Thank you Composers and Authors Society of Singapore (COMPASS)​ for the delightful gathering of musicians and catching up over the annual awards dinner on Sunday, September 25th 2016. Congrats to the winners! Here are some photos taken on my nice camera with mostly the usual suspects: Daniel​, Ez​, May​, Calvin​, Jordan, Pepita​, Clinton​, Chee Wei​, Yunos​, Chee Tian​, Marcus​, Stephen​, Isa, Arnold, Lawrence and... my truly beloved Chicken Skin!

Good morning! TGIF. ? Would you like to join us for the SAMH charity dinner tonight? Even if you can't, I would urge you to visit the website to learn more about Singapore Association for Mental Health and feel free to make a donation if you wish. Thank you and have a beautiful Friday! ? http://www.samhealth.org.sg/samh-charity-dinner-2016/

Mental health and feelings of inadequacy should not be ignored. Sometimes we may not always understand it ourselves but taking an interest is a good first step.

Missing Europe. But sometimes even in busy Singapore, we can find our little pockets of calm.

Went through my old stuff. Look what I found! ? My photo in Juice for Heineken in 2004, ? An article I kept about Singapore theatre in August 2006, ? A (punny and largely original) word puzzle I spent hours creating with Microsoft Excel for my students after exams while I was relief teaching in 2000, ? And directions to the film set of Dexter from my LA days in 2007.

There are a lot more crazy things unearthed. I'll share more later on. My room feels like a museum. ?

Some filmmakers have pet projects. Some have projects for pets!

Did you know?

"The phrase originates with the comic strip Keeping Up with the Joneses, created by Arthur R. "Pop" Momand in 1913. The strip ran until 1940 in The New York World and various other newspapers. The strip depicts the social climbing McGinis family, who struggle to "keep up" with their neighbors, the Joneses of the title. The Joneses were unseen characters throughout the strip's run, often spoken of but never shown."

Ok, so I binged watched Stranger Things.

Aww! So amused, grateful and touched by the little ones... As a drama practitioner, I sometimes teach as well. September here always opens with a celebration of teachers everywhere. We are all teachers and students in life. So I hope you all had a nice day on September 1st!

I may have missed out on National Day in Singapore this year, but I did not (allow my European friends to) miss out on chicken curry. Yes, I actually cooked this in Germany and it was.... edible. ?
