Ok i went for phantom last night $160 tickets. I'm sorry but i have to bitch a little about this. See cause cy's friend's sister bought these tickets already a long time ago, but wanted to watch another show. So she asked her brother=cy's friend to help sell them for her. And cy's friend, let's just call him K, told us that it was 160 for two tickets. So i was quite happy lah. 80 dollars a ticket, some more the shows all sold out for fri sat and sun. Then on thursday, when K met cy to pass her the tickets, he told her it was 160 each and i was like wtf! Haha but he admitted his mistake and offered to pay the extra 80 bucks, which i turned down of course. But yeah quite pissed lah, 80 bucks is a lot of money especially when you have shitty 350 a month pay.

Oh well, the seats were quite good. Stall seats, downstairs last row. The musical itself was not bad. I thought the props and costumes and the stage set were AMAZING. Especially the dropping chandelier, and the boat and the "river" and candles, and the phantom's lair. The phantom's voice was wonderful, and the two new owners of the opera house too; they were quite comical. On the other hand, the women's voices were a bit too high for me lah, couldn't really make out the words they were singing. And Christine, the main girl, her voice.. How to say.. shakes i guess, but in a strong way. As in, she repeats the syllables a lot when holding the note? Ah I've got no musical background so ignore me. When cy had to explain to me what an aria ensemble was i was like huh?

Anyways most of the guys got their posting. congrats on those who made it to ocs and sispec.. for the rest.. well at least your life will be more interesting than my storeman life. haha.

cheers
