Look at this amazing short film starring principal ballet dancer Alessandra Ferri alongside Sting, who plays Bach's 'Prelude' from 'Cello Suite nr.1 in G major' on acoustic guitar. Set in an abandoned city building, complete with water damage and dark, misty atmosphere, this film is something different and plainly beautiful.

Musical Magic: Mumford&Sons
I discovered that this band even exists a few days ago and I honestly love every song they have ever sung. Their influences include some of my other favourites: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, as well as Kings of Leon and I just find their music to be such a breath of fresh air and sincerely beautiful. They write inspiring songs whisch one can identify with... Here is the music video of Winter Winds, but do yourself a favour, check out their website and listen to their other songs (especially Awake my Soul, After the Storm and Little Lion Man).
The band consists of Marcus Mumford (vocals, guitar, drums, mandolin), Ben Lovett (vocals, keyboards, accordion, drums), "Country" Winston Marshall (vocals, banjo, dobro), and Ted Dwane (vocals, string bass, drums, guitar). The band formed in October 2007, rising out of what some in the media labelled the "West London folk scene."

Musical Magic: Find Love by NLX
I heard this song on the Brothers and Sisters episode Righteous Kiss the other night and fell in love with it. Ironically, it is called Find Love and is performed by spectacular band, NLX. It is from their album, Bitch Get Fit.
The song is just purely inspirational and I especially adore the piano sequences (it reminds of of the type of melodies I like to compose.)
Enjoy!

Where I want to be Today: An Incredible Library
I feel like reading a really great book today, but I wish I could be doing just that in one of these places. These make you crave knowledge, they make you want to disappear into fairy tales and make you want to learn about new places or cultures. If the libraries I went to were as beautiful as these, I would never be at home...

Happy Anniversary...
30 Years...
...is how long my parents have been married today, 17 December 2010.
My mom had just turned 20 and my dad was a mere 21 when they exchanged vows in 1980 and 30 years, countless ups and downs and four children later, they still have the world to talk about, cannot imagine life without one another and still look into each other's eyes with utter devotion.
To those of you who do not believe in fairy tale love, these two people are proof of its existence...
Some pictures of their three decades together...

And my absolute favourite, their Sound of Music moment in Austria....
Happy Anniversary!

Zhang Jingna, only 22 years of age, was an expert with an air rifle at 14, but became an expert with a camera at age 20 and now shoots for countless high profile clients, such as Harper's Bazaar Singapore, Elle, Lancôme and Random House Publishing. She is the youngest ever recipient of Fellowship in the Master Photographer's Association and divides her time between Singapore and Los Angeles.
