Le Festin- Camille (Ratatouille Soundtrack)

I love this song!!so romantic and beautiful.. although can't understand the french words, but can somehow feel like im in Paris when listening to it! You gotta watch Ratatouille!

Here are the lyrics in eng and french, Enjoy!
Le Festin

French lyrics:

Les rêves des amoureux sont comm’(e) le bon vin
Ils donn(ent) de la joie ou bien du chagrin
Affaibli par la faim je suis malheureux
Volant en chemin tout ce que je peux
Car rien n’est gratuit dans la vie

L’espoir est un plat bien trop vite consommé
A sauter les repas je suis habitué
Un voleur solitaire est triste à nourrir
A un jeu si amer je n’peux réussir
Car rien n’est gratuit dans…

La vie… Jamais on ne me dira
Que la course aux étoiles; ça n’est pas pour moi
Laissez moi vous émerveiller et prendre mon en vol
Nous allons en fin nous régaler

La fêt(e) va enfin commencer
Sortez les bouteilles; finis les ennuis
Je dresse la table, de ma nouvell(e) vie
Je suis heureux à l’idée de ce nouveau destin
Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin

Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin

The Feast
English lyrics:

Dreams are to lovers as wine is to friends
Carried through lifetimes, (and) spilled now and then
I am driven by hunger, so saddened to be
Thieving in darkness; I know you’re not pleased
But nothing worth eating is free

My hope is a banquet impatiently downed
Impossibly full, now I’ll probably drown
Many thieves’ lives are lonely with one mouth to feed
If giving means taking, I’ll never succeed
For nothing worth stealing is…

Free at last; won’t be undersold
Surviving isn’t living; won’t eat what I’m told
Let me free, I’ll astonish you; I’m planning to fly
I won’t let this party just pass me by

The banquet is now underway, so…
Bring out the bottles; a new tale has spun
In clearing this table, my new life’s begun
I am nervous, excited; (oh) just read the marquee!
A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting for me

A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting for me

Unexpected Lunch

Yesterday, went for lunch with colleagues -choo bee,too and chin..at Shi Men Ti restaurant in S&M(next to kotaraya). I ordered beef soup noodles. My food came first, so while waiting for other orders to come, we were just our usual self, talking crap and laughing.

Then when the waitress came, she just put the food we ordered on the table, until we saw a slice of pork meat dropped from one of the bowl onto the tray..so ah too,upon seeing this, pointed his finger at that particular slice of pork to the waitress. In fact, all of us looked at her anticipating her to do something..


And......without much hesitation, she quickly picked up the pork with her bare hand and put it back into the bowl where it belongs as if nothing has happened and walked off.
Jaws dropped, brains numbed, eyes wide opened..we were really in disbelief..hahahaha..her action was way too fast for anyone of us to digest..It happened so fast, i cannot believe it!hahahahaha.. we cracked and laughed our heads off in total disbelief!!!

Jeez..this is so outta mind!i never thought such thing will happen,plus we are not in some dirty hawker center but we are getting this kinda service!

Anyway, that pork meat rice was Chin's. He finished it anyhow...and didn't mind at all..hahaha..(maybe with the waitress' extra 'ingredient', it tasted better!only god knows!)

Conclusion- I think i will not go back to this place again.hahaha..but for her 300% 'selambaness' and 'do-i-look-like-i-give-a-damn-bout-ur-pork-face'

It's priceless!!!hahahaha..

Oh yeah, forget to mention that we saw a little 'siew keong' there too. muahahahahha...
