Like the Swallow (如燕) by Olivia Ong, from The Little Nyonya (小娘惹) Drama

Friday, December 26th, 2008

This is the consequence of not having a television! I heard everyone talking about it, I heard its theme song on radio stations, I read all the trivias of this drama and interviews with those artists who star in this drama, BUT I never get to watch it!

Can Mediacorp release its DVD version asap? Thanks!

You know everyday I get those complaints about how evil Lim Mei Jiao is in Little Nyonya, how pitiful Jeanette Aw is and how delicious the nyonya delicacies are. Hey you know? I am quite familiar with Malacca as well, why don’t you guys join me for a tour in Malacca? I’ll name it as “The Little Nyonya” tour…sounds great huh?

Yes933 is always playing and hard-selling its theme song: 如燕 (Like the Swallow), pronounced as “Ru Yan”. Olivia Ong surprised me by her accurate Chinese pronunciation. She has a soft and gentle voice, maybe angelic is the best word to describe that feeling. Well, she looks pretty as well.

She is definitely the dream girl of many guys out there! Guys would like to keep her beside them and command “Sing to me! My angel!” whole day long!

I’ve prepared a piano sheet for this Little Nyonya theme song as well, and I think there is no better time than now to post it before the drama finishes.

Some information about this piano sheet:

1) It’s in original key, Bb Major

2) Lyrics and chords are included

3) See some ornaments in the piano sheet? It’s the imitation of Malay accordion and guitar in this song.

4) No repeats. Therefore this piano sheet is 9 pages long. You don’t have to jump from this bar to another bar and find where the signs are.

Christmas Tree in Taormina, Sicily

This outstanding christmas tree was standing alone in the middle of a piazza, surrounded by nice view but a gloomy weather. The floor was wet, if you’d noticed it.

I’m not really in the mood of celebration this year, even walking around crowded shopping malls seems so meaningless. My aunt just passed away, economic is not good, job security is damn low, even traveling to Malaysia is a disaster now as I predict I will be sandwiched between people. Nothing seems to be promising now, what a Christmas!

This photo was taken in Taormina, Sicily Island of Italy 4 years ago, by the way.

Life still goes on, and the good news is, I’m already working on a new piano sheet which I suppose, will be your favourite. This coming piano sheet will be ready in approximately 3 days’ time.

Remember, be the first to grab it and I’m sure that it won’t disappoint you!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

In loving memory of Eva Chai

I don’t know what to say. I’m like a zombie for the whole day. Her face kept appearing in my mind. The mischievous smile, the cynical look…she was always cheerful and naughty.

I would not want to believe that I can’t see her again…

Rule the World by Take That, from Stardust

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Stardust is just awesome! This is a movie that I can’t really explain its plot in just few words. This is the best magical thriller I’ve seen in these 2 years and Narnia stands no where in between.

It’s romance fits in our culture as well, and I can officially categorize it as a romantic magical thriller.

I would not elaborate on the story because it is meant for audience to find out themselves. All I can reveal is: This movie is about a star and a chaotic chase for it!

Take That is also involved in this movie as well. Their first contribution to a movie is actually this song called “Rule the World“, which only plays at the end of the movie.
