the phantom of the opera !!!!
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERAwell, i thought that since this entry is gonna be mostly talking about the smashin' hot musical that i just went to, i must, ya know, make it look, old fashioned, font wise.
went to look for a lap top cover just now at sim lim square and almost died trying to find an inexpensve yet nice one. it turns out, both the nice ones and the common ones are almost of the same price. think 40 bucks and above. total rip off i tell you.
so i decided to go to bugis street to look for a new pair of shoes, and found them ! dear seemed quite impatient when it comes to me buying shoes, and why is that so? i admit, i take like, a few decades to decide on a pair of shoes that i want. serious, i'm that selective when it comes to just buying a pair of shoes.
after getting a pair of striking white pair of heels ( i had some trouble deciding on tkhe white and red,but then again), dear brought me to funan IT mall to try our luck at the lappy cover again. sooner then i thought, i found one ! shock prove and all, but in the most common of colours, black. dear said that maybe i should get some fabric paint and paint it so in a way, it'll be uniquely mine. but the problem is, i'm not the most artistic person around, and i CANNOT draw to save my life. i admit, the only thing i know how to draw now, is stick people and a pig.
well, we went to the esplanade after that and realise we're like one hour early before the show even starts. boh of us have never been to an musical before and thus tried to look like we go for musicals everyday, except that we failed quite badly.
as soon as we were let in, we had no idea that we are not suppose to go directl into the theatre, but have to wait outside. so yea, we walked right in and saw some behind-the-scenes, like people setting up the stage and stuff. well, we are'nt the only ones let in early, so we concluded that there should be people seated already, but looking around, there was'nt a single soul.
we almost rotted while waiting for the doors to open and then i noticed something about those people streaming in. most of the ladies are dressed in their evening gowns. i'm serious, they did not say there was a dress code. so there i was, in a mango tank top and jeans. another thing i noticed, most of them carry branded handbags, so at least i do not lose out totally since i was tottling my chanel handbag.
the opera was too good to be true. i'm serious ! its c'est manifique!
the cast, the ballerina and even the idiotic prima donna, they all look too splendid for words. i think it must have been the stage make up or something because they do not look as good in the programme booklet. i wonder if i look that good when i was on stage. and the sound of wood in the point shoes of the ballerinas, knocking against the wooden stage, oh, i missed that sound.
i cannot believe that people can have such powerful voices, they were totally not using any microphones and yet they sing loud enough for the whole theatre to actually hear them quite loudly. and the special effects,my gosh, they actually used smoke to imitate the phantom's lake. it was overall, very very extremely beautiful.
well, here are the pictures that i promised. i could'nt take any photos well i'm in the theatre but here are some to show.
well, thats me posing for the camera
don't you just love that old victorean ambience??
well, me again,caught in a very unglam fashion
i'm actually trying to show how the inside of the theatre looks like
the stage and the chandelier
the view form my seat
this is where i was seated
the stairway to heaven
yupz, the giant poster outside the esplanadewell, that's it. i tried to take as many as i can already. getting late, i still left like half an hour for my beauty sleep. nite y'all
love

its time i got more school-spirited
ABOUT DANCE AND CHEERLEADINcrap, to hell with my internet connection. well, i actually finished blogging one entry already. but the stupid internet disconnected, thus, i cannot save my draft nor publish it, and i blogged and damn good and tok kong one lorz. crap, i got so pissed that i don't want to blog until now. seriously, it pissed me off big time lorz.
ok, i'm not going to re-write what ever i wrote that day, i can't remember like more than half of what i have written. i'll just write those i can remember.
i joined as usual, a dance cca in my new school. i joined social dance, but its not the one that rich aunties in singapore go to the community centre to dance de. my social dance is actually salsa. yes, the hot latino one. oh yea. and i pulled my classmate kelvin to join me. haha
apart form social dance, i also joined cheerleading.yes, I JOINED CHEERLEADING ,so? i think its time for me to become more school-spirited. yea right, i was thinking more of bring it on when i joined it as a cca. yea, short skirts and being all bimbotic. and yea, i pulled kelvin and russell to join me and felicia. but they swore they will not go for the try-outs. who cares, their names are down in the registration. so , yea, ya guessed it, kelvin being a cheerleader has become the joke of my class. hell yea, thanks to me.
ho, i've gotten a new sista sista le. yepz, and that is ......... racheal aka russell !!!! well, we agreed on going for retail therapy together and stuff, ya know, girls stuff. girls, don't think he is gay ok, even though he is my sista, he is still very eligible. oh, he is so gonna kill me.
ooh, i just realised that i'm going to watch the phantom of the opera tomorrow. oh yea, i've got one of the best seats in the house. can't wait man, time seem to move super fast la. its like in december when i bought the tix and still thinkin 'wad the hell, still got so long' and yea, tomorrow's the show. i'll try to get pictues of the show alright?
know what people? i am blogging in the middle of a lesson. well, i'm not saying that i am cool or anything. just tryin to express my appreciation to republic poly of giving us so much freedom as to allow students to msn in class. crap, i seriously don't know what i am talking about.

first day of sch in rp !!
yay !! today is the first day of school ! haha. don't i just sound like a primary school kid? haha.but seriously, today is my first day of school in a polytechnic,and yes,i'm attendin my first lesson now. so yupz, i'm online even though i'm in class.
oh ya, i forgot, i'm now studyin in republic polytechnic,and seriously, i know of people who chose this school as their first choice. i'm not sayin i do not like my school,i do, it seriously changed my point of view of the school during the orientation. i'm just saying that rp is kinda havin an image problem. everybody thinks that it is the worst poly in singapore,but seriously, i do not savvy to that. not because i'm a student of that school,i'm not being biased,but this school is really good. the campus is really nice, environmentally friendly, extremely big library,lotsa place to hang out,big swimmin pool(not as if i'm gonna swim in it), interestin ccas,fully air-conditioned campus,good food and good lookin people. i'm not just siding my school,i don't have to ,because i think the school rocks !
alright enough of my school. just returned from break and lecture so ya know, my train of thoughts has been broken. damn it. anyway, what was i talkin ?
oh ya, watched 'The Reaping' and 'Shooter' last week. both are nice in their own way,but 'The Reaping' is more of my kinda movie. i think the small girl ,laura,who was suppose to be believed devil,but supposedly angel is soooooo pretty. i mean, serious,she has very beautiful eyes.
'Shooter ' was alright,since the guy who acted in it was quite cute and has such a hot bod ! haha. but sadly,no kissing or sexual scenes,which kind off brought down the value of the movie.
heard that the government is going to have a pay rise. but its really none of my business. unless, it affects the economy in way that it affects me, like my parents or boyfriend will get a pay cut.
speaking of pay and boyfriend. i am somewhat mortified that dear is not getting a pay increase when all the other new recruits are. so now, recruits are only paid $50 lesser than dear. simply outrageous, since dear has worked hard to be what he is now, totally unfair.
speaking of unfairness, my facilitator just showed us a table, showing that guys are being paid more than women, which is in a way unfair. but thinking about it, guys have to spent 2 years in the army with only meagre pay(unlike now after the pay increase),during than which woman have already saved enough. furthermore, i feel that guys who have finished army are in a way more mature and responsible, compared to the former.so in way, employers trust them more. but think about all those good for nothing ah peks, some only 40 plus and already they have a big belly and wasting their life away sitting in coffeshops. think about it.
i think i shall stop here, since, while my group mates are doing a powerpoint presentation, here i am blogging.so yea, i shall be fair and help out.
love;
