The concert was great~!

Forgive my initial outburst just now.I'm a little pissed.Ok.So i'm very pissed.Nevermind.
The Concert yesterday was FANTASTIC!!!!I can't express my delight.You know,i'm getting so hyped up that i think i'm going to faint.Or not.Ok.So here are the songs the great lady actually sang.
  1. Don't Cry For Me Argentina
  2. Another suitcase in another hall
  3. i get a kick out of you
  4. How long has this been going on?
  5. From a distance
  6. I know him so well
  7. As if we never said goodbye
  8. change the world
  9. Mad about the boy
  10. I dreamed a dream
  11. As time goes by
  12. Poor old John
  13. Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
  14. Memory
  15. Cry me a river
  16. Slap that bass
  17. I don't know how to love him
  18. Something in red

So there you have it.The list of 18 songs that she actually sang.Although the programme booklet,which cost me a whopping $20,showed a selction of 25.Add on the two ochestra pieces and you get 20 pieces.Argh.She was in tip top condition,and did i mention that she has a great sense of humor?At the beginning,she was like "Pooh it's hot here!How do you stand it?How can you live here?"and everyone started laughing.She cracked loads of jokes,and she was like,really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really good.You know what?She cried halfway through her encore song,'Cry me a river'i was really astonished.But it ended well...Except that there was no autograph session,because those stupuid DBS people had to go and meet her.*HUMPF*I swear that when i grow up,i will never sign up for that freaking card.

Oh yes.Then there were her gowns.First,she wore this spaghetti-strapped gown that was a little translucent from the waist down(I could see from where i was sitting cos of the really really bright lights shining on her).It had loads of sequins on it.But that was nothing compared to her second gown.The second gown was,like,composed entirely of WHTE cloth sewn together with sequins.I practically couldn't see her face!!!Then came the last gown...The one that i have always adored(She wore it in the ALW video in Beijing).But she wore a huge coat over it.Then she took the coat off.I was like"Oh god!I love that gown!!"Let me describe it.Firstly,the gown itself was black,and it's kinda like a really really long tube top.Then,over that,she wore a matching jacket.The jacket had leather for the sleeves sewn to the shoulders.That's what i love about it.It may be simple,but the gown gives a rather rough yet elegant feel...Even i struggle to describe the feeling i get...

She shared loads of her experiences.It was really entertaining and the music was fabulous.Even my aunt enjoyed it.I didn't dare to scream because she was sitting next to me though.Elaine was so damn gracious...Argh.I've gotta go.I think i'll just go satisfy myself by re-living the concert in my head...Maybe more later!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I COULD HAVE GOTTEN EP'S AUTOGRAPH AND PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!I AM SO DAMN ANGRY AT MYSELF!!!!I TOTALLY MISEED ELAINE WHEN SHE LANDED AT THE AIRPORT!!!!!!!!
ONE,I COULD HAVE GOTTEN HER AUTOGRAPH,
TWO,I COULD HAVE GOTTEN A PICTURE WITH HER!
A PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.I'M SO DAMN PISSED.I FEEL LIKE BITING A HUGE CHUNK OUT OF MYSELF.

