Songs of the Sea.


Siloso Beach unveiled the $30M pyrotechnics and psychedelic lasers show on 26 Mar 2007. Songs of the Sea is the latest Sentosa tourist attraction which I wanna catch. I had a very similar idea last year inspired from a documentary about another great musical on the waters in China...

The idea: Singapore's very own musical on water, The Singapore Story on the River!
Venue: Singapore River.
When: Weekly evenings.
The content: A musical on the water that tells the story the founding of Singapore to modern day Singapore, aka what you see at NDP every year. It will be about the culture of Singapore. Performers will be on bumboats, sampans. It will feature traditional ethnic songs to modern day local bands.
Benefit: A real big attraction for tourists to Singapore (at least better than some gigantic big wheel...) and job opportunities for many people (from the cast, to boatmen, to the engineers).
The inspiration: <<印象刘三姐>> Impression Sanjie Liu, a musical in China with the beautiful 四川(Si Chuan) mountains and rivers as backdrop.

Anyone interested to invest and make my idea a reality? I will need some great talents to choreograph the dance and compose the songs too. And somebody to come up with the marketing plan, to do the audition etc. heh.

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

I Will Be Back With More Time.

It is more than two years since I last blogged! Not that nothing interesting happened. In fact, plenty happened! Shifted house, shifted office, boys grew, had Hand Foot Mouth Disease (ouch!)! Just to name a few. There were gains and losses. Life's ups and downs. Of me, and those around me. I haven't been doing much deep thinking and thus less writing. Not enough time? That is probably an excuse. But it is true that I have not slept well for quite awhile. It is hard to explain the stress from work, where nothing goes smooth, and every step forward is a hurdle. Technology also had made it simple and addictive for us to mindlessly share. Share our thoughts in bits and pieces. Forming persona of ourselves to acquaintances and friends I hardly meet anymore. I remember experimenting with Tumbler, finding ways to post once, publish everywhere. It didn't quite work out. Even when technology made it is so easy, I have not been diligently editing and uploading photos of my darlin
