, My Princess :)

Black

I had just taken my shower. Now listening to the Black Album - Metallica.

Gosh. The album is full of drum, bass and guitar blasting away. Of course, their earlier albums were all more heavier. More heavy duty. More power punch. The black album is a bit more 'subtle' and mainstream. But I still love it. I suppose it is their 1st album that I had listen to. It feel rather sentimental to me.

Entersandman. A song that is full of energy. One of the crowd favorite. The music made me feel like there is a monster entering into a town in a quiet night. People run amok. Some heros wanna stop the monster.

The Unforgiven. A classic opening. A song that I feel like that a guy had done lots of wrong deeds. All the people can't forgive him. He is been left alone. He is been outcast. He is been left regreting for the rest of his life.

Nothing Else Matters. Another song with a brillant opening. It sound abit like detaching the surrounding. You only believe in what you believe in. You are determine to get what you want.

Wherever I May Roam. It is a song that it often made me feel like I am in a exotic desert, mystery place, barbaric city. A place where people on the street carry arabic-eqyptian sword and costume. Full of blooming and colourful flowers. Lots of tents. Lots of table silverware.

The Black Album is absolutely great.
Somtime I wonder how many fans are still listening to them.

Hello, How Are You and Goodbye.

I had a good friendship with C during our secondary days. We get along quite well. In our poly-NS days, we chance upon each other on the streets and make some small talks. During our working lives, we still bump into each other. But each time, we talk lesser and lesser. Recently, I bump into C on 2 occasions. The 1st occasion, we didnt really talk. We just say Hello, How Are You and Goodbye. On the 2nd occassion, I am just like a stranger to him. I try to talk to him, but he just brush off the talks. What had happen?

I had a 'normal' friendship with CY, who is also a friend of C and mine. CY and I are just 'friends' during those days. But during our working lives, we had bump into each other and we had laughter and chatted off well!!

Well, maybe C have reasons for holding himself back to me.

Sometime when people had step into the corporate world, they change. They talk about money. How much do you earn? What post are you holding? What house are you buying? What car are you driving?

Well, I had gone to a friend's wedding. And my old friends are talking around the bushes on these matters.
One even ask "Does your girlfriend stay in a condominium?"
And the guy reply "No. She stay in a terrace house. Haa. Surprise you. Haa".

Gosh. Is now the common trend on 'Is you girl rich'? I only know 'Is your boy rich?.

Of course it is common to ask what do you do. We are concern and curious about each other. But lots of people ask this to 'grade' you.

Well, maybe it is a welcome to the world.

Sometime, man needs to learn how to be humble. Steve J is a humble man. He claim he is not a irreplaceable guy in his organization. Woww. I hope he say it sincerely.

Hello 2007!!!

This is my 1st blog of 2007.

Yr 2006 had flew past.
I suppose Yr 2007 gona zoom zoom past as well.

Well, Yr 2006 had finally let one of my dreams come true. I had finally let my design been produce as a product. Of course some people may say the products did not earn me any money. But I suppose only a true designer could understand how I feel.

A composer would be glad to hear his song been sang at a concert.
A fashion desiger would be glad to see his clothes parading down the catwalk.
A car engineer would be glad to see his car racing round the Formula 1 circuit.
I am glad to see my art work on the shelf.

Of course, I am still far and away from other elite designers. But nevertheless, I am very happy with my debutant work pieces with Mr LV. I suppose that our 1st collaboration is quite a success. Our joint-efforts had pay off.

Well, for Yr 2007, my wishes are that I hope the government could promote and create awareness on global warming. I hope the government could strongly encourage the public to SAVE THE EARTH!! I hope the government could educate his citizens.

Secondly, I hope there are more well-manner customers. I hope the government not only encourage the service industry to buck up their service standard, but also to remain the public that it take 2 hands to clap louder. I hope the public could stop abusing the so-call CUSTOMER RIGHTS!!

Thirdly, I wish my Princess with good health. Good luck. Safety. And stay chirpy chirpyz chip chipz.

Love.

Beatles

Beatles.
Oh, the classic Beatles.

They are genius in music.
Arn't they?

So sad that they had break up.
Wonder if they had stay on, how many more classic songs would be heard.

Listening to Beatles now. Sometimes, I find their music rather simple. But catchy! Lots of time, I feel their music direct with lukewarm feeling. Lots of time, I feel like singing along! Sometimes, I feel quite sad listening to their tracks. Sometimes, I feel light hearted. Sometimes, I feel 70s.

