my mood's rather lifted yet slightly wistful whenever i think about smu's production of
honk! the musical. actually went there to support two friends, one's in the cast and the other's in the music crew (so happy for them. and how i wish i could have the chance to perform again. is it possible for architecture students to squeeze out time for performing arts? *very sad*)
it's [the musical] done rather marvellously, really awesome stuff for only $20. the acting by the cast, especially the cat, ida, ugly and the side characters lowbutt and queenie, oh and margaret chan's cameo. the person who played ida is real good.
everything's splendid, except the chorus singing is cannot-make-it to the discerning ear. my friend kept jabbing my sides and commented that two people who were supposed to sing the same note are 'a major 2nd apart'. can't the chorus just learn their notes properly. it's not some mass chorale singing thing that a mistake made by one person can't be heard very clearly :/
but anyway, actually i didn't really care about the lousy chorus singing when i watched the musical. the characters were so, lovable! that i keep thinking about the musical and characters even now!
rave rave rave!

ok, i finally uploaded some pics here... presenting the results of Operation Makeover My House!
behind me's the new colour of my wall!
this was the colour of the walls before. notice how it just can't match the colour of the pale peppermint green cupboards.
gotta clear up the areas around the walls, so i had to transfer all of my belongings to the floor :S
and my belongings left behind sticky dirty stuff on the floor!!! :@
lotsa dirt.
i removed some posters from my wall, stuck them with blu-tack. but i just couldn't remove all of it because they got trapped in the pits on the rough wall. not only that, but a part of the rough lining of the wall got peeled off in the process! O_o
it's the white patch of stuff on the top left hand corner of that photo above.
the peeled off part and what's underneath. imagine my stress.
ok, so i whitewashed the ugly orange walls first, with some help from mom as well.
samurai warrior to the rescue!
after 2-3 days of painting (which involved staying up till 2am one night) it's finally done!
ok i put up some posters to add some colour and contrasts to an otherwise bare wall. see how the wall matches with the posters and the zhong1 ruan3 case and brown racks on the floor!
i put back my two totoro posters on the wall. one day i'll draw something cool and graphic on the white wall, but for now this will have to do.
see, the green matches the cupboards much better.
improved! and the windows are actually purple in colour, if you can't see it clearly. nice right.
oh, the most unexpected lovely part of the room. my fan colour is complemented so wonderfully with the wall!!!! oh yea, that's my army bags in that corner. no space to fit them in cupboards.
jeff's present from egypt to me. i had to display it somewhere outside and airy and not in a cupboard, because the skin over its sound box started to ooze smelly liquid after a few days in a closet. see how it's floating magically from the wall? i actually used sewing thread to hang it up. heehee.
i'll post up a picture of the entire room, when i've cleared it up properly :P the room does look quite nice, if i don't clutter it up with stuff.
yay. success!! :)
