Broadway's longest-running and most popular musical, The Phantom of the Opera, returns to Singapore for a strictly limited season in March 2007.
Andrew Lloyd-Webber's phenomenal hit first burst onto the London stage 20 years ago, and continues to play to full houses nightly in London, New York and around the world. The Phantom of the Opera has been seen by over 80 million people worldwide, has been performed in more than 20 countries, won over 50 major theatre awards, and grossed more than S$5 billion.
In the musical'sheart-wrenching story of the mysterious "Angel of Music" who lives beneath the Paris Opera House, the hideously disfigured Phantom falls in love with the young singer Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new opera star while exercising a reign of terror over the Opera House's occupants.
With 130 cast, crew and orchestra members, spectacular sets and more than 230 costumes, The Phantom of the Opera contains some of Andrew Lloyd Webber's most famous music and is a worldwide sensation which will take Singapore's audiences on an unrivalled journey in musical theatre.
The Phantom awaits your presence...
(150mins, with intermission)

You like working and being alone. You like to avoid attention at all costs (do love some attention at times). You tend to keep to yourself, and not interact much with the people around you. You enjoy spending time with a few a close friends(Yeah! lazy to manage a whole list of friends. its quality not quantity). You like to listen to others, but don't like sharing much about yourself. You are very quiet and private (hm... i dont know about this.. can be very 38).
You are very practical, and only act after thinking things through (opps. sadly, its the opposite.). You don't like being forced to answer quickly(YES! reaction time slow). You have to evaluate the situation completely(hm.. not true). You make decisions based on what you can verify with your senses (true).
You like to be deeply involved in one or two special projects. You like to be behind the scenes. You are very logical and fair(hm.. more intuitional ba). You feel you should be honest with others and protect their feelings (YEah!! I try as much as i can to be).
You trust your gut instincts. You are easily inspired and trust that inspiration. You are very innovative. You analyse things by looking at the big picture. You are concerned about how what you do affects others. You worry about your actions and the future. You tend to use a lot of metaphors and are very descriptive and colourful in your choice of language.
You are very creative, and get bored easily if you don't get to express yourself. You like to learn new things. You dont like the same old routine. You like to leave your options open. (Hurray to the entire para!!)

12th Feb. Mon
Technology Pin up.. had a external prof coming seating in.. Stress... Alexender something.. cant remember his name.. but I LOVE his brain. amazing how fast his analysis skill is and the amount of knowledge he possess. He talks effortlessly like all his thoughts just come naturally.. and he sure can talk alot and all if not MOST of His comments is ' one needle see blood' .. he bought out points that even our own tutor are in awe. Apparently His The ONE that comes out with the term ' critical regionalism '!!.. thou my panels were brutally slammed.. I learned a great deal out of it. Do think this is one of the best crit I had.

.: JB Wedding :.
Dear's female cousin's wedding
Rise and shine @ 7am and off to Dear's house before we set off to JB. Dear drove.. reached Bride's house bout 10am. Bridegroom was already there, trying to get his bride to open the door. As not to miss the 'auspicious time'.. the hong bao negociation was cut short in the Jie Meis' dismay.. Bride finally out.. tea ceremony.. phototaking session.. then they are off to Bridegroom's house.
Me and dear stayed at bride's house for lunch buffet before heading back to dear's house. Had a quick rest and we are off to Holiday Plaza.. its Shopping time!!.. it turn out to be quite boring thou.. not of my taste. We window shopped. Dear manage to get a cool polo T. Back @ dear's house 5pm. Slack abit more before bathing and getting change for the Dinner.
Reach the restaurant @ 8pm. To my surprise there's a HUGE hall that belongs to the restaurant, not in the least as bad as a good class hotel. Its a 'Thousand ppl feast' (literal translation frm Chinese) Bridegroom is a business man. The Wedding dinner sure is much happening then the Singapore wedding, at least for this. There's a hired MC and the usual slide slide show of photos. In addition, there's artists performing on stage while we eat. Even a Karaok session after that, guests goin up the stage without hesitation to sing, and not bad singing too. Bride changed 3 gown though out the Dinner. Food is ok. I got headache in the middle of the dinner which affected my appetite.. Weak and sickly.. I was Almost half dead at the end of the dinner.. Enduring.. Dear and I depart to Singapore straight after. I slept the entire journey back home.
* Dinner photo to post soon *
Loving pic of Dear and I through the entire day.. before, during and after. Hee.
Nice. No touch up o.
