loved audrey, loved albert, loved stanley, loved henry.
great work.
i'd been searching for this movie all over and waited for TCM to show it for yonks back in australia, so it was a pleasant surprise to see it on the shelf at HMV yesterday. i couldn't wait to watch it, and it lived up to all my expectations. plus +++++ it has audrey hepburn playing cricket with albert finney :) bonus bonus bonus!
stanley donen is really a marvellously talented guy-- some of his other movies are my favourite too, like the pajama game and charade. his movies are always witty and sophsticated, with this undoubtedly "cool" martini sipping tone to it. henry mancini's score adds to the mood too.
then there are the uber cool titles done by maurice binder, who also did the titles for the 007 films, as well as charade. here's an article about his titles for 007///
such a romantic movie, and makes one think about marriage and love, because it's not a "happily ever after" with smug marrieds abound.

other events happened today (esp. at cricket training) which really made me appreciate my relationship with my parents. thanks for looking after me, and i hope that i can in turn look after you two as well.

holiday... day 1... & 2


day 1: relax...sleepies! enjoyed friends' company. movie time. saw isabella with shu2, fiona (shu's friend & clone) & mung. film was largely disappointing and would have been a waste of money if shu didn't have free tickets for us to go. granted, the film is beautiful to look at.
Day 2: got my passport (quite obsessed over how good the passport photo turned out)... day out with annie, shu2, mung, tak2 & chau man. quite baffled on how much young people, actually, just people in general, swear. then i realised that i swore as much in english but i didn't swear in cantonese because none of the swear words were in my vocab. well, i do now! loved the cool place in TST-- four floors of small shop shopping... last day of being alone in the house... enjoying the serenity, but missing the folks... found "two for the road" and invested in "last tango in paris".... want to see more bernado bertolucci films these holidays...
...these holidays are going down the drain...

food fad


QUAKER HONEY GRAHAM OH'S

eating cereal again, lol... haven't done this since australia! the hint of honey, the crunchiness, the combo with milk... ahhh..... i have a major fixation with this. it makes quite a snack before bedtime... YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM...

holiday mood

i'm madly cleaning house at the moment and catching up with overdue laundry. the folks are returning tomorrow and i don't want the apartment to look like a shithouse when they come back!
but it looks like i'm going to have a restful holiday... with sit-ups, push-ups, script reading and dance practice in between.

post theatre jazz.... elementary... + pic

mr. darcy... ahh...
"ngau lei so"... yum!!!

after today, i've come to the conclusion that i'm not even up to elementary standard, yo!!! but hell, i had fun. no one could wipe that smile off my face. the others probably thought that i was "off my head".
it was weird revisiting those "jean wong school of dance" days. henry (our teacher) taught us our steps at 100 mph. point, flex, plie... i should have kept dancing when we first moved to oz... but it's better late than never, heh! thank you, jamie, for making me want to dance again. thank you carol haney, gene kelly, gwen verdon, cyd charrise, ann miller etc etc for being inspirations.
the world is my foyer! let's dance!

photoblogging.... oh how i miss CC!


friday.

talking about you makes me feel a little better.
a little less stupid and gullable.
still scarred.

now that i'm chasing a goal doesn't make me any less vulnerable. or lonely...
had a weird night at paris, airing out the shits.

i know what i want now.
i must achieve what i want.

i can't have everything.

------------------

funny friday.
jamie wasn't there in the morning.... using the wrong music: "why didn't anyone say anything?"... haha... loving dance more and more... but disappointed that we won't be doing this next year in dip 2...
singing.. checked our range--- i'm a G to D.
cantonese... doing well, and if i do enough study i won't be failing.
paris....................

RIP hong kong musical theatre

heard from apple that MT @ the APA is folding. how the hell are we supposed to have local kids who can tap and dance like gwen verdon now? where the hell are we supposed to develop our own talent? where jamie (who makes friday mornings fun), our theatre jazz teacher henry, all the dip 1 kids has trained will be no more.

.RIP- MT @ APA.

arg.

i remember having a better relationship with my parents when i was working, depressed, and had absolutely no friends.

may be i'm better off having no friends.

viva a la musica

hong kong singers are doing my fair lady... shall i audition?

to wai wai

killing me softly with his song. roberta flack.
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style, And so I came to see him and listen for a while.And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes, Strumming my pain with his fingers,Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words,Killing me softly with his song. I felt all flushed with fever, Embarrassed by the crowd,I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.I prayed that he would finish,But he just kept right on strumming my pain with his fingers,Singing my life with his words,Killing me softly with his song,Killing me softly with his song,Telling my whole life with his words,Killing me softly with his song.

-------------------
music moves me.

4/4... children's day

i'm no longer a child. i'm a 21 year old, no longer a girl, but a woman... or am i? completely dumbfounded by mr. s-y's mid lesson question...can he smell loneliness being emitted from my pores?
i drank a few too many... cried like a drunkard... a completely bridget jones moment.
thank you for all your friendship- sheena, tak2, chau, artemis, siu tung, don, kit, annie, owen, mung, chung..... i've never experienced the beauty of true friendship. you guys are the best.

language qualms

完美。
as in: 張國穎和Mr.Darcy的婚禮會是很完美的。
but who would've thought those two words would be so hard to say?

time to work hard!

fun fun fun!!!!






fun friday, fun saturday.
from reading other peoples' blogs it seems that i'm not the only person in my class who thinks that ms. j is a pretty cool teacher. she just makes people catch the "dancing bug" from the first lesson and that's a talent in itself... her enthusiasm for dance is infectious. i'm lovin' it!

today... cheung chau.... fun fun fun... never had as much fun... since sydney anyway. sun, sand and surf all in one amazing day. and great company too! what a day...
