Merry Christmas everyone :)



This year's card. Brought to you by my mother's collection of Santas (you can see a very, VERY small sampling of her grand collection here), and Millions of Cats - Wanda Gág in 1928 (Great children's book, one of my favs)

Anyone new to my list, this is a tradition I've been doing for a few years now. I draw up a card, mail out a handful of them to family and friends.

Yes to redying your hair black, no to the bangs.

Jane Zhang sung her new song “I believe” live for the first time yesterday. “I believe” is her first album song to be penned by her (lyrics and maybe music?). Jane writes about her experiences since being an artist and how “I believe” came about. This song is definitely a step up from her previous non-themesong music, and I hope it’ll be representative of her album.

Once I played an unimportant role…. Suddenly, one day, everyone around me looked at me, and that made me scared… So I was always hiding. Sometimes, when there are too many eyes starring at me, to the point where I can’t see past beyond them, I would close my eyes. Too foreign a place, too many foreign faces, too many foreign paths.

Translation of her blog post on "I believe" below the cut. ( Read more... )

Because I cannot leave well enough alone, I am tinkering with a new layout for my personal site. It is currently more of a portfolio site, and will need to have the contents edited down a bit.

Is there any way to tilt text or divs, other than to do image replacements?

I have seen JavaScript text tilts - but they only seem to tilt the baseline.

Any thoughts or advice?

Just a few days ago, Magic 1+1 appeared on an episode of Kang Xi Lai Le. Curious like everyone, host Cai Kang Yong asked what does “Magic 1+1” mean, and Xiao S immediately answered without thinking, “3!” Guan Da confirmed that 1+1 does equal to 3 in the world of magic. Although the joke was lame, Guan Da definitely surprised everyone with his magic tricks.

Magic 1+1 performed their latest single, “Eyes Wide Open.” They lipsynced, but filled the 50 seconds performance with a load of magic tricks. Xiao S asked in the end, “What happens if you guys have to perform the entire song? Wouldn’t that make you very busy?” General manager, Sun De Rong, replied, “Yes, magic would be performed throughout the entire song. They even have magic tricks where they make a girl disappear! It’s actually quite expensive to have them perform the song all the way through because we would have to carry / deliver all the props to the performing site.”

Although the highly anticipated movie ‘Monga’ (艋舺) won't hit theaters until next February, its lead actors Mark Zhao and Ethan Ruan are already doing everything they can to get the word out.....that even includes kissing each other on TV! The two stars, along with director Niu Cheng-Ze (鈕承澤) and co-star Rhydian Vaughan (from the movie ‘Winds of September'), visited “Kang Xi Lai Le” to promote the upcoming movie.
