If There’re Seasons

Funny Picture for the day:


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Just came back from a musical presentation by a local Chinese drama group.

+"If There're Seasons"+

Saw alot of famous faces in the local scene there (Somehow, whenever I watch a play or a musical, there're bound to be some celebrities present too. Well, I guess, Singapore is a small country.) There's the founder of Creative, a tv news reporter, 2 tv former personnels and of course, Mr Liang Wern Fook himself.

Each song sung in the musical was worth every cent we paid. Those songs brought back memories of youth and childhood days, when local Chinese music pretty much play an important role to most of us who come from dialect or Mandarin speaking backgrounds. When put together, I had to admit that Liang Wern Fook is a superb lyricist. The words were well-written and addressed every aspect of life impeccably.

The lead actors were more outstanding then their female counterparts, although most of them are probably English-educated (their accent gave them away). Even Little Papaya of +"881"+ was in the cast too, but her role was more of a supporting one in a group.

All in all, I think it's kind of a pro-government policy musical :) Warm and saccharine sweet in some point. That, coupled with the score, allowed the audience to warm up to the entire musical. I am sure many in the audience were transported back to the time and places where they were engaged in some activity at the intro music of most of the songs.

I think you would like this musical if you are a Xinyao fan. The songs would bring back fond memories and leave you feeling nice and warm and snuggly inside.

Funny thing I noted during the performance.

There is a time of silence before the presentation begins. During this time, I heard alot of the audience clearing their throat. "It's as if the audience are getting ready to perform," I whispered to my friends on my left and right. And then we giggled. :D

2 guys, 3 gals altogether. Only one of them do not own a car (Me).

One of the friends spent (to date) $18K to spruce up her face. But I don't think the facials did any good to her. She should consider putting on make-up.

She need to spruce up her image, and her self-esteem. I do not think being innocent, blur or childlike is working for her. Not at that age.

Another reminder to myself: Look your age, behave your age. Be confident. It shows.

Oh. Thank you. :D

I better grow up, change is universal, and if I am constant, I'd be in big trouble. :)
