Eat Pray Love

Went to watch this movie with friends, Melissa & Raz - Julia Robert's latest film 'Eat Pray Love' a few days ago. It was very inspirational and I liked the fact that the movie was based on a true story/a life memoir of Elizabeth Gilbert, also author of the book with the same title. And I also bought the book 'Eat Pray Love' just recently - good read, really! My next buy will be 'Committed' (more on marriages or being committed to love) also by Elizabeth Gilbert and probably could be the next sequel to the movie (who knows). I love the music soundtrack in the movie - will go buy the CD as soon as it's out. A movie worth watching - go watch! It's about letting yourself go......

Since the movie is based on real life....I would love to meet this so called 'medicine man' from Bali named Ketut Liyer - he really does exist, how interesting will that be, I wonder...Ketut reading my palm??:)

Let me share something about this movie (click info from website here - cool site!)

Storyline: Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having - a husband, a house, a successful career - yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali. Based upon the bestselling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love proves that there really is more than one way to let yourself go and see the world.

Anyway, weekend is here again.....enjoy people!

I bought a book called 'This Is Not A Book' / Random Book Excerpt #2

I know that book has got a strange title. I've always wanted to buy a Keri Smith (read more about her in her Wish Jar Journal, my daily inspiration) book but never found it at any local bookstore here before or tried purchasing online. I was really suprised to see Keri's 'This Is Not A Book' at Times Bookstore. I didn't buy instantly but finally made my mind to grab a copy the week after. That book is really out of the ordinary - it's more like an activity book (peculiar stuffs/think creative/you have to be someone imaginative/do something you don't do everyday & etc).

Front cover:


Back cover (guess buying online is much cheaper-damn):


Note to the reader/user (Keri even wrote that this book is an inconvenience because her instruction goes: Take 'THIS IS NOT A BOOK' everywhere you go for 1 week. You must place it in full view at all times.)


More info about this book (oops, I forgot this is not a book), check here (taken from Keri's blog).

So if you wanna join me do crazy stuffs from this book - let me know! It would be fun:)

Dua Dunia Satu Cinta

That's the love theme of one of my favourite Malaysian singer, Ning Baizura and Omar Sharif Christopher whom had just nikah last 31 Jan 2008. Watched the special coverage of their kampung theme wedding at 'Kampung Nekmat' on Astro Ria yesterday evening. Ning has been one of my inspiration in music and I think her unique vocal is one of a kind. I have most of her albums in my personal collection. I wanted to blog about her wedding because particularly I just love this two beautiful photos of the couple taken by Saiful Nang, a well known photographer. (Click on his name and check out his expertise..remarkable I would say!) If you love Ning and would like to know more about her wedding, check out 'Mr Manager' blog (Ning's manager - Vernon Kedit Jolly).
