I have been hearing this song on the radio but I didn’t know its title or the artist. Then, I heard a teenager singing this song in a restaurant and I was like, “So that’s what the song’s about…”
SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW BY GOTYE
Here’s the official music video:
Beautiful. Creative. So full of meaning. Do you get it?
You should also check out the parody of it – equally meaningful, equally creative. Quite hilarious!
Here’s the MP3 – “Making Mirrors by Gotye”

I have been going through some old movies and found The Beach
We watched the movie 2001 or so and I remember being apprehensive about visiting Thailand, even though the pristine, plankton glowing blue waters Leonardo DiCaprio and Virginie Ledoyen swam in was very tantalizing.
I was such a scaredy cat that NOTHING the husband did could persuade me to visit an Asian other than Singapore. Yes, I was that pathetic.
Anyway, it’s a great movie, which shows the colourful and exciting adventures a group of Americans, French and Scandinavians find themselves in when they go off the beaten track in Thailand…
I just found out that the movie’s actually based on a book! Is it as good as the movie? The movie’s really not bad.

Christmas is coming and many people are rushing to catch the best of discounts and sales everywhere. I myself have almost completed my own Christmas shopping.
I watched this movie a few months ago but the plot and main characters are still fresh in my mind.
Her parents work very hard to keep her at her private school where she shines in her studies. They are simple people who believe that an education will help their daughter make something more out of her life, something better than theirs.
However, her nights out with the man takes a toll on her studies and she slides to the point of failing badly. Furthermore, she starts to get curious about her biyfriend’s job, which he isn’t very upfront about.
They argue when she peppers him with questions about the dubious nature of his job.
Finally, he shouts at her: “How do you think I pay for this? (her necklace) Or this? (her dress). Everything needs money!”
She wakes up from this fantasy she had been living in and goes back to school. Will she be able to climb back up on the horse she had fallen off? She was the top student. Now, she is on the verge of flunking school.
You will have to watch the movie to find out. It’s worth it, though and I would show this movie to every teenage girl if I had the chance.
