As I mentioned in an earlier entry, my extremely pithy understanding of Hokkien is unfortunately limited to vulgarities and a few ‘name-calling’ nouns. However, over the last week, I’ve doubled my Hokkien vocabulary (which roughly means I’ve learned half a dozen more phrases or words). Why? Because of an amusing Hokkien song that John gave […]

Opera once more
Almost a year ago, I watched my first opera. This time around, I went to watch what’s supposedly Tchaikovsky’s most popular opera Eugene Onegin. I have never read the Russian classic novel by Aleksandr Pushkin before, and neither have I watched the 1999 film adaptation starring Ralph Fiennes and Liv Tyler. I suspect I might […]
Remembering Heath
When Heath Ledger passed away earlier this year, I was saddened and shocked. He was a brilliant young actor who had so much to live for. And he was only my age. I came across this video clip of the first movie I ever saw Heath Ledger in: 10 Things I Hate About You. It […]
我很快ä¹
Jing Jing shared with me another great blog entry by Taiwanese celebrity blogger lilyqueen titled “妳è¦å¿«æ¨‚”. Reading it, I almost felt like I was reading my own reflections in Mandarin. (it’s spooky, this isn’t the first entry I felt this way about… and the blogger is just a month older than me.) Happiness, they say, […]
Let's start from here
There’s a friend’s blog that kind of serves as a radio for me. Every now and then she uploads a new song, and every so often, I fall in love with it. What’s interesting for me is that the music she uploads isn’t the kind I usually listen to or look for on my own. […]
Once upon a time this was hip ok! *smirk*
Those of you born within a couple of years of me will definitely remember å°è™Žé˜Ÿ. They were so hot back in their heyday that even I knew a few of their songs. Thing is, I never *saw* them in action. I was showing Zibin a video clip of Rain dancing earlier. That led to Zibin […]
Jaw-droppingly 'androgynous'
Here are two versions of the theme song from My Girl. One of them is a male version, the other, a female version. Can you tell which is which?

Piano Battle & Duet from 《ä¸èƒ½è¯´çš„秘密》
The Battle The Duet Happened across these videos on youtube and found it entertaining enough to make me consider watching the film《ä¸èƒ½è¯´çš„秘密》. :) I’ve also embedded the soundtrack which has some pretty pleasant pieces with emphasis on the piano.
