Three Blind Mice

One of the more full weekends. Friday we did Super Ex-Girlfriend, which puts a whole new meaning to the term, 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.'

Saturday now, was kicked out of bed early on as mum had a repairman brought in to have a look at my a/c. Blah, had already spend most of Fri nite up (re)playing Mario & Luigi Partners in Time and now had to be up at 9am. Feels pretty much like a Sunday instead. Friend sez that Times warehouse sale isn't so good this time so I decided to give it a miss instead.

Come evening we started making our way down to Subang for dinner and The Mousetrap play, put on by the Taylor's College Society of Performing Arts. We had our reservations...it's by students (lets not hold that against them), will they put on a Britishfied accent or attempt at just clear IELTS English or make a Manglishfied version of it? Dinner was at this Taiwan restaurant just opposite Taylors. Food wasn't bad, and service was fast. Could go there again if ever we drop by Taylors.

The Mousetrap? I plead guilty to the fact that I kept comparing it to the one I'd saw at St Martin's theatre. Asides from the fact that the fellow playing Christopher Wren had a voice that was painful on the ears and another playing Mr Paravacini seemed more like a Italian Indian (having excessive bounce and flair) the whole play was absolutely good. Everyone did their characters rather well, no one stumbled save Sgt. Trotter accidently flinging his pen cap and acting was tops.

Only complaint would be the fact that the play was done with a British accent. Most of the time it's clear enough to be comprehended but there were instances when we couldn't really make out what was being said. Small matter tho', I think I'd have ranted if it was done otherwise. As the money was going to be donated to Rumah WAKE and tickets were only RM10, it was definitely money well spent.

After the play dropped by Settler's Cafe to recruit C&C Generals kaki. Was then that we found out that Sunday was gonna be RM5 for the entire day. Goody. Generals was played with some of the Settler's Cafe staff and their mates - GLA vs the world! Overwhelming, the amount of GLA forces stampeding the map...fun fun fun.
