Saturday, Phantom Day. Woke up with a bleedin' headache that we attribute to last night's Wolfblass. After 4 Panadols we could get through the morning so long as we don't move our head too fast.
Lunch was at Lerk Thai at White Sands shopping mall, the second Thai meal for the gang (the first was dinner last night which we missed out). Food was good, but no one was inclined to take pictures as we were either too hungry or thought it unneccesary until after the meals. Then we'll go, "Aiyah, didn't take any picture of the food."
Phantom was quite good, and us somewhere in the middle of the foyer stalls we had a good (if not a wee bit far) view of the stage. We'd planned to sing into njapf's ear as the show played but she chose to sit on the opposite end of us. Oh well, concentrated on watching the bits we've already forgotten. To our shame we fell asleep somewhere after the intermission, when the cast was practising Don Juan Triumphant till the point where Christine was visiting her father's grave. Even goodsheet and lad zoned off here and there...we shouldn't do uberlate nights if we're gonna catch matinee performances.
Bits that caught our attention in the musical - pauses that seemed a second too long in one or two conversations/songs and during the singing of 'All I Ask Of You':
Sounded as if Raoul sang, "No, I do..." Otherwise, we still love Mssrs Andre and Firmin :D and how the ballerinas don't run but spin about as they twitter from one end of the stage to the other.
Souvenirs were pricey in our opinion. Programs at SGD20, mugs at SGD25, pens at SGD20, phantom masks at SGD30, the CD at SGD35. goodsheet and lad didn't help by trying to persuade us to buy the mask, then wear it while stalking njapf in MidValley. Thank goodness they are not proficient in the Sine Arm Wave Persuasion Attack.
Oh yes, the question of the day: How does the mask stick on the Phantom's face? Elastic string? Our theory was that the mask was velcro'ed on, hahaha.
Back to Orchard after the Phantom as we've to exchange gaming stuff, while the rest head off to Takashimaya for some shopping: njapf for Royce chocs, goodsheet for Dockers work shirts that were on sale at the concourse area. As we ourselves already have bought Super Munchkins and Giordano's Dry Polos (3 for SGD39) we resisted temptations.
Second Super Munchkins game with 6 peeps, played a bit more properly and not totally based on what the game owner says.
That night we did Super Munchkins again, this time with updated rules and with everybody - we won because with the updated rules it wasn't easy to saboh each other. Now we're itching to get the base set. Ethancya has finished the music videos, and we laughed at the antics of the day - slow-motion Renzze flicking her hair...slowmo lad backheel kicking goodsheet...clips of us selling stuff to Renzze...musical fountains (you did it!)...will we be posting it up on Youtube (wah no shame)?
Was almost asleep when Ethancya woke us up to show a magic trick. That got everyone wide awake again, practising the trick.
Back to bed again after that, to catch a total of 9 hours of sleep between Friday and Saturday...Sunday morning we were back on the bus heading back to 1U, sleeping all the way. Goodbye Sporeland...till our next visit!
