Grease 2 - What have I been watching???

I watched a re-run of Grease 2... after more than 10 years.

Grease and Grease 2 were like my all time favourite shows when I was young.
I didn't bother to watch Grease on cable TV but well I happen to switch to Grease 2 this morning.
Lo and behold, I was glued to the TV screen and suddenly I realized that it was like a bunch of nonsense. And some off pitch singing. If the actors went to audition for American Idol, they would be like the butt of Simon Cowell's jokes and of course the other judges as well.

One of them was like practically just shouting her lungs out and she was like one of the lead characters. ??!! Then again maybe not. She was just like another prop in the cast.

But it was still a good walk down memory lane. I'll look for some of the video clips in you tube...

James Blunt Lost Souls Tour 2008 in Singapore

I caught James Blunt in concert and while I was expecting a man on stage strumming his guitar, I get more cos he communicated with his audience as well. He talked and joked and flirted with his audience and that added to the entertainment value. Amazing.
He even went off-stage and made a run in the crowd. This guy is out of his mind. Well, I happened to sit right by the aisle so I get to grab him up-close. No dirty grabs, just reached out my arm to him. That's not as bad as jumping at him like I planned to :P
Well it was a fun concert with good singing and performance. If only it's the same as the US league of the tour where he will perform with Sheryl Crow!!! That would be a real treat for the crowd.
Am I writing a concert review? haha... I am not a good reviewer of concerts. The last one I went to was No Doubt's some years back, like 10 years ago? That was a long time ago, wasn't it? Will it be another 10 years before my next one. Only time will tell. But if James Blunt comes back, it may not be that long...

Ayat-Ayat Cinta

And here is one quality Indonesian movie. Flawed but still good.

A message to all about Islam. To Muslims and Non-Muslims. A message to the sinners and the righteous or so they think.
A scholar in the making, righteous and seemingly perfect, desirable, coming to terms with his weaknesses surfaced after his marriage.

Marry - Out of love? or out of faith?
Polygamy, a right or a responsibility?
Where is the place of the wife? What is the meaning of sacrifice?
Sacrifice. For Love? For Faith?
Is it really love? Maybe lust.

Sinners and saints. Are sinners? Are Saints?
Can Saints do wrong?
Has God turned away from the sinners?
Are we to judge?

The lack of tolerance, In Islam or Muslims?
Have we been unfair to our faith?
To our Book?
Reflect...