9 days more

I can't believe it.Nine days more.It feels like eternity.Oh!My mother bought me 2 things in the past 2 days.Yesterday,she bought me the new Chrisopher Paolini book,Eldest,the chronicle to Eragon.It's really good,but i've finished it already.Today,she bought me the CATS original London cast recording.It's really good,but i still prefer the video version.
More on this CD.Unfortunately,Sarah Brightman took Veerle Castelyn's place as Jemima.I don't know how to put it,but Sarah Brightman is better suited for The Phantom Of The Opera,as she has a higher range.(Well,duh!The whole score was originally going to be written for Elaine Paige,but then the stupid,highly operatic and YOUNGER,not to mention,much uglier,Sarah Brightman had to come along and get married to Andrew.Too bad,the marriage didn't work out.*Silent personal cheers*Ha!Serves them right.)But then again,she can dance,so that's an advantage as well.As usual,Elaine Paige is the depressed,close to death Grizabella.And singing along-side her as Jennyanydots is Susan Jane Tanner.Both have been in the original cast for a total of 17 years,i think.Then there's the baritone,Ken Page.He plays the "King of the Jellicle Cats" so to put it,Old Deuteronomy(sp?).He was in the video,as were the two ladies mentioned above.And he was also in the London cast recording.This is freaky.Barbra Streisand is 63.This is just weird.She looks so darn young.Maybe she went for botox or surgery or something.Ok.Enough about the freaky Miss Streisand.More on the wonderful Miss Paige.Actually,i think that i've told you people enough about her to bore you like crazy.No wonder no one comes to tag my blog.Who cares.
Ok.You know the stuff i said about Sarah Brightman earlier about her not being good in CATS?I take part of it back.She was ok only in one song though,and i think that Veerle Castelyn did a better job.And then,as usual,Elaine was there.Hrmm...I wonder.Did she get Veerle Castelyn to do a special recording with her?'Cos in this CD,Sarah Brightman dosn't sing with Elaine AT ALL.But in the video,as well as in the Centre Stage album,Veerle does sing with her.Tragic,Veerle is so much better than Sarah.Ah well...
Ok.Going to surf the net now.Byee!

11 more days

Bonsoir amigos.Ha ha.I've gone bonkers after packing my room.Now everything is where they're supposed to be,i think.Ah well.At least now i found the cd i've been missing!Not that that's going to do you any good right?I daresay i have too many cds.But then again,no one's complaining,so who cares.My aunt just messaged me and told me that there was no encore from EP over at Auckland 'cos the ochestra there didn't blend well with her.That's really sad,as i think the fans there would have been really disappointed.Stupid ochestra.Hrmm...I daresay her voice was good enough to hold a show without the darn ochestra though.Unhhh...can't wait for those 11 days to pass.They seem to be just crawling by...
I found out what cancer Elaine had.It was breast cancer,not surprisingly.At least she recovered.I know it's sick,but c'mon,people get all sorts of cancer.Look at Eva Peron.She died at 33 of ovarian cancer.So sad...she was what Argentina needed.Someone to rouse their spirits.But then again,look at the freaky dictator guy,Juan Peron,she married.He was possesive,i think.Ok.Gotta go.Catch you tomorrow,i think.

second post of the day!

hey peeps!I still can't get over the euphoria of finishing the freaking exam.WHOOT!!YAY!PSLE SUCKS!BUT IT'S OVER~!
I'm going crazy anyway.
UNHHH...Why can't those 19 days pass faster??!!I wanna go to the concert.Argh.Jose Carreras is a little weird.He's over 50 and he still behaves as if he is still only over 40.And the life newspaper is exactly as weird.They said that he was good looking.Granted,he does have good looks,but now they are,like,almost gone.Can't say the same about his charm though,cause i've never seen him live,or even hear him speak.But he sounds ok.Not obnoxious or anything.EWWW!!!So much blood!This episode of Heartlanders is sick.This guy is psycho.And desperate for revenge.You know what?I haven't done anything today but watch TV and videos.This is the life man!!!EWW.The guy just got acid on his face.Now Vincent Ng is trying to psych this villain out by saying how his brother is a coward.And now the villain just killed himself.How foolish.Ok.Gotta go.PEOPLE!!!YOU MUST TAG MY BLOG OK??!!

Meet The Parents

FINALLY!!!The ordeal is over!PSLE IS OVER!!!*pop champagne and scream crazily*
I'm watching Meet The Fockers now.It's so funny...but it's really sick.Babra Streisand is rather...funny.In a sick way.She's a good singer though.She sang some stuff from Sunset Boulevard.Really good...Although she has a weird nose.This is weird.Those who have watched the show,you know what i mean...
19 DAYS!!19 DAYS TO THE CENTRE STAGE CONCERT!!!
I so AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HER CONCERT.
The chalet thing is coming up on Friday.HAH!!The baby in the show is saying 'asshole'.It's so funny!Especially Babra Streisand.The guy who is Pam's father is so damn irritating.He's such a control freak.Oh.And now his is going to find out that she got pregnant before they got married.Stupid.CONTROL FREAK ALERT!!!Weird.I think i'll blog more later.

