My Fair Singaporean Lady -

Adapted and Directed by Professor Andrew Wilkinson


(a comedy-musical; story rewritten in a singaporean context)
:: Liza, a young, street-wise girl, aspires to be a star. However, her hot headed character brings her into conflict with the judges of a major vocal competition, and she is forced to earn a meagre living, selling copy watches and singing in a lounge.

Her 'uncle' and guardian, a gangland boss tries to develop her raw talent by employing teachers - but they turn out to be totally unsuitable. Then, one day, she meets 2 directors of a Performing Arts School, who are suitably impressed by her determination.

Together with her friend, Raj, Eliza embarks on a course of training at the school, and she is chosen to represent the school in a competition. Despite the efforts of the notorious singing teacher, Madam Tippleover, to sabotage her, Eliza finally achieves her ambition, to star in a Broadway Musical - Success at last for our heroine.

So if you think dying under the stars of a countryside happy and stress-free (from evil mechanic pieces of shit) is a horribly good idea, hands and feet up.

Useless Information of the Day...



Controlling the Internet

One of Singapore's greatest recent dilemmas has been how to liberalise without opening the information floodgates. This is a particularly curly problem when it comes to curbing the essentially anarchical nature of the Internet. On one hand, the government wants all citizens to be Internet wired or at least Internet savvy. But, on the other hand, it doesn't like all the nasties that go with it - like criticism of the government there to be read by all in the 'soc.culture.singapore' newsgroup, or the prolific amount of pornographic material that is available all over the Net.

Along with China and Vietnam, Singapore is trying to solve this problem through a series of laws and guidelines and through the formation of a regulatory board called the Singapore Broadcasting Authority (SBA). Responsible cybercitizens who notice antisocial activities on the Net in Singapore are required to notify the SBA. In other words, you have the makings of a voluntary Net police: 1984 has come a few years too late.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) ultimately bear the brunt of responsibility for keeping out the cybernasties by filtering the good and bad. They are also required by law to report any person or organisation found to be flaunting the rules - a chilling prospect when you consider that you are possibly being spied on the moment you log on to your favourite site. Who knows, the Net police might be knocking on your door just when you least expect it.

bloody fascists.

Days after days after days after days after days...

ultimate comfort food?

nutella straight out of the jar. <3

my mom has been sleeping a lot lately

she's getting old and each passing day I find myself worrying more about what used to be unnecessary, because it was like 2nd nature, letting her take care of what's worth of herself.

all that seems fine and dandy on the surface is only a pretense she puts on day after day to get us through it all... secrets she has laid and hidden well beneath are as ugly as that son of a bitch.

I am always telling her to file for separation if it gets too difficult, but I suppose I should have had put better thought into my words, for that sure isn't what the hurt would find soothing to hear, just like how it was not one bit comforting when you said it's okay for us to break up.

this overused facade should come through soon, it is about damn time anyway.

sometimes things just happen.
if it has to go, it has to go.

no more tears.



and her whole world comes tumbling down...

so I guess if we've talked and still can't come to terms,
then there wouldn't be much point carrying on would it.


I'm just sick of getting upset over matters like this,
it's bad for both head and body.


restrictions are tiring,
why don't we break them down before I give up trying.


restrictions are tiring,
why do you tie me down with them.


it's all about giving and taking,
what am I receiving for giving this much.


do they even count for anything,
those were the happy times we had.


the worst senarios play and replay,
I feel like I'm prepared to let all of it go.



could you at least try to understand.





like you said you would?

since it is visual entertainment day, here's some for you...



here's where i spend manymany hours of the week painting...


...and painting.


luckily, it's a space with a view. not much, but still...


just like my 2nd home. *coughcough*
