Mamma Mia! - The Winner Takes It All

Just last Sunday, I caught this show with San over DVD. I was totally mesmerised and captured by this song in the show (originally by ABBA). It left me humming it for the next few days... :)

The composition is GREAT, and the lyrics is so well written!!!... In addition, the music blend in really well with the lyrics. I simply LOVE the way Meryl Streep expresses herself towards Pierce Brosnan (her lover in the show) during her singing. The initial part when Meryl Streep sang the sentence 'The Winner Takes It All', it carries a kind of negative, small, 'lost it all' kind of feeling. BUT towards the end of the song, she turns it around, coupled with the change of music, 'The Winner Takes It All' was sung in a Stronger, Powerful, when she sort of 'claim' herself as the winner despite of her confusion and heart pain. When I hear her sings, I can literally feel the pain that she felt at that point in time. It was simply so engaging.

The lyrics can be found here.

This show is highly recommended!!!... Do check it out if you can... :) You will probably hear many hit songs by the popular '70s group ABBA in it too... :p

Updates...

A fren commented that it's easy to start a blog, but hard to 'maintain' it... Hee... how true!!!... When busyness sets in, blogging is the last thing in the list... :p

Time flies... Literally flies... We are in the month of July now...

Well, for the month of June, after so much has happened, I only started work on the 16th. And not long after, it was work retreat on the 19th. Initially, I felt really 'disoriented'. Before I can get into the momentum of working, it was 'disrupted' by the retreat. Well, it turns out pretty well. Though it left me feeling more tired... :p

Check out the no. of guys in this photo... :p

Then, it was the 'assignment' week. I need to hand in the assignment by the end of the month, but I have not even started reading on it. Physically, emotionally, I wasn't ready for it. Somehow, I felt calm though, knowing that it will be in good hands, as I am quite an 'expert' in last min work... :) As I was abt to embark on 'burying' myself in the assignment, the deadline was postponed. Praise God!!!... He does know my 'limitation'...

Well, July has jus begun. One of the highlight is the 'Durian session' with some CG mates at Highland Centre. Wooh... The durian there is simply 'AWESOME'!!!... Check out the link here. Bought 2 boxes back for my parents, and I was so glad to see that they enjoyed it so much, though it does burn a hole in my pocket... :p Nevertheless, their smiles 'compensated' everything... :)

'Mao Shan Wang'... isn't it 'AWESOME'??? Wooh...
