the phantom of the opera !!!!

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

well, 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
