Being a choir member for four years and being brought up to like musical, it is not surprising to see me once in a while jumping in glee whenever there is a new interesting theatre to watch. Already the other day I had my eyes glued while the TV ads were showing a theatre on a historical story. I was entranced by the colors, the beauty of the theatre.

Sweet memories of my choir performances on a Victoria Theatre Hall in Singapore doing a musical theatre of Phantom of the Opera flashed through my mind. Being the Emcee and one of the performing artist took a toll out of that night and I remembered clearly how I keep stumbling around the backstage from one end to another in my 3inch high heels. I certainly didn’t need any vocal warming up due to it.

The adrenaline rush and constant goosebump running down my spine pulses through my memory. It was a night to remember. Even though the hall wasn’t our usual choir hall with the music echoing and rebounding off the walls, I could tell that the audience was enraptured. We managed to bring the story to life.

Duh! The eerie songs sung managed to make my hair stand on end even though the choir and me was grinning like a simpleton.

*Sigh* What could I say… I love classical theater. They make me feel as if I’m swept into another dimension. Unfortunately not everyone shares the same thoughts as me. When I was in ITE, there was a theater which I had wanted to watch since it was a collaboration of the Indonesian and Malaysian dancers doing a fused historical Malay/ Javanese dance with a little touch of contemporary in them.

Too bad, no one wanted to accompany me and I was cursing my luck. The day which I had wanted to attend since my friend managed to get a 50% discount on them falls on my busy working day. Haiz.. Missed the show, missed the greatest opportunity to attend a theater at 50% discount. What luck..

Anyway my cousin was chatting with me the other day and commented on making her own mini cinema in her spare room. Complete with the comfortable home theater seating, sound blasting speaker, huge plasma lcd tv. If you ask me, I won’t even be bothered in lifting a finger to even think about making a room for it.

Most of the time, I don’t even watch TV. Well, to each his own.
