nitecaps #0050 / illo friday - your paradise... posted at 04:57 PM under snapshots of merman... Last week's IllustrationFriday challenge theme was "Your Paradise", which gave me way too much food for thought... What will my "Paradise" be like? What is the ideal, perfect world that I'll love to spend an eternity in? I have not decided yet, but I am sure it involved a lot of fresh air, delicious food, beautiful photo opportunities at every corner! Perhaps it's easier for my hamsters to decide what THEIR Paradise would be like... PARADISE
Nitecaps #0050 "Your Paradise" ~ Edric Hsu So, what's YOUR Paradise like? Incidentally, this post marked the 50th "Nitecaps" entry, which meant I'd been doing this for exactly 50 days since I started. *pats myself on back* I shall now channel more of this discipline and determination into getting my house beautifully renovated... And then I can invite you to MY PARADISE! [ Feeling... * thoughtful * ] |

photo friday - purity... posted at 03:16 PM under snapshots of merman... This week's PhotoFriday challenge has the theme of "Purity"... The first thing that came to mind is the colour "White"... The next thing is "Water", also a rather obvious symbol of purity... Or is it? PURITY

nitecaps #0049 - remedy for insomnia... posted at 05:00 AM under snapshots of merman... This post might seem an oxymoron, for I am about to introduce this Acupressure Point for Insomnia... at 4.44 AM no less... Oh well, it is still evening time in some other parts of the world... nevermind... So... here it goes (courtesy of Bryan at Omhealth)... Remedy for Insomnia Add 1 drop of Lavendula Vera E.O. and 1 drop of Grapefruit Pink E.O. to a sheet of tissue paper, inhale it deeply a few times, then using the anointed tissue paper, rub and press hard on the following Spirit Gate Point for 6 seconds, then release and repeat for 2 minutes...
Nitecaps #0049 Anyway, I am going to try this out on myself now, and if you don't see any more posts after this until, say, lunch time (Singapore time), then it worked... Goodnight, World... [ Feeling... * awake * ] |

nitecaps #0047 - marriage... posted at 04:42 AM under snapshots of merman... Today, I attended the wedding dinner of Jenice (Qiaozhen) and her Burmese husband Sunny at The Legends... I'd met Jenice some years ago when I was pretty active in the local Chinese theatre scene, and had worked with her in shows like "绿野仙踪", "风继续吹", "再别康桥" and "开心鬼"... Back then, she was often cast as the Power Lady, the Evil Witch, the Diva etc. And the nickname she had given herself was "Piggypui", which was an indication of her size and self-image at that time... And now, for the love of her life, she'd worked hard and lost her excess baggage to look perfect for the role of her lifetime: the Beautiful Bride... If you're reading this, Jenice, know that you'd come a long way and I am very happy for you and very proud of you!!! And please send me your beautiful wedding photos so I can post here!!!
Nitecaps #0047 Also, the wedding dinner itself was a reunion of some of my favourite local actors and theatre folks, most of them from the Singapore I-Lien Drama Society (新加坡艺联剧团) as well as Native's Art Society (本土一派)... I also made several more friends from the local Chinese acting circle, some of whom are still pretty active on TV and in commercials... Really happy to see all them again, and if I would ever want to return to the theatre scene again, it would be to work with these wonderful folks again!

nitecaps #0046 - trexi eeni & bearbrick mini... posted at 03:34 AM under snapshots of merman... I've been thinking about creating my own series of collectible toys for quite some time already, something like the popular Trexi and Bearbrick toys... But for that to happen successfully, I'll need to create enough fun characters. I only have my little Eeni and Mini... They'll do, for now...
Nitecaps #0046 For those unfamiliar with collectible toys, the one on the left is based on the Trexi design, and the one of the right is a version of the Bearbrick... During my Hong Kong trip in January this year, I had already checked out the International Toys and Games Exhibition there, and found several interested parties on my artwork... Hopefully something good will come out of this... [ Feeling... * creative * ] |

bryan & my artwork featured on i-weekly... posted at 02:43 PM under snapshots of merman... Woohoo! My illustrations are getting published! All thanks to Bryan, whose popular better Omhealth services have recently been translated from radio segments on LOVE 97.2 FM into a series of articles for the current and revamped "i-weekly" magazine... From today, the above-mentioned magazine, together with "8 Days" magazine, both takes on a new compact-sized format, which makes it more handy and also reduced excess paper in an environmentally-friendly move... My part in Omhealth for the past decade has been to assist Bryan in his workshops. I am also his official photographer... Additionally, I had been drawing illustrations for Bryan's recently created blog (http://bryanomhealth.blogspot.com/) so his listeners and readers could better visualise his health tips and other messages... Anyway, here is his first article on "i-weekly", featuring my illustration and a portrait shot of Bryan that I took...

nitecaps #0045 - talent shows... posted at 12:05 AM under snapshots of merman... Back in my school days, I had joined and won many singing contests, and it was my greatest dream to perform in front of a massive audience and sing my love to everyone... Then I woke up... But there are still many more folks out there who share that same passion that I had before, and it is no wonder that there are more and more reality TV shows and talent schools out there milking this huge market... Just take a look at the queues at the auditions for all these events...
Nitecaps #0045 I still love to sing and perform, but on a more personal, intimate level... KTV anyone? [ Feeling... * numb * ] |
