POTO was amazing, beautiful and simply breathtaking! I was completely blown away by the Phantom and although its been a week since the performance, his voice and the many captivating numbers are still stuck in my head. Kudos to the orchestra that played wonderfully to create the perfect ambience and smooth transition between scenes, but most importantly, bringing the Phantom to life.
Andy and I were fortunate enough to get good seats that allowed us a close view of the performers faces and their elaborate costumes, which were captivating to say the least. Needless to say, Andy loved it, so much so that he’s willing to pay to watch it a second time when the Phantom goes to Melbourne. Pity it opens 2 days after we leave, else I think we’d probably be watching it again. heh! (psst.. LBN! something you might want to consider. hee.)

Today I purchased a company law text I’ve been trying to get my hands on through Kinokuniya’s website. I searched the website with the main intention to check if the bookstore stocked the book I wanted. To my delight, I could purchase it online, and because my purchase was above $50 I was entitled to a free delivery service! Brilliant! I love online shopping for the fuss free convenience it provides. However it can’t quite beat spending a leisurely afternoon in the bookstore, weaving through the many bookshelves and having an excuse to buy a new novel just cos I can’t put it back down. But in times of frantic desperation, the internet will suffice, so yay for the internet! It saved me the hassle of having to trudge down town.
On a more exciting note, I finally bought tickets to watch The Phantom of The Opera! I had almost given up hope on catching it for various reasons. Initially it was money woes and subsequently I was only left with performances which clashed with my exam dates, cos earlier shows were either completely sold out, interfered with my revision workshops (yes even my sundays and saturdays are burnt up in school!), or the remaining seats were too expensive or had a restricted view.
Two days ago I received an email from sistic informing me that POTO is having a final extention of their run at the Esplanade, and by some miracle the last two performing days happens to coincide with the long (3 week) gap between my third and final paper. I thought to myself, if I don’t grab this opportunity I’m going to regret it and beat myself up each time I’m reminded of my stupidity.
Thankfully, Andy who hasn’t been too psyched about the whole POTO hype eventually caved in to all the publicity that Mediacorp has been stirring. I know he isn’t big on musicals, and even more so after getting burnt by his experience at Cabaret. I had to convince Andy that POTO is nothing like the mediocre standards of Cabaret, for starters this is freaking Broadway and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s work we’re talking about! I know part of the reason he’s willing to watch the musical is because he knows how badly I want to watch it, and for this I’m truly appreciative and touched. I love you Andy! I’m now $137 poorer but I know its money well spent. Can hardly wait!

Lately I’ve been having an insatiable desire for sweet-somethings, cakes in particular. However I haven’t had the time to hit the nearest confectionery so I figured I might as well whip something up myself. I dug out my old f&n (read: food and nutrition, not the fizzy drink co.) textbook and flipped to the recipe section which provided a simple guide to making plain butter cakes with the use of the rubbing-in method. This is one of my favourite techniques cos it allows me to get ‘down and dirty’ with the butter and flour, albeit a little tedious but fun!
Unfortunately I underestimated the recipe and left the cupcakes in the oven for 20 minutes as the recipe required, without checking on them, thinking what damage can possibly be done in such a short time! I should have followed my baking instincts cos now I’m left with slightly burned cupcakes. sob! I overlooked the fact that my oven is smaller than the average one so I probably needed to lower the temperature. Now I’ll just have to pinch at the centres and make do with it. I’m going to make another batch soon, and this time I’m going to make icing and top them off with the chocolate sprinkles Joan brought back from the netherlands. Yum!