ONE MORE FREAKING EXAM!!

ONE DAY MORE!Then i am free.Free at last from this torment that is PSLE.Free,that is,until the results come out.But that's talk for another time.20 more days to the CENTRE STAGE concert.I'm so excited.You know,i might just faint from the excitement.LOL!Then Elaine will have no choice but to pay attention to me.Hrmm...maybe i'll fake it?!Lol.I don't think so.My aunt won't be so pleased.I wish people will stop asking me why i am so obsessed with her?I don't know myself...Anyway,it's just this respect and all that makes me like her or something.I guess it's because of her achievements.YAY!Cameron Mackintosh rocks.You know,i think he kinda likes Elaine...She has her own show on BBC radio 2,every sunday.Hrmm...how many West End and Broadway stars get to do that??!!
OK.
more later,i think.bybye

Update on my life again

hey people.I am watching TV now.I think the show on is 'Meet The Parents'.Unhh.I wanna watch Tim Burton's 'Corpse Bride'.I think i will go and watch it after the exams.Only 2 more exams to go!!Whoot!!!YAY!Have i mentioned how much my mother bosses me around??!!I guess i'll just have to put up with it.I can't be any worse than those beggar children in India.
OK.Daily classical music time.Boring,i know,so bear with me.C'mon...everyone needs to know a bit of everything,right?Right.First...ONLY 21 MORE DAYS TO THE CONCERT!Whoot!yay!Elaine Paige rocks.Elaine Paige rocks!Elaine Paige...you get the point.And Melissa,she doesn't sing to seduce men.Sarah Brightman does.Andrew Lloyd Webber,Frank Peterson...you get my point.They all broke away from her,so too bad.*pulls funny face at a cd cover picture of Sarah Brightman*YAY!At least Elaine Paige fared better.Unfortunately,the person she loved was married.That guy was Tim Rice,and they were under unflagging media coverage for a whopping 11 years!!
OK.Gotta go.bybye
I'll blog more in 2 days time,or something.

update on my life

Argh.The girl living opposite me is driving me crazy.She's making me jealous by playing all those phantom songs on the piano so well.Dammit.*sigh*I guess i'll just have to wait to get a good piano teacher.(ratio,you still owe me your teacher's number)Anyway...
ONLY 22 MORE DAYS TO THE CENTRE STAGE CONCERT!
And only four more days to FREEDOM!!!The horrible PSLE is finally going to be over!*cue popping champagne and fireworks*haha.Gone totally bonkers.Can't stop wishing that those 22 days would pass faster...Not that i won't enjoy them.The flea market and the swimming are coming up.Yenli said that she might come by and help us with the flea market thing.Recently i found this essential oil in my mother's room.The very same one that she spilled on my uniform.It smells just heavenly.It's called Morrocan Sunset.Smells really good,never mind the weird name.So i took it from her room,without her knowledge.Who cares?She never uses it,anyway.Pity it's only 1/2 full.Ah well,i'll just finish it for her. :D Whoot!
Tralalala...Warcraft 3 and The Frozen Throne just rock.Those who have played and enjoyed it,you know what i mean.I like Maiev the warden and Tyrande the priestess of the moon for female heroes,Illidan and Thrall for male heroes.I simply love the Night Elf race.They rock!
For normal units i like the Banshees from the Undead,the Sorceresses from the Humans,the Wolf Riders from the Orcs and the Huntresses from the Night Elves.For neutral heroes,i like the Dark Rangers and the Pandaren Brewmaster,both from The Frozen Throne.Whoot!
Ok,my dad's here to chase me out of the chair,so
Ciao!
