酸 甜 苦 辣 has proved to be a recurring theme that has surfaced twice in a span of five days. First as a rite of passage at a Singaporean gate-crashing wedding ceremony. This crazy local/Chinese tradition typically involves the groom and his groomsmen to be put through a series of embarrassing and hilarious tests to prove their sincerity for the bride. (It’s also the only time where a bunch of sober men can get away with stripping, dancing, kissing and singing like madmen without offending their in-laws). So where does 酸 甜 苦 辣 fit into all these celebrations? Ahh… being Singaporean… we love our food. So where our usual gastronomical pleasure lies, we can also use our love of food to cause pain. Enter the deadly concoction of 酸 甜 苦 辣!
酸 | Vinegar
甜| Honey with sugar
苦| Uncooked bitter gourd
辣| Garlic chilli sauce with chilli padi
The madness of this concoction has a deeper meaning of course. It is meant to symbolize the taste of Life. Where there is sweetness (甜), there might be a bitter (苦) aftertaste. Likewise, what could begin as bitterness (甜), could end up in sweetness (甜). Where there is soured relationships (酸), let spicy (辣) excitement revive your soul.
Interestingly, the poignancy of 酸 甜 苦 辣 surfaced again when we organized a special hair-shaving night for one of the sweetest poi-bois in town – enter Recruit Clayton Chwee. The about-to-be enlisted young soul braved the Mad Barbers of Haji Lane, as we went wild shaving off his signature shoulder length hair. We honestly couldn’t help ourselves! But we just had to play with his hair! Check out some of the amazing looks that we created that night!

Long live 酸 甜 苦 辣 rituals! I’m pretty sure I’ll see it quite a few more times in this lifetime. I wonder if anyone has got really bizarre stories to share? Please feel free to comment! I’d love to hear them!
Unfortunately… I chose McDonalds today! I just inhaled half a Double Filet O’ Fish burger with wasabi fries for lunch. And now… I’m feeling kinda slow and greasy all over… yuck… Brrr… should have listened to my inner voice and stuck to the healthy eating. Doh! Meanwhile… checkout Mrawz – I’m kinda likin’ it.
Love this video by Jason Mraz about Yoga on the move! Hahahahhaa! Laughed till I ached! I especially love the heavy metal Yoga music and the way that he lusciously pronounces the word… ‘Yooogaahhh’! Bwahhahhahhaha!
Oohh… you know how there are some people we are just way too anal retentive about their Yoga practice? Well… I love how some of us can (and should) laugh about Yoga. If you fail to see the funny side of Yoga… ooohhh… beware… you just might be turning into one of those Yoga Nazis! (cues hitch-cock murder music)
It’s my favorite season in Singapore! Durian Season! Yummy yum yum! Unfortunately, my dear poifriends don’t seem to agree. Whoops…
This is my dearest German friend Karsten, who was so sweet to remake his tutorial on Spiral Wraps in English because I begged him to. And the results are bloody hilarious! He says: I’ll do it again! I promise, but i thought that might be a good example of “how not to do it”. You can also check out his blog CaPoiEira too!
A sexy comedy about
a boy, a girl, three presents,
and the Joys of Giving.
Please sit back and enjoy the film.
The Victory Dance – As performed by a random Asian chick, an Indian fella and an Angmoh dude… (ok…ok… the dance honestly belongs to Florian). This little clip was shot at the end of a long shoot for my next short film. We wanted to express our joy of “Its a Wrap!”. We’re thinking of making this the victory dance you do at the end of every triathlon or every finishing line you cross! Muahahah! Now that would be a sight! whoohoo!
this made me laugh. i know its not everyone’s cuppa tea – but i loved it!
Found it on Terence’s blog, and it made me laugh so hard! AWESOME!
THIS is the reason why I’m always giggling like a friggin’ idiot on the train ride to work every morning! ok… giggling is an understatement… its more like laughing my head off! Such is the perfect way to start your day! Yay for Scott Mills’ radio show, available for download for your ipod/MP3 player. Kudos for Angela Gray aka Blur Sotong for mentioning him on her blog! Thanks for the tip!
