We had ourselves a little costume party last night. Will let the pics speak for themselves… click on any of the thumbnails to view the album! :)

The Voice of Wolverine
For little reasons here and there (mainly the film The Prestige), Hugh Jackman’s resurfaced in my consciousness. Yes, there was a time not too many years ago when I was rather crazy about him. I wasn’t alone. Weizhen and Yinwei liked him just as much *grin*. He holds the record as the only actor that […]
MSSA TAR & Thanksgiving Pics
Click pic to view album. I got an earful from Johnny Boy a couple of days ago for not giving him new photos to view. Well, it’s been a while since I’ve been inspired or actually had my camera with me. I suppose in a way these days my lenses have been focused more inward […]
Ah Marie…
The OPLers went for an evening at the movies yesterday. Talk about girls’ night out… we watched Marie Antoinette and all the frills and lace and gowns and jewellery on the big screen made me feel so… girly. I’m grateful to Wanting for telling us before the movie began that she’s heard that the movie’s […]
Rapunzel in The Magic Kingdom
Was surfing the web for things Wicked. At Kristin Chenoweth’s (original Glinda on Broadway’s Wicked) website, I read that she has started work on Disney’s new animated movie Rapunzel: Unbraided!!! Chenoweth’s voicing Rapunzel… and an actress I really like, Reese Witherspoon, is voicing another main character in the film. YouTube has a short preview to […]
A Wicked SMS Duel
I knew it as soon as the SMS came through. That a game’s afoot! Oh it’s been so long since I’ve done this… the rush was fantastic! It just so happens I was listening to the Wicked soundtrack, and my phone buzzed. Kenneth (Li): This is terrible… I’ve been trying to study for some time […]
The Path to Wicked
There never yet has been a musical that’s played so hard to get with me as Wicked. My interest to watch it began in March 2005 when a theatre critic in New York personally recommended it to me. I checked some reviews, all of which were glowing. Wicked was showing in Toronto then, but all […]
Mother & Son
Zibin and I were talking to his mom on Skype earlier. ********* ZB Mom: (to ZB) “ä½ çš„è„¸æ¯”è¾ƒå°‘è‚‰äº†.” ZB: “是啦, ä½ çš„è„¸æœ€å¤šè‚‰çš„å—.” ZB Mom: (to me) “这个å©å很å．　牙尖嘴利．” ZB: “是è°å…»çš„？å（养）ä¸æ•™çˆ¶ä¹‹è¿‡ leh.” ZB Mom: “父在外é¢!” ZB: “那是财政部长．” ZB Mom: “Aiyah, ä½ è„¸çœŸçš„ç˜¦äº†.” ZB: “ä½ çœ¼ç›å°å•¦ï¼Žã€€æ‰€ä»¥çœ‹æˆ‘的脸瘦．　我眼ç›å¤§æ‰€ä»¥çœ‹ä½ 的脸胖．　è°å«ä½ 生我的眼ç›è¿™ä¹ˆå¤§ï¼Ž” ZB Mom: *to me* “Eh, å彬生下æ¥çš„时候很丑的 leh.” ZB: *eyes widen in indignation* ZB Mom: (goes on […]
Compassion
Something I didn’t know… that the Latin root of the word ‘compassion’ means “to bear with” or “to suffer with” (com + pati). Nouwen writes that, “to live with compassion means to enter others’ dark moments. It is to walk into places of pain, not to flinch or look away when another agonizes. It means […]
Love. Pain. Freedom.
To love at all is to be vulnerable….If you want to make sure of keeping [your heart] intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket of your selfishness. But in […]
