I enjoyed chatting candidly with Ming Pao — on culture, heritage, and breaking stereotypes.

I appreciate how they were able to capture the cultural nuances that are part of my identity, while also pushing forward the reality that in many ways, the cultural divide between the Philippines and Hong Kong is not so far apart as one may think.

“Filipinos seem to be both near and far to us... But Crisel Consunji, a Filipino who has lived in Hong Kong for 13 years and is a performer and educator, tells us that Filipinos are far more than these vague impressions of ‘others.’ From their interesting daily life culture, we may be able to find some traces of our own culture.” (As translated online)

Thank you for sharing a lot of the things I’m passionate about, and for letting me talk about the culture and heritage I come from ❤️

The other day Nana and I got around to talking about our husband and children. And Nana candidly opened up about how it was for her getting married to a younger man. And that was in 2015.
What was it like for you too?
And what’s the POV of the men who went through it?

Can’t wait to meet u LIVE tomorrow at 11am as usual as we share with u too Nana’s latest MV! @nanakaria.sg

CINNABAR ROUGE 辰胭

Poisonous addiction, to the maze of time.
辰砂有毒，胭脂是瘾，我们都迷醉在时间嫣红的迷宫里

Cinnabar Rouge, a second self-produced studio album, where Janet pays tribute to a genre that earned her title as Malaysia’s Shanghai Jazz Queen in this 12-track CD. Candidly claimed as a ‘Shanghai Jazz Fantasy Project’, the album carries ten covers and two original compositions by Tay Cher Siang with lyrics by Chiew Ruoh Peng – of three languages in the repertoire: Mandarin, Malay and French. The music director is Tay Cher Siang, jazz pianist, arranger, composer and band leader of WVC - Malaysia Jazz Ensemble. Janet worked with three renowned artistes and producers on vocal production, namely Winnie Ho, Isabell Jia Jia and Xie Songfan.

The music arrangements cover swing, ballad, retro and R&B – showing off Janet’s growing finesse in her musicality and vocals. This exquisitely designed album by Kongsi Design is both a visual and aural feast. The album includes a full color 80-page hardcover photo book that features images shot artfully by concept photographer Shah Azman, and features bilingual poems by poet Chiew Ruoh Peng.

《辰胭》是Janet Lee制作的第二张专辑。她有“大马上海爵士乐皇后”的美誉，戏称专辑是“上海爵士乐的奇幻旅程”，内有12首歌，除了10首华语、马来语、甚至法语老歌翻唱，还有两首由著名音乐人郑泽相作曲、周若鹏填词的原创作品。郑泽相也担任音乐制作，歌唱制作方面还有著名艺人、制作人何芸妮、潘沁珈及谢松汎联手打造。

编曲风格多样，有摇摆乐、民谣、复古及节奏蓝调，充分展现Janet愈趋成熟的歌艺。精致的专辑设计由"一亻一半"团队操刀，无论视觉、听觉都是一大享受。80页的全彩精装摄影集内不只有概念摄影师沙.阿兹曼的作品，还有诗人周若鹏撰写的双语新诗。

====================================================
She, the time traveler.
Songs are her spells, luring you to Old Shanghai, Nanyang and into the unknown future.
Let's wander in search of blossoming love
and wander on before it wilts.
Her stories are in the music, joy and sorrows weaved into the tune
.Be careful not to trip over a sad note, though.
This is her game,
Keep up, stay close.

她是时间旅人，歌是她的魔咒，
把听者牵引到旧上海、南洋，到未知的未来，
不断地穿梭、流浪，寻找一段开花不结果的爱情。
她的故事唱在乐章里，每次音符起伏都在诉说她的忧喜。
你要小心，莫要让迂回的旋律把你绊倒
这是她的游戏，
你可要跟紧了

We all know someone who gives advice even when not asked. In life, or in our virtual space.

They might not know whether you’re struggling with something. They might not know whether you are working on an issue. They might not know whether you want to hear their opinion.

They’ll talk anyway. They’ll tell you what to do anyway. They’ll shove answers right down your throat if they have to.

In this week's episode, we swap notes about people who love to #JustSharing. I'm glad we did this episode. It makes me more mindful in my conversation with others ... and more.

#SwappingNotes is an independent (read: unfunded) web show where Sheril A. Bustaman (Fluff) and I (Pons) talk candidly and truthfully about our experiences being wives, mothers, and women - among other things.

In this week's episode, we swap notes about how we deal with taboo topics and tough questions at home like sexual relations, religion, inappropriate touch and .... death.

I truly believe that the first step in having conversations about things like this, is to begin by destigmatizing topics that are typically deemed taboo and to start the dialogue early, according to the age comprehension.
