Saturday, August 25th, 2007
After watching Jay’s movie “Secret”, I can only say that he is a musical genius and a talented guy. The movie has an amazing twist. It’s been a while a love-theme movie managed to move me to shed a few tears. The music scores worked their wonders. Jay’s acting has improved since his last movies.
These are my favourite scores. Enjoy !

Nice song by Ella written for her dog Qiang Qiang which passed away 2 months ago. Very touching…. Ella is a kind-hearted and talented girl with a big heart.

Sammi is back !
This is taken from the last of 8 concerts held in Hong Kong in May 2007, marking her return to the world of entertainment.
Besides her brilliant performance, and good rapport with fans and guest performers, one segment which really touched me is her reading out a letter she wrote to herself at the closing of the 8-day concerts.
***********************************************
I like the last sentence most.
This homework – I think you have done it.
I am certain that you have returned.
More importantly, your courage has returned.
At every stage of our lives, everyone needs courage.
To face ourselves, to face the future.
Today’s concert, these eight concerts,
I have proven to myself that I have done it.
I have won over my other self.
***********************************************
Indeed, everyone needs courage at some point in our lives for different reasons. To come back from temporary defeat, to find new strength to go on the journey of our choice, to push ahead even though we see nothing but fog over yonder, guided only by faith and belief in our vision.
Having courage is one thing, doing the necessary homework is important too. In fact doing the homework builds courage. Sometimes, in the pursuit of our dreams, we give up too easily without even doing enough homework. So at the end of the day, we let down no one but ourselves.
Sammi gave an interview with Phoenix TV recently.
I find that she has found that sense of calm that can only come from finding what she was looking for when she left the scene 2 years ago. She exudes beauty arising from maturity in character and person as a whole.
I’m glad she’s back. By being an outward manifestation of someone who has found new meaning and courage, she will be an inspiration to her fans … and me

Patch Adams
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 :)
