Magical TurnAbout-- Let Me Spin A Tale, A ThouSaNd LighTs, A StaGe as Grande

Saturday, December 08, 2007

The past week, especially thurs is really a bad bad week for me... Totally bogged down by the projects, the unpleasant happenings in my life and the mishaps and throw in some super bad medicine (can't believe it... After a week and I still have yet fully recover and the flu is not gone... ). Yes, so all in all a really bad moment for me.

And, today... finally things changed and the skies cleared. I am in a really good mood even my proj is still yet to be done... I know my piece of good news might not even be anything to any of you but whatever... it's the best for me!

1. 5566's 4TH ALBUM AND NEWEST ALBUM IS COMING OUT ON 4 JAN 2008. PRE-ORDERING STARTS TODAY AND THEY ARE COMING ON THE 17 DEC FOR AUTOGRAPH SESSION. I heard their new songs online and see them boogey to the tunes, with slick and fabulous dance steps, which is quite different from their previous albums... It even won rave reviews in youtube comments page.... after 2 years plus of not having a new album... imagine the wait! And, now you know why this piece of news totally raised my spirits! But, I am still waiting to pre-order...

2. The best Christmas present: The theatre play by Dream Academy Playhouse - A Crazy Christmas. Just watched this like a few hours ago at The Drama Centre. It's a concert with no plot and no storyline. So, you might think it's just some christmas carolling and all but lo and behold.. IT'S NOT! The cast of 10 which includes Selena Tan, John Lee, Lim kay Siu, Pam Oei, Robin Goh, Tan Kheng Hwa, Lim Yu Beng, Sebestian Tan, Denise Tan, Lim Shi-An and finally.... HOSSAN LEONG! This guy, stand-up comedian and acclaimed actor is totally rave-worthy and definitely one to go ga-ga over... When you see him take the stage and even when he doesn't sing and just plain talk is so engaging and captivating. He's a star upon himself and this guy belongs on stage! Look at how he twists and turns, exaggerated hand movements and totally cool vocals...I can only say: throw this person at any sad, weeping soul and viola! I bet the person will be spinning in no time... How can someone be so at home on stage? That's the power of theatre. The Live! And, that's also the reason why i would rather cash in over-the-top amount on a play than on a concert by my favourite pop star! I have no explanation but it's just that. Be there and you would understand the difference in the ambience.
The play is a concert and the songs are not carols but jazz, pop, rock and everything else... I am not bias in saying this but they should totally have a soundtrack because it totally beats any Christmas singles or albums out there... The festivity is in the air, the mood is 'woah' and you get to see all the familiar faces in the local theatre scene all in one night, one play.... If it;s not for a sold-out one tomorrow night, I would have gone again to catch them in action and see them bring the house down! Anytime, for Hossan, the best comedian and my favourite theatre star!
I am so going to catch The Dim Sum Dollies re-run next year... but yea, gonna save up starting now... Argh, such a theatre bug... Sometimes, i wonder what it will be like being up there and doing all these... The feeling of stage, the presence of real audience and the proximity of the stage...
I'm Loving it...

ok, totally raving post... but, well, still in the mood because I just came back from the play.. haas.

Anyway, now that I feel so christmasy, I shall be a little cliche and do up a wish list:

- my dear 5566 album
- MatchBox Twenty album
- Bluelist 2008 travel Book
- watch Dim Sum Dollies
- Tour Singapore on Christmas Eve
- For all the projects to end (which is impossible)
- To have dinner at Fullerton WaterFront at night
- To be happy and not be sick again
- To meet Santa ( a childhood wish)
- To take beautiful pictures
- Just to be out and really enjoy myself for one night

Ok, it doesn't make sense but still...
just ignore this post!

Beauty in the eye of the beholder;
