Puteri Gunung Ledang (PGL), The Musical - 24 November 2006

Last Friday, we went to watch PGL at the Esplanade. There were a lot of first times for me on that day.

Before the show, we went to Marina Square for dinner. We ate at Secret Recipe. It was the first time I tried the food there, other than their cheese cake. I'm not so adventerous in my taste buds, so I settled for Fish & Chips. :) Didn't quite like their tartar sauce. Weird taste (bukan pasal basi ke apa lah..cuma rasa weird jer..hehe..biasalah aku). In the end, my friend and Arfi finished up the tartar sauce...hehehe..

Then we went to Esplanade. It was my first time in the theatre. Wahh..soo huge! There are four levels altogether and box seats and all. It's very grand and the stage...wahh so big!! (macam org jakun ek?) This theatre is bigger than Kallang Theatre (duh!! what am I talking abt?? sighh..k nvm, I'm starting to merepek already)

PGL is superb! First time watching a musical in Malay. Great casting..with their own individual strength. Tarian dorang...wahh..gerek seh!! Cam nak join dorang joget...best ahh..enjoyed every moment of the show..music was also superb!! And Stephen Rahman-Hughes (who played Hang Tuah) - walaupun boleh dgr sikit2 slang dia..but he can sing!!! Very powerful voice!!! Terpukau jap aku...he blew me away with his powerful voice..and there was one scene, he held the last note for a verrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy long time...30 sec maybe..or more?!?! Powerdema!!!

My favourite scene..time Sultan (Adlin Aman Ramlie) joget a-go-go...hahahaha...lepakz!! Dia joget punya lah lembut. Kekekeke...time ni aku ketawa rabakz...tak sangka Sultan zaman dulu boleh joget..hehehe..then Tengku Mahkota (anak Sultan)..so cute...macam Aney (my friend's nephew)...bila dia buka silat jer..teringat Raiyan (my friend's son). Cuttteeee....

I'm so afraid that Arfi might fall asleep coz he doesn't really like these kind of musicals and PGL is in Malay..but glad that he enjoyed it and he didn't fall asleep..yeah!! But he didn't really quite understand the ending..tried to explain to him but he is still not satisfied...it's ok dear, sejarah dia pun tonggang terbalik. Nvm..juz take it as it is ok?

After the show, we tried to get pictures of the cast. Didn't really bother to queue up for autographs coz the queue was sooooo long. So both of us berasak2 nak pergi depan, nak ambik gambar. Since Arfi has the camera, I made sure he gets to capture the casts. So, aku yg jadi 'bodyguard' dia. Org tolak aku, aku pun tolak dorang gak. And I kept pushing Arfi to go to the front. After we managed to get Tiara and Stephen's picture, we decided to give up. Dah dpt the 2 main casts picture jadi lah..kepada sesaper yg aku tertolak, minta maaf banyak2.

Next musical...Phantom of the Opera!!! The last time we catch it was like 10 years ago. It was held at Kallang Theatre. Time tu masih matair2 ngan Arfi. Now, we shall relief the moment again dear. Let's go for it!! Wuhuuu..can't wait for it next year!
