Life’s a contradictory constant

Heh-llo. Doing this right now - its a Thespis production "Walking Into Doors" about domestic abuse (as you can see on the poster, bruises added for special effect) The show is this Friday and Saturday and is technically sold out - but of course, we are always doing what we can to sell more tickets. Profits go to AWARE and hopefully will raise awareness about this problem (sorry ah guys, the script is from awhile ago so dont have abused husbands. Pardon pardon) COME WATCH AND DONATE TO A GOOD CAUSE!

After watching "Juno", Jason Reitman now ranks up there with my favourites Guillermo Del Toro, Wes Anderson and Michel Gondry. Sweet. He is the same guy who did tongue-in-cheek "Thank You For Not Smoking" with indie favourite Aaron Ackhart…and now, Ellen Page. Who seriously turned in a great performance - subtle, grounded and very much alive. And it was a funny flick; humor entirely rooted in real situations and its interesting mix of characters. Great scriptwriting *worships* And everything was neccessary - not too much overdecoration and no flourishing needed. Michael Cera is just doing his thang, Jennifer Garner was weirdly different from her "alias" (pun intended) and all in all it was a damm enjoyable performance. SWEET! Sorry for the streams of consciousness here. *aheam*

On another note: REUNION REUNION!! INDIAN INDIAN!! SOON SOON!!

Me trying to figure a way out to Yangmingshan. Trust me, taking bus No.9 to a hill via a scenic, winding route is…*vomit*

This is me AFTER getting to Yangmingshan and discovering that (a) we were not prepared to go hiking at all (b) we had to turn back or die in the wilderness at 1000m above sealevel.

Stylo boh?! This was taken at Jiu Fen - where "City Of Sadness" was filmed. Can totally see why He Hsiao Sien totally fell in love with it. F**king cold, but absolutely beautiful.

Trying to take pictures of the ceiling (dont ask me why)of the oldest teahouse in Jiu Fen…the oolong tea biscuits are damm nice. And being the "cultural" people we are, drank tea that was about 30 Sing dollars. Woot.

Me reviewing the pictures I took (for the "artsy" photo montages I’m going to be putting together) after leaving SPOT Taipei. Its a film-lovers haven…its got films of all sorts and cool books, in addition to a nice little restaurant and theatre.

Freezing cold it was on the night of the "Quah Nian" for the Taipei dwellers. It was crazy that night, about ten of thousands filling the Taipei City Hall area just to celebrate the New Year.

The fireworks display bursting at the seams of the Taipei 101. Nice way to celebrate me birthday….

PHOTO MONTAGES OF TAIWAN UP NEXT!