It's Christmas Time

Christmas time.
So this is Christmas. And what have you done?

Christmas time.
Christmas is coming. Another year is ending soon.

Christmas time.
I hope we could all enjoy our Christmas.

Merry Merry Christmas.
And A Happy New Year.

Fantastic Chocolate Cake?

Lately I had eaten the Chocolate Cake from Bukit Timah. The so-called awfully wonderful chocolate cake in this island. Most of the orders are made under reservation list. The paper used to claim it to be one of the best in this tropical country. The chocolate cake had been baked years after years. Popular for years after years.

Of course I am very curious to taste this chocolate cake. I love chocolate. Irrestible.

Finally I got to taste it last weekend. Smell good. But after having the first bite, I wonder 'What's the hype about this chocolate cake?'. It is just a simple cake. It is not fantastic at all. It is just a simple and ordinary chocolate cake. I am not a food connoisseur. But I could taste what is a really great piece of chocolate cake.

Sometimes I wonder the standard of some food critic's review. This chocolate cake is a great example. I wonder how do this journalist grade this cake so highly? She may like to eat food. But she is not a savory food critic at all. She is just a food lover.

I would prefer to eat my Meiji Dark Chocolate, after all.

Haze Attack!! Take great care, Chirpy Birds!

Nowadays the haze is still very 'POWERFUL'.

They look misty. They look dreamy. They look romantic.
But beware! Looks can kill.

I ask our company PR chirpy bird should we send a memo to the shop chirpy birds to take good good care of their body, especially during the hazy period? I thought the memo may lighten up their chirpy mood. So that they will be DoubleChirpy. Well, at the same time, the company would also like to show concern for their chirpy health!!

This memo may sounds a bit weird to somebody, but we are xxxxxx! We work hard and we have funny fun.

Chirpy chirpy chirp chirp..

IRRITATING Mobile Phone User

This morning in the MRT, I heard someone playing some music from his mobile phone. Airing the music out from his handphone speaker! These type of IRRITATING behaviour had been occuring lately, AGAIN and AGAIN!!!

I wonder why would these inconsiderate user do this action? If you wana hear some nice music, you could always pluck in a earpiece and listen to it, enjoy in your own world. Unless you had lose your earpiece, or it had been damaged, or you left it at home, or you can't listen from earpiece from some health problem. Even if you really wana listen from the speaker, you could tune the volume lower. Why do you wana blare out the music?? Are you afraid no one know you like this song? Are you trying to hint everyone that you are cool (actually, you arn't)? Sometime I feel like pumping my TECHNO song from my handphone speaker against theirs! If I had a MP3 player and speaker in my Marimekko Ladybear Bag, I would pump out MY MUSIC against those irritating user. My super techno vs their pop song. My enchanting soprano vs their techno. My rock star vs their hip hop.

We don't need these type of people to tell us what are music. If we want good selection of music, we could go to HMV, Gramophone or THAT CD. The latter have excellent song selection airing from their superior BMB speaker, daily.

I am a great fan of theirs.

Striking Sensation

Liverpool had just won a 3-0 match against Spurs.

They display another control and attacking strategy. Up goes the tempo in the 2nd half. Gear up for a sudden fast and furious pace. They had attacks from the left and right flanks. Centre assaults. Low and high crosses.

Finally, a move by Captain Gerrard had Bellamy hitting the post from close range. But a follow-up by Gonzalez had earned the Chilean his 1st Anfield goal.

The 2nd goal is a stinger from Kuyt. A shot with power, accuracy and confidence. I believe there will be more similiar goals from the Dutch.

A counter-attack by the Reds result in another trademark shot by Riise. Another long, powerful and accurate shot.

Great team efforts. Great goals.

Alonso Goal !!

Few days ago, Liverpool had win 2-0 over the Toons. As usual, they had created numerous goal-scoring chances. But in this game, they managed to score. 2 goals. All connected to Xabi Alonso. The 1st goal was a diagonal defence splitting pass from Alonso which found Finnan laying on for Kuyt to score his 1st Anfield goal. The 2nd goal was a masterpiece. Alonso had lifted the ball from his own half. The ball shoot up high in the air and drop perfectly into the goal. No bouncing. Straight in.

:)

Steve Irwin The Crocodile Hunter

I had always enjoy watching Steve Irwin's programmes. I could see that he was extremely passionate and had great knowledge with animals. It was amazing to see him getting so close up with dangerous crocodiles, snakes, etc, at times.

