撒嬌

續《單身男女2》後，最近上映了一部由周迅，隋棠，黃曉明等演員主演的喜劇《撒嬌女人最好命》。裏頭授教女孩應該如何撒嬌的伎倆：風情萬種post 、甩頭髮、秀秀女生原始武器、裝傻充愣、疊字攻略、還有最經典的四部曲："真的嗎？人家好想聽！人家不知道啊！及在電影裏主打的"討厭！" 張慧（周迅飾演）在裏頭是個女漢子，從讀書時代就暗戀小恭（黃曉明）。半路殺出個俗稱"騷浪賤" 的蓓蓓（隋棠飾演），所以男子頭的張慧就被迫學撒嬌技巧來挽回小恭。

這部都市愛情攻略電影除了愛情笑點到位之餘，其實劇情尾聲男主角還是選擇了不善於撒嬌的女漢子，說明了真正的愛情始終講究的是彼此的真性情，你我最原始的一面。以不掩飾、不做作、不修飾的性格找到彼此最舒服的相處方式。對我而言，女生撒嬌當然可以，但是不適宜太over。撒嬌就好比飯後甜點，吃太多反而會覺得膩。要懂得善用女性特質才是重點，有節制，不馬虎。

我不會撒嬌，主張自然美，乍看之下還覺得有點像劇中的女漢子。相信真性情是維持彼此感情重要的因素。對我而言撒嬌是一種點綴，不適合過量，因太奢華的愛最終累人累己。我主張自然是女生魅力所在，不需學習那煩人的撒嬌技巧，不需想破腦袋來取悅對方，用心關懷，用心愛護對方來得比較實在。

Yiruma ~ A Virtuoso Pianist

Listening to a concert is always a good way to be introduced to an album or famous artist. No doubt cost of the ticket is a driving factor but from a listener's view, it is still worth it if we can spare the money and indeed we will appreciate the music differently and the most important : " I DID! "

Yiruma's concert in Malaysia. Before the concert, I had a quick listen to his latest album - Blind Film.  For me, it is somehow similar with style he played in his previous release - Stay in Memory. But after hearing his played during the concert, it is totally different! 

"Maybe" has been chosen as the prelude of the concert.  An enjoyable and lighthearted piece. For me,  Yiruma's music is simple, a melody driven pianist who needs conviction in its tunes to elicit the emotions of listeners. " I create my music with freedom and inspiration." he said. This is why I love his music so much as his music allows listeners to consider the emotion itself instead of the lyricist's interpretation. The sincerity and the nature feelings of the message is there and a good pianist - Yiruma transcend it. 

The half part of the concert contained more his early pieces. A more intimate, iniquitous emotions piano ballads in the air. Yiruma's music allows me to have my own imagination, flashback while maintaining personal intimacy. "Kiss the rain" was the last piece of the first part during the concert.
Beautiful melodies while for me the minor tonality is quite similar to " A River Flows in You". But between the two well famous, I am more to "Kiss the rain", i adore the emotion that brought to me although you will feel hurt sometimes.  I always think that "Kiss the rain " is seems to illustrate a lonely, melancholy people, perhaps after a crush of love. But somehow it is beautiful although it  break my heart sometimes. 

Kim Young Min -  A Cellist joined the play in the second half of the concert. Yiruma played more songs in his latest album " Blind Film". Reminiscent and memories has brought me back to the passed, and this is why I tend to like this album afterlistening to his live, simply because it resonates. I am enamoured with another song in this album which named - " Blind Improvisation". It is a piece which was co- written with his cellist collaborator Kim Young Min. The performance of the night was impressive.

Yiruma's played of the night is like a story- telling session, it complete with an intro, characterization, imagination, crescendo, bridge and comes to an ending. The songs tell different stories, different notes shared by different tracks but there are always continuity.
