Bunny Needs Home




Hello People!

Helping my fren Yvette finding this extremely cute Bunny a home. It's a Netherland Dwarf! She bought it in total for about 500 bucks which includes the vitamins, 3 kinds of food, 2 kind of hay (meaning 5 kind of food) and then the shower powder, the food tray, the rabbit comb, the disinfectant, the water bottle and a HUGE ass cage (quoted from Yvette) which won't need to change for the rest of its life. It's alot of stuff added into this exclusive package. Quite a deal for just 350.

Call me and I'll help seal the deal.

Yvette's doggy is disturbing little bunny too much. So before it gets eaten up, Bunny needs new home. How can you say no. Awwwww.....

《上海之夜》 完结篇

很快的,《上海之夜》在上个星期六正式演出完毕。感触良多。我这个人有个大缺点,那就是对于我喜欢的东西我常常有着很深的不舍之情,要一段很长的时间才能放手。我很喜欢《上海之夜》,这八个月来的努力就在两天的呈现中告一段落。有时觉得挺可笑,但也知道要完成这样的一个Project真的需要很大的努力,毅力及勇气。忙忙碌碌了八个月,现在突然停了下来,energy跌倒了谷底,完全无法再融入下一个Project里。觉得有点恍惚,空虚,反而觉得更累,心情到现在还是无法平复下来。很舍不得所有工作人员,演员们,设计师等。尽管告诉自己不能哭,我还是在Cast Party的最后大哭了一场。真是丢脸丢到尽,还好所剩的人无几。

从寻找、凭请演员、设计师、工作人员到配合导演的要求、彩排及演出的安排一直到宣传,说不累是假的,但的确忙得非常开心。觉得日子过的特别充足。虽然我无法做到可以please每一个人,但老套地说一句,我问心无愧,能够做的我都已经做了。我也觉得我特别幸运,在整个过程中遇到了很多贵人,毫不计较地帮了我不少,我也在很多人身上学了不少东西。我在整个过程当中耐心被推倒了极点,我现在真的觉得没什么事是做不到的。

《上海之夜》的票房和我预期的一样好,但评语却没我想象中那样完美。可以说是mixed reviews 吧!有好有坏。有人觉得舞台不够豪华,有的觉得很美 (我当然是觉得很美啦!那个backdrop是我的favourite)。有些觉得音乐有新鲜感,有的觉得不够影响力(我爱Philip写的那些新歌,都已经背熟了,时不时就会哼一下)。Choreography不用说,我觉得Jeffrey真的没话说,很committed(我的最爱是那一场文冲打完仗回来,群众演员在桥的另一端做出手争扎的一幕,实在太美了)。

苏永康很好相处,歌声很有磁性,Emma无法质疑是实力派老将,Mindee很可惜。。。虽然演技顶级但却败给了歌声。这些歌曲真的不容易唱,我想上上下下的工作人员都知道她有多用功,付出了很多(这是观众看不到的)。但有时有些事我想不是我们能控制的,不是付出多少就得到多少。也只好看开点,乐观点吧。Celine一鸣惊人,Darius是笑点之一,Daniel 在短短的时间内说了一口算是挺标准的华语,Judy一直苦恼着如何把一场笑声做到最好。群众演员很爱闹,但我也很庆幸有他们参与这个演出。认识了一群可爱的小鬼们,和他们一起闹,觉得自己年轻了不少。哈哈。。。

虽然大家都有怨言,至少都有把本分做好吧!难怪人们常说台上三分钟,台下十年工。这是身为观众永远无法体会到的。我是个幸运儿。 我还真是啰哩八说个没完lei.
好了!就这样!

在此,由衷地感谢所有演员及工作人员!

《上海之夜》 我爱你!

It's Coming! It's Coming!

I can't believe it! 8 months has whizzed pass me and Shanghai Blues is staging in a few days! I am so f*cking exicted! It's so exciting that I can really think of the F word to descibe this! Haha.. In a good way of course!

My baby has grown into something so big! Even though I have watched it like 5 times of the rehearsals (with costumes, without costumes, only half of them have costumes, etc), I am never sick of it! I still laugh at the same scenes, teared at some scenes when I'm moved. I'll definitely cry like a baby when it performs in Esplanade this coming weekend. I think I told the whole world about this. HAhaha...

So much shit in this production! Last minute requests, coordination, my cast, my crew, the space, the band, the cock ups. There are many times when people expect magic from me and I feel like saying F u (in a bad way), but it's all good now. I have grown loads from this experience. It's hard to say goodbye. And even though its not staged yet, I know deep down in my heart its all worth it!

Besides the shit, I think we still had fun. Some pics below on spooky people. Some are in their stage make up, so yea. Of course they dun usually look like that! Duh!

I Like it

Wow! It's been really super duper long since I last blogged. I'm gonna do 2 blogs in a row! I'm really tied down by loads of work these days. Anyway, I'll blog on that in a while.

It was Granny's Bday last week. And most of the 3 generations were there. I always enjoy the company of big families, though I'm not into having a family myself. Haha.. I love to hear the laughter, I luv the warmth and I luv the noise. It just makes me feel great. I can't explain it. It's a family feel. Ah Ma seems really happy even though the food sucks. LOL. I guess thats wat really matters. It's a pity it's only twice a year. We short little kids are now all working grown ups. Think of the silly things we did in the past, its stupidly funny.

Here are a few examples:

1) A fat cousin of mine spat his chewing gum into my mouth.
2) My partner in crime drank XO with me. We were 10 and 11?
3) We threw yakult bottle into toilet bowl to destroy evidence that we drank 2 extra bottles.
4) My sis sat on my head with her naked ass when we were jumping up & down on the bed.
5) I have 1 cousin who loves banging his head against the wall.
6) I have one cousin who use to behave like a gal.
7) I have 1 cousin who spout vulgarities when she was just 4!
8) I gave a cousin a superb karate kick in the tummy while we were wrestling.
9) My cousin cried when he played sword fighting with me.

many many more! It's just too many to list down. But wow, it is sad to know that we hardly meet now and sometimes we dun even noe wat to tok about. But hey! After we slowly warm up, everyone is high again. Especially the photo taking session. It was chaotic!!!!

But I like..... :p

We took dozens of fotos but I shall just let you take a peek on Genration 1 , 2 & MY family.

Cheers!
