When music really soothes you

There is a saying Music soothes the savage beast and this cannot be more true. Everytime, i need something to boost me up, bring into a reflective mood or just keep me sane. Music has always been my friends. Some songs are so powerful that you can play it the whole day and it just have this effect on you.

During my trip to Singapore, I recently found a wonderful CD called Aiza Seguerra. Her voice is absolutely divine, her CD was one that just pop up. I was shopping in City Hall and overheard one of the shops playing the CD. And that was it. I bought all her CD and its the best investment so far during our trip.

If you like nice cover songs, I absolutely recommend this to all my friends.

Seafood in Bangkok

My father-in-law took us to a coastal seafood restaurant to have a seafood meal. we ordered

Tom Yum Prawns, Fish, Baked Prawns, Crab fried rice, Crab Som Tum, Shell fish with fried Chilli, Fish cake, beer and desert

And guess what it cost less than $100.... to say it is cheap is an understatement. The food was nice, there was a lot of lady boys there though which were serving us. Maybe its the rural area but, i do not understand why boys wants to be girl.

Overall you know food is not too bad. A lot of locals and celeb in thailand goes there to eat. Hopefully if anyone is going to thailand, i can pass you the address.

We also met some of Hope friends.... and both were from different "camps" if you get my drift. Well at least we could set the difference aside and enjoy a nice meal ... will post the food here too... next round.

Bought heaps of DVDs chinese ones... which is good... keeps me occupied for now.

Quick DVD updates

Been watching a number of new releases lately. Here are my recommendation

A couple of movies were a surprise hit with me

1. Wedding Daze - Good comedy.
2. Confession of a shopaholic - Not too bad, I think it was done in Chinese before by Sammi Cheng. This is the English version

Watchmen - This movie is abit like Sin City style kind of movie, so if you dont like Sin city then this movie is not for you. But I do like the theme of the movie though. Its always fascinating wondering about the moral theme of Necessary Evil. I learned that in University, but to see it in practice ... it would be interesting.

" Kill a million to save a billion "

One country that did this really well is Singapore. Our ex prime minister Lee was ruthless in dealing with the communist party and those who set to destablise Singapore. But in the same time he makes sure the people in Singapore are well taken care of. If singapore had gone down the British path, I do not think Singapore will be where we are. Maybe we will be like Fiji, havng to fight coup after coup.

I recently read with great amusement of the British law, they are so into human rights that they would give welfare to Islamic militant who preach hate message on the country that feed them. Its like biting the hands that feeds you. I do think Britian has to make do with Human rights ideology and take a leaf out of Prime Minister Lee. Maybe if they watch the movie Watchmen, they will understand that sometimes Human rights is universally applicable.

I think.. that is what makes Watchmen such an interesting show to watch. I am fascinate by the theme the movie was a little dark i must add. But a very ineresting theme.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

First time i saw the movie, i cannot catch heads or tail. It was long and no big fight scenes, spend 2 hours plus and all i saw was the death of Dumbledore. I think it came with a lot of hype but many of us were really let down in the movie.

I do think though the only way to see this movie is like a sort of prequel to the final episode. Its abit like Lord of the ring. The good stuff only happens right at the end. So unless you have read Deathly hallows, alot of the movie scenes only makes sense in the last episode.

So do yourself a favour by reading Deathly hallows so you can understand the movie a little better.
