TITANIC OBSESSION [Part Two]

I was so obsessed with TITANIC that I have been desperately looking for its VCD and soundtrack since I was 14 years old.

You may be wondering why I only started to do so 4 years after I have watched the movie. One thing for sure is that my passion for this movie will never fade. Well, I will never miss the opportunity to watch TITANIC whenever it is being broadcasted on ASTRO until a certain time, they never show it again. Same goes with the song, “My Heart Will Go On”, stop too! I will always watch MTV or V and anticipating them to broadcast the music video until my parents de-subscribe the channels. DAMN! I AM DESPERATE TO WATCH IT AGAIN.

Back to my journey of retrieving those stuff into my life. It took me 4 years. Eventually, I got it all. (I guess!)

I am begging my parents to look for “My Heart Will Go On”, either audio or video. Somehow, my daddy got it from his friend through handphone. You know lah, all those Bluetooth stuff.

I still remember it was somewhere in July where TV3 broadcasted TITANIC movie during weekends. It has been so many years I didn’t watch it. After the movie finished, I feel like that I was not really that satisfied. With a burning spirit in me, I have determined to look for its VCD during the following week. YEAH, I GOT IT!

TITANIC VCD - CHECKED!

2006
Somehow, I feel something is missing. Damn, I miss the music video. By that time, I was still new to this online stuff. I don’t even know the existence of YouTube, Friendster and even Facebook. At the mean time, I heard people all around me keep on saying MSN, DoTA. Err….. Excuse me, what’s that??

Anyway back to me. I will keep on looking for the music video whenever I went to any VCD shops. Sadly, none of them sell the music video, even the compilation with other artiste. I still remembered that I would like to buy Power of Love (first one) but after I know it is just a CD and don’t have VCD, I was sad again.

I also keep o searching when I have the chance to online. (Remember, YouTube is not in my mind at that time.) I just keep on typing “MY HEART WILL GO ON MUSIC VIDEO FREE DOWNLOAD” again, again, whether using Yahoo or Google. Disapponting. They don’t have the free one.

In the middle of searching, I spotted something that catch my attention. TITANIC DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION DVD. One of the features is music video of the soundtrack. It must be my song! Eventually, I got it too! (but the journey is tougher than last time, will be revealed later.)

I am still not satisfied because the music video is embedded in the DVD. Don’t know how to extract it. It’s an original DVD, well, I guess cannot be done. I am not an IT nerd.
Luckily, one of my friends has it. (Where was she when I was so desperate last year?) Anyway, I got it from her.

ALL CHECKED!

2008
This is not as I expected but I also managed to get other soundtracks of the movie where all are only music. Among my favourite are “Nearer My God To Thee” and “Unable to Stay, Unwilling to Leave”. And also, other versions of “My Heart Will Go On”. Woah! There are lots of them.

You must be thinking this guy is pretty much crazy and pathetic. Well, may be I am but as I said, I am OBSESSED, or perhaps “POSSESSED”! Haha! :-)
