Idan just showed me the pictures he shot the other day, which he entitled ‘Fairy Dust.’

After hiding indoors (read: recuperating) for most of Sunday, i ventured out for dinner with my family, then to chill out over wine with PassedOutBen.
We spoke about love (again).
It seems to be our topic of the moment these days.

In between bouts of that, was blahing about parties and people we saw throughout the week.

“You know what,” i brought up, thinking about all the conversations i’d had this week, “It doesn’t matter how successful or famous you think someone is, but they’re all seriously fucked up about love.” I went on to elaborate on some people we knew who’re always in the limelight, but take the light away, and they’ve all got their heartbreak problems underneath. Just the same as you or me.

Of course it takes time to get to know someone, and have them open up to you especially if they’re extremely private people, but hearing individual stories about heartbreak made me want to cry with them.

I react the same if a situation is vice versa – when people tell me how they proposed to their fiancess/wives, or drama on how everything worked out in the end. Their stories and expression get to me and I end up clasping my hands, grinning from ear to ear going, “I’m sorry, i’m sorry, my face hurts cos i’m smiling so much cos i’m so happy for you!”

This is a beautiful short story by Haruki Murakami which i’d like to share. Someone pulled the book out of the shelf, made me sit, and read it one night, to which i teared.

My entire body hurt like a bitch this morning (especially my calves!) from walking around and dancing for three hours while Lap Sap and TAG performed at Urbanscapes yesterday.
Body cannot take it already.

I also ended up much poorer -_-
I withdrew 800 bucks and ended up with 100 today
Where did it go?!

I know i ended up with a lot of stuff… super cool necklaces, scarves, dresses, shirts for my bro, and heaps of other things… oh, and a bag… but walau.
Totally donated money.

Ok body pain. Going to lie down.

Last night, i dreamt Adlin Rosli was chasing me for editorial content going, “9 days left, 9 days left.”

Wtf.

I think the whole Urbanscapes countdown is getting to me -_-

I told RowdyRudy i’m bringing the spinner tomorrow to Urbanscapes, “I’m so short, people can find me easier.”
“You’re bringing the original sacred spinner out?!”
“… okay okay, you bring the one in your place then omg.”

When you’re at Urbanscapes, AT 6PM

SarChan will be selecting songs at the Lakeside.
I, will be dancing next to her.
I’m merely tumpanging her glamour and providing er, hype.
With my spinner in tow of course

Come party with beer in hand at sunset with us!

Space was the new kid on the block on Asian Heritage Row the past couple of months.
Euphoria launched today (M.O.S., in Sunway and non-smoking)
And Cloth and Clef on Changkat Bukit Bintang opens its doors for a soft launch tomorrow.

Clubs and bars aside, i took an hour to drive from Jalan Bukit Bintang to KLCC today.
Shocker, i know.
I’m still beefing from it.

Who said people in KL drive less ever since the petrol price increased?!
Utter rubbish, i thought, as i inched along Jalan Sultan Ismail.
“So. Fucking. Jam. Can. Die,” i smsed RowdyRudy as he waited for me in Chinoz.

I had five mins to sip a drink before we headed off for Beauty and the Beast (the musical) in KL Convention Centre.

We were so disappointed.
So. So. Disappointed.

You know i adore Disney.
And Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourites.
I know the songs by heart.
I know the tunes by heart.
I know all the damn lyrics by heart.

But… the musical just didn’t *do* it for me y’know?

The interpretation of the cartoon movie into a musical was pretty cool at certain parts, but that’s to be expected.
I expected mind-blowing ‘phwoar’ moments.
I didn’t get any of that.

Was it just me?
Couldn’t be!
I wasn’t that tired from work and i’d been looking forward to the musical for the past week!

“Is it me?” i asked RR
“No -_- That really blew ass.”

My problems with tonight was:

1. I realised whoever was sitting at the side couldn’t possibly see the cast when they were acting there, cos i could just about view them and i was 7 seats from the side.

2. Coughing orchestra.

Oh jesus. There were random people coughing every two seconds after the interval, i kid you not. Even the people in front of me were heard commenting, “Is there a flu going around?!”

All i could hear was *cough*… *cough*from another side*… *cough*cough*the other side*… *cougH*behind me*… *cough*kid in front*

Funny thing was people who were previously bitching in front? One of them started coughing too -_-

Oh. And kids and babies started crying.

Good GOD. I know B&TB is a children’s show… but if your child’s going to start wailing, don’t bring them to the musical! Or at least, don’t be selfish and take them out!

3. Sound was bad.

Mike failed a few times. And overall sound wasn’t great. I won’t look highly upon musicals held in KLCC again (my first time watching there, it’s always been Istana Budaya so far, in msia anyway)

…

I don’t know. The ending was cheesy, people laughed when the beast died cos his last breath sounded funny. The part where he transformed from a beast to a human consisted of him being spun around, which brought to my mind the Exorcist.

We walked out of the venue feeling dissatisfied and going, “MMMF.”

“I think it’s after going for West End and Broadway, musicals will never live up to those.”
“Of course, i know that you cannot compare, but at least the others i went to in kl left me with a bit of that ‘ahhh’ feeling, even if not a lot.”
“Shall we walk through the outside part of inside?” he queried – changing the subject quickly as we always do – gazing at the many people walking indoors.
“Inside. I’m wearing my nice shoes today and it just rained -_-“

We consoled ourselves with drinks at the Mandarin after that.
“What are you going to have?”
“Guinness. I’m dying for a Guinness.”
“Dammit.”
“What?”
“Now i’ll look like a pussy next to you if i order wine.”
