WILD DUCK…LAO JIU..4:48 PSYCHOSIS!

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

Mood     : Enlighthen         Music     : "Weighted Wanted" by Hypercubes

So the very first thing I was exposed to this mornin, like literally 7.45am was WILD DUCK by Henrik Ibsen. Boy was it chatty and long winded. Finally I reached ACT 3 and the revelation or the heartbeat of the play was revealed. The story of a wild duck which is winged (shot at the wings) and you keep it locked in an attic and feed it fresh water. Sooner or later, it will just settle down and forget bout the open sky and waters. Hit me pretty hard in the face. Aren’t we all like the wild duck. "People" take away our wing (freedom) and condition us to live a supposedly "better life" and we settle down and completely ignorant but the reality of things…

And then I read on Lao Jiu by Kuo Pao Kun as the seniors did their rehearsal. Was following thru and I could easily relate to the Asian mentality when it comes to the ARTS. This 4 letter word seems to be a taboo in a lot of Asian families. I was definitely emphatizing for Lao Jiu/ You Wei!

8.30pm came and I was at KLPAC for Gavin’s directorial project of 4.48 Psychosis by Srah Kane. Boy, was I glad to see my R.AGE article being posted at the main entrance for all who care to read. Muahahaha….MELISSA! Go look out for it.

Anywayz, Phychosis was rather disturbing, I’m glad I TRIED to relate to the story which means, the good news is, I aint that psycho. I believe everyone of us have a dark crazee side. Mine isn’t that dark lar so there were parts which I completely gave up. Other than that, I think this is one of Gavin’s coolest piece. Dark as usual but edgy and cool. Worked for me lar especially the lights n the way the characters were formed!

MORNIN DIM SUM - GERMAN DINNER

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

Mood     : Filled              Music     : "Gimme More" by Britney Spears

Wanted to have unique breakfast today so mom suggested we have dim sum. Not sure where got good dim sum around PJ so gave our very helpful Ms. Adeline Chew a call and she led us to SS13. Da place is called Unique Seafood next to Ah Yat Restraunt. Da menu was rather costly so we din’t order much. but when we got the bill, to our utter surprise, all dim sum dish were HALF PRICED. Should have ordered more Siu Loong Pau. Da food was really tasty and delicious. One drawback though, its halal. But I encourage everyone to try once, its really good.

Went home, chill and rest and next thing we know, it was time for dinner. Dad suggested we try German food. Bavaria Bierhaus at Da curve. One of it’s kind in da city and serves authentic German cuisine. We had German Pork Knuckles and Bratwurst sausages. It was huge but extraordinary scrupmtious. So well rosted to perfection. Tried German beer and it’s quite different from the Heinekenss we drink. It’s heavier but much sweeter. Shoudl go there chil lwith frens for once.

P/S: Melissa & Joe, care to try out?
