Falling in Love with Russian Fairytales
First of all, thank you, Leona and Harry, for this invitation. I’m extremely blessed to be able to join MPO for yet another magical experience! This time is Russian Fairytales and I’m swept away by my imaginary prince already. It begins with a 6-minute opening. OH-MY-HEART, it is an invitation to go on an adventure with a person in search of love. The music just echoed the tender, vulnerable and a longing heart for someone he has yet to meet. To me, even at the very beginning, he knows this person exists. Yes, I want to journey together! The chase in Bartok, translated through violin, is presented by the very…

I love you too! By Eve Bunting
My children really grew up with Scholastic books. Today’s review is I Love You Too! By Eve Bunting illustrated by Melissa Sweet. This is a very high quality hard cover book, and really even the pages are hard cover. There is no fear of this book ever tearing.

Ola Bola Move With Live Music at the MPO Review
Ola Bola is a Malaysian movie inspired by true events. It was released in 28 January 2016, and I must admit, I did not get to catch it until last week. Maybe it was meant to be, as I get to watch it for the first time, big screen with a Live Orchestra. Not just any orchestra but the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. After a week is nearly over, I can still feel that magic in the air. Let me tell you why. First things, the movie is amazingly beautiful, of international standards, acting and storyline wise. I love the whole thing and devoured the whole seamless performance. OlaBola was hugely…
