Autumn Leaves

Over here in the tropics there are only two seasons: rainy and dry, so that keeps me appreciating autumn. Who would not like distinct colors! Many beautiful stories, poetry, visual arts, lovely lyrics are inspired by this very charming season.  I grew up listening to Matt Monro (parents are fans), and I remember quite well the horrified look on my mother's face when she found out I listened to heavy metal (in my early youth). "Where has your taste for class and beauty gone, Hazel!" Well, now Ma, stop shaking your head because it's back, and it's your top-quality sweetheart Matt Monro!

The lovely images featured on this clip also remind me of that Sweden autumn picture on our living room wall. If I am forever bewitched then so be it.

Great song and beautiful imagery. Isn't funny how in our youth we clash with our parents when it comes to music only to find that years later, we find an appreciation for it. I think my mom likes The Cure now. lol

Thanks for the Music Monday shout out! :-)

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 ...

Regency delight and love language

Friday's Fave Five: Regency Period Cake Please scroll down for Mommy Moments Ambience of Banana Leaf Restaurant dinners continue to be the trend for us this week. Rustic charm has always been a big hit to me and Banana Leaf's got it. Buckets of real wheat, garlic and pumpkin hang adorning the wall. Plus the sweet and sour fish and chicken with cashew nuts and mushroom are a real pleasure. J Lo Live This was a gift to me two years ago. Cj is too young to be choosy with scents. He smiles playfully when I spray it on him and I laugh inwardly thinking he is a boy wearing a girl's perfume. This week we both smell the same :) Cyberbanking I finally dragged documents and myself down K Bank to register for online financial transactions. Spending only what I earn suits me best as I avoid debts and the convenience of sorting expenses any time of day in familiar surrounding is always welcome.
