Notre Dame

4 Nov 2006, Sat, 1am

4th outing with JL. Our 2nd musical together (hmmm, next time we shd try something else). This time, we went to the opening night of the French musical - Notre Dame de Paris. He's received a pair of complimentary tics, so off we trooped. The first meeting after his 2.5 chillout weeks in cowboy land.

Good to see him again, just that the evening kept getting interrupted by multiple calls and sms-es from some aggressive kiddo mama who seemed all ready to jump into the boxing ring. Haiz, even had to talk to Big Boss as well, while huddled in some toilet in S'pore Indoor Stadium. =( I wonder why ppl had to make other ppl's lives miserable. "Ben(3) shi(4) tong(2) gen(1) sheng(1)", is it not?

Well, the entire musical's in French. Great songs but the screens showing the subtitles.. cannot make it. Too far away and font's definitely way(X 10) too small. Quite a handful in the audience walked out @ intermission and never returned.. But we stayed for the great music and the pretty solid male (Quasimodo) and female (Esmeralda) leads. Such powerful, expressive vocals they have (tho' we dunno what they are singing abt)!

This time too, we did talked more about the sets, songs etc. And we also did go for kopi after the perf. So that's good. Just that we are both already pretty zonked out after a full day's work to be more chatty and spontaneous as can be. But yeah, no complaints. And importantly, I appreciate his patience throughout the sms-calls episode. I'd probably have been quite turned off if roles were reversed.
