Lambada, Romanian style

For those whom I haven't bugged with shameless publicity for my show, here's what I've been busy with: Mad Forest (written by Caryl Churchill) by young & W!LD. Details are below (click on the pictures if they're too small to read).


The show runs from 12 - 16 December 2007. Tickets are only $16 and $12 - cheap and good! You won't find quality theatre at this price anywhere else. I know the venue seems quite far for some of you, but it's easily accessible - it's near and direct from the SLE if you're driving, and not far from the MRT. Another plus point is you can have supper at Johore after the show...

Discount! 10% off if you buy tickets through me or any of the cast, and no $1 ticketing fee. Buy early too, as there are only 80 seats per show and you may not get the timing of your choice.

Check out our production blog at http://madforest2007.blogspot.com for opinions, updates and embarrassing photos.

Top reasons to watch Mad Forest:

1) Singaporeans speaking in Romanian accents.
2) Provocative questions on freedom and individuality to prod your mind.
3) 11 young (and young-ish) people doing the lambada. One with a crutch.
4) Ongoing relevance for anyone and everyone, even though it was written 16 years ago and set in a vastly different country.
5) Support young, underrated talent in the arts scene.

Signboard fun

Was at Serangoon Road, Boon Keng side. Realised that the neighbourhood had probably changed little since the 80s, and we saw some shop signs that were REALLY 80s-looking. And spotted some other rather note-worthy ones too.

This one wins the prize for Most Misinformed Chinese-English Translation.

No commentary needed.

Heehee...we bet you do.

Somehow that sounds vaguely disturbing.

And on a completely random note, another cute pic of the nephew and niece - the kids sharing a swingin' good time. It's adorable how much they enjoy playing together.

Trick or treatin'

Some people apparently had more fun on Halloween than I did, like the Ginsburg kids. My sis typically has more fun with their outfits than they do too.

Tell me you're not just passing out from cute overload.

Just as we thought Sean had a big head, he tops it off with Scooby Doo.

I just couldn't resist - check out Caitlyn's lashes! Those are major flutterers. Eat your heart out, girls.
