Caught the chinese musical - If There're Seasons... by The Theatre Practice yesterday night.
Billed as 'the musical extravaganza that features the legendary hit songs of Liang Wern Fook and the remarkable writing talents of Raymong To... a moving story of love, courage, dreams and journeys...', this is its 2nd run since it debuted in 2007. And the verdict - I LOVE IT!
There is a believable storyline, there are nostalgia-laden xing(1) yao(2) songs with meaningful lyrics, there is good chemistry between 'Rose' and 'Ah Le', and a SUPERB showcase of singing (and acting) prowess by some actors & actresses - my runaway favorites are 'Rose'(Joanna Dong) and 'A-Qiang' (by Jeffrey Low). Was moved enough at some parts to get all teary-eyed. [A pity though, that Sing Chew who plays the role of 'Xiao Jing' was often too giggly (when she acted) and too nasal (when she sang). Had anticipated a more sterling performance from her.]
Nevertheless, it's still all good. What better way to end a busy work week than to get lost in a moving, local creation.
p.s. Also caught the internationally acclaimed musical CATS a couple of weeks back. The west end version. For me, it's the 'Seasons' over 'CATs' anytime. Not because of blind support for local productions, but for something more than just a glitzy feline song & dance.
p.s.2. OH! And I passed the freaking driving test!! Wahahahaha. Jus hung up those oh-so-beautiful fluorescent yellow-red P plates.

Congrats! U can now drive to wherever u like. Haha, wait till u remove the P plate 1 yr later, it feels > shiok, trust me. Btw, did u get the class 3 or 3A licence?
Hello Swiftdreamz, erhm, I got the auto transmission licence, so that's a 3A? =) but... parking without poles is a real stress-er. I'm half-contemplating getting my own set of poles and fixing them up before I park! Bleh.
Haha, I've the same issue when I juz passed. It's v different to park w & w/o poles. Practise > & u will be fine. Or u can consider getting an instructor to guide u to park w/o poles & other stuff not taught previously. Any thought of going for a class 3 licence later? I personally feel it's "> complete" to be able to drive a manual vehicle. We nvr know when the skill might come in handy.
