Kitchen (You’ve Never Had It So Good)



synopsis taken from esplanade website:
It's 1965 and everything is just about to happen. Pop, subculture, superstars, feminism, drugs, bright lights, and sex are about to rock the world like never before. Inspired by Andy Warhol's 1965 film Kitchen, Gob Squad's "live film", Kitchen (You've Never Had it So Good) takes you on a trip back to the underground cinemas of New York City, back to where it all began.
Gob Squad reconstructs Kitchen and other Warhol films Eat, Sleep and Screen Test. How can they get it just right? How do they know if they're going wrong? How did people dance in 1965? What did they talk about? Had feminism happened? Or was it yet to begin? The performers talk about sex, drugs and wild parties, attempt to snort lines of coffee, eat layer cake and dance. Halfway through the performance, the lines between audience and performers slowly disappear as selected audience members replace the actors one by one.

For The Mommies of Boys

Friends who have baby boys sometimes tell me how lucky I am to be able to play dress-up on my girls (although I don't deliberately do that for the sake of playing dress-up cos realistically, it'd be expensive). But I sometimes have a mental picture of what my sons would wear if I were to have boys.

These would be he images that'll inspire me. They'll wear their hair floppy with chuck taylors and tops that are a tad size smaller too snug.



Mommies, you're so lucky to have boys.

Pumpkin's 1st Trip

Spent the long weekend tripping to Awana Kijal Terengganu with the camera's battery charging at home. The hotel was okay, beach was pretty but not safe for swim and the kids were at their best. Not a single whimper throughout the 8hr long bus ride except for Pumpkin's regular indication for milk.




The tantrum started as soon as we got to our doorstep last night. Munches refused to enter, wailing non-stop "Want to go to our room!". She was referring to the hotel room at Awana. Took a while to pacify her so I thought that was a good excuse to plan something for later weeks of June.

PR-ing at Cousin's Wedding

Matriarch's side of the family is very small thus we can only rely on each other for help. I don't exactly know what I was busy with but it seems I didn't even manage to take a photo with bride and groom. Absurd, right?!

Only took my camera out at the end of the day after pengantin left.



(edited: Now I recall doing the kepo PR-ing here and there cos half of the guests are Matriarch's friends.
