The same team that brings you "Chestnuts" every year serves up a comedy of 'horrors!" 15% discount till 15th July. Amusing for adults but safe for kids 8 years and above!




H is for Hantu is STAGES' latest offering for the whole family. Jonathan Lim (Chestnuts, Own Time Own Target), Bang Wenfu (Chestnuts, It's My Life, If There Are Seasons), Frankie Malachi (Little Shop of Horrors), and Eucien Chia (Shanghai Blues) put together a stunning pantomime full of music, madness and puppetry that'll puts the SUPER back into supernatural.


Singapore's last existing kampung is about to be wiped out to make way for development, but not all the residents are willing to give up without a fight! One feisty teenage boy in particular – Sazali – believes that the kampung life is the perfect life – close to neighbors, close to nature, and most importantly, close to SUPERnature. Why? Because Sazali can see all the hantu that live around the kampung! And more than that, they are his friends!

Together, Sazali and his hantu sidekicks - the sultry diva Pontianak and the light-headed but very gutsy Hantu Penanggalan - hatch a plan to convince the government to spare their kampung, but instead find themselves caught up in a chilling haunting that scares even them!

This is the music video for the film that Runecircle posted up.
Really amazing film. Simple and has a lot of heart. I find the best gay films aren't gay films at all. I think the east needs to take a clue from the west - life can be hard but serious gay films don't always have to be bleak and emo. And they don't always have to obssess about being gay! We need ones with more positive energy and by positive energy, i don't mean convenient happy ever afters. This is the type of film that helps me answer the question "what the hell am i doing with my life?" Enjoy it while it stays on youtube! :)

And as a bonus, The action figures you'll never see made... but wish you owned!

JUXIANG'S GUIDE TO SIGN LANGUAGE:

A good nyonya is never defeated by her shortcomings. Be inspired by Juxiang, who is deaf and dumb, yet able to read lips faster than a newscaster reads a teleprompter; and who can express entire sentences of lofty sentiment in one-and-a-half gestures. Here are some handy signs you can learn which a little nyonya might find useful in daily life.

I've never been big on beyonce, but I'm so loving this song now hehe
There's a duet version with R. Kelly that's beautiful too.

I swear, I'm absolutely not trying to blow my own trumpet here cuz this guy is like 5000% better-looking than me (and if you know me enough, you know i don't EVER call myself good-looking!) but my artist eye keeps seeing a frightening resemblance in the eyes and mouth... :p lol

Naaaaahhh... I think it's just me heh. Good voice dang...

No his name is not Ryan Tedder, Ryan is the original singer/writer of the song. You know him better as the leader singer of the band One Republic, who did "Apologize".

Ah should be safe to post this now...

2 and a half weeks of work - considerably faster than my last Peranakan Ball piece! (about a month) and this one has more details too! This rates on my top ten list of "Gayest Illustrations I Have Ever Done" :p

A late late post.

This movie has been so long in the works that it was supposed to follow the high of Tim Burton's Batman. Delayed by several problems, the window for releasing the film closed and the project was just about left for dead. How appropriate then that it will now follow the success of the next generation of Batman films.
( Another superhero movie??? )

I swear, i regret the day i started FACEBOOK. Especially since i never use it. My curiousity piqued by too many people who started it, i tried it out, created a profile but quickly recognized it for the evil it is - a fraggin' waste of my time and resources, and one more online vehicle for misunderstandings.

MEDIACORP FINED FOR AIRING SHOW FEATURING GAY COUPLE

THE Media Development Authority (MDA) on Thursday fined MediaCorp TV Channel 5 S$15,000 for airing a show that depicted a gay couple and their baby in a way that 'promotes a gay lifestyle', MDA said in a statement on its website.

The station aired an episode of a home and decor series called Find and Design that featured a gay couple wanting to transform their game room into a new nursery for their adopted baby.

MDA said the episode contained scenes of the gay couple with their baby and the presenter's congratulations and acknowledgment of them as a family unit 'in a way which normalises their gay lifestyle and unconventional family setup'.

The episode was in breach of rules on free-to-air television programming, which disallows content that promotes, justifies or glamourises gay lifestyles, the statement said.

Earlier this month, MDA fined StarHub Cable Vision S$10,000, for airing a commercial that showed two lesbians kissing. -- AP
