Can't get it out of my head!!!, 4 July 1999
Author: jms (seale.family@pacific.net.sg) from Singapore

I watched this film when I was a young girl in Taipei, Taiwan. I loved the film! From the wonderful cast, to the scenery and the musical scores! It has stuck with me throughout the years as being one of my favorites. My sister and I had the sound track and played it all the time during our teenage years. If I had it today, I would still play it.
