881 Yo Ah Yo


Have been reading many reviews about the local production 881. and i realised that no one wrote bad reviews about it... so i felt that it's a show i must watch.
Caught it with jl on one of the weekday and realised that more than 90% of the show is in hokkien. luckily there was subtitles. if not i would be coming out of the theatre totally blur. the hokkien songs were nice.

Loved the song that they played at the end of the show, singer has a nice voice too, totally suitable for a song like that.


Another song that created quite an impact on me in the show was the song on 12 lotus flowers. it's a very sad song. here's a version of the song not from the movie posted by cruz. zt has been singing this song a lot this week...


After the movie, we had dinner at terra cafe in vivocity. a very wrong choice. only when i sat in there and jl asked me if it's the same on as that in bugis junction that i recalled reading a bad review about this place.. decided to give it a chance. and regretted!! dun eat there...Just when we were done with dinner, got a call from a friend to say that a supposed day surgery took longer and more complicated than expected and he has to be warded. so we rushed to nuh to see how he's doing..will post more on that later...

yah i had to rely on subtitles too! But I liked the music and I'm totally happy (and proud) that singapore can produce it's own version of musicals, and with dialect somemore!
