I was a good girl. Din have the buffet in the end. Jude unwittingly revealed he was going to Thailand with his wife in April. Which means he's gonna have to buy me a bag (does that sound scarily familiar or what :). Actually I think he asked me what I like. But...I shall place faith in his taste. He's a designer after all and he finds my new lunch bag (yes, courtesy of my cat series bought from Taka basement) immensely pretty and cute (It is! Many people have said so!) Plus, he has a secret weapon to aid him in his otherwise doomed quest: his wife. Who's a colorist and female to boot. Two people like that can't go too wrong when they're buying a bag for someone like me, right? Also asked if he could help me to buy nice, dangling earrings with his wife's advice, since things are so cheap there. When the date of departure is near, I shall bring my little treasury of earrings to show him the kind I like.

CK also bought me a bag from Hong Kong. I wonder how it looks like. April's earrings for me, I also haven't seen yet. Shinhao once said I'm too easily bribed, but who doesn't like to receive gifts? He probably never gets any and uses the bribing analogy as a reason to fend of buying anything. Anyway. Hooray!!!! I can't wait.

After lunch with the only young and cute male in the office (I saw a girl bio-ing my lunch companion and giving him second, third looks as she passed by us), I took part in a last min draw and emerged with free VIP tickets to watch Such Sweet Soorrow. There was a ticketing misdistribution, an honest mistake later in which the Finance AVP was very nice to let me have them. See, there was actually only one pair but they named two winners. It would have been odd to go together (long story) but it was the next best thing and I really din mind coz it was only fair. I'd hate to deprive him of the chance to watch the play but he said it's all right (anyway I got an escort all ready to accompany me) 'coz he just made plans to drive down to JB with a friend. Oh well. Yay!!!!! But it would have been interesting otherwise.

Review of Such Sweet Sorrow:

Such Horror. 'Nuff said. A pastiche of love quotations from Shakespeare's various works cannot raise a play without plot anywhere beyond bad. And try as I might, I cannot figure the significance of a particular scene. It contributes nothing to the play, saved to stretch the time and to insist on incorporating a play-within-play to ride on the cheem-ness and cleverness of such a stunt. But the stunt has been overdone one too many time to be effective in so many plays and the scene itself was truly redundant. The controversial (stupid) scene shows the actors and actresses as actors and actresses rehearsing the lines they have just uttered. It was oddly juxtaposed too, somewhere in between late end and early beginning of play.

Towards the end, it got slightly better, as in there were snide references made about Singapore, the future Prime Minister and the sense of foreboding as a scene was made to parallel another. But this better scene has really tenuous connection with the overall plot. Or shall we say the plot can't quite decide whether to mock religion or mock Singapore. Then there were all those awful slo-mo "dancers" appearing in almost very scene whose symbolism is totally lost on bewildered me.

Thank goodness it was free.

AVP said to tell him if the play was any good. Shall tell him I saved him from an excruciating time.

Rap 随身莫忘打狗棒 锦囊带着绝情丹
凌波微步该闪就闪 Yeh Oh
就算得了倚天剑 身怀降龙十八掌
也别硬闯龙门客栈 Yeh Oh

不确定他是杨过 最好就别扮演小龙女
免得只等来一场伤心
(不要浪费蝴蠂 不要沉溺谷底)
上网就能变情侣 哪里还流行神雕侠侣
千万要小心一片真心 变成了 线上游戏

侠女们都请注意 爱情江湖多危机
面对敌人要冷静 Yeh Oh
甜言蜜语多动听 变成暗器就致命
十面埋伏的丛林 不要随便轻易动凡心

不是貌似张无忌 就是来自武当或少林
也许他早就声名狼藉

情书进化成简讯 网内互传省钱又容易
说一百次我好爱你 用不了 一成功力

爱要慢慢修炼 太心急 只会让武功全废
经过时间的粹炼 参透悟透爱的箴言
才知道你要的 是谁
