Falling Slowly, Ukulele cover

My 2nd song on ukulele. It's an OST from the movie, "Once". I watched it after hearing the song, and totally love it. The song isn't perfect as I recorded on the same day that I learn the song. Well, you know, lazy me.  

When in Rome?

I always love to visit Rome if I ever earn enough for a return flight and a one week stay. And perhaps, just like this movie, meet a cute guy and fall in love!



If I were Beth, I will definitely choose Josh Duhamel! And the reasons are so damn clear to everyone! Firstly, he's cute and handsome. That says a lot! Secondly, all of those who saw Beth plucking the magic coins in the fountain looks incredibly insane! I mean they freak Beth out more than creating chemistry! And lastly, the fact that Josh isn't poisoned by the magic of the "love fountain", that he's truly in love with Beth!

But well it's all about the fantasy love in a romance movie, and it's all different when it comes to reality. In reality, there isn't such thing called a magical fountain. And if there really is one somewhere out there, I believe there will be a huge chaos!

Unlike the movie, a real partner for life will be someone who truly understand each other, who could communicate well instead of using alienate languages, and not forgetting the similar interest/goal part so there will be something enjoyable to strive together! There's another two important points for myself, which is there shouldn't be any awkward silence and we should be able accept the flaws of our partner. Awkward silences are really... awkward... I had it once when I was much younger, and I could still remember how I didn't realized my hand is shaking as I hold on to the guy's arm. The silence is so over-whelming, and it should the the kind of comfortable silence, in which both of us didn't mind and in fact are enjoying it. As for the second point, it's just simply that nobody is perfect! Everyone must have some flaws, and if we can't accept that of our partner, then life will be hard!

So anyway, back to the movie. I won't mind watching it for the laughter and the fact that it's in Rome!

So, catch "When In Rome" Movie starting from 25th March 2010 and join the official Facebook and Twitter page!

The Confession of a BROKE 'shopaholic'

The Cathay, originally uploaded by lomomilo.

You're broke 'cos of the obvious reason, and together with your best friend, the two of you walked into the deadly trap set up by mall owners all over Orchard Road. You suddenly feel an adrenaline rush, but deep in your heart you hear a voice saying, "NO! YOU CAN'T SHOP ANYMORE! IF YOU DO, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GO ON A HOLIDAY!"

 Thousands of 'excuses' start pouring in your mind, telling you how much you "WANT" the stuffs, and not "NEED" the stuffs. Like, "Ohhh, how nice it will look on my desk~ when I'm stressed I can just play with it or looking at it makes me feel all happy!" But the fact is, after a few months your attention will be directed to something new again, and the routine goes on and on.

Just... living my life

There's nothing much to blog about recently. Just living the normal life, meet up with two small "group" of friends, had marche twice, watched a movie "The Imaginarium of Doctor Panarssus" and feeling all disappointed after, had a pedicure which cost me a bomb just for the new year that I won't be celebrating, and followed my mom out to buy just her new clothes. 

Why I say "group" is because, they are not really a group. Haha, just one or two peeps from different part of my "friends' list". Anyway, it's nice as finally I have the time to meet up so it's all simple but good.

Anyway, am reading my new book even though my Roald Dahl's isn't done reading. "If you could see me now" by Cecelia Ahern, the author of "PS, I love you". I really like the movie "PS, I love you", so without second thought I bought the book written by the same writer. I mean, how bad can it be if I liked her previous work? I'm only starting to read, and I think it's pretty good. I won't saying what is it about, so just go to the book store and check it out!

And while reading, some of you might be thinking, "Awww, how boring is your life..." But I really must say that I feel much happier right now. I had a chat with a friend about it, and I guess not many others will understand what I exactly meant. I might be earning lesser, 'cos I'm working much lesser too, but I'm happy to have time for me. You know, everyone needs time for themselves! And also time for family, and friends, and perhaps holiday. Just trying to cherish what I currently have, instead of asking for more and not being happy about not having more. It's kind of random so never mind, just wanna say I'm happier now. :D

The secret is revealed... that men are cruel

I'm not trying to advertise this documentary. It's just after watching this, it left a great impact on me.

Have you ever wonder where did those dolphins at sentosa came from? And how did they got captured and got sent over to Singapore or any other countries with water world like ours? This film just hits me in the head that people are just jailing dolphins for our very own pleasure. You feel happy seeing them perform and doing tricks, but are those dolphins happy? Try imagining yourself as one of those dolphin who swam in the big ocean with friends and family, and one day you got caught and jailed in those lil pool and forced to learn tricks and perform like a clown. How do you feel?

This film opened up my eyes as it showed me the start of all this, right at Taiji, Japan. The place where thousands of dolphins got slaughtered after the "selection". The better dolphins are sold all over the world to be clowns, and what happened to those that are not chosen? They got slaughtered, and sold as meat. Dolphin meat! Try googling how much mercury dolphin meat contain and what kind of illness it will bring you. Why can't people just leave those poor dolphins alone?

Watch this documentary and you guys will know exactly how I'm feeling right now. And please support the cause too. Take part and help those dolphins!
