design for living


Design for Living is a comedy play written by British playwright in 1932. This play is translated into Chinese - 華麗上班族之生活與生存, and directed by Hong Kong writer/producer, Edward Lam, and will premiere in Beijing this December.

I really wish that I get to see this play because Sylvia Chang and Joseph Cheng are the main characters. Both Sylvia and Joe are from Taiwan. Sylvia is so talented. She started off as an actress at a young age, and later wrote and directed her own films in Hong Kong and Taiwan. She was also in an full Asian American cast comedy film couple years ago - American Fusion. She was also one of the receipients of Best Actress of the Golden Horse Award in Taiwan.

I recently watched many Taiwanese soap operas, and Joe is one of my favorite actors because he is good looking (hehe), funny, and he is also growing to be a more mature actor.

It would be great to watch this production that is a collaboration of talents from Hong Kong and Taiwan in mainland China. Don't miss out if you get the chance!

im in my bubble

music has been absent in my life for awhile, and now it has come back! it's been such a long time that i'd listen to every song in an album and over and over again. i miss that! may be i can pick up singing in the shower again. i stopped doing that ever since i live in the dorms... haha.

i realize that i've been living in another bubble -- watching taiwanese drama. these soap operas are mostly comedy, and chick flicks, but they are totally stress relievers!
