Didn't know that other than a great British comic actor and a filmmaker, Sir Charlie Chaplin was also a composer that composed the score for all his films, from the late 1950s to his death, at the age of 88.

 A great quote from a great man

True

So, laugh more peeps

        I was totally amazed when listening to all his master pieces despite the fact that he was not a trained musician and could not read sheet music and needed the help of professional composers. He taught himself to play the piano, violin and cello as he developed a passion for music as a child.

        Since I first heard his music, I can't help but keep repeating the whole sound tracks that was composed by him. Listening to his beautiful music can at least hold back all the stresses and worries before start treating my first real patient after this holiday and bring me a peaceful mind. One of my favourite is "Blue Eyes", opening title of the movie The Kid (1921).

Blue Eyes

The Kid - Opening Title

"Look up to the sky.

You'll never find rainbows if you're looking down."

--- Charlie Chaplin

        A fun fact before ending this short post: Charlie Chaplin had blue eyes. Most people guessed he had brown eyes since they only see him in black and white films. LOL haha!

        Hope you enjoy his music! Kthxbai! 

        Finally have time to blog about the great food and great time me and my boy had at The Kitchen, a restaurant in the Melia Kuala Lumpur hotel! It was actually a birthday dinner surprise I planned for him two weeks ago and he really surprised when I brought him into the restaurant.

        The Kitchen located at a very strategic location, it situated just beside the Imbi monorail station, we reached there by walking from the station less than 2 minutes.  The restaurant was on the left side of the hotel, both of us were so excited for the buffet dinner once we stepped into the restaurant haha!

        I got to know this restaurant through the Groupon website, where I bought two groupons for the buffet dinner at weekends, which costed me 80 bucks each. The price was much more cheaper than dine in without the groupons.

        The restaurant provided a great ambiance for us to enjoy the good food and also bonding session *blush blush* There was not much people on that day so we stayed for almost three hours at there eating, chit-chatting and also capturing lots of pictures! We really had a great time at there!

        Photo time! Gentle reminder: don't scroll down with an empty stomach!
