Sunday, July 1st, 2007“All of life is a coming home. Salesmen, secretaries, coal miners, beekeepers, sword swallowers, all of us. All the restless hearts of the world, all trying to find a way home. It’s hard to describe what I felt like then. Picture yourself walking for days in the driving snow; you don’t even know you’re walking in circles. The heaviness of your legs in the drifts, your shouts disappearing into the wind. How small you can feel, and how far away home can be.
Home. The dictionary defines it as both a place of origin and a goal or destination. And the storm? The storm was all in my mind. Or as the poet Dante put it: In the middle of the journey of my life, I found myself in a dark wood, for I had lost the right path. Eventually I would find the right path, but in the most unlikely place.”
Patch Adams is the first movie I watched which moved me.
The paragraphs which you’ve just read are the opening lines of the movie. And the music so fits the contemplative mood of the storyline. There are 18 tracks in the soundtrack - this is the one that always reminds me of Patch Adams whenever I hear it.
I’m inspired by the story of Patch Adams. I’m also amazed by the power of movies and the impact a well-shot movie can have on the audience. Since then, I’ve been hooked on movies and become a hardcore movie buff :)

S.H.E MTV - Wu Yue Tian
Monday, June 4th, 2007
This is another favourite song of mine in S.H.E’s latest album. Ella’s rap is done pretty well. Listen to the background chorus of Hebe and Selina during Ella’s rap - the combination of the three voices is perfect…

S.H.E MTV - Listening to Yuen Wei Ren play guitar
Saturday, May 19th, 2007
This is the music video of S.H.E from their latest album. The song is one of my favourites. The title is called “Listening to Yuan Wei Ren play guitar”. Yuan Wei Ren is a chinese pop music song producer and composer. S.H.E is a very popular Taiwanese girl band and worked with Yuan on several occasions.
This song is written by an ex-neighbour of Yuan who was so inspired by Yuen’s music making next door, that he decided to follow in Yuan’s footsteps. The career path of a song writer is tough, but he looks to Yuan for motivation. This is the storyline of the video.
The skinny guy is the ex-neighbour, the plump guy is Yuan himself. Near the end of the video, there is even the plump version of the three girls :)
Enjoy the music video which is pretty funny. Just looking at the girls, I feel proud myself - our chinese girls look so fine ! The music is great !
