Zzz...... yesterday when i reached the Esplanade, evreything was so troublesome, such a hassle. Even before I could reach the outskirts of the Esplanade, I had to show a pass. Then when I tried to look for Kit Chong at the stage door, (I told him to meet me there as we would then go find the loading bay which we don't know where the Hell was that and that was the only possible entrance on that day) the police told me to enter through the main entrance.
Met one of the wardrobe personnel, Cheryl, thanks to her we managed to find the loading bay! Before we could enter the loading bay, we had to show the Actor's Pass and the IMF Pass. Then we had to put our bags through a scan and our other belongings too. Next we had to walk through a metal-detecting gate. Then we had to scan our pass. Such a hassle and we were finally into the Esplanade Theatre.
Belinda made my make-up andd got rid of my cute panda eyes. -_-'' When it was my scene, I came out to fly my "beautiful" kite and guess what?! There were so few audience I couldn't be bothered to do it properly. I didn't laugh and had no more mood to do the Union-Jack part. Can't believe it man...... The IMF people are watching it for free, it's only Act I, and they are allowed to walk in and out during the performance. Is that what you mean by appreciating art? Sigh, if they can walk in and out means that they are not showing us respect. And they are not watching the whole show and don't even know the whole story, yet we were given standing ovations during Curtain Call for something that they did not understand.
And when a scene ends, normally the audience would give applause. However, these bankers don't know a single thing, well either they are retarded or what...... Parts where audience normally laughs, they shut up. Zzz......
Anyway the best part was that I got to go to the reception, I think, at the Esplanade. However we had to go through the same security checks again...... Zzz...... But there was FREE food! Call me cheap I don't care. But the food was really nice. I ate some chicken, Ya Kun Kaya toast, some sweet and sour thingy, popiah, dumpling, Katong Laksa and many more. Too bad Kit Chong, you went home early, there was so much FUN!!! At 10pm there was a massive display of fireworks!!! Too bad you didn't get to see it first-hand. Later went to get 2 cups of Green Tea and Melissa thought I was drinking beer??? I would love to.
Walked to the MRT with the people from the Wardrobe and we talked a lot. Oh and by the way, Luke IS Melissa's boyfriend. DON'T get confused that Luke (may) likes Melissa, but it's Melissa LOVES Luke. You will know why, soon enough.
