"...And the beauty of a woman
With passing years
only grows." by Cindy Moraes.

This verse is supposed to reflect on the bond and mutual appreciation between husbands and wifes that (in most cases) only grows by years. Literally, it does tell the reality about some women. Virginie Ledoyen (1976-), Julie Delpy (1969-), and Audrey Tautou (1976-) are three of the most beautiful and talented French actresses. Of course, there are other talented actresses such as Binoche. But...I have to pick three.


Frille

"呢个女仔" is always by my side,
since long ago before my realization of time existence.
We are so familiar with each other,
such that I've never doubted her as my soul mate.

However, "这个女孩" has come into my life,
with all her grace and popularity.
Although conventional is never my cup of tea,
she is definitely not an eye sore to the whole of my race.

Time and place brought my fate to "gadis ini",
of whom I have never been easy with.
She haunted me throughout my teens,
and I am thrilled to leave her now and forever.

With great enthusiasm and anticipation,
I eventually caught the glimpse of "dieses Mädchen".
Her elegance could make all gentlemen bow.
I will never hesitate to reunite our companionship.

"Kanojo" pops up once awhile before me,
always in her most "kawaii" face that melts my heart.
Her voice comes across my mind,
every time I sit before the screen.

"This girl" has proven to be my most important,
without reminder from anyone.
She is my first love, and will be my forever love,
cause we have been bound by this (international recognized-) marriage.


I think I wrote this about a year ago. Yes! It was on 5th June, 2006. It came as a surge that my friend, Tang Wai Hoh, and I competed with each other to write a poem about "girls" at the shortest time. Well, he won, and his was quite an impressive one. This poem "Frille" is not about girls as the title and the contents suggest. It's about something else, something possessed by everyone. It would be fun for my dear blog-visitor to make a guess on their own^^ The only hint for you is - Frille is "girl" in French, and I don't speak French at all.

OK. I can't just display pretty pics of French ladies only and end my blog here. In fact, I would prefer to marrying an asian even if I ever had the chance to settle in Europe. That's because asian beauties ROCKS!!! Just kidding^^ I enjoy cultures of both the East and the West, and even the Mediterranean. But...I just feel closer to Chinese people. That's it.


Lastly, I would like to introduce three asian divas that will stay foever in my heart:
Matsu Takako (松隆子) is an actress in both the Japanese series and the theater, who has also starred on widescreen in one of Shunji Iwai's films, April Story (1998). Besides, she is also one of my fave singers.

BoA (宝儿) has just released her 5th Japanese album, Made in Twenty, and yes, she is just 20 years old. She started her career about seven years ago, but she had to receive intensive training one or two years before that, which means she had really missed out alot of school. Being a current pop diva in Asia, she can sing equally well in Japanese and Korean. But her performances in Japan is definitely better.

Ha Ji-won (河智苑) might be best known as the lead actress in Sex Is Zero (2002). Well, I can't probably say she is the best actress on widescreen, but she did have some solid performances in drama such as Damo (2003) and Hwang Jiny (2006), of which the latter had won her KBS Drama Best Actress Award. Her acting in Duelist (2005) was pretty cool too. After all, I am attracted to her angelic face and heart-melting smile in Love So Divine (2004) and Daddy Long Legs (2005).

Credit to the three angelic divas, they are well known for politeness, diligence, and most importantly, lack of celebrity rumors. My best wishes to them for meeting the ones who care for and love them forever.
