Goodness! Its Sunday and I am casually browsing the Internet and touching up my blog on The Hubback Brothers. @THSH's History Project which I am sure most of you won't find interesting. Well, for a person like me who likes Documentaries (I am a fan of National Geographic, Discovery, History Channel and loads more), the story of the Hubback' s has been very interesting, some filled with more intrigue and mystery than what you can find in works of fiction or Detective Academy Q! (The last one Japanese Anime lar .....)
Anyone remember Amy & Tony? Anyone remember my ramblings about a very 'sweet voice ' calling me when I was about to throw in the towel sometime ago? No? So sad .... anyway, today I received an email from Amy, saying that she just got married last week and is so tired. She even suggested that we, @THSH, should start a fund with support from the local community for the restoration and preservation of the Hotel. Well, in actual fact, I was planning of doing something similar in order to raise funds for our community project, so let put some final pieces together before I ask you Guys and Gals out there for your opinions. Thanks so much to Amy for her support and believing in us @THSH!
She was so sweet to share some of her pictures with me, and I am so touched! In turn, I have decided to share some Amy & Tony's pictures with all of you, despite not getting their consent ... err .... hope they don't kill me or worse still, sue me in court until I become a bankrupt and live out my years as their personal kuli!
Can you tell where these song verses came from? Come on... the 1st and 3rd verse are dead giveaways ..... anyone? Let me give you a clue. This is from the Broadway version of Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. This Broadway version has a happy ending (of sorts lar). Guess lar ... come on ... Ganbatte!!! Add Oil!!!
To Amy & Tony, our heartiest congratulations from @THSH, and we wish you every happiness, prosperity and luck in whatever you guys do! Let's keep in touch ok? Take care!
In case you guys and gals didn't get it correct, the above verses were taken from the lyrics of songs from the Broadway Musical (and later a film) "My Fairlady". The Broadway version starred Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews, but for the film version Julie was replaced by Audrey Hepburn even though its still Julie Andrews voice you hear when she sings. Julie Andrews turned down the film to do Marry Poppins with Dick Van Dyke, and later got a academy award for her portrayal as Marry Poppins. So there!

"I'm getting married in the morning
Ding dong! The bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper, let's have a whopper
But get me to the church on time"
Ding dong! The bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper, let's have a whopper
But get me to the church on time"
"This is no time for a chat
Haven't your lips longed for my touch
Don't say how much, show me, show me
Don't talk of love lasting through time
Make me no undying vow
Show me now"
Haven't your lips longed for my touch
Don't say how much, show me, show me
Don't talk of love lasting through time
Make me no undying vow
Show me now"
"I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before
I'll never know
What made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he
Began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced danced all night"
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before
I'll never know
What made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he
Began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced danced all night"
"Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear
People stop and stare
They don't bother me
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be
Let the time go by
I won't care if
I can be here on the street where you live"
The overpowering feeling

People stop and stare
They don't bother me
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be
Let the time go by
I won't care if
I can be here on the street where you live"
