last of hall life...
hmmm.. today is the 25th of april 2007... 1 sem of hall stay is going to be over realli realli soon... haiz... when i was walking to comm hall for breakfast juz now... this tot was dawned to mi suddenly...
even though i've missed alot of fun like orientation and the chit chats that they frequently have, i still think that hall stay is realli nice cos of the sense of independent living...
went through the routine of collecting breakfast.. went through the routine once more of asking, "aunty, 今天有什么包？" n then i wld definitely take curry bao if there is or 莲蓉包... of course, since they have the feedback on the food and the quality n choices of food increased TREMENDOUSLY, i've started taking things like conflakes w milk, chee cheong fun, even the rice taste soo much nicer now...
i'm going to miss saying hi in every corner i turn... though i'm not very close to these ppl, but at least i get to know them thru concert n dnd... activities that took up soo much of my time but have allowed mi to gain so much in return..

Phantom of the Opera...
if you can only watch 1 show... make this the one show that you watch... indeed... Phantom of the Opera is soo000OOOOOO good... MARVELLOUS... FANTASTIC... BRAVOMISSI...
wat enchanting music~ wat breathtaking props and settings~ wat powerful voices~ wat amazing effects~ who would have tot of such ways to present the scenes??
favourite parts:
1. the beginning part when the flashback started. the moment they pull off the cloth covering the chandelier, the fire boomed and the music of Hannibal penetrate the air.. * Deng........ Deng deng deng deng deng~* the anticipation of a great story of the phantom builds with the music... together with the music, is the uncover of the life-like statues of pillars... they used gold pillars to represent the grand theatre of the Paris Opera House where many great performances have lived before... the figures seem to be yearning to dance in the music... oO.. how i wish i can put the music down in words...
2. the mirror that is also the entrance to the secret hiding place of the phantom...
the clever use of lights also( but i manage to see the light at the bottom left of the mirror) ;D
3. the stage effects... when the phantom kills Joseph Buquet by strangling him on the stage when a ballet is being performed below... they could have jolly well made use of the change of scenes, or made use of the side stage.. wat they did was cleverer than this.... they made use of shadows of the phantom killing him... so while ppl might be unaware, the shadow shows the phantom's cruelty rather than merely implying it by dropping the body of Buquet...
4. the usage of stage lightings to cast the eerie atmosphere after the phantom found out that christine and raoul went to the rooftop to exchange the promises of their love for each other... the black and white of the dancers is the transition back to the actually scene of the stage... especially when they walk out of the area, their dresses became colourful again... what were the implications of these effects?? hmmm..
5. the chemistry between the phantom n christine... even though christine and raoul are suppose to be lovers, it seems that christine has better chemistry with the phantom instead.. by the mo-qi that they have when they sing duet... (in the moive, i like the love scene on the roof between raoul and christine.. but in this play, one of my fav scene is the duet between phantom and christine and mr daae's grave) the way that christine was hypnotised by phantom's voice... oo... it was so real... i was simply enchanted by the scene as well...
6. the last part when the phantom made sacrifice to let his love go after the kiss of, i'd say companionship that christine gave... such pain of the phantom was shown by his body movement... the way that he walked... as if that decision have killed him already.. which i guess, it had... his voice, his angel of music is gone forever... (i cried at that part.. but wat can i say, such brillant portrayal of the phantom by this great broadway actor, brad little)
hmmm... of course that are so much more things that i can say abt this play... phantom of the opera, the show that u have to watch,,, n if i have the money, i would definitely want to watch it for the second time, third time... if only i can engrave the memory of it in my mind forever...

stef's new album... 逆光
sun yan zi's album is finally out~ n i finally got the time to listen to the songs n look at the lyrics... hmm... this album is not as good as the last i feel... in fact... i feel that some changes should be done... like improving on the songwriting... her voice is still there... but the style seems to be off track... songs like 咕叽咕叽sounds weird... hmmm... like some others have suggested, maybe it's time for stef to start pouring some ink into her songs... however, there is this particular song in this new album that i really like... lyrics written by 姚若龙
almost moved me to tears...
我怀念的- 孙燕姿（逆光）
我问为什么 那个女孩传简讯给我
而你为什么 不解释 低着头沉默
我该相信你很爱我 不愿意敷衍我
还是明白你已不想挽回什么
*想问为什么 我已不再是你的快乐
可是为什么 却苦笑说我懂了
自尊常常将人拖着 把爱都走曲折
假装了解是怕 真相太赤裸裸 狼狈比失去更难受
我怀念的是无话不说 我怀念的是一起做梦
我怀念的是争吵以后 还是想要爱你的冲动
我记得那年生日 也记得那一首歌
记得那片天空 最紧的右手 最温暖的胸口 （谁记得） 谁忘了
我怀念的是无言感动 我怀念的是绝对炽热
我怀念的是你很激动 求我原谅抱得我都痛
我记得你在背后 我记得我颤抖着
记得感觉汹涌 最美的烟火 最长的相拥
谁爱的太自由 谁过头太远了
谁要走我的心 谁忘了那就是承诺
谁自顾自地走 谁忘了跟着我
谁让爱便沉重 谁忘了要给你温柔
（我怀念的） 我还有想爱你的冲动
我记得那年生日 也记得那一首歌
记得那片天空 最紧的右手 最温暖的胸口
我放手 我让座 谁懂我多么不舍得
太爱了 所以我 没有哭 没有说
