A Great Movie...

I recently watched a great movie with an unmistakeable title, "Slumdog Millionaire". With such a title, I wonder how it became a blockbuster success in the first place and with critics talking about it right-after. Furthermore, with those almost unknown names of the leads, to be a great success, it has to have a great story to tell. And the story was so original and inspiring that an Oscar is not even enough to award such feat. Then only I realised that Slumdog is one of those movies where you'll remember for the rest of your life, even if you've watched it only once.

I do urge people to watch this great movie as it entails many lessons in life which we take granted for. It reminds me that, not only big-budgeted movie can be a success, but the most fundamental quality is still the direction and originality of the story.

I love this story very much and it's unlike most of our current movies in cinemas today, where you'll walk off feeling unsatisfied or felt it could be better.

Home, is not necessary where you came from but a space where you'll feel you're most at ease with being yourself.

Waking Up to a New York Morning




The sound of siren, ever so audible no matter how high you are at any hotel floor, is my usual wake-up call here. Then followed by the TV programmes that are all so entertaining, even the news. Gradually, to fully wake up, is to sip on the free coffee by the hotel's coffee machine. I am not really a fan of this kind of coffee but perhaps, just to have a taste of a New York morning...

I finished my retail therapy rather quickly this morning and afternoon, to be interrupted only by a really surprising appearance of my once, idolised Spice Girls. Not all five of them was there but one, who is special enough to made my encounter with her, so relevant till today. Yes, it was Victoria. She was at Macy's to launch the underwear line by Armani. Then, a visit to the New York Public Library, seems to be a must nowadays. It made my day perfect!
