Cats: the Musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber.


I was expecting something similar to Phantom of the Opera since its also by him (and I didnt read any synopsis or whatsoever about Cats beforehand). It turned out to be totally different.

To be frank, I didn't like it. (It's not because I don't know how to appreciate these art thingys, I liked PotO okay..)

Perhaps it's because I didn't know what was going on most of the time; perhaps it's because I slept quite a bit during the performance; perhaps it's because I slept at 1+ last night and woke at 7 today and busied myself the entire morning. Lol.

The entire performance was composed of singing and dancing (obviously, that's why it's a dance-musical), and some of the lyrics I couldn't really hear. At one point when they were performing something for the old cat leader I nodded off for a bit, until that particular song was over. Hahas.

My favourite song of the musical - Memory, was performed a few times by different characters. It was nice that their singing styles were different; shows subtle differences in singing levels.

Entirely, the dance musical was really interactive, with cats prowled around the audiences' seats and the zilian cat getting the entire audience to cheer for him and clap for him lol. Best part I felt was unique to circle 1: a certain cat prowling at circle 1 after the intermission chased after this little girl, frightening her, making her scream. Lol. And he also attempted a "robbery" by snatching this woman's handbag, she looked back and saw him and everyone laughed. Hahas

Hmm. Next time I'm watching a musical I'm gonna have to read they're synopsis and whatnot first. I enjoyed PotO last time because I already knew what it was about from watching its movie.

Tahan Training yesterday. Kennsiang Rueben and Anthony recced this path from Braddell to MacRitchie (passing by Mediacorp) to RI to J8 to Bishan Park, where they did nians and had lunch, then on to AMK Ave 3 to Serangoon Gardens. According to them they attempted to kidnap from both the front and back at the Serangoon Gardens area, cos they were intending to dash trek and run in super detours. Don't know if they succeeded.

One j1 kena sprain, she said its old injury. Another caught flu last night and it seemed to have worsened, yet he came for training. In the end we forced him to sit with us at Serangoon Gardens Chomp Chomp where we bought drinks (at 7-11). Anyway Chomp Chomp wasn't open yet so we didnt eat any buffalo wings.

It started raining at around 3 or 4; they were having evaluation at this Serangoon Community Park and we (laolaos, some seniors and 2 injured/sick j1s) were still at Serangoon Gardens area. In the end they said to go to Serangoon MRT to seek shelter. So we stoned there...

After everyone came and after a nice long chat (j1s by themselves with some laolaos, j2s by themselves with some laolaos) J1s left followed by j2s and us. Weird quarrel between the infamous j2 couple, I dao anyway and we went j8 pizza hut. Crispy thin pizza is totally not worth it. It's hard and not really crispy and I think caoda and not filling. Mango surprise was rather nice though.

At 7 I left for weiqi, we went to TPY to do saigang for today's competition. And after saigang, James (SWA) treated us to pizza hut. Lol.

Sunday-- Toa Payoh East Weiqi Competition.
Its rather stupid. They're trying to squeeze 7 games for grp A into ONE DAY. And I don't think its called Fast Game Competition anyway.

So I was busy the entire morning counting territory, recording results, all that shitty judging things. Most interesting match I saw was between 2 girls (one from RIJC - black; the other dunno from where - white). White was winning like crazy. Then she raised her hand, I went over thinking they endgame liao. After I concluded that white won, black asked, "May I know why I lost?" Like so innocent liddat. So then I thot the game not over, since both parties haven't agreed. So I told them to continue playing. Both had around 3 mins left. After I walked away, both continued playing. Black was like, playing with one hand and pressing the clock with the other almost immediately after white plays, while white still put in some thought and took her time to press the clock. In the end white's time was up! So I got Hsien Yu over to see, explaining that Black was just randomly putting seeds and waiting for time. He concluded that Black was being stupid and ridiculous (with her protesting that they were playing ko) and decided White won anyway. HA.
Wtf. Shitty school for churning out shitty students who have shitty attitude and try to win by resorting to shitty dishonest means. Yirui and I agreed that we felt like giving her a slap for attempting to win like that.

I left at around 1, went to watch CATS at Esplanade with family. Heard that Yurika emerged champion for TPY!! Stunned. Anyway Congrats. :D

ARGH my last 35 hrs free before I enter tekong.

Hahas. Its been 13 days since I last blogged! Not yet one entire week, phew.

Finally! All my deadlines are past. NUS submission of supporting documents deadline: 1st April, NTU ADM submission of portfolio and assignments deadline: 1st April, SMU application deadline: 1st April. Wonder if its simply an April Fool's joke or what.

Anyway. I finished application and submission of everything for SMU on 31st March. Went down to Bras Basah to BBC to photocopy relevant documents, tried to get all my artwork photocopied. Unfortunately only the A3 stuff were successfully photostated; the larger ones were either too thick (collage) or too dark (that shop only had b/w; he said it would result in an all black paper if I photostated that particular charcoal sketch). Haiz.. in the end I could only take a photo of it and submit that photo. Lol. After photostating the relevant documents (and IC and results slip) I went to submit my stuff at SMU.

Yesterday 1 April, Mum fetched me to NUS and NTU to submit their required documents. NUS was near NP, still fine and we found the place (University Hall) really quick. NTU was like super far away, we took AYE up then turned at Pioneer Rd and went up, super ulu. Really don't feel like studying in NTU already. After we got to NTU, we nearly got lost there and finally found the place (student's service center) and I went to level 2 to submit stuff. THEN I found out I hadn't done the composition of "why I am uniquely qualified to enter to particular BFA course". Whats BFA anyway? Hahas. Anyway I stood there at their computer and just started crapping away about why I am qualified. Lame shit.

So when it was all done, mum sent me to Lornie Rd to take a bus to Holy Innocent's Primary.

Watched some concert at YMS yesterday, with kx. All violins and cellos, and even a sextet of violins violas and cellos. Quite nice overall. Kx got free tickets from his tutee so he asked if I wanted to go. His tutee performed the cello. Hahas quite imba anyway. At least, better than me. Dunno if she's better than my brother? Lol.
