This City Never Sleeps
Tuesday, February 21, 2006 @ Welcome to the Widowhood!
I finish my last paper liao... Sigh. My last paper (Legal Aspects) has come to an end, and it marks two things:
1. The last paper of the semester has come to an end.
2. The last paper for my TP life has come to an end.

And just like Mrs Laura Henderson, she starts a new life of widowhood after her husband passed away. She said to her bestfriend on the 1st day of widowhood: ' I can't stand the boredom of widowhood!'

While on the other hand, Paul told me it is wonderful to be a good for nothing for weeks before NS. Yeah, you bet. Try living like Mrs Henderson for few weeks and you may want to buy a theatre featuring nude performances for yourself! And that also means you can directly compete with Crazy Horse Paris in Singapore, and you are a step closer in achieving your goal: to own a bookstore.

I didn't buy a theatre and named it Windmill, and have a partner named Vivian Van Damm to run the theatre, and recruit girls to go onto the stage naked to salvage the failing business.


As you can see from here, Judi Dench is the spokesperson for Mrs Henderson. She runs the Windmill to keep herself occupied.

Asked Yao Ming if he is interested in the free screening of Mrs Henderson Presents yesterday and i didn't keep him with me for the show as he was occupied with something else. Well, he just missed a great show, that's all.

Well Mrs Henderson is that simple. About a rich tai tai named Mrs Henderson who inherited her hubby's wealth after he died, and she bought a theatre and named Windmill to occupy herself from boredom of widowhood. She had a partner named Vivian Van Damm to fully in charge of the show. The response is good, but slowly no one comes for the show, and the theatre is making a loss. Mrs Henderson (or should i call her Mrs Wu Looi aka filthy rich in Hokkien instead? That is something new i learnt from my LA tutorial) thus introduces nude performances into the Windmill.

She not only make Windmill famous, but also changes the view of the society of nudity and eventually, Windmill is the only theatre that still runs the show during WW2.

Indeed, Mrs Henderson aka Wu Looi makes a remarkable achievement in her lifetime before she says goodbye to the world in 1944.

Somewhere around the corner in the city lies a man with some past...
