The Birthday Of A King

2 days blogging in one entry again! looks like my holidays are slowly melting into oblivion even as i type. the mood surely mirrors that in Diana's 25th Dec blog entry...
to those who asked... the musical went okay from my personal opinion. the film bit turned out much stronger cos of good camera angles and some Jin Ma Jiang-level work from Mum and Dad. the live bit was, however let down slightly due to some rather loose tone work from the choir. haiz... really need to start earlier. 2 months is a recipe for disaster.
got to watch Kung Fu Hustle on Christmas Day. and by empirical testing i can now state with confidence that first row seats in Cine are okay, you wont get a neckache. this show is a must-see. sure, its not cerebral, but thats the beauty of it. the comedy is actually not very in-your-face, a departure from the usual Stephen Chow style. good fight choreo, interesting characterisation, and an okay plot.
had a pretty good outing today with Amanda, Samm and Changshuo. havent talked to Samm for ages, always good to catch up and see how people are doing. had mucho fun window-shopping, and i somehow ended up giving advice about orthodontics. no rest for the dental...
started work on my christmas present, a Macross Super Valkyrie model kit, fully articulated even. got to say that im none too impressed with the plastic work. some of the joint lines are screwy. and they decided to make this one a 15th Anniversary Metallic Coat Special Edition. its fugly as helll, being a metallic silver and green colour. and when you cut the sprues the plain plastic color shows at the incisions. dont get me started on what it looks like when you file the joints even... she's got a lot of work ahead, and im planning to paint it up like Skull One with some proper acrylics to cover the gay metallics.
back to school tomorrow, havent packed yet. hope i dont forget anything, esp PJ's christmas presents...
