This is a not-so-famous song written by Michael Jackson...

It's sung by his nephews and himself on backing vocals.

Other talented members of the Jackson family...who have not tasted the same success as him...

I have started a new blog.

http://seaninsydney.livejournal.com

As you have guessed,it is for my chronicles of my Sydney stay as a Masters Student in Film Studies at the University of Sydney.

I have used up all my free space on this blog and hence, the move, so I have decided to use that one, exclusively for my Sydney stay issue.

So, add me friends and readers...(however few there are)

This is amazing!

This song is my latest obsession...I play it on loop!



Today's the Macy's Day parade.
The night of the living dead is on it's way...
with a credit report for duty call.
It's a lifetime guarantee.
Stuffed in a coffin 10% more free.
Red light special at the mausoleum.

Give me something that I need.
Satisfaction guaranteed to you.
What's the consolation prize?
Economy sized dreams of hope.

When I was a kid, I thought...
I wanted all the things that I haven't got.
Oh, but I learned the hardest way.
Then I realized what it took...
to tell the difference between thieves and crooks.
A lesson learned for me and you.

Give me something that I need.
Satisfaction guaranteed...

'Cause I'm thinkin about a brand new hope.
The one I've never known.
'Cause now I know it's all that I wanted.

What's the consolation prize?
Economy sized dreams of hope.
Give me something that I need.
Satisfaction guaranteed.

'Cause I'm thinkin' about a brand new hope.
The one I've never known.
And where it goes...

And I'm thinkin' about the only road.
The one I've never known.
And where it goes...

And I'm thinkin' about a brand new hope.
The one I've never known.
'Cause now I know it's all that I wanted.

Wow! Check out Yasmin Ahmad's latest advert for MCYS...BRAVO! KUDOS yet again to Yasmin Ahmad. simple commercial, a thousand meaning..impactful. Oh boy! I think another viewer's choice award is in the works...just give it to her already!

Beautifully captured while subtly sending the message that interracial marriage is going along well and fine, and a granted thing in Singapore.




But yes, it occured to me that I love my wife for her imperfections as well...whatever they are, however many there are...

I have just watched this (though it's years old)..this is the BEST and most rousing TV show opening theme sequence I have ever watched!

The editor missed something...

So I got into the University of Sydney, Masters in Film Studies programme.

I'm set to go in July this year...or next March...depending on what happenes to the shows I'm conceptualizing/selling now, in which case, it'd be in March.

I'm looking forward to Sydney...

I need to get away from Singapore for a while...and if things go positively in Sydney not just Uni-wise...but professionally...who knows...

Singapore TV isn't that great anyway.

I am officially feeling the effects of the recession personally now...

JIN is still alive!!!!

This is a perfect example of great editing.

This is a beautiful scene...and stand-out!

Sesame Street teaches about death...



It's so sad...the silence and all..you can actually hear a pin drop. Rarely do we get such moments on TV.

Poor Big Bird!



Big Bird and Snuffy's comments are quite amusing..

Haha..

"Wish I had a song!..."
"Well, BIG BIRD can share ELMO's song!"
"How?"
"Well just sing BIG BIRD instead of ELMO!"

OH! How exciting.

These are two films I'd surely want to watch. In fact, these are two productions which I may actually be crazy enough to fly straight to New York City or London, just to watch them on Broadway/West End.

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE PLEASE! Make the films...(and also let me go to New York City or London)

PS: Andy in San Francisco...WICKED is playing in 2009! I'm so jealous of you now!

"Marc Platt Productions currently has several projects of interest to theatre plans in the works, including a film version of the international hit Wicked, a remake of the 1973 Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice film "Jesus Christ Superstar" and a new motion picture about the life of the late composer George Gershwin.

Universal Pictures production president Donna Langley told the industry paper, "Our goal now is absolutely to make the Wicked film, but much like Judy Craymer wouldn't give up screen rights to Mamma Mia! until the stage show had reached its pinnacle, Marc and Stephen Schwartz are very mindful of the right timing. But we're dying to do it."

Platt told Variety that he and Wicked co-producer David Stone are currently in "early movie talks" with the studio. Winnie Holzman, who penned the Tony-nominated book for Wicked, will write the film's screenplay. No casting has been mentioned.

Platt is also currently in discussions with several filmmakers for a remake of "Jesus Christ Superstar," the film based on the Lloyd Webber-Rice musical of the same name. Norman Jewison directed the original 1973 rock opera film."

Gavroche:
Ten little bullets in my hand
ten little snipers neat and clean--
one for the king of this great land
two for the aristocracy
three for the bishops and the clergymen
four for the prefects of police--

give me a chance, I'll take the lot of them--
ten little chances to be free
Close your eyes, I'll say when, count to ten.

I totally love this song.

Have never gotten sick of it. Both Michael Ball and Lea Salonga are amazing.



Everytime I have no better song to hear...I play this.

It's on LOOP on my IPOD Shuffle.

Ok..Merry Christmas everyone!

Just got back from Hong Kong with Yiling and we went to Disneyland there!

I love Disneyland...as much as people cannot believe how much I love Disney and how come I can get goosebumps watching Disney cartoons and watching the stage shows and parades in Disneyland can bring tears to my eyes.

Let me put it simply, with songs like this...



How can anyone not like it?

Looking at this makes me realise how MUCH I miss working in theatre and doing stage work.
