Yay! Forbidden City is totally Singapore's best artistic achievement! My $72 was totally worth it, if not for the show alone, for photo opportunities with Sg Idols (jonathan, hady, jasmine), Kit Chan, Hossan Leong, and of course their autographs! :D

I was so looking forward to the evening...planned exactly what to eat (salmon sushi + wang wang milk drink :D)
yea, so after being hardworking for the whole afternoon, I started getting ready at 5.45. Was supposed to meet Ceci at 6.15pm. At 6.10, I started turning the house upside down trying to look for my ticket. I faintly remembered seeing it somewhere in one of my bags. Well...could've saved myself the trouble by calling my secretary to ask which bag I carried when we went to get the tickets in the first place (which is what I did in the end ;) )

So, we had a nice time going down to Raffles City, poking fun and policemen and dreaming up weird things to do. I had my delicious well planned meal and we made fun of even more people while waiting for Noel.

Finally, after he showed up and finished gushing about how hot some guys he met on the way were, we made our way to the esplanade.
There was a Chinese instrumental group playing in the concourse. We immediately sat down to listen. (Noel thought we had been joking when we said "lets listen to them"...) Man, its been so long since I've heard Chinese music. Brings my thoughts back to Chung Cheng where walking out of school, one could hear the tinkle of a yangqin, the strings of a pipa, the light notes of the dizi, or even the screeches of a souna.

After reminiscing enough, we went up to the roof garden to take pictures. Sg can be quite beautiful if one knows where to look.

Inside the theatre, we were in the last row of the ground floor. It was a good view and a nice change. I could actually see the intricate details of the costumes, the wonderful set design and the expressions of the actors...compared to the tiny dots of ants I saw 3 years ago.
Other than a few technical glitches where the microphones didn't work, some parts where dancers were a little off bet, and Kit Chan's screeching/shouting in one part where she was supposed to be singing (she managed to hit the note beautifully 3 years ago), it was really really really good. But probably I'm more critical this time, having been more exposed to music and theatre. And was noticing tiny details instead of enjoying the musical as a whole.

We saw the idols during intermission. This really loud gasp came out from me as I saw Jonathan walking past. Haha, he heard it and walked over. We shook hands and took pictures. We then waited for our senior (jasmine) to come out of the toilet to take pictures with her. Ha, in our excitement, we kinda forgot about Hady. So poor him was standing at the side, trying not to look too dejected. But we made up for it by looking for them to give Hady some attention after the whole thing :p

We then waited for about 15 minutes for Kit Chan to come out. She's really cool. While waiting we got the priviledge to talk to Wenfu. (He's doing arrangement for acsian theatre productions, so Ceci knows him) He's really nice...and through our short convo I got a little insight into the workings of the music behind productions. It was really cool.
