Once

I was just surfing around. Bored. Then suddenly my mp3 player play this one song, "Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard & Markeeta Irglova. This song won for the Best Original Song in Academy Awards 2007. This song was a soundtrack to an Irish musical film, "Once", that written and directed by John Carney. This film received the Independent Spirit Award for the Best Foreign Film in 2007.

I still remember the day that Wanie, Aiman and me, get so excited to watch this movie at UiTM Puncak Perdana campus. We arrived there extra early then everyone else. If I'm not mistakes, it was on early 3rd semester i guess, correct me if I'm wrong Wanie. It was Tuesday, after going for the talks with Michelle Hogenes at main campus, the theree of us decides to go there by our own, so that we wouldn't have to wait for our bus at section 17 campus. We take the UiTM bus from the main campus that go straight to the Puncak Perdana campus. We arrived there around 4 or 5 something i guess. Well it's extra early cause the show will starts around 8. The we're go to have an early dinner. Then after finishing the dinner, look at the clock we still have about 2 hours before the show started. We start to mumbling around looking for a place to lepak while waiting for the show, then Aiman was searching for surau, to have a prayer. Firstly, we're going to the surau, just for a prayer, then when seeing there's no one there, we're start to lepak in the surau while waiting. We're talking, laughing and sleeping. It was fun. I miss that day. Owe and I've been so jealous with Wanie, cause she brings her instrument together and she keeps get everyone attention with her instrument, while i didn't bring mine. Huhuhu. No heart feelings erk Wanie. Just joking! Well as a music student, we're proud to bring our instrument everywhere that we go, so that's the point.

Back to the story, after lepak and etc, we're get out from the surau around 8. Cause the theater room was just near by. Cause we're extra early, so we got the very front seats. That movie was really amazing. It wasn't a typical love story. All the songs are nice. But of course, my favorite, our favorite (most of the students), is the main OST, "Falling Slowly". The story is about love, of course, friendship, family etc. This story is about a Dublin busker play by Glen Hansard and a Czech immigrant, play by Markeeta Irglova. This story is about a short relationship or friendship i guess, that effects each others life. How they point their self to the right direction. It ain't ending like a typical love story. It end with each other at the win - win situation, it great, cause they ain't selfish, they think of others before making the decision. Well, honestly i did cry, but i dunno either anyone notice about it. Hehehe.... Well i heard that they might wanna shoot for ONCE 2, but I'm not so sure about it. Cause the news that i heard on tv, wasn't clear enough for me to hear it while that. Well, i hope, they will have ONCE 2, cause I'm so excited to watch it. And hope for some more better songs.

If you have a chance to download or to but the cd's you should watch it. It's a nice independent story. Well, if you try to search it on youtube, forget about it, cause I've already search it no one shares it. Only the OST clips are there. Well you should listen to this 3 best OST, "Falling Slowly", "If You Want Me" and "Lies". It was so nice. Well here is the clip for the main OST and my favorite song ever, "Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard and Markeeta Irglova.

P/S:Love the movie quote. "How often do you find the right person? 'ONCE'" It's very nice
