Speechless Performance by Sarah Chang...



I just watched this movie called The Red Violin.. and did a youtube search on violin players... i came across Sarah Chang... and her performance is just too damn good... her playing in this particular video is just dramatic.. i guess most violinist are.. anyway , here's some details about her.. and the video that mesmerized me.. ahaha.. ( by the way , The Red Violin movie is a must watch movie.. whether you're into music or not , it's a must watch..)

Sarah Chang (born December 10, 1980) is a Korean-American violin virtuoso.

Chang was recognized as a child prodigy early on and when she was 8, was given the opportunity to audition with such names as Zubin Mehta and Riccardo Muti, who were working, respectively, with the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Both gave her immediate engagements.

At 9, she was possibly the youngest violinist ever to record. Her first album, aptly entitled Debut, was recorded in 1989 when she was nine years old, but was not released by EMI Classics until 1992. It quickly reached the Billboard chart of classical best-sellers. Her teacher in an interview claimed that no one had ever seen "anything like her." more details here... via Wikipedia..



I'm not so sure on the title of the piece that she played.. but according to the youtube entry , it's by Pablo de Sarasate..

Movie - Cashback - very interesting movie...



I just watched one of the most interesting movies i've ever seen.. Cashback.. it's basically about how this guy dealt with his breakup ... and how he managed to freeze time to experience his passion for art...

what's cool is that , he can do whatever he wants when he freezes time... that includes touching people , changing people's position , taking off their clothes to paint them ... by the way he has got a thing for the female body.... the naked kind... and his passion is painting it that way.....

it gives me an idea of how a person should just take time off to appreciate what's going on around them... and think... to have a better perception of their life... it's an ongoing process... never ending... so sometimes you might just want to hold on to a moment a little longer...

anyway , the movie ends with a happy ending... hah... not so much of a review , but wat the heck... it's a great movie.. go check it out..

here's the trailer..



*thanks to Sebastian for this movie... i loved it...
** Keeley Hazell stars in it as well... ahaks..

I seriously hate Cicaks..

I'm not fond of cicaks... or lizards.. you can say that i have this phobia whenever i see one... it's just too disgusting ... and i can't sleep right now... and that's because of this stupid cicak..

i just got home just now... and just when i turned on the lights , i saw this ugly , disgusting cicak on my window's "mosquito net" ... and it doesn't look like a normal house cicak that you see... this one is HUGE!!! and it's colour is similar to the army's camouflage ... greyish with blackist stripes ...

I can't chase it away because the cicak is behind my window's curtains.. and... i'm a little afraid to move the curtain because .. well... Phobia laaaa... i don't think i'll like the idea of it jumping on me... and to make things worst ... my bed is just under the curtain.. urrgghhhh... thinking of it gives me the shudders...



I'm thinking of how to sleep properly tonight... haigh...
