Sir Ian Mckellen????

Yes. That's my not so glamorous cheek with Sir Ian Mckellen behind it.


For those of you who don't know who he is ... well, here are a few other photos of him which I believe you will be able to recognise who he is:

He's Gandalf in Lord of the Ring Trilogy.


He is Magneto in X-Men


And he is also Sir Leigh Teabing in Da Vinci Code


I can't believe to this moment that I'm in the same room with him. What an honour to be in his presence. Well, he was also enjoying the local production of Happy Endings, well of course he went there with the director, Ivan Heng.
Happy Endings is a theatre work based on Singapore first gay novel ever - Peculiar Chris by Johann S. Lee, which was adapted by local playwright, Alfian Sa'at.

How do I rate the show?
9 out of 10.
Why?
For its blatant honesty and like one of my friend put it ... "poignant happy endings".
Eventually, all endings are written by ourselves and we are the decision maker to our happy endings ... no matter how tough the plot may seem like but eventually ... it'll be fine.

i agree with your friend's quote.

but sadly, many of our own happy endings might have to take place away from singapore. unless we choose to ignore many aspects and focus only on the economic and material fulfilment in our lives.

Thanks for the comment, Imp & Kopi.

Yes, Ian is gay. :-) An activist some more. Haha ... He's cool though.

As for happy endings, I believe happiness is a choice. :-) Wherever you are, whatever your situation, happiness is a choice within you.

Hope you will see happiness all around you and most importantly, inside you.
