My beautiful orchids (Paphiopedilum)

Pixs with Omama

At Dae Jang geum's village. I was dressed up as Jang Geum
and Oma as Huang hou, or Queen Su Yi

Oma enjoys her Ginseng chicken

Something short and cute about my Oma

This is my dear playful Oma when I had a holiday with her in Korea, Aug, 2006.

She's cute, isn't she?

..........................................................................

Here's a poem I composed when I was 9.yrs old.....It's about my Oma and....wrinkles.

Every month a wrinkle more

It will open your nice pores

My oma is cute with her wrinkles

But hers don't look like barnacles!

She looks very nice with her wrinkles.

But the only thing

that doesn't wrinkle is her NOSE!!!!

Dae Jang Geum- the Jewel of the palace

Indeed, a marvellous piece of history ever revealed!

Dae Jang geum, a kitchen maid in the Palace, later turned into a highly honored medical lady doctor, became an unprecedented history of Korea.
Jang Geum was a little girl when she accidentally exposed her father as an officer of the palace who had killed the Ex-Queen, resulting in the pursuit of the authority to kill him.
This incident led to immense political upheavals thus giving the young Jang Geum an abnormal environment in the palace to live in.

When her mother died, Jang Geum was left all alone. Only relying upon her instincts, she survived all by herself through thick and thin.

The story ended up with a mix of romance, power struggle and persistence to excel
amidst greed.

I particularly enjoyed the film music, the themes, the lyrics and the beat of the traditional drums. It's rhythmathic and creative, fitting to various parts of the story.Viewers, pay special attention to the "Kitchen music" that rhymes with the chopping knives, pots and pans !
If you enjoy Erhu, Guzheng and drums, this movie will touch you.
DON'T MISS IT !

Farewell

Another sweet, but sad piece of music I wrote, this time in Minor key


It's you, it's you,
When I felt you in your arms like an angel.
Tonight, when I look into the stars
I know that you left me

REF. You, you brightened up my days
I couldn't leave you then- I was so amazed by you
Now I'm waiting by the phone
I know you've left me all alone

You are the passion of my life

Here is one of the pieces I have composed. It's a slow ballad......

As I'm sittin here all alone
not goin' out, not answerin' the phone
that's when I think of you, you being here

and I know I love you so.

REF: You, the passion of my life
without you I won't survive
and I won't just let you go

You, the angel of my dreams
you satisfy me
and I know I love you so....

When I'm all alone by sea
in a small boat, feelin' free
that's when I think of you, you being here
and I know I love you so.

REF.
