DAVID AS DESSERT


Now I keep thinking his hands r vry big haha but vry beautiful too. This is in Lisa mag which can buy now in Sg if u r interested, he's on the cover.

The feature is more serious in tone than Sisters & dun venture into his love life. He said his father told him sumthing he always remembered & that is 'not to cook the same dish or write the same kind of song.' They oso did profiling of him by asking him if you are a bird, what kind? His answer = owl. Dessert = Banana Flambe in brandy (I think, sounds exotic), the rest I dun understand (chandelier where r u). The result is David is vry creative & love to have dreams (think we dun need profiling to tell us this heehee)
There's a fair bit abt songwriting & his plans to be a director. Vry nice writeup & should please DT fans unlike Sisters. Oso nice conclusion where the writer said that although David seemed tired, he was patient & polite in the interview. so even though lotsa creative ppl r bad tempered as a rule, David is an exception. I find the pixs really wonderful as altho he dun looked as goodlooking as in Sisters, they reflected a truer image of David.

As nlayhua mentioned in shoutbox, Sprite mv can be seen @ davidcn aredi. I seen it but unable to dl, its really fun & David was cute falling into the water. He looked taotally adorable underwater heehee.

Oso thank u Yen for letting us know that from 05/11 till 06/01 can listen to David Tao music special on 988fm every Wed from 9.00pm. Found a recipe for the dessert that David wanna be so now if u wanna, can taste him as well hehehehehheheheh

Banana Flambe in Brandy
4 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons butter
2 whole peeled and sliced bananas
2 tablespoons banana liqueur
2 tablespoons brandy
2 glasses filled half way with vanilla ice cream
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
4 tablespoons whipped cream
2 whole strawberries (remove the stem and make a small hole for the cubed sugar)
2 sugar cubes
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it becomes liquid. Add the butter and the sliced banana. Cook for about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and then add the banana liqueur. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat once again, then add the brandy. Once you put the pan back in the heat, it should flambe. Remove the pan from the heat and start spooning the flambeed banana into the ice cream glass. Add the chocolate syrup and the whipped cream. On top of the whipped cream, right in the center, place the cleaned strawberry, then place the sugar cube in the center of the strawberry. Pour a little bit of the brandy on top of the sugar and carefully ignite it with a match.

A MODERN HERO


He looked funny haha, from I Weekly. The 2-page feature really great, kinda like a comic strip of the going-ons during his visit. Also David will be on tv from 8.00pm to 10.00pm this Sat. Go to May activities in blog forum for more details.

Online every day but still no msgs or new diary entry? Come on David, we miss yr writing. Been a while since you last wrote. I think yr diary entries getting famous. Everytime u write one, it will be quoted in the news. U r one of the most interactive celebrities, apart from Moby who writes almost every day.

Looked simply sweet here *sigh* just adorable.

His hands rather huge here heehee. Absolutely adore the orangy stripy shirt. Wonder if he bought it here as nvr seen him wear b4.
Posted The Art of War lyrics @ blog forum, marvellous piece of translation by chandelier, thank you again. Lotsa ppl who dun understand chinese will eternally be in yr debt now they can enjoy this song so much more with the meaning of the lyrics made clear. Really a masterpiece this song. Along with Bastard, Rain & Black Tangerine, these 4 songs from each of his studio albums really show David's range, depth & versatility as a songwriter.
He is really such a frighteningly talented person cos u either can feel & understand his talent & importance or not at all. Its not something u can hype or shout from the rooftop. His talent not a commodity to be traded for fame & fortune. But every time I listen to The Art of War, really feel that he is a modern hero of our times.

DESIGNING DAVID


I am so happy as strangely all my wishes came true. First Lynn managed to give the shirts to David, then Sg fans got united & the official fanclub is now full steam ahead, so proud of them, & now there is really a PIX of David sticking out his tongue heehee. In I Weekly which sum sg fan has kindly posted @ DT forum.
David will be appearing in a local program this Sat too thanks to anonymous who posted in this msg called PSC Nite. David was seen this weekend in Mac exhibition I think in Taipei, but he left after 20 mins as ppl starting to recognise him.
Replying to Nan, I bought a Philippe StARCK (yeah I know kinda pretentious name) mouse cos its the only thing I can afford of his designs & was on sale. Designs are actually vry important in our everyday life for eg things work better & more functional with right kind of design & make our life easier. So I always try to support designers by buying their stuff if I can afford them. Its not a 'lifestyle' thing ok.
Kinda linear trivial here but once attended a design workshop in Sydney & there was this extremely cute guy, white South African as it turned out. We went out for coffee once & he explained to me like I am an idiot child how it was right & proper to torture black South African kids, really opened my eyes how ppl can get brainwashed at an early age. So yeah maybe I am prejudiced against Charlie Theron but I do know what I am talking abt as I have met quite a few similar thinking white South Africans who migrated to Sydney. Its sad the world filled with ppl who feel they have to subjugate others in order to make their world better.

That's why its important to support ppl like David who is trying to change the way ppl think thru his songs & msgs. Sumtimes when I read how sum fans expressing their views on injustices in the world or donating to charity cos of David, can see a ray of light & my ever present depression lifting.
So really really glad that the Sg DT fanclub is almost a reality although I will not participate. Plse do excuse me as not really into any kinda club activities. Also this blog just to provide info in english to those DT fans who cannot read chinese. Hopefully the Sg fanclub might launch an english fansite so I can wind back on this blog.
