He’s here! The Phantom of the Opera!

“Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour. Grasp it, sense it – tremulous and tender. Turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light – and listen to the music of the night!” -the Phantom

Watched The Queen on Saturday, after all the rave reviews that Helen Mirren received at the Globes. Agreed, she’s awesome as Her Majesty, but I found the storyline a tad dry, it being revolving solely around the late Princess Diana’s tragic death. Too much coverage was done on her death that what’s supposed to have been solemn mourning turned a little stale.

Oh by the way, we love the new GV at VivoCity. Hurrah to the spacious leg room. The popcorn could’ve been sweeter, though.

After getting myself a German dictionary and packing ourselves Carl’s Jr dinner, we headed down to meet the rest of Stentorian boys for their Baybeats audition. Getting through is not gonna be an easy feat, considering there are 30 or so other bands that are competing for the few spots. That said, I have faith in the band ‘cos they’ve got the complete package (skills and looks), plus you can expect a few hot bods thrown in for good measure in their performances. AHAHAHAHA.

Once the boys were done with impressing the judges, we decided to go for supper (dinner in Andrew + Lilian’s case) at New York New York @CityLink Mall. It was my first time there, despite having been enticed by its cosy ambience for the longest time. 

Ayank and I had a glass of velvet white hot choco. It’s terribly sweet it gives you a sore throat.

Lilian had some pasta with mushroom sauce, which tasted pretty good, fortunately.

Iylia had blueberry pancakes with ice cream. The pancakes don’t look very appetizing, them being blue in colour due to the, uhm, blueberries.

We also sampled the fried Mars bars with ice cream, but they’re not as tasty as those you get at Raffles City/Far East Plaza basement, albeit as sinful.

Lilian was cajoling the boys to watch Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera with her in March, and Iylia in turn tried to get my baby to be his “date”, since I’ll be away then.

Hm. I seriously doubt the two guys could stay awake throughout the musical, considering my baby’s record of nearly dozing off when we watched the movie version 2 years ago.
