What's Happening
Welcome to the newly redesigned website. It's still a major work in progress with a lot of "page under construction" page holders. But I really wanted to get rid of the old layout as quick as possible. So bear with me. I will try my best to get the full site running.
So I was just talking to someone about movies and how there aren’t very many good ones out now, especially Romantic Comedies. When I named some of my favourite ones, I couldn’t believe that she hadn’t seen them at all. But in trying to make this list, I actually had trouble trying to come up with 5 really amazing ones.
1) When Harry Met Sally
The best Rom Com ever, IMO! So witty and funny.
2) Sleepless In Seattle
Meg Ryan truly was the rom com queen back then.
3) Shakespeare In Love
Okay, so technically it’s just a romantic film. But I’m a sucker for British movies. Which leads to…
4) Emma
Another Gwyneth Paltrow movie. And based on the Jane Austen book. (No, the Pride and Prejudice movie with Keira Knightly does not make this list. I hated it with a passion. Horrible horrible adaptation. Watch the 1995 BBC TV series with Colin Firth instead. Soooo much better.)
5) Only You
It’s a sweet story and I love Marisa Tomei. But not nearly as good a the two Meg Ryan ones above. Those takes the cake.
6) Bridget Jones’s Diary - Honorable Mention
I did like it. But maybe because I liked the book so much and had read it before seeing the movie, I didn’t like it as much.
7) While You Were Sleeping - Honorable Mention
It’s very rewatchable. And I tend to pop it in my DVD player around Christmas. But like Only You, it’s lacking just a little bit something.
A Little Princess - One of the best children’s films ever. It’s beautifully shot by Alfonso Cuaron with an amazing score as well by Patrick Doyle.
Secret Garden - Another well made adaptation.
My Dog Skip - With a very cute young Frankie Muniz.
Little Secrets - Discovered this movie at Blockbusters. It was a previewed copy. I was just attracted to the back cover and it turned out to be a really good film for young children AND adults. Stars Evan Rachel Wood.
Madeline - It’s really adorable and fun. With Francis McDormand.
All movies listed are Rated G. Even though they are for kids, you don’t have to be 12 or younger to enjoy them. They are for all ages. I still rewatch them over and over again and never get tired.
Hey. I realize that many people use IE7. But well, it totally sucks. Please for now use Safari, Firefox, Opera, Camino, etc… just about any other browser that is not Internet Explorer to view my website. I don’t understand how all the other browsers can interpret the CSS styles as I’ve designed except stupid IE. It’s just plain looks wrong. Sorry about that. If you are on a windows machine, use Firefox. But really, you should be using Firefox anyway!
Sorry! Hadn’t had much time to update. But I do have some exciting news. You may get to hear some very cool remixes of some of my songs very soon. Big thanks to Krazy Sandi working his magic. He took some of my songs and transformed them into electronic/trance styles. Can’t wait for you to hear them! Will keep you posted.
Yup, the internet has made it very easy now to stay in touch with friends and family all over the world. I recently had my own cyber-reunion with my cousins. Most of them are in Hong Kong. Although it would’ve been nice to have been able to use my iSight to see them. But unfortunately, only 2 of us had Macbooks and everyone else MSN account…meaning we could only communicate through Messenger. Of course… Messenger being an MS product had failed to make the Mac version of their program with Video capabilities and I can’t video chat with MSN users through iChat But still, it was nice to catch up with my cousins.
Thank you very much to everyone who view my YouTube Channel! Especially to those of you who subscribe. Pretty awesome that it’s only been 9 months and my Everything I Do (Cover) video has over 60,000 views. Many of which came in the past few months. Hmm. I’m going to have to make a special video or something when it breaks 100,000.
At some point, I do plan to upload more videos. I’ve been actually dying to do “Daughters” by John Mayer. So hopefully soon, I’ll have time to record it =D
Cameo on “The Gem Of Life” 珠光寶氣 - Part II
» January 26th, 2009
So, I just found out that my 2nd appearance aired on TVB last Friday. This time, I’m in a white outfit singing only for Choi Siu Fun’s character in the double episode 68+69.
Oh, I made a mistake with the name of the song I’m singing. It’s actually “Ma Rendi Pur Contento” which says on the newspaper screencap. My bad. It is not “Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento.” I don’t know why that song name popped into my head when someone asked me.
Remixes by Krazy Sandi Released and On Sale Now!
» January 9th, 2009
Noella with a dance song? What? Okay, so they were originally not intended as dance/trance/electronic tunes. But thanks to Krazy Sandi of Mythoz Records working his magic, a completely new sound has been created.
Wishing everyone good luck with their New Year’s resolutions
Screencaps from 珠光寶氣
» November 18th, 2008
To answer some questions: Yes, I did the singing. This was actually filmed a while ago. March 2007 to be more precise in Hong Kong. It took the whole day to film. Thanks to everyone, make up, wardrobe, director, photographer, crew, and of course, Jacky. Actors were all very friendly. Was a great experience! Wish I was able to get a newspaper prop to keep. But I was back here in Toronto while they were still mocking everything up.
So these pictures are screen caps from Episode 21. I should be making another appearance later on in the series to keep your eyes and ears open!
But still, it was nice to catch up with my cousins.
