Before I Die.

From "BEFORE I DIE I WANT TO..." by Nicole Kenney and Ks Rives

Stumbled across this amazing experimental portfolio today during Viscom class and it got me thinking, before I die what would I want to do and what would I want most to be remembered as. I mean at my funeral I don't want no "he was an all-round nice guy" because we all know that half the time it's not true. I rather have something deeper, more meaningful and something that draws emotion.

Before I die I'd like to honestly say I've amounted to something, that I've contributed to the world in one way, form or shape. How many of us are actually capable or have sufficient motivation to do so? I don't know but it's the kind of people who do who leave a mark on history.

What would you do? IN terms of experiencing something I'd like to:

- go skydiving

- walk with tigers

- sit on a beach in the South Pacific

- and go to Broadway.

meh thats my list

on a side note can't wait to go to HK. Michelle and I are going to the meow cafe, a cafe where cats are allowed to roam free :) Here's their website: http://www.ahmeow.com/mainpage.html

apparently there's also a dog cafe but cant find it online

Wall-e and Rob Guest and the Wicked Witch of the East sheet music

Shucks, who knew that a robot movie would be so good. But after Ben told me I told myself "Tim, you just have GOT to see this for yourself". So i called up Phil: "Hey, you wanna see wall-e?" and he was like "Ur... how about Eagle eye?". No way was I going to see eagle eye so I replied, "Charles said eagle eye was bad :)" (me lying). And he agreed. So we watched Wall-e which is the cutest most touching movie I have seen this year. I have only seen two really outstanding movies this year and that is Be Kind, Rewind and Wall-e.

Wall-e follows the story of a robot named WALL-E who is designed to clean up a polluted Earth. He eventually falls in love with another robot named EVE, and follows her into outer space on an adventure.


Love it, just love it! I was so touched in some scenes and it's amazing how there can be so little dialogue yet the robots can express themselves in such a heart wrenching manner, I nearly cried as well. Just to assure you how good it was, everyone who walked out of that cinema was grinning from ear-to-ear, I kid you not.







It was on the news all yesterday. Rob Guest, the legendary Phantom of Australasia dies from sudden stroke. And to think I watched him just over a month ago in Wicked as he played The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This certain story really hit me because I had actually watched him before, his performance: very professional. And then I found out yesterday he was only 58, a bit older than my own dad and he has kids same age as Joyce and I as she pointed out, 19 & 17. It touched me.


It really won't be the same if Rodney Dobson is taking over the role because Dobson's usually the goat who gets tortured by the wizard in the first place and it can't be Berazin either because he's archnemesis with him and they appear in the same scene anyway and who's gonna play Elphaba's father then and will one of the dance captains take over permanent role of Doctor Dillamond and... well it's all speculation so far, nothing's sound.




Finally, today I was looking for the sheet music to "Wicked Witch of the East", my favourite song from Wicked. I was searching up and down, hi and lo, e-mailing random people, posting whole new threads on music forums till i looked in my own sheet music folder and found I had already downloaded it 2 months ago. Gay.
Thought I'd share it as it is a rare working copy, it even has Stephen Schwartz's own handwritten notes and script changes, quite amazing actually, but the lyrics have surprisingly been unchanged. The other day I downloaded "Take It Like A Man" from Legally Blonde and it was a working copy as well (where do people steal these top-secret documents from?). The part that Emmett sings has been completely ommitted!


So, without further ado, download here if you're interested (it's pdf) >> [download]
