Round the World Visitors!!

I have been so caught up with work and training and other personal matters that I havent had the time to sit down and update my blog especially for my relatives around the globe. Recently, sometime in the beginning of February, Winnie Ee and Uncle Theo from the Netherlands were on their "world tour" and had a stop over in Brunei before heading to Brisbane to see Agnes Ee and Uncle Dave. They were very happy to see the new addition to the Sim Family, Sophia Yasmin.

And for 5 days now, we have cousin Veronica and her boyfriend, Terry visiting us all the way from Edmonton, Canada. The good thing about Brunei is that there is not much places to go to, we all end up catching up on the latest movie and tv series like Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, Desperate Housewives and so on.... But of course, the best part is we feed them good!!! Dunno how much more Terry can handle the food here.. hehe...

Sharing Husband..... The Movie

I have not seen that many Indonesia movies, but today I pay my respect to one particular movie called "Berbagi Suami" which literally means "Sharing Husband". It has made its mark globally in various international movie awards. And what is the jest of this movie you may ask?? Well, its about polygamy which is widespread in Indonesia. The producer of this very clever movie links the emotions of women who succumb to such phenomenon. I was particularly impress with the way the story falls into place and how life perceives itself. You would not even have felt that this was a two and a half hours show.... and like two other malay movies that I have also enjoyed just as much, Sepet and Gubra (Sepet 2), a Malaysian production, I salute the movie producers of South East Asia for their quality and excellent movie making!!!!

And what caught my attention from this movie was the soundtrack which I first heard in MTV Jus one Sunday morning. A band that you would never would have expected to be a really cool Indonesia group called, White Shoes and Couples Company. I love their style (ala 60s/70s) and their songs. I am still looking for their album and for those in Indonesia reading this, send me the Album!!!!

I leave you with the music video of White Shoes and Couples Company and the sound track of the movie, Berbagi Suami, entitled Sabda Alam... enjoy....
