man of letters..

Man of Letters, a NUS Centennial musical, was my first local musical, after The Wedding Banquet and The Broadway Musical that featured Willy Yang.. haha.. back to the musical, i think this is quite a well-done performance, considering that it's a local production, and not forgetting all the big shots involved in this production.. local music talent Dick Lee, music director Iskandar Ismail, Emma Yong, Robin Goh, Lim Kay Siu and Neo Swee Lin.. =)

inspired by Dr Arthur Lim's From a Doctor's Diary, this is Dick Lee's first romantic musical and i must say that his composition has indeed touched me a little.. haha.. the big cast with all the experienced singers and theatre actors has also made this musical a recommendable one.. haha..

although there were little glitches (like how Robin Goh always goes off-tune when he starts singing the first sentence of Dear Roseanne), it was still quite an enjoyable musical to watch.. the orchestra was good too.. and there was a harp playing too!! wow.. besides, i had the good seat eh.. haha.. second row with unblocked view.. whee~.. haha.. and it was free!! haha.. we got free tickets yesterday during the orchestra practice, and so i invited biyun, aline and waipeng to come watch the musical too.. hehe..

and i find the programme "booklet" quite creative, as it was in a form of newspaper.. suits the theme, and cost-saving too.. haha.. and then i realised that my ex-mentor-cum-boss when i was working in Singapore National Eye Centre Dr Adrian Koh is one of the committee members for this musical.. both him and Dr Arthur Lim are opthalmologists and they work in the same clinic.. hehe..

and so after the musical, me, aline and waipeng went holland v for early dinner at NYDC, with a bit of catching up to do.. haha.. and then.. ... ...



ice cream at Haagen Dazs!!

but the ice cream scoops were pathetically small.. not worth the money.. might as well buy a cone or a pint =(.. shall go somewhere else for ice cream the next time..

oh thanks biyun, for the cute little volcanic rock foot scrub from korea.. hehe.. will put that into good use.. haha..
