appreciate the arts, have an arts day
it has been a long time since i stepped into any of the museums in singapore. and this particular visit have been planned between me jillian and lynette for the longest time too. all the way since before sch started. 
It really was nice to be smacked and placed in the middle of something artistic, especially when there is a brand new exhibition in town all the way from paris's louvre. I think there was a whole display of about 100 pieces. all beautiful pieces of marble of classical greece. even i think the Singapore National Museum is one perfect work of restoration of a colonial building.
remember the name that foreverly gave us students problems? that name that could strike a migraine or a stomach ache? socrates and plato the two idiots who have nothing to do everyday they constantly think of random things to test everyone's stupidity. well? wonder how these two famously famous people look like? well, socrates and plato isnt really everyone's prince charming that's for sure.
and then there are the many many marble status of athena, ares, apollo, eros. many of these little characters that i have studied for so long to learn all the stories about them and all the other little details of greek society. 
dont you kinda wished that you lived in classical greece? to think that the male masculinity is seen as the perfect work of art. even lynette thinks "wow" of all the sculptures of the greek. when we saw the back of ares while listening to the guild telling us stories about his, me and lynette was saying how this statue seems hot. i know lynette wished that she could marry this work of art IF it was still alive. too bad i did not get to bring my camera around with me and only managed to get photos with my little camera phone. it is official that camera phones do no produce desirable photos.
anyway. later that night i headed down to esplanade to watch highly acclaimed time sum dollies. when the show ended, i was once again reminded how much i enjoy watching plays. to the extent that i dont mind paying more for it. theater is just one amazing little piece of artform and entertainment. i felt so happy when the show ended, kept smiling to myself all the way back to hall.
this one is one of the time sum dollies re-runs back from popular demand. and to think that the theater was sold out. lucky i manage to buy the tickets a long long time ago. i realised that i always buy such tickets on impulse, sometimes even so much on impulse that i end up siting there alone in the theater and laughing to myself.
and one more thing. a "promise" to myself that i will try to watch every tim sum dollies production. I never knew that those three could sing. and sing so much better than the beauty world cast. in fact, they can sing can do impersonations as well. that is what i call talent.
well. i have always supported the local theaters. if i was filthy rich, i actually will consider donating money to produce my own little musical. i think singapore productions should go all the way and produce things like these that makes me so happy just to sit there in the dark and watch the brightly lit stage and colorful custumes.
