Part 2 ( Penelope )

My dear friend, Jocelyn asked me to watch this movie a few years back, but I didn't watched it till today.

So happened that someone uploaded the whole movie on youtube , and I was pretty free today. Hence , I decided to give it a go !! And it turned out pretty good!!

I have to say, I hardly watched any chick flick ( is this what they call it ?) . But this movie is quite my cup of tea, because it is not that kind of boy meets girl, you like me, we kiss each other, and some over the top love scenes.

Seriously, does it have to be that way all the time ??  * Annoyed *

But Penelope is a decent movie that deals with accepting and loving yourself for who you are. And that love is more than just a physical attraction or infatuation.
I love how Penelope slowly accepts herself for who she is, and slowly let the public see her as she is. It takes lots of courage and determination to act as she did.


BTW, I love her scarf. And she speaks French too!! =) 


And, there's the guys. Yes , two guys to be exact that 
i ) Claims to love her ( He proposed )
ii ) Really loves her but didn't confessed at first. 

The first guy was the actor that played Mr Bingley in Pride and Prejudice ( 2005 ) 


He played such a nasty character in this one. 
Halfway watching Penelope, I was shouting
" How could you, Mr Bingley ?" 



I mean I like his hairstyle, but seriously I hated him in this movie.

Which means that he is a good actor. Oh well. 

And the second guy, 
Ahhhhhhhhhhh 

James McAvoy , blue eyes. Nuff said. 

My favourite scene 


Too bad I don't play chess. 

All I can say now , is that this movie has a happy ending. How ? 

You'll have to watch it yourself. 

Here's the link for the full movie. 


Enjoy !

Just when

Just when I just deleted this blog, I received an email from Amrita S from India. ( Yes, I got a huge shock as well ) Apparently she came across this blog , and found out that we shared a lot in common.
It's very nice of her to write me an email. =)

Does this mean that this is my first international pen pal? ( well , cyber pen pal I guess )
It's truly amazing to find someone who shares so many common grounds with us. I mean, that's how a friendship starts right ? =)

Amrita is quite a blogger and writer, I must say. I love her writings and I hope you will support her as well.

Here's the link. http://www.theblackcatopinion.blogspot.in/

So I guess, The Sound of Words is here to stay. =)

But I'll start another blog, which deals with my new passion for shoes and also about my life after STPM. =)

God bless =)

Sherlock , Camp and Good Wives

It has been so , so , so long since I last blogged. Feeling guilty but who am I suppose to blame ?? A new semester has now begin, and my dear readers, please do forgive me if I fail to update my blog now and then ......

But I had a good , 2 week semester break. Don't want to talk about exams now, but I'm rather happy to share with you how I started and how I ended my holidays.

1. Sherlock

That's how I begin my holidays lol. My deskmate, Juwie has been telling me how nice and how addictive this series is , and my oh my, how true she was. The minute I watched the first episode of Season 1, I continued to watch until Season 2 and now, I longed to watch Season 3 !!!
I have been a fan of Sherlock Holmes ever since I read the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes , and now with Benedict Cumberbatch in the picture, I am nothing but an ardent fan of his !!! Oh, I love how he portrayed Sherlock, in a modern, versatile yet original and inspiring manner. And of course, the ACCENT ~~~ How I love listening to British accent, it's just too wonderful ! Oh, and of course his famous sidekick, Dr Watson too ! Watching both of them  talking on TV is like watching a married couple on TV. I wonder if that's the producers' idea to stir up some " bromance " between both of them. I truly appreciate their friendship. But with all due respect, I hope that Sherlock ends up well and good as a normal guy. I don't mind if he's courting Molly, because she truly deserves him . =) It was somewhat emotional to see Sherlock sacrificing himself for the sake of his loved ones. He is a human, afterall. Awwwhhhhhhhhhhhh


2. Camp 

I truly needed a get away from all my reference books and endless tuitions. Having the church camp in Genting View Resort is indeed a wise decision. I was truly blessed by the sermon and God's amazing grace and love. I began to understand more about what we are to do, as children of God and how the Word of God enables us. With God, all things are possible. I am thankful to God that he has spoken to me, and ministered to me during the camp. It's very comforting to know that there's someone who cares for you , and will never reject you, leave you nor forsake you even if everyone does. I slowly began to surrender my burden, baggage to Him, because with my own strength, I will struggle continuously and aimlessly. Sometimes when I think I'm over a person or forgiven a person, but it's not. Forgiveness is one of the greatest gift that one can give to oneself. It opens the door of your heart, ( prison ), and set you free completely . And there's more to life than just focusing on disappointments, and why seek appreciation from the wrong company ? There's a spot in our heart that only our Lord God can fill in. 
I pray that God will slowly show me the way, and wisdom on how to be the person that I was fashioned to be. =) 

3. Good Wives 

What are holidays without  at least a good book ??? I have longed to read the sequel of Little Women - 
Good Wives !!! I know it's only available in KLCC. Hence , I sought help from my BFF and sister in Christ, Jocelyn to buy for me. And , I never regretted it !! Even though, I knew what was going to happen, I simply enjoyed the book so much ! In fact, Louisa May Alcott is such a good storyteller that , at times I simply hope the story will go on forever and ever. The story continues with the later life of the 4 sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. Each of them had their own share of story in the book. Meg got married to John Brooke, and had a pair of twins ( Demi and Daisy) , Jo married !!! Lol, she actually married, seriously ! So did Amy ! But poor Beth died towards the end. I love how true the characters are to me. They are not without imperfections, and this book perfectly demonstrated how they struggled , and persevered towards the end. What happened to the charming Laurie ? You'll have to read it yourself !! =)

And I watched the movie " Little Women" too ! It was really nice, but I prefer the book !! =) 
The March family 


The handsome and sweet Laurie ( Yes, " Batman" he is )
