I was having a flu,... been drugged by the medication... i slept the entire morning after a light breakfast and of course the medication. I woke up around half-past noon, checked my messages on my cell, then I grab my laptop by the bedside and checked my emails... responding to few emails and comments on photos I posted on Facebook... My stomach grumble lightly... I went to the kitchen to grab a bite and saw a few DVDs on the coffee table. Owh, yes! I bought some DVDs last night. While waiting for my baked potatoes done, I decided to watch Mamamia.
It was indeed a great musical. Perhaps because I love the songs.. I literally cried watching the movie. Maybe its because I'm being too emotional ( lately) or maybe I'm too attached to the songs which I practically grew up with. These songs took me back to the long journey of balik kampong with me and siblings cramping in the car singing, the journey of our short holidays to Port Dickson, Malacca, Morib and Desaru...via jalan kampong (those were the days when we had no highways and tolls). We memorised the songs by heart due to the repeatable audio that has been programmed un-intensionally to our brains. Besides ABBA gold greatest hits, mom's Benjamin S java songs and Kenny Roggers greatest hits songs were also been memorised my heart. We didn't realised that until one day Dad decided to rent a van for a trip to kampong for raya holidays. We had grown bigger and all of us couldn't fit in a sedan car. The rented MPV had no cassette player. So after a while, we got bored and started singing. We end up singing the songs from the cassette that we used to listen while we were in the car. Abba, Benjamin.S, Kenny Rogers, and Sound of the Music soundtrack...
I love Meryl Streep and Colin Firth. Meryl was so full of energy in this movie. My favourite song among all is no other than "Dancing Queen"!!! Thats the song that could make me run to the dance floor and boogie! Same goes to my karaoke routine. It will not be a complete event if I didn't sing that song, mostly terribly..
I laughed at Colin Firth's dance... at the end of the movie. He was terribly cute! And nevertheless, my high school crush, Pierce Brosnan... has never failed to amazed me. I had a crush on him since his debut in Remington Steel. I used to have his poster in my room back then, and some were at the back of my text books and files..
