On Saturday Joe & I were invited once again by Mervyn and Yuet Sum this time to be mesmerised by the very delightful Stephen Rahman Hughes. I did not know he could sing so beautifully. No, I did not see that in PGL - unfortunately. And the 80 piece orchestra certainly helped make the evening truly entertaining as the hall rang with Broadway Showstoppers. But that's not all - like that time with LAT, again I got Stephen's autograph, alongside hundreds of others. And another added pleasure - his looks - wow. That night was his mother - Kamariah's birthday so he had a little warm gimmick - took out his camera and got the audience to wish Kamariah a very happy birthday. What a loving son. Yes, one more thing - his shimmering pink shoes. A true entertainer - didn't mind sending him up.

Meantime I'm praying I'll get some money to stage MAHIM JUNCTION! GOD, please make it happen.

AND the latest with ADAM the musical - I have learnt both my songs - 'OUT' and 'TOO SOON' - both very lovely!

UPDATE

Am very attracted to this poster for this installment of Shakespeare on Film, created by Paul Loosley that I want it on my blog permanantly. It's art itself and the Bard will approve. Last Sunday I met a gentleman and we exchanged a few words, as usual he had praise for what we do and had praise for Paul's knowledge on films. Unfortunately, although free, the houses are small - and I'm not wrong in saying there are thousands of film buffs and students out there who will benefit so much from Paul's screenings. Where are you? Paul explains the film before it starts and discusses at the end. EDUCATIONAL and satisfying!!

Today is a very good day indeed. Joe & I got news Sesha and Doppo are getting married soon and both their parents have been told. They looked visibly happy when they were telling Joe & I. When Sesha said Doppo & I have something to tell you, and I saw a little tear in her eye, I thought, don't tell me - they have quarrelled and he's going back... that's not the only thought running in my head. We went up the stairs without a word - I didn't even ask her anything, afraid what the answer might be - we sat around Joe's little table in Joe's room and they said to each other - you tell - so the news came out! And we felt Blessed indeed that this relationship which sprung from SYBIL in 2008 has come to fruition! We are of course looking forward to the wedding. Now I know why they both went to the Buddist temple on Thaipusam day!

Congrats Sesha & Doppo. May you love each other to eternity!! :):)
