Well, I have been a bit slack about writing my blog. Sorry about that. Many of you have already signed on to Facebook which I find a lot easier to keep in touch with people.

 

I've been busy working and playing, playing and working. I can't say it's all been great nor can I say it's all been bad. Such is life - a big mix of everything. Not so bad, I think!

 

I'm getting involved in theatre again - if only backstage... in fact, it is so backstage it's called administration. I enjoy PR and I enjoy theatre - so... why not combine the two, right? I'm helping promote an upcoming show for Seoul Players that will see its opening night on November 25th. The show will run into December and has a Christmas theme in it... it just so happens to take place in Toronto, too. I love Canadian theatre! So... if you're in Seoul and want to catch a play about Toronto, called Dinner on the 14th Floor, you're welcome to join. The original play has been shorted to one hour by the playwrite, just for its Seoul debut. It should be a good time.

 

With work, last weekend, I went fishing with my 'mentors'. Kia has a mentorship program whereby new recruits are acclimatized to the 'family' by getting together with members of the HR team to discuss issues and socialize. Since there are only three foreigners at Kia... or recently hired foreigners... we get to do these events together. Fishing was on the agenda which took place about an hour outside of Seoul. It was a lot of fun, actually. I caught one fish and felt absolutely terrible for the little thing with a hook in its mouth gasping for air (water?)... I decided fishing is definately not for me. Although, there's something about the feel of the tug at the end of your line and wrestling with the fish. Poor thing... I'm bigger than he is, of course I'm gonna win!

 

So here are some pictures of my recent fishing trip.

 

Apart from fishing, working, theatre and partying... I've been busy with a music project with Bel Canto productions. I'm singing some children's songs in English that will accompany a child-rearing-how-to-book written in Korean. Koreans are so crazy-crazy about English that they'll subject their unborn children to it even if they don't necessarily understand what is being sung. But who cares! I get to sing in a studio for it! It's always been a bit of a dream to be a recording artist. I'm waiting for the photographer to come and take pictures for the cover of the CD. Ok, ok... now I'm just exagerating, but that WOULD be cool! I have to tell you though that noraebang (karaoke) is one thing and studio is another - every crack, every breath, every sound can be heard and is usually recorded... and then played back for all to hear! AH!! But sometimes you get it right and it sounds pretty nice.

 

So, keep tuned in for my next release... maybe it'll hit the Top 40 charts!
