of whimsies


Tucked in a corner on Fitzroy
Off the beaten track
Where our scarlet shophouse resides
Nestled amongst the creative hub of
Eclectic eateries
Bustling boutiques
Avant-garde artisans
Humble themselves in
Our little red dot
A centrepiece
In this colourful Kildanian tapestry

Hand stictched books
Adorn the off-white walls
In house murals of friends
Stand six feet tall
The scent of fresh java permeates this abode
An ode - to the love in living poured each day
Endless indie streaming on open mic nights

Our red emblem
Oh, how we love the irony

no excuses timeout


I'm sorry.
For my actions, behaviour, and words.
There is no excuse.
If i did hurt you.
All the many times.
I accept and retreat with humble pie.
I'm sorry.

the crispy fried pepper

watched Cats the musical yesterday and i admit was a tad apprehensive about seeing a musical *actually the Cats look scary in pictures*, plus was feeling nauseous prior. But it was good! Totally entertaining, music sets back to back, funky costumes and great seats. Throughout the show the actors propped themselves on the foyer stalls' barricade right smack in front of our face. talk about interactive. i was actually smiling and laughing throughout. At one point I actually felt like owning a cat!

Couple of tots entered my mind:

the actors were soooo in character, as nimble and agile as the feline species themselves. every single gesture, the way they glided, nua-ed and lazed around on stage, on people *haha* totally mirrored real cats. Which got me thinking, were these actors cat-loving owners as well? How long they must have spent pouring over every single detail, gestures and mannerisms of cats? Wah how ah method acting like that? What species of cat they had to study diligently to mimic their characteristics? Whether the actors were really cat lovers?

the amazing vocal prowess and range of the thespians!! was shaking my head when the high notes were reached and the perfectly harmonised singing of everyone! how tough is that, singing in tune yourself already susah, wah lau eh more than 20 ppl is like wow.
Which again led my mind to think, no wonder the dolphin-octaved Adam Lambert from American Idol is mind-blowingly talented as he is! He's kinda hot *haha in a gay/andro way*, entertaining, engaging and not to mention his ball-busting vocal range that would put Tina Turner to shame. Liddat not fair mah.

and no i'm not thinking too much *i hope*. these imagined conversations pop into my head.