But, we could not see him record another programme anymore. He had been an unfortunate victim of a stingray. It's spine had pierced his heart while filming an underwater documentary on Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

The world had lost a Great TV host. An amazing animal lover.

Report On Bad Reporters?

Recently, Straits Times had featured an article on some popular nightspot with bad services. It had highlighted their poor service standards. Last year, there were also articles on umpleasant services, on some high-end retailers. I supposed these reporters may had reasoned that it were their duties to report the truth to the public. To unearth the dirt, bring it to the light.

I wonder would these reporters report on bad reporters?
Or are there no bad reporters?

Great Jamie and David

Yesterday I had managed to watched the programmes by David Blaine and Jamie Oliver again.

David is a great magician! His tricks are awesome.

Oh Jamie. I love watching his cooking show. His fantastic food. The way he cook. His passion. Yummyzz!

National Day 2006

Elsewhere in the Middle East, Israel and Lebanon are engaging in battles. Fire had been raging for the past few weeks. More soldiers had been recalled. More tanks. More air planes. More rockets. More ammo. More, more and more heat to come. Every generations of Israel had experinced war. From father to son. Lets hope all will end as soon as possible.

Here we are in Singapore celebrating our 41st National Day in 2006. Today, early in the morning we could hear children from nearby schools singing our Singapore's nation-bonding songs.

Lets hope Singapore could continue our peaceful days.
Onwards Singapore.

My 1st Salad

Few days ago, I had make my first salad in my life. My first salad for my cinderella too. :) heez... ..

Secret Garden

Listening to Secret Garden now.

Listen. Close your eye. Breathe slowly. Concentrate on the music. The violin. The piano. You are walking in a scented garden now. Sunshine, blooming flowers, greenery. So Peaceful.

Their music are rather slow moving. Rather sad.
It captures sweetness. Bittersweetness.
Suddenly the world seems to be revolved in a slow motion.
Lots of different feeling in their mesmerise tune.

Amazing.

They have lots of music that could be used in as film soundtrack.
Story of the princess and prince been reunited after a tragedy war-outbroke.
Story of the lovely gal with illness laying on the white-linen bed with her beloved by her side.
Story of sisterhood with their troubled mens.
Story of sad ending. Happy ending.

Holding hands together. Embrace. A better tomorrow.

Happy National Day 2006

World Cup Champion 2006 - Italy

Italy is the Champion! The Champion of World Cup 2006!

They deserve the Cup. They have the passion. Spirit. Gut. They fight for each other. They are a balance team with depth in their subsitutes' bench. They have a shrewd manager.

The Italian have only 2 goals conceded throughout the tournament. An own goal. And a penalty. Their defence marshalled by Cannovaro is superby.

France's mastero Zidane had stolen a historical lime light - he head-butts Italy's Materazzi. Zidane go straight onto Materazzi's chest. Materazzi fallen onto the pitch. Zidane is shown the red card. Nevertheless, Zidane is still the player of the century. No doubt. The days of Juventus' Zidane is awesome. The way he caress the ball. His effortless dribbling. He dummy the opponent. He turn the opponent inside out. He orchestrate the attack. His ability to control the game. His coolness. His first touch. His passing. His vision. No one seems to be able to steal the ball away from his feet. Only a few could touch the ball.

Champion Italy.

Golden Boot Zidane.
Lord Zidane.

Bravo German, Gutsy Italian

The World Cup 2006 Semi-Final between Germany-Italy is a great match. Germany playing attacking with caution play. Italy playing superb defence with quick counter attacks. Both are trying to win the game with different strategies, not depending on luck entirely. Unlike some team just hoping they could win the match, without attempting to put pressure and win it. England will know. Argentina will know. Both could play swift assaults. Both could be semi-finalist. One could be champion. But they didn't. Germany has lost, but walk away with honour. Nobody will fault them. Italy has win, and nobody will say they win by luck. Lippe give a stroke of genius during the extra-time, by pumping in attackers! It become an open play. Calculated risks are been taken.

Germans are bravo. Italians are gutsy. Both are worthy winner. But there could only be 1 winner.

There could be only 1.

May the force be with YOU.

The Road To Guantanamo

This afternoon I had caught a film called The Road To Guantanamo. It were about 3 young Pakistani, been mistaken as the Figthers of the Al Qaeda, been held up by the US, eventually been led to Guantanamo as their final destination. There were actually 4 young men going to a wedding together. But 1 of them had gone MIA when they are moving off in a rush. No one know what had happened to him, even till today. The film also capture some humour during their stay at Guantanamo. This film offers some glimpse of the US affairs with the Al Qaeda, and of course Guantanamo.

