A Musical Night (and other stories)

Ever since I saw the movie Mamma Mia! a couple of years ago, I fell in love with the songs, and I itched and itched to see the musical someday.. And guess what! I finally did!

Ok, I'm super lazy to do anything in Photoshop now (for example, editing the poster so that it looks less boring), hence I randomly Googled an image and hey, I'm satisfied with it. Either you like it or you burn. Grrr.

Anyways, back to praising/criticizing the musical! I'll start of with the pros.

Pros

* Cast was alright. Quite good, actually.

* The outfits for Donna and the Dynamos are pretty awesome.. :D I like Donna's outfit the best. Pity it's in green..

* Hilarious. Hands down the funniest musical I've ever been to. Although, I must admit, I've only been to like what, a handful of musicals. So this doesnt count I guess. Hehe.

* Orchestra was awesome. Especially the electric guitar. The music was nice and clear and really well presented.

* Oooh, the cast of the musical actually interacted with the conductor of the orchestra (one very brief moment). I think it's super cute. Now that I've never seen before..

Cons

* The set and props were, dare I say it, pathetic.. Could have been LOADS better. Still, perhaps simplicity is the best? Meh, it really could have been better.

* I'm sorry, but that Sky dude cant really sing.. He's like that dude in Wicked! Ah, how I laughed when that dude sang his duet with Elphaba. Elphaba TOTALLY drowned him out, the poor thing.

* Really. The set could have been improved. Two pieces of wall-things are not enough!!

* THE SET, THE SET. :O

Well, that's pretty much it. My evaluation of Mamma Mia! - A Musical. -bows-

Oh, so in conclusion, I rate Mamma Mia! a..

3/5

Not too shabby yeah? I'm pretty generous.. :D

So! For other updates on my life.. Hmm..

I started Uni a few days back. In fact, today (as in Wednesday) is only my third day.. And I feel. I feel..

I dont know what I feel. -,-

Well, obviously I was totally freaked out the night before my first day. In fact, I ACTUALLY had trouble sleeping. Me! Pati! Of all people, I have trouble sleeping? Oh look, the sky is turning pink with streaks of glitter outlining the clouds!

Pfft! Besides being known as The Queen of P, I am also The Queen of Cheepy!! Well, Queen of Cheepy the Second, seeing Takara shall always be the original one.. -,-

Anyways. First day of Uni was seriously intimidating. When I first set foot into my Modern Asia lecture hall, I felt like dying. Still, I survived that (ULTRA BORING) lecture and (EQUALLY BORING) tutorial. I met two girls, but I felt as if we lacked the enthusiasm to really get to know each other.. So I sat alone like a little wooden puppet. God, I detest Mondays.

Tuesday was a little better. I met up with Emelia, as we are having the exact same lecture together.. It was nice seeing her again, after a whole long month. Ahh, Meme never changes. XD I then had lunch with one of my old classmates, and he introduced me to a Vietnamese girl. She was real friendly, and I found out that we had the same tutorial!! Finally, I have someone to talk to..

Now THAT tutorial was rather fun. I panicked a little when I heard that we need to have black markers for that particular tute, and that we have to DRAW. Wtf, I cant draw!!

We had a little 'Quickie', and I drew the world's most pathetic looking car stuck onto an equally pathetic looking wall. -,- My, am I in trouble..

Still, despite all that, I managed to have a little fun with the people in my group.. I dare say that I actually enjoyed myself in that tute.. WOW, amazing right? I thought I would hate anything and everything.

Today was.. Alright I guess. I was the only Asian chick in this entire class of Ang Mors. Well, I sat next to this nice girl who is half Asian.. We talked a little and there were times where we sat in awkward silence for a bit..

This making-friends-thing is not really going well for me..

And HOORAY!! Thursdays are my off-days, so I get to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING tomorrow! How fun!

Wish me luck for Friday, I'll freaking need it. One more lecture and tute to go, and this week is OVER. But no!! MONDAY WILL BE COMING SOON.

-whimpers-

Blogged with love and sadness,

Pati
