Drama Center
8pm
8pm
I saw Rodney Oliverio few hours ago :) So happy :P Ok ok... I saw him on stage la.. along with Yeo Yan yan , Jonathan Lim and Joakim Gomez to name a few. Yup, boys and girls...I was at the Drama center, watching Chesty Nutty Bang Bang: the hairspray of the phoenix ( the name si beh long ah :x)
It was my 2nd time watching Chestnuts, with the first being last year :) (Eek, to think that i missed so many other years ones ) So I was kinda looking forward to it and had some sort of an expectation.
Basically the cast did a lot of spoof of the local theater scenes as well as some of the popular recent movies. I particularly love the 881 segment and they actually changed Rihana's Umbrella into a hokkien song! I love that one... Oh, and how can I forget the Ribena "what are you drinking..can i have some ' advertisement ~! So cute :) Yes, it was worth every bit of my $17 ticket, though some parts I dun get it lah..coz some movies me no watch lah. The opening scene wasn't too bad..poking fun at the MDA mgt. video (the one with the horrible rap..search 'mda' in youtube)
Overall, it was a fun production and lots of sexual innuendos which is usual of a chestnut play.

Chinatown 1pmTrue enough, it was people mountain people sea today~~
Went shopping for new year stuff with my aunt at People's Park. We braved our way through the crowd and managed to walk 2-3 lanes at the Chinatown CNY market. I realised how similar these stalls are when it comes to the things being sold. So there isn't much of a point to finish walking thorughout those stalls.
Were you stuck in one of these queues too ?
There were at least 5 of such queues scattered over Chinatown ~
yeah..the last minute rush to get those juicy, oily, delicious you can't stop at just one piece bar kwa! Well, if you haven't bought yours yet, then u better have time and money to spare. The bar kwa index are on the rise...with prices hovering around $48-$50. It seems like 'fun' to these people to wait in a queue for bar kwa..

Aunt and I stopped by this dessert shop after lunch . This place is very popular and recently was featured in one of the food programme on ch 8
the menu
Mango and pomelo --very good! fresh ...
one of their star dessert!
My aunt ate the sesame paste
Mickey and Minnie were spotted in Chinatown :)
Shall stop here for now. I have to embark on my spring cleaning. Piles of clothes are sitting in various corners of my room..waiting for me to pack them.
* it's almost 6pm....i am still packing.. done with the store room..still in the midst of clearing out clothes I hardly wear and 'i simply had to buy something for the day ' clothes ( some which I only wore once) faint .
Still quite stress..had a stressful weekend..minus the 3 hours spend watching chestnuts. It's really not easy working with someone who is a perfectionist..not to mention demanding at times. okay..back to my cleaning..Ciao*

Hey Eileen :) You like Rodney?? He's quite cute huh. We were theatre classmates in the U. He's not much of a talker, or then again, maybe he only talks to the chicks in the class! haha...
