Be Original

I like watching tv shows.

I also like watching movies.

I love music.

As a mean of escapism, these 3 elements have been a big influence in my life so far.

I grew up watching many memorable tv shows, great movies and just superb music.

But of late, I sort of realised that a lot of the tv shows are not as good as it used to be.

I'm not sure if it is because I have grown a lot older and has a little bit of OCD when it comes to the stuff that I would watch on tv. Or maybe the genres have evolved so much and I am clinging oh so dearly to the tv shows of years gone by.

Maybe both?

Movies are the biggest offender in my opinion.

Do we lack imaginative, passionate script writers to churn out original stories to be made into movies?

Time and time again the movie production companies have come up with movies that are based on story books and comic books.

And then you have all the sequel, prequel and all the in betweens movies that supposedly should have occurred.

Sure, it brings big bucks to the companies.

Fans of the story books and comic books sure are happy that their favourite characters are being brought to life.

I don't know how much longer I can watch these type of movies.

I confess.. I am guilty too.. I am a fan of the Twilight series.

But it stops there.

Period.

So maybe in the not so near future, I'll stop watching movies altogether.

I can't say the same about tv shows though.

Or maybe if I get annoyed enough I will just do that.

Or maybe I'll just turn the tv off.

Or maybe I'll make my own movie.

The only original movie script that I can think of while ranting now is Sharknado.

Do you have a favourite movie that is not based on any living or fictional book characters?

Pastel Coloured Sweetness : All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor

I enjoy listening to feel good music and when I find one, I will share it with others.

So today I am going to share with you about my fondness to Meghan Trainor's song All About That Bass.

It has good, positive lyrics.

In a world where body image is a big issue, I think this song has done a good job at telling people that  it doesn't matter how you look like, because every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top. 

Enjoy the song!

Soulful Melody : Tahu by Fynn Jamal

I came across a Malay song that I find to be very soulful recently.

Tahu by Fynn Jamal 

dan kau tanya dalam diam
dengan mata kau biar pejam
bagaimana mampu wujud sunyi
di riuh engkau berdiri

satu persatu hilang ertinya
berdikit dikit menyesak dada
mahu kau lari dan bersembunyi
tapi mana engkau harus pergi

haus tak terpuas lautan
lapar tak terkenyangkan
kau tahu namun tak kau akukan

kau selongkar bumi langit petala
sedang jawabnya lama engkau ada
maka perlu apa engkau bongkar gali
kalau cuma diletak tepi

sayu tak terjelas fikiran
rebah tak tersambutkan
kau tahu
namun tak kau akukan

apa kau cari
yang sebetul betulnya
lama mana begini
bertelanjang jiwanya

apa kau nanti
yang sesungguh sunguhnya
malam siang berganti
jawabnya tetap sama

sayu tak terjelas fikiran
rebah tak tersambutkan
kau tahu
kau sayu
kau rindu
sama tuhan

I like songs that has meaningful lyrics, and in this song each and every word is pronounced clearly. 

Listen to this song. You may like it :)
