Day Off!

After working for 12 days straight, i finally get a day off. My day off was suppose to be on tuesday and wed but as mention in my last post, one of my co-workers took a day off on tuesday and i replaced her. And coincidently, another co-worker was sick on wed so they call me early on wed morning to see if i wanted to replace her...just my luck wahaha. Well part of me is happy cause i can finally get some rest, but on the other hand i felt like going on working as i really need more $! So what did i do on my day off? NOTHING....all i did was watch movie, play dota, surfing and MSN...It was soo boring. Time seems to pass so slowly, and the fact that i woke up at 7.30 am didnt help at all..I WANNA WORK!!!!! I think i am officially a workaholic :p

Well since i am working like everyday i didnt do much at all. The only thing interesting this week for me was....

The Phantom of the opera ( November 15th 2008)

"The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a disfigured musical genius known only as ‘The Phantom’ who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Mesmerised by the talents and beauty of a young soprano - Christine, the Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. Unaware of Christine’s love for Raoul, The Phantom’s obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where jealously, madness and passions collide."

The Phantom of The Opera is a french novel, combining romance, horror, mystery and tragedy, by Gastron Leroux, based on a true story. Some believe it to have been inspired by George du Maurier's Trilby. Trilby is based on real events related to the Paris Opera House which Leroux investigated, initiated by stories of an opera house ghost. The novel was translated into English in 1911. It has since been adapted many times into film and stage productions, the most notable of which were the 1925 film depiction and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical. The Phantom of the Opera musical is now the longest running Broadway show in history, and the most lucrative entertainment enterprise of all time, its worldwide box office over the past 20 years has outgrossed even the highest grossing film in history.

Well this is the first real musical i have been to and i have to said i enjoyed every bit of it. From the opening scene which takes place in an auction in paris which showed the shattered chandelier from the incident of the phantom of the opera been restored and fitted for electric lights. Then the main play begins..not a single sec did i take my eyes of this brilliant performance. All together, the musical was 2 and a half hour long with a 20 min interval in between. But i must have enjoyed it sooo much as it felt so much shorter than that. I was thinking NZD100 is alot but its well worth the money. I highly recommend those who havent seen it to get ur tickets NOW!! Try to get the middle seats at the bottom which i think would be the best seats ^.^

Random Shot

Scenes from THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

No camera were allowed in there. I did took a few random shots b4 the musical started but was told off ^.^ It was real blurry though and therefore this are a few scenes taken from the web :p

On sunday, me and my sis raesher went for hot pot aka stimbot at Mt albert with two of my classmates as it was one of my classmate Siwu bday on Nov 11...hehe how cool is that 1111 ^.^ I did bring my camera but i guess i was too busy eating as i totally forgot to take ANY pictures :(

Anyway m still thinking wat should i do tmr since its also my off day. Theres so many things i wanna do, so many things i wanna buy...But....but....I only have 20 dollars in my bank acc since i just bought my air ticket to Msia for the 31st of DEC :(
I guess its "berakit-rakit ke hulu, berenang-renang ke tepian, bersakit-sakit dahulu, bersenang-senang kemudian" ^.^
For those of you who dont understand...this is a famous peribahasa /proverbs which means if you work hard first you will have a easy life later on. Therefore i am willing to suffer this two months...so i can enjoy in Msia and hopefully HONG KONG (still planning :p) yeah!!
