I actually went to watch Singapore Theatre. Can you believe that?? I actually went for the Singapore Theatre Festival held over the past three weeks. If it wasn't for my sisterworking as a wardrobe assistant and had complimentary tickets, I would not have gone for it. So anyway, flew down to PS after work to meet my mum then further flew down to the National Library cause the show started at 8.

Second Link. That's the name of the show that we were catching. And guess who I saw? Tan Keng Hua and Lim Kay Siew (Phua Chu Kang's rival contractor whose name I kinda forgot. What was it? Rocky? Rosie? Frankie? I dunno...) oh, and my Primary Three form teacher. Thank God she didn't see me. Or recognise me. Or whatever it was. I'm just thanking my lunky stars she didn't see me. I mean, when I saw herI was like darting around, frantically trying to hide myself behind my mum. But that's not the point. The main point is the show.
Second Link is a collaboration between Singapore and Malaysia, so there were two different parts put up by both Singaporean and Malaysian casts. It was a little too chim for me, and like loads of politics and stuff. I mean, there was a part where they were doing Lao Lee and the malaysian dunno what. Aiyah, some political leader for all I know. But there were the funnybits as well. Like in one scene, the Malaysian casts were talking about Singlish and there was a line:
Singlish is speaking English with Chinese vocabulary. Which is very true... =]
And then they go on to pretend to be learning how to speak Singlish. Quote: "Always begin a sentence with 'A...' and end off with a '...lah' or a '... leh'. If you want to swear, say 'wha liew'and if you want to exaggerate something, throw in a 'si beh' which means 'dead father'... "
When they said that, I was like laughing so hard my stomache hurt. HAHA. The second part was by the Singaporean crew which was chim and I didnt really understand it, besides the factthat they were like speaking in malay. But I love Karen Tan! She is like so funky! haha.. =D Some familiar names acting er... like Lim You Beng, the ah ma in PCK. What's her name I'm not sure...
So yeah. It was pretty good but I heard salsa salsa salsa was good too. Hmm.. Maybe I should watch more theatre..