A coming-soon film called The Lake House, starring Keanu and Sandra, is a romantic movie. It seems like a film drawing inspiration from a Korean film, Il Marie. Both films are about a guy and lady getting to know each other through a letterbox. They received letters from the opposite party. They were living years apart, yet they could received the letters on their real-time. And they are actually staying at the same location. Btw, Somewhere Only We Know is the soundtrack of The Lake House.


Recently I had watched some MTVs. I were watching some of the yesteryears rockers. Steelheart. Saigon Kick. STP. Queen. Warrant. Ugly Kid Joe. 4 Non Blonde. Blind Melon. etc, etc, etc... ... Rockers had always amused me when they played rock ballads. Their ballads were always amazing. They were often singing with so much passion and emotion in it, that would put many boybands and pop singers to shame. Lots of rockers do play piano and sometimes other classical instruments are also featured in the song too as many would think rock music are just about guitar, bass and drum.

Champion of World Cup 2006?

My friend had just ask me that who would I think would win the World Cup 2006? I have no answer. I couldn't even shortlist 2-3 teams that have the potential to capture the Cup. Frankly, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, England and Italy are the teams that could lift the prestigious Cup.

Germany had home advantage and recent promising attacking play. Argentina swift attacks and compact play with match-winners Crespo, Saviola, Riquelme, Messi, Tevez. Brazil's crafty and fearfsome Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Adriano, Kaka and Robinho. England's figthing spirit and the usual heros - Beckham, Gerrand, Rooney and Lampard. Italy's meanest defence and win at-all-cost attitude.

Who could be 100% sure to predict the winner? Only some of the most die-hard fans would insist their team to WIN. Sport Correspondents would jump to HEADLINE Team A to win it after a promising game. The next day, follow by SCREAMING out Team B to win it too after playing a beautful game as well. Many are bandwagon jumpers. But they are some who give insightful view and analysis. Rob Hughes top the list.

Welcome Bellamy To Anfield

Craig Bellamy has compeleted seal his transfer to Liverpool! It is a great news to Anfield and Bellamy. I have always admire the way Bellamy play with the ball. He is a pacy striker. He takes on defender. He has a winning metality.

Liverpool has added armour in their strikeforce now. I am excited to see Bellamy play alongside Fowler, Gerrand, Kewell, Garcia and company.

An early strong run in the league would put the Pools challenging for the tittle. Up against the usual contenders, The Gunners, The Red Devils and The Blues.

Good Luck Bellamy. Good Luck Liverpool.

DC Shoe

Today, I had brought a pair of DC Shoe at a 20% discount. But after walking out of the shop and went to a nearby shopping mall, 2 pair of Nike retro shoe caught my eyes! OOh! I had to control myself as not to spree again. But sad to say, I had to say goodbye to my POA Green Shoe. It has been worn out and the 'jaws' had split open.

Up to date, 2006 World Cup had been exciting! We have witness again the progress of competion in Japan, Korea and Africa teams. Though the gap between them and Europe could still be seen, nevertheless, they had narrowed the gap.

Japan and Korea played with pace, spirit and energy. Africa teams played with gut, power and skill. Europe teams played with tactical awareness, instinct, wit, experince and skill. Top South America teams, Argentina and Brazil played with flair, trickery and beautiful game.

Which team would you prefer to watch?

Web Counter

Hee.. I had just successfully installed the counter on my blog.

Beckham and Gerrard Again!

England 2 Trinidad & Tobago 0. David Beckham had nearly become the hero again! His famous pinpoint cross, a layoff from Lennon, had been thumped in by Crouch past Hislop. But I suppose, Gerrard would steal the headlines again! His typical screamer outside the penalty box had smashed in the second goal for England.

Beckham, Beckham. David Beckham the Pinpoint King.
Gerrard, Gerrad. Steven Gerrad the Smasher!!

England had progressed to the 2nd round of World Cup 2006, with a game to spare. I suppose Owen and Rooney will be paired for the Sweden fitness game. Walcott could be in action for some part of the game. And Lennon could be a starter.

World Cup 2006

World Cup gona start in an hour time!!! I am feeling very excited about the whole event now!! Hee...

Let's hope England could LIFT the most prestigious CUP in soccer!

