I heard a ruckus outside. A woman yelling, something like anger. I can't make out the words at first, but when I stepped outside the words became clear when I ran into the scene by accident. "How do you complete this sentence?". The woman asks her puzzled child. She is a reflection of her mother, lost in her mother's heated questioning, like a deer caught in headlights. "If you are going to play outside, do you say 'I play outside' or. 'You play outside?'" The mother is...Read more
I have received many birthday wishes for peeps on alivenotdead over the past week or so. Just want to say thank you for all the warm wishes!
I have been very busy of late. Just finished a re-run of The Pussycat Theater with Crystal Kwok and Marsha Yuan. I got to reprise my role as the "Penis," which I have to say is lot of fun to play, no pun intended! I should get some photos from that soon and will post them shortly!
Was also the MC for the Fresh Wave Film Festival ...Read more
Woke up this morning and received a message from a friend that got me to think about the effect time has on passion. Passion is like a fire, a raging urge to engulf, to consume, to give, to sacrifice, to rise above the mundane and the routine, to be stronger and brilliant for the sake of someone, something, or some cause. Passion is like the spark of a match, intense and agitated, a friction that can turn phosphorus and wood into a burning flame. The question that struck me this morning is, how do y...Read more

<...Read moreI didn't realize until today how long it has been since I have written a blog on AnD. So many things have happened in the last few months and I have been very focused on some work behind-the-scenes at AnD and also my own artist work. I haven't felt very expressive lately, but will try to be more active with my blog in the coming weeks.
For the last 6 weeks or so, I have been rehearsing for a play. Some of you may have seen the events listing for it. The play is called The Golden Cangue, adapted by Wang An Yi fr...Read more
She tries to act out the words. With every movement, every word, we follow the movement of the woman. The guests guessing her intentions. She frustrates at the slow understanding. He looks on and see all sides, the sides she is yearning to show. He is the only one that see her intentions. He responds with a smirk, a sly hint of the smile that could set her free. She coyly rescinds from her thrown to lower ground where the fight can take place level. Silence and the wind intertwine as he and she survey the grounds before b...Read more
I meant to write about this much sooner, but as usual, the whirlwind that is my schedule has caused me to write this post so late. I was invited by the Hong Kong Berkeley Club to be the MC for this year's Berkeley Alumni Charity Ball. Believe it or not, there are many Berkeley alumni living and working in Hong Kong. This is the 1st year I have been involved with the HK Berkeley Club and it's really good to know that there are so many Bears out here in H.K.

I was invited to City U to take part in a discussion forum regarding privacy rights and media last Friday. The discussion went pretty well and we even did a role-playing exercise where the students formed groups and acted out situations where media invades the privacy of public figures. That was pretty interesting . . . !!!
Many topics were raised and the point of these discussions is not to tell or dictate to students what they should beli...Read more
My friend: Michael Chan
I was going to talk about the Trailwalker event Michael was a part of in my blog following my past entry. But by the time I got to it, the Trailwalker event has past and I didn't get to finish this blog series in time.
Sorry Michael! Will make it up to you at some point. Now I owe you one!
