製作影片的過程是很孤單的，因為我不會100%知道影片做出來，觀眾是否會喜歡，及覺得受用，所以一支影片要說什麼，怎麼拍，怎麼剪輯，幾時推出，猶如一場運氣賭注。

紀伊國屋書店是我個人很喜歡的書局。看到大家對我的信任，而讓我推薦師尊的書登上「龍虎榜」，有種「苦盡甘來」的覺受。🥲

昨晚特別跑去書店，記下這難得一見的「盛況」，因為無常啊～競爭激烈，不知會擺在那裡多久，去拍張照留念留念。😁

心情特好，這星期會出支影片，送一本書給七位想讀蓮生活佛盧勝彥文集的觀眾！無論您在世界的哪裡！到時再回來參加贈書活動！❤️

感謝大家！

Video production is a very lonely process, because I would never 100% know whether the audience will like my videos and find it useful. Thus, to decide what to say, how to film, how to edit, and when to publish the video is like a gamble of luck.

Kinokuniya bookstore is a personal favourite of mine. To see these books authored by Grandmaster on its recommended section, due to the trust you placed in me, it’s like being recognised for my efforts. 🥲

Yesterday night, I did a bookstore run to record this rare grand occasion. Because with so much competition going on, we never know how long the books can stay “recommended”. 😁

This week, I will be releasing a video to give one of the books to 7 viewers. No matter which part of the world you live in, come back to watch the video and take part in the book giveaway! ❤️

Thank you for being here!

This episode of The Better Show by Orange Room Events is dedicated to the ladies because we will be talking about bras and how you can better support your boobs when you’re running.

Sports bras are more important than you realise, because when you do physical activities, your boobs will bounce up and down and it can cause soreness, pain and even sagging. Thus, sports bras will help to support and protect them.

Joining me to talk about boobs and bras is Dawn Sim, yoga instructor, mother of four and marathon runner. Hope you pick up some useful tips!

[SPORTS BRA GIVEAWAY] Orange Room is giving away a lululemon sports bra to one lucky winner to help you on your running journey!

All you have to do is follow @orange_room_asia and @lululemonsg on Instagram, subscribe to their YouTube channel, make sure your account is public and DM them the answers to these questions:

1) What cup sizes does the lululemon All Powered Bra come in?
2) What helps the lululemon AirSupport Bra re-balance support across the cups, band and straps?

Submit your entry before 26 September, Sunday, 2359 hours and they will select a winner after!

The Better Show is a brand new series brought to you by Orange Room and hosted by Cheryl Tay ​to help enrich your active lifestyle and empower you with the right skills to help you in your cycling, running and swimming.

Our family loves going on nature hikes and since overseas travel was curbed, we started exploring more locally. There're many nature trails to discover here and some of the gems can be found on Sentosa - the Imbiah Trail, Coastal Trail and Mount Imbiah Nature Trail. The first two are pretty known but the last one not so much and more secluded.

If you’re planning to hike with the kids or on your own, you can try out the Siloso Trail as part of the MSIG Biodiversity Mission 2021 on District app. MSIG Insurance has developed 2 trail challenges that you can do in Singapore - Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and Siloso trails - in order to raise awareness about the biodiversity at these 2 sites. The trails are FREE and open to everyone. All you need is the latest version of the District app and off you go!

We did just that and for once, wifey & I took a backseat and let the monkies take the lead in the Siloso trail. Using the District app, they navigated through the trail, stopped at various checkpoints to either collect points or answer questions about the local biodiversity we came across on the trail. Swipe to see how they did for some of them! In addition to points earned along the way, 200 points will be awarded for every 1km walked. Let’s just say I have never seen them so eager to compete and walk MORE. Maybe because there are $50 sports vouchers to be won for the top scorers! LOL.

So if you have been trying your darndest to get the kids outdoors, maybe the MSIG Biodiversity Mission will be up their alley. The app is super easy to use, the trails are kid-friendly (even for beginners), there are points to earn, and the kids get to learn more about the fauna and flora in our home country too. Lotsa wins right there!

Check out the MSIG Biodiversity Mission 2021 at gomsig.sg/biodiversity - it’ll come in useful with the September school holidays coming up! 😊

This is my challenge to learn to speak French in 12 hours on a livestream. I am a complete beginner and have never studied any French before. I have set up back-to-back conversations with French tutors from around the world (including from France, Canada, Cameroon, and Senegal) and I’m going to do my best to try and learn as much French as possible in one continuous 12 hour livestream, which is the longest YouTube allows you to stream and save it as a video afterwards. This video will showcase my raw process of language learning. I’m curious to see how much I can learn to speak conversationally by the end of this video, but I also think this will be a useful 12-hour long French class if you’re looking to learn French from scratch! So come study with me!

If you would like to get in touch with the French tutors I learned with today, here is their contact information in order of when they appeared in the video. Most of them have Italki pages where you can directly book time to learn languages.

