Awaken your elektrifying senses



This is my all time favorite broadway. I watched it last year in NYC, and I felt shivers the moment Wendla sang "Mama who Bore Me." It is not the typical broadway show, the story is daring and it portrays teenage discovery in Germany dated 1891. Hurray to Duncan Sheik for the magnificent soundtrack! I never get bored listening to it, it just bring fresh memories of the live performance.

Forgive me for posting some of the cast. I was just too star struck!haha! They are already alumni.

This is the young and innocent Wendla (vendla) portrayed by Alexandra Socha.

Emmily Kinney as Anna. She also alternates as Wendla.The cutie Matt Doyle as Hanschen. A daring character!He had a kissing scene with Ernst (I didnt get to take a pic of him.) He also alternates as Melchior.
Trivia: Matt went out as the BF of Serena's brother in an episode of Gossip Girl.

Gerard Canonico as the mad and confused Moritz. He was very warm to the fans.
My friend and I were waiting for Melchior to come out but he never did!

Must Love Dogs

Dogs are a man's bestfriend.
I was not quite sure with it since I've never had a pet.
Until recently, my encounters with them went well. They are adorable afterall.

This is Paris. She was so sociable and almost everybody loved her. She was so dear until she left and never came back home.
This is Mallow. She was cute when she was still small. She loves to hide in between the shoe racks, and probably it's her chance to secretly nibble on our rubber slippers. We eventually let her go and gave her away when we didn't have enough slippers to wear!

This is Barack, (yes named after the present U.S. President) the dog of my sister's boyfriend. He is very fierce, or just what I think so. Whenever he comes in our house, he keeps on running as if he has ADHD.

The one on the left is Mako and beside her is her sister Lola. Both of them seemed so busy with each other until Mako died of Parvo. It was so sad because it was the eve of Christmas. Until then, Lola became sociable to us. She loves being cuddled.

This is Jexer, the dog of my Grandmother. He is so fluffy and very playful. He longs to go out whenever we go out of my Grandma's house.

Dogs can be a very good friend. They are loyal and will listen to you when you have no one to talk to.

This reminds me of the movie Marley and Me. It made me teary-eyed.

How adorable can a dog like this get?

Hottah!

Q: What is most common with Twilight, Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and 17 Again?

If you have seen the three movies, then you can picture it. Edward Cullen wears it when he is with Bella, and goes to school with a new outlook in life. Zac Efron, when he went back to being 17 again and went to his first day in school, and Benjamin Button when he went to see Cate Blanchett as a younger "hottie" Benjamin.


A: The lead men wear leather jackets and sunglasses in a particular scene where they show off their youth.

Probably it was the King of Pop who we"ve always seen in the outfit (though I don't see any sign of youthful "hotness") When you put him on stage to perform. BOOM!

I've seen his concert videos played in the malls and the audience were crying, screaming and even fainted! He is very influential in music and he is a genius in performance. Just imagine ..Thriller and Billie Jean. Most of his music are great hits!

He will truly remain in history.

The leather jacket and sunglasses then was a mark of his youthful hot carreer.

All we need is love

Love is such a broad concept. It can be anything we interpret it with. It can be used to express feelings to another person and an interesting subject matter. It is synchronized with something good: when we love we feel good.

Love is very powerful.

In this artwork, "I Love You" (Social Scultpture) after Joseph Beuys, love is expressed through the universal word. Arabic letters are made into symbols and artfully hanged in the Esplanade Lobby, Singapore.
Arahmaiani's works are often judged as political art as it gives statement to the current issues and crisis in the area.




War arise everywhere; war between countries, war between culture, war between ethnicity.

Love can heal.


So it is an artist like Arahmaiani who is bold to spread the answer to what we all are suffering from.

Are you gibberish?

Along with my interest in dance, I share the same fondness with music.=)

Sigur ros is one of my favorite band. I discovered it through my modern teacher, who choreographed the music "Saeglopur" for our 2007 summer dance workshop recital. The very first time he played the music, I instantly loved it. For my recital thesis, I choreographed an abstract piece for the finale dance,"Hopippolla"(hop in puddles)the title derived from the music.

Sigur ros is an Icelandic band. They use vonlenska, which is the term described used in their lyrics. The band describes it also as "a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music.”

Well, you won't understand a single word unless you speak gibberish! You'll just have to listen then you'll understand it without explaination.

Agaetis byrjun, one of the most popular song.



Hoppippolla.



Happy listening!
