I went to watch Rent the musical this afternoon.

It was DAMN good!

Well ok, so the audio system was not fantastic, and sometimes the music was much louder than the voice of the stars..

But it was DAMN wonderful!!!

Oh ok, so I mentioned it earlier.

The issues raised... ya ok, so now topics like homosexuality are very common, but I think what really stood out was the message that no matter who or what you are, in whatever social class, we are all human. We all go through the same problems, tackling our insecurities, fears, handle the delicate thing called love, death... only thing is, some people are stronger, able to face up to those scary issues in life, take them on, and fight them well. One thing which stage performances do very well, in my personal opinion, is to bring out, show it so clearly to the audience, the raw energy that fuels human life. And when you add on music, good lyrics... it can really touch you... well, at least it touched me.

I was bloody getting all teary-eyed lah! Certain bits here and there, I would feel tears swelling up in my eyes, and I'll be silently cursing and swearing, chiding myself for being so silly... especially bits when Angel died, when Mimi came to say goodbye, the last scene with the dying Mimi and Roger sang 'I should tell you I have always loved you'... yes I know, I'm a bloody sucker for such stuff... as much of a cynical old bitch I may be

Of course there were some very nice scenes... like the bit when Mimi asks Roger to light her candle. And gosh... Angel looked sooo good, and really so female... the love scenes between her and Collin, she looked so blissfully happy and in love; damn good actor. And who can forget the 'Over the Moon' performance? My audience actually moo-ed along with her when she asked them to.

And Karen Mok... she did perform well next to those Broadway people... she held her own very well.. proud of her, fellow Asian... and I want her hairstyle!!!!

I'm serious here.. I really do like that sort of hairstyle... I know my hair is a little too long for that hairstyle... but hmm... do you think I'll look good with such a hairstyle?

Anyways... I've been humming the songs all day...


525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. I
n inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?

How about love? How about love? How about love?
Measure in love. Seasons of love.
525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes - how can you measure the life of a woman or man?

In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned, or the way that she died.
It’s time now to sing out, tho the story never ends
let's celebrate remember a year in the life of friends.
Remember the love! Remember the love! Remember the love!
Measure in love. Seasons of love! Seasons of love.

My Favourite... the lyrics are really meaningful... if you bother to take the time to read them and understand

Oh well..

Excuse me while I go fantasize about being a Broadway star!

This coming Friday, I'm going to watch Chestnuts!

Oh btw... I only paid $52 for a $150 Rent tic... just wanted to let a certain person know and get all jealous. *smirk*
