I realized one of my dreams again....I booked myself a ticket to watch The Phantom of the Opera. Haha :) After almost 2 mths of performance, i finally got a ticket. Couldn't watch it earlier coz i arent sure of my schedule. Since i do not need to fly next wk, i just logon and bought a ticket to watch it. Hahaha :P Life is good.
Up to date, i have watched a number of performances: Miss Saigon, Forbidden City: The Portrait of an Empress...up to date, my fave was Forbidden City. I was so impressed that i watched it for 2 consecutive yrs. Kit Chan's melodious and powerful vocals captivated me and my senses.
Hope Phantom of the Opera would be another fantastic performance! :)

Have been back in SG for 1 week liao, simply love home and the smell of my bed. Hmmm.... being away for some time makes me miss and love my home more. Hahaha :P
Had bouts of post-bday celebrations since I was back, lotsa presents and dinners with my loved ones and these made me feel really blessed and fortunate.
The trip to Manila changed my perception about a number of things:
1. The people there are really warm and friendly, they would greet you at every instance (calling "Sir", "Maam", "Miss"..) and can banter at a smooth flow. Wow!
2. There is a security guard at every 10 steps I take. Even shopping malls and hotels and banks have security checks and guards at all entrances. I was surprised that there is even a security guard when i walked into Starbucks/Coffee Bean for a drink.
3. The food there is of international variety and I am spoilt for choice every meal time. Jap, Korean, Western, Chines, Viet...you name it and most prob they have it. Mind you, the standard is above avg and some are really tasty. I fell in love with Krispy Kreme there!!
4. Mango. Abundant supply of mangoes...in every form and dish. Mango juice, mango shake .. (read my previous post for a comprehensive list).
5. How fortunate SG kids are! On the road in Manila, whenever we stopped at a traffic light, childrens/kids would come up to your car and beg for money. I know that they r most prob controlled by a syndicate, but i felt really sorry for them and sometimes i would ask my driver to pass them a few pesos. Awwww....how lucky we are...so sheltered and well taken care of.
6. Weather is mild here. Ya....the weather in Philippines is scorching hot!! Temp can go as high as 36degC and even in the evenings, it still hover ard 29 - 32 degC. Scary and its so dry too, not a drop of rain or a light breeze...grrr....
Wonder when my next posting is....
