Lovely Musical :"Forbidden City : Portrait of the Empress"

I have not posted any blog for sometime, life is simply dull, with unhappy news pouring in. But there is still a bit of joy during this period, they are
1) My 'used-to-be' golf partner just have a daughter, I am happy for him
2) Watched 2 acceptable movies: 'Monster House'(animation), 'The Host'(Korean)
3) Most of all, last Friday's Musical : "Forbidden City : Portrait of the Empress" fill the grey world with colours.

Dick Lee (composer) is just brilliant! The songs suits the background and the emotion of all the scenes, and the best of all, it makes the lyric so easy to listen. I could not catch all of the Lyrics for most Broadway performance, but for this musical, I could hear them loud and clear, may be because Dick is a Singaporean and know the taste of Singaporean?

The weakness of the performance is on the other hand, is also language. The mandrain subtitles has so many wrong words (although the pronounciation is the same), it is laughable to most chinese educated people.

Kit Chan, the leading Singer, is wonderful! I have always like her performance since her performance with Jacky Cheung in 'Snow, Wolf, Lake'.

The performance has successfully encompasses most of the emotion in life, happy, sadness, betrayal, fear, anger...

I am so glad I did not miss this performance and sure it cheer me up a bit. (I drafted this entry while listening to its soundtrack)

Summary of the week

Monday on medical leave, and recovered fully on Thursday. Thanks all of you for leaving comfort comments on my blogs. :-)

Work has begin to pick up speed this week, 4 projects on hand.
1 is on going project, 1 just kick-off, with 2 on going active feasibility studies.
Nothing really interesting happen at workspace, although the same disappointment to work efficiency at the workspace.

Today, I went to help a friend's company to clean Computer Virus, it feel good to be needed and useful. After that, I also have a short gathering at my house with 2 ex-colleagues that I know for 10 years, good to stay in touch. At least, today is a meaningful day.

Lately, there isn't any incident to feel happy, nor any special incident that feel sad, other than disappointments. Life is basically the same day in, day out. I look forward for some changes, I think it may be time to attend some course of my interest to spice up my life.

No SunShine Today

I am not feeling well since last Thursday and I am totally fallen sick with fever today. Hope I can recover soon. :-(

BLOG接力遊戲 ~ 書TAG

Thank you, Hyacinthus.
Here you are.

1.一本你不只讀了一次的書
Because I always revert back to my pessimistic character after a while, I tends to do read Andrew Mattews' 'Being Happy!' often.

2.一本你如果身在沙漠時想讀的書
Should be a map or desert's survival Guide. :-)
See, the title with desert make me relate to lost in desert, which nothing mentioned about being lost, I am sure pessismistic.

3.一本令你發笑的書
That isn't much books I read recently that make me laugh. I tends to laugh while watching Japan Anime recently. So about books, it will be Doraemon Comics, which I have a lot during my childhood. Now I only collect the VCDs of its Movies. (only movies, not the 20 mins per episode story)


4.一本讓你哭的書
There are quite a number of books that make me cried.
'Tuseday with Morrie' by Mitch Albom is one of them.

5.一本你希望是自己寫的書
If I can write 'Mars & Venus : Together Forever', may be I will be able to be happily married still.

6.一本你希望從未寫就的書
Nil.

7.一本正在讀的書
I have been reading a lot of technical articles, white papers and Gartner reports. But for book, it is the pocket size book 'The little book of Advanced Sudoku - Volume three'. It is the hardest so far, after a few books that I tired.

8.一本讀來有意味的書
As it is usually able to relate to our working environment, I will choose books from the 'Dilbert' Series.

9.一本改變你一生的書
If a few more zeroes is added in it, perhaps my bank account book is the one, else there isn't any yet.
