Weekend Snapshot: Disney on ice

Disney on ice comes to Bangkok once a year. The fact that I don't like to watch it alone always made me unable to see it for more than a decade. Finally this year I found someone who wants to witness it as much as I do. Off we went to Impact Arena where it was shown last week. I took these shots from my seat:


Smoke on ice...


The plot/smoke thickens:


My friend turned to me smiling when the nickname a college sweetheart baptized me with boomed out of the speakers-Anastasia. "I have always been game for your version of charm, Ivan, haven't I?" I blew a thought while snapping into the magic.


An enchanting refrain engulfed the entire arena - "believe in your dreams... someday my prince will come..." It faded before I started going sentimental. This princess has obviously found her prince:


My prince could still be in some pond leaping and croaking. I'm not sure if I could kiss a frog with bulging eyes and serpent-green skin in real life though. But I was 100% happy to be transported into a magical world for an hour.

Oh yes, it would be fun to watch shows like this with a friend. The last time I watched Disney on Ice was years ago when my daughter was still in preparatory school.

What a fun series of photographs and great text to go with it. I have a lot of ornamental frogs in my garden. I joke that I've tried kissing them but they don't turn into a prince. I'd never try that with a living leaping eye bulging frog.

Sense and Sensibility: 200th anniversary

In 1811 Thomas Egerton of Whitehall, London published Sense and Sensibility . Quick math shows it has been two centuries since Jane Austen became a full-fledged author. Quite an anniversary, indeed. A celebration, I declare . Blogs regarding the publication anniversary of this romance novel picture Jane Austen 's engagements whilst making the final touches of her manuscript from Sloane Street. In letters to her sister Cassandra, Jane gave accounts of her shopping for muslin, the party that their brother Henry and SIL Eliza gave; mentioned several acquaintances, and referred to her book as S and S . As a fan I wonder which between sense and sensibility did JA deem more important since she portrayed both attributes equally well. I'm obliged to enthuse over my S & S reading experience. Alas, I only managed fourteen chapters before getting sidetracked by another novel, the very first that JA wrote. I will resume and complete my affair with the celebrant before 2011 end...

Hallelujah Chorus: stand or sit?

According to legend, King George II of England rose to his feet when the Hallelujah Chorus was sung. Following protocol his subjects rose up as well. Thus began the tradition of audiences around the world rising during the Hallelujah performace. There are many speculations as to why the king stood or if he even stood at all. The Bangkok Combined Choir is composed of volunteer singers of around twenty nationalities. Every year in December, the choir performs Handel's Messiah. I sang once. (pure luck: there was no audition in 2000) Rehearsals got me thinking of the tradition of standing when the Hallelujah Chorus is sang. I googled what people have to say and my today is a list of opinions about audience decorum during the chorus: 1. The Hallelujah Chorus is like an anthem for the church. Whenever you hear it you are supposed to stand up. 2. Standing for the Hallelujah Chorus just interrupts the performance. 3. People should not be taught that they need to stand up at a certain time ...
