Cats Was Amazing!!

Am back from Singapore after Cats on Saturday night. Flew out on the first flight to Singapore. Met up with Max and his daughters for breakfast at Toa Payoh. Had some pretty good dim sum at Crystal Jade compliments of Max. (Max: Next time let me buy la!)

Breakfast was barely digested and it was time for lunch with Ivy and Tommy & family at Atria. We decided to head up to Food Republic for more choices and cost effectiveness. Not fantastic food but it's quite ok actually. We had a great time catching up although we're quite new friends to be frank. But what the heck, we had great fun. Tommy's daughter is the absolute cutest. Rolling big eyes just like her daddy.

We adjourned to Coffee Club at Takashimaya and it was packed! Luckily there was still 1 more table available for the 4 of us. Sadly we had to call it a day by 4pm as I had to rush back to Toa Payoh, freshen up and get ready for Cats.

Fortunately from Max's place, there's a bus that goes straight to Marina Square. Nice! It was a 40 minute bus ride. Stopped by the food court for a quick bite in case I got hungry halfway through the show.

Arrived at the Esplanade with 5 minutes to spare before the show started. Just nice.


Right on the dot, 8pm, the show started. I had decided to splurge this time and got really great seats. 10th row from the front right in the middle of the hall. The view was just nice. Not too near and not too far. No heads blocking me in front too.



I have to say the entire show is very entertaining and fun. The songs and dances all beautifully choreographed. The vocals were amazing too. The sound system in the hall was up to standard. No echo and bounceback so we could hear everything clearly.

During intermission, I was sooooo thirsty I had to get something to drink. I was quite flabbergasted at the prices but then again I really didn't have any choice. So I ended up with a very expensive can of Diet Coke. Quite unlike me to have Coke but it was either that or even more expensive mineral water or wine or beer.

Just as the break was ending, I entered the hall. There were some of the Cats roaming around the hall. I managed to snap a pic with one of them.


And by the way, I also splurged on the program booklet which cost me SGD 20.

Cats! Here I Come!

Yikes! It's tomorrow. Collected my tickets yesterday from the agent. Talk about procrastinating. Well, at least I didn't wait till today :)

Now to head off to the money changer. Believe it or not, this is what I do all the time. I won't prep until the very last minute. Let's just hope I get a good rate. I still remember one time I went to the money changer 2 days before my trip, she told me, "Singapore Dollar, sudah habis. No stock!"

I nearly fainted. Luckily I still had 1 more day...

Tonight will be just packing and an early night. Catching the first flight out tomorrow morning.

Cats! Here I come...

Cats! Here I Come!


I have got my tickets to Cats musical next month. They cost me a fortune but I think it's gonna be worthwhile. My first broadway musical!

And kiasu me even booked Air Asia tickets to Singapore. RM 9 one way. Total return journey is only RM 158. Cheaper than taking the coach. Cool!

Then today... Jetstar ad in The Star. Zero fare to Singapore. OMG! But later on I found out that even with the zero fare, the price isn't that much as Jetstar flies out from KLIA and hence charges higher taxes and misc fees. Total price difference? RM 5... Haha!

I'm soooo looking forward to watching Cats next month. It's more than a months wait!

Cats!


I just found out that Cats will be going to Singapore next month. Told myself years ago that if Cats comes to this region, I must go. I've missed other Broadway musicals so far and this is not one that I'm gonna miss. No way!

Anyone keen?
