I was surfing in the internet and suddenly saw an article about cheese cake.. Cheese cake!! Made me drooling.. Drooling!! Delicious cheese cake.. A piece of yellowish cake with different toppings and flavors.. There are several available flavors can be found in the Secret Recipe cake house (my favorite cake house), such as Blueberry cheese cake, normal cheese cake etc.. Other than cheese cake, there are some other types of my favorite cakes too.. Chocolate Banana, a cake which has the banana flavor surrounded by small pieces of banana and a layer of thick chocolate.. Kiwi, mango.. Are some other flavors that can be found in that cake house..

It's been long time I didn't take cheese cake since my closest friend went to France to study... As both of us ware the secret recipe's cheese cakes fans.. Hehehe.. We used to go there together during tea time to taste the cheese cake.. ;) Even if when we a gang of friends were having farewell tea time with him, our last tea time with him was cheese cake as well.. :P

And now he study overseas already whereas I still in Malaysia.. But I loose a friend to accompany me to have cheese cake during the tea time.. Tea time now no more cheese cake eating at secret recipe, instead I have some other friends to have tea time with me at some other places..

Cheese cake, brings me back to some of my memories when I was in 3rd year degree study.. A life when there are still many friends around me together.. Friends are like wind.. When the wind starts blowing, I guess it's time for them to walk away and start a new life with new friends around.. =)

The Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera,

I watched the movie of "The Phantom of the Opera" last Sunday together with my boyfriend... It was indeed a romantic movie.. I was touched deeply by the story after finished watching it...

His voice calls to her, nurturing her extraordinary talents from the shadows of the opera house where innocent chorus girl Christine Daae makes her home. Only ballet mistress Madame Giry knows that Christine's mysterious "Angel of Music" is actually the Phantom, a disfigured musical genius who haunts the catacombs of the theatre, terrifying the ensemble of artists who live and work there.

When temperamental diva La Carlotta walks out in the middle of a dress rehearsal for the company's latest production, the theatre's eager new managers have no choice but to thrust Christine into the spotlight.

Her mesmerizing opening night performance captivates both the audience and the Phantom, who devotes himself to casting his protégé as the opera's next star. But he is not the only powerful man to be awed by the young soprano, as Christine soon finds herself courted by the theatre's wealthy patron, the Vicompte Raoul de Chagny.

Though she is enthralled by her charismatic mentor, Christine is undeniably drawn to the dashing Raoul, enraging the Phantom and setting the stage for a dramatic crescendo in which soaring passions, fierce jealousies and obsessive love threaten to drive the fated lovers past the point of no return...

This film was AMAZING!

It looked gorgeous, the singing for some reason has been slated a lot by critics but I thought the singing was wonderful and everyone should be applauded especially the two leads Emmy Rossum and Gerald Butler they were brilliant.The songs sound as good as ever, there was one thing that really ticked me off with some reviewers they have said "The song are in desperate need in updating" and all I can say to that is "Don't change perfection because its already perfect. The stand out moment for me was the beginning,when the film changed from black and white and went back in time to tell the story,it sent shivers down my spine. I have to say i've never seen the stage show but now i've watched this I don't think I need to..

A movie that we should never miss!!
