this is my 143th post.. 143 *pregnant pause* is not a prime number.. it kinda felt like one, until i started punching my calculator.. and 143 is the number of a bus which goes near dbs arts centre.. see, i learn something new every day, yay..

speaking of dbs arts centre.. today i went there for like the very first time and got a bit lost.. well for surprise, surprise, west side story.. okay so the good or the bad.. okay lah bad first.. i really didnt expect the stage to be so small, and the whole place to be that small actually.. dont think it was big enough for them, especially the large group stuff.. but the smallness also made it feel kinda intimate lah.. not like when i watched it last year i was like miles away on the stage and i tried using binoculars (dunno how to spell) (yes, binoculars.. stop laughing.. ) yar and i couldnt decide whether to use or not to use cos they either were too big or too small.. anywaysanyways.. i figure the cast was chosen not for their singing or their dancing but for their dramatic abilities (?).. i thought the dancing would be like omg, what on earth is this, cos of all that my sisters said about rajs coreography and all.. but considering all that, it was okay lah.. it didnt particularly disrupt the flow.. (but maybe its because its closer to his style?) anyways, all the little details were a problem i guess.. everything needed to be tighter and all.. and the singing, okay what can i say.. whatwith the synthetic-sounding music too.. :/ oh yes, and the accents too.. their drama training kinda keeps on leaking out cos its like sometimes they slip in and out of the immigrant sort of accent? its quite funny lah if you think about it.. anyways. on to the good stuff.. some of them kinda managed to capture it, okay lah but some didnt lah.. but anyways i think the person who really shone was glory as anita.. yesyes her performance was not entirely pitch-perfect but it was goodgoodgood.. *cheers* another person who pulled their role off quite well was elina lim as rosalia.. yeah i found her name in the programme after no small amount of searching.. haha i remembered her as the curly-haired person.. i guess the places which i really liked were the high-energy parts involving practically everybody.. especially the dance.. yeah that was nice.. ohoh and what i really loved too, was the ending.. i guess everybody was at their very best there, when the singing and the dancing is stripped away, and theyre simply doing what they do best.. omg, i simply love feeding off the raw emotion.. (i think maybe some of them are a bit young to carry off the roles effectively or maybe not enough time but who cares lah.. ) yay yay i loved the ending.. oh haha the indulgent extras at the end were quite fun too.. all in all good effort guys.. *applause*

you know what, i havent felt so relaxed in such a long time.. lalala.. there goes my not-very-long weekend.. i figured calling it long would be kinda wrong cos by definition of long weekend would probably include something longer.. oh why must monday come so soon..

anyways. lately the stairs leading up to hume ave have gone and spoilt themselves again.. which is a good thing, i guess.. i kinda forgot to look up at the stars after they started working once and for all.. and i realised that the full moon has just passed.. you know i read somewhere that cos of the mysterious pull of the moon then people do weird things.. like theres abnormally large numbers of crimes like rape and i dunno weird stuff happening on full-moon nights.. i was just wondering what weird stuff has been going on this last full moon.. the full moon is like super bright lah (assuming no cloud cover).. last time the lights were spoilt (again) and i was like, how come i still can see my way.. then i realised it was the full moon.. haha does pagan moon worship still exist..?

and see? nice big paragraphing.. yay.

Bonjour. Si vous voulons me chercher, vous êtes venu au faux endroit.
