"Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easliy angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails."
1 Cor 13:4-8
"Ideal love is fostered only between two sincere, mature and independent people.
It is the inner struggle to polish these attributes that is the key. Real love is not two people clinging to each other; it can only be fostered between two strong people secure in their individuality."
-Ikeda Sensei, Wisdom of Words

Caught forbidden city on tues evening!
it was absolutely fantastic!
i've always enjoyed musical plays.
the way they change the sets, the music and the script.
for forbidden city:portrait of an empress, their sets didn't really change much.
but the singing by the actors & actress and the story overwhelmed the sets.
Music by the conductor was excellent too. I loved the opening piece & the one sang by kit chan(my only chance).
Kudos to dick lee.
Performance by Kit chan (yehenara) and Sheila Francisco (empress dowager) were excellent.
Their vocals were strong, emotional and passionate!
At the end of the play, they received much applause from the audience!
The funny duo of record keepers - hossan leong & sebastian tan!
They input so much laughter in the play.
Everyone enjoyed the little funny acts that they did.
It was no surprise that they received much applause at the end.
This is one excellent piece that you all shouldn't miss.
Although there were many primary school kids in the audience and I was sitting in the cat 3 seats, I enjoyed it tremendously!
Worth all my $54 bucks.
Oh, our tickets got us free drinks at Indochine:Forbidden City at Clarke Quay.
So we took a cab to the place.
I was full of awe when I entered and took my seat.
The majestic stone statues of the marshals & sleazy settings were good contrast.
And the crystal chandelier among them. Cool!
The concept they had was great & I have no complaints with the service.
We were having free wines (i had white wine) and
we were treated like any other important guests.
The finger food (roast duck) we ordered was yummylicious!
It was a great day!
Excellent play, food & drink!
we should all support local production!
they have good potential!
Catch it asap before they drop the curtains at the end of sept!

why is it always about the numbers?
time.
money.
weight.
height.
waist line.
chest size.
theatre seats.
phone numbers.
date.
4d.
toto.
and the list continues.
the world just revolves around numbers...

a little quiz ..
| You Are A Poplar Tree |
 People tend to look up to you, and it's a bit lonely at the top. Inside, you are not always self confident, but you show great courage. Mature and organized, you are reliable in any situation. You tend to have an artistic or philosophical outlook on life. You are very choosy in love and take partnership seriously. |
gotten this from a friend's blog.
thought it's pretty interesting.
i don't know if people look up to me.
but i am seriously sure that i don't have that much of self confidence.
i do, always, try to put up a brave fight.
this sounds so much of a big ego.
and i must say, this ego of mine has gotten me into trouble pretty often.
sometimes i just do things that are stupidly senseless.
what the hell is wrong with me.
:: dawn tan :: at 12:16 AM the perfect one
Can one ever be perfect?
No matter how near the person is to perfection, i am certain there are some flaws.
A leopard never changes its spots.
How can one change for the better?
Time may say something.
In fact, time says everything about a person.
Whenever we see someone better, we compare.
Comparison is good & bad.
It helps to check if you are good enough.
But, it 'kills' someone too.
Often and then, we think about ourselves and our contributions to the people around us.
Have i been nice enough?
Have i been understanding enough?
But, most importantly,
Have i tried?
It takes someone to compliment or criticise to realise how
your character has changed or evolved.
It's not easy to accept.
But if you don't take it into consideration or think about it,
you'll hardly change.
Change is constant.
Constant changes are necessary.
I shall accept changes with an open mind.

I have finally decided to catch this theatre with a friend of mine.
So excited about this theatre.
I missed it the first time round, and i shall not miss it again!
this would be my 3rd visit to esplanade theatre.
my first visit was to watch oliver twist.
and i love it, although we were sitting all the way at the back at level 4.
second visit was to watch the sound of music with dear. and i love it even more.
And now,
it is to watch forbidden city!
I don't know what's in the house, but I can expect it to be fantastic!
I still remember why I enjoy watching theatre..
I was so engrossed in the first play - Chang & Eng during secondary school.
Watched it at Kallang Theatre.
Though the seats were uncomfortable, I was enjoying the dance, singing & stage play.
Brilliant!
From then on,
I try to watch music theatres whenever I have the extra cash.
Hah. Then I watched Miss Saigon!
That was one of a brilliant piece too. So glad that I didn't miss it.
But these plays are so expensive.
I mean, now there is student price & discounts, so it is still quite affordable.
They should make it more affordable to students so that we can enjoy such plays with better seats.
Ah. Can't wait for 26 Sept! :P