那是疫情開始之初，"無用之地" 的身體錄像展演到了澳門，紀錄消逝的時間與地景 , 那是2020年的一月時，演後回台，全世界進入封國封城，這是第二版無用之地的創作首次海外展演的時局，用無用面對無用。澳門，一個靠海又不斷填海法發展的城市 , 蘊藏了因殖民歷史所留下豐厚的文化足跡 , 有些部分很像台灣 , 而台灣對於澳門也許不太認識那裏的歷史文化 . 於是我決定用身體去走訪感受 , 用影像記錄即將逝去的空間 , 試著留存曾經存在的遺跡與證據 . 而這一次面對的是海洋與船屋 , 與消逝的百年木造船產業空間一同來對話。--- 周書毅

在身和影之間看地景變遷 .
Watch between body and shadow the transformation of landscape .

“Break” means to take a rest, to crack an opening or to cause damage. Its varied meanings imply the subtle connection between dilapidation, rest and rebirth.
From 2014 to 2020, Chou Shu-Yi moved between new and old cities across Asia, making more than 100 video clips depicting the dialogues between his body and useful or useless lands, which he later complied into a work. He responded to different urban transformations through his body and shadow, and conveyed his self-reflection on life experiences. In 2020, Chou will come to Macao for shooting, screening and performing, leading the audience into the space of his video clips and re-interpreting the dialogues between himself and those spaces through dance.

“Are you helping or harming us?” This is my serious question to you American politicians, including those in the Trump administration and in the Congress. As the spokesperson for the New Party, one of Taiwan’s political parties, and also a young man who has lived in Taiwan for more than 32 years since my birth, I should tell you that the answer decides our future without doubt. In other words, the very fact I must confirm is whether you support Taiwan independence instead of the One-China policy or just deploy Taiwan as your pawn to bargain with Beijing. To be honest, as you always take it for granted to sacrifice others for your benefits, it is quite important for us to make sure in advance.

As we all know, the US Congress usually tends to challenge China’s sovereignty over Taiwan because of the impact of the military-industrial complex and the lobbies hired by the Taiwan government. The Taiwan Travel Act and the TAIPEI Act are the late instances. However, without the administration’s implementation, these are only lip service. Thus, the administration’s attitude is crucial indeed. So, let’s see the Department of State. As Secretary Pompeo stated last March, the US is now using every tool in its tool kit to prevent China from isolating Taiwan through diplomatic channels. This year, after shifting blames for its neglect of the pandemic prevention by attacking China and the WHO, the Department of State recently expressed support for Taiwan’s participation in the WHA. The above really triggered my curiosity: The establishment of the US-Taiwan formal diplomatic relations is just the most useful tool, isn’t it? Why does the US not use that? Besides, since Taiwan should become a formal member of the UN before entering the WHO, why does the US not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state or the ROC government in Taiwan as the only legal government of China instead of the PRC?

The answer to my question seems that your real intention is not to support Taiwan’s real independence but only to trouble Beijing. Just as Pompeo said at a congressional hearing, the Trump administration’s way of viewing the US-Taiwan relations can consider the threat of China’s rise more than the predecessors, which reveals that Taiwan is only a chess piece for Washington to play with Beijing. Furthermore, since the US has no will to have Taiwan as a formal ally, Taiwan is just a pawn you can sacrifice anytime. Consequently, Taiwan must suffer the worsening of cross-strait relations at our own cost while the US just plays Taiwan to bargain with Beijing for your own interests. The outcome is so predictable that Taiwan should go through a depression for its large economic dependence on mainland China which you are unable and unwilling to make up. Besides, we should even consider the most serious situation that a war occurs in the Taiwan Strait. The scenario of Taiwan military is holding on alone within two to three weeks in order to wait for the US military aid. Nevertheless, as the former AIT chairman Richard Bush said, the implied commitment of the US to come to Taiwan’s defense has never be absolute. In other words, we should risk engaging a war with Beijing resulted from your dangerous game, sacrificing our lives for your lies.

As I already told you earlier, the real threat to the US is not China’s rise but the loss of your self-confidence. Moreover, you have weakened the stability across the Taiwan Strait by inciting Taiwan to deny the 1992 consensus and intervening in Taiwan’s campaign last year, which destroys the status quo and your interests indeed. Certainly, as what Secretary Pompeo has told us, “We lied, we cheated, we stole,” how can we bet our future on the US “glory” of lying, cheating, and stealing? In fact, as you once betrayed us in 1978 even though the ROC government in Taiwan and your government was formal alliance then, it is much easier for you today to abandon us when the deal has been done.

In conclusion, as your government declared plainly in the U.S.-PRC Joint Communique (1972), the US had its interests in a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question by the Chinese themselves. Accordingly, since you are not willing to recognize either Taiwan as an independent state or the ROC as the legal government of China, we have no choice but to deal with the question of reunification with Beijing by the Chinese ourselves. Helping instead of harming us, you could stop intervening in the Taiwan question, otherwise it will only strengthen the risk across the Taiwan Strait and put us in jeopardy. Thank you if you release your hands.