Anyway, I am looking forward to watch Ronaldiho, Kaka, Ronaldo, Adriana and Robinho to play assaulting together.

Gona get myself ready for the opening match between the host Germany vs Costa Rica now!!!

Open Sky Or Jurong Bird Park

This few days I feel like a bird with a pair of growing and bursting wings in a small wooden cage. Over the next few days, I have to choose between flying in an open sky or Jurong Bird Park.

It would be challenging to fly in a colourful and dangerous journey in the open sky. It would give me a chance to fly and visit different country and their city. Planting my feathers in their soil. Nevertheless, I could be a victim to the preys.

Jurong Bird Park would be a safe place to live in. There would be food and shelther for me. I could also entertain audience with my little trick in picking up the cards or riding a bicycle. Jurong Bird Park could also market and brand itself famously. I may also have the chance to participate in a world entourage.

If you were birdie, would you choose living in an open sky or Jurong Bird Park?

Introducing Blogspot To PP

PP had just started her maiden blog. But it's not on blogspot. Well, so I intro Blogspot to her! Hee...

Blogging could be addictive. Bloggging could be a diary. Blogging could use to advertise. Blogging could earn money for some bloggers. Blogging could be a forum. Blogging could be a platform for exhibitionist.

Is blogging good for the society?

Recently, I had just watch Mission Impossible 3, MI3. Woww... It is full of action. Great power pack, just like their addictive soundtrack! Mr Cruise remain as charming as ever.

I am getting tired now... Hee.... Gona cut short on my blog.

Good night, and Good Luck.

Keeper Lift The Cup Again!!!

Liverpool had ended 05/06 season with the FA Cup. Although the playing style of the game was not exicting, the scoreline was thrilling! Liverpool had come back from behind to draw 3-3 and push it into extra-time and penalty shoot-out again, almost identical to thier European truimph in 04/05. Gerrand and the new Keeper, Reiina, had become the heroes! Gerrand had set up the 1st goal and score 2 spectacular goals again! Reiina had save 3 penalty! Woww!!!

Fantastic.

Wonderful Station

Recently I had been tuned on to Planet Zeb!. It is great station that play 80s-90s hits. It is a great treasure for fans who love rock music of the 80s to early 90s. Planet Zeb! also play retro music as well.

Liverpool is playing their FA Cup Final tomorrow!!! Hope that they could lift the Cup!!! I am glad that they had also signed Robbie for a 1yr contract. He is a natural finisher, who is the best at the club at the moment.

Fairy Tale

Recently I had grown to love a mandrain song Tong Hua(Fairy Tale) by Guang Liang, a boyish looking singer. It is a simple yet touching love song. I had heard that the MTV is really wonderful that it may touch you to tears. I would really love to see it.

Many people have different loves in their life. Relationship, family, friendship. Music, fashion, arts. History, animal, books. Money, health, peace.

I love beautiful things. Beautiful music. Beautiful film. Beautiful soul. Beautiful sweetie of mine. Beautiful design. Classic European. Classic Chinese. Retro. Modern. Anything beautiful. Although I do not have an in-depth knowledge of them, I am just over-the-moon when I chance upon them. I had designed some graphic illustration. It is a kind of design that I just love to design.

I hope one day, I could produce my workpiece. Although there are not out-of-this-world design, I still love them. It would be my dream come true if they could be put together into a shop. I can't imagine how would I had felt then. It is like a fairy tale dream come true for a artist to photographer to hold their own gallery. A fashion designer to hold a catwalk parade in NY-Milan. A Grammy for a singer. An Oscar for an actor. But all these are not really nessecssary. It is just a recongnition. A true artist will be just as happy, when he had completed his satisfied workpiece. It may just be a fairy tale for the artist.

Is life a fairy tale?

1st In 2006

This is my 1st blog in 2006. My 1st blog from a laptop. My 1st blog from a wireless source. My 1st blog in Macdonald.

There will always be a 1st time in everything. There will always be a 1st position in everything.

This afternoon a well-mannered lady went into my shop. Her name is Debbie. She's looking for a gift for her 14yrs old daughter. It will be the last time Debbie seeing her. It gona be a long while, before they could meet up again. She had seperated from her husband.

Later, Debbie say that she likes the music in our shop. The sentimental music been played are from 70's-80's. The 1st track, It Might Be You, reminds her of her pre-U days. Her boyfriend use to sang this song to her. How sweet it is... .. I wonder is that boyfriend the same person whom raise her 14yrs old daughter. I dare not ask.
