Cameron Mackintosh's Les Misérables (Singapore)

ABBEY: At last we got the opportunity to watch Les Mesirables live. It was held at Esplanade Theatre. Before it started, we took snaps on their backdrops. As we enter the theatre I kept on searching for Row B until I realized it was the frontmost row. Yes, the stage and then our row. I was under the impression that we're on second row.
Anyways, it got me excited. 

I'm able to see the actors clearly with all their facial expressions. So clear that I can see spits from Jean Valjean and the glittering braces of the actress who played Eponine :) One disadvantage is that you cannot see the actor when they lie down on the floor. Another one is there will be limited view if you're not in the center; and we're in the left part.

The musical is great; Opening act, Master of the house, One Day More, every part of it. Really appreciate the hardwork of the production for us to see a masterpiece and enjoy it.






WILL: I wished for me to watch Les Miserables on stage when I saw their movie. I know from my heart that it will create a great satisfaction for myself. 

Last year they announced that they will visit Philippines and I immediately posted a facebook status and tagged Les Miserables facebook page and Marina Bay Sands. Gosh! I am so delighted that they and ALMIGHTY granted my wish! Wohhoooo!

Abbey and Chat was really decided to go for the nearest row on the stage. I reserved our ticket and bought the "B" seats (all A) were greyed out. To our surprise when we reached Esplanade Theatre, it is the first seat, as in stage then us. Exciting right. 

From that side, you can see their expressions, the intimate feeling, even saliva! Haha! Oh! One thing, you can make a stare eye-to-eye with the actors and actresses. Booyeah! 

Even I knew the story, it still never fails me to make me cry! Huhu! 

And on that! I am actually thinking to watch again El Filibusterismo of Jose Rizal. Hmm. Is there any available stage play of that in Manila? Please let us know if have news about it. 

Les Miserables production, crew, artists and musicians. Thank you so much. You all made my heart so happy!

Teo Heng KTV Karaoke Studio - Suntec City Branch

ABBEY: Our highschool singer and friend, Marineth, got to visit Singapore again. And Wilma decided to have karaoke session. We booked a room at Teo Heng KTV in Suntec. It was a Friday night and the place was fully booked. Everybody wants to belt out their favorite tunes. 

The room is clean and you can bring your own food. Just ensure that the room is the same before you use it. They also offers chips and drinks. 


We found it difficult to search for songs. Even using the app is not helpful. I hope this can be looked at. Still we managed to sing some. We  played the songs of Maroon 5 and then catch up with Neth.





WILL: Chat and I were really far from each other and we want to meet her and our tourist friend half-way and on that we met at Suntec City. 


Do not forget to make a reservation 2-3 days before your KTV session or you will end up queueing for hours. 

Teo Heng KTV has a clean room and we were delighted to see some maracas and tambourine. We were given a microphone cover for added protection in spreading virus and bacteria. Oh! We carried our own food but bought the cold bottled water for only $1 at their counter. 

For 3 hours ($16/hour), I do not know if we three are just dumb or the KTV machine is not really a user-friendly but it's hard to search for songs in the catalog. We downloaded their app and still do not help uplift our misery. Haha! Oh darn! We went over to other KTVs but this is the hardest machine to use in selecting, browsing or even searching for songs. 

Anyways, we hit the M2M songs, Backstreet Boys, Maroon 5 and even the latest single of Justin Bieber. Ahm, would Abbey forget to sing some Parokya ni Edgar? Of course not! 

Marineth S. Tongol arrived few minutes before our time is up, haha! She wanted to sing a Miley Cyrus but the song have an accompaniment. Haysss! 

Do not forget to clean as you go guys!

McDonald's Singapore - Angry Bird's Super Red Burger

ABBEY: I was amazed when I saw the ad of Mc Donald's about their new burger in relation with Angry Bird The Movie. It was a red burger. 

Wow, what does it taste like? One night we had it delivered. Lo and behold, a red burger. And when it is red, it means hot. The spicyness is kicking because of the pepper mayo. And the red bun? Well it is tastier than the other regular buns. The burger contains all these; chicken, lettuce, tomato, and egg.



WILL: My lady boss told me that there is a new burger unveiled by McDonalds and it has coloured red buns. Curious of the taste, one night Abbey and I decided to make a McDo Delivery and I deliberately ordered for Angry Bird Burger. 


I took a bite then sipped almost half of the large coke! The fiery pepper mayo sauce is way too spicy for my preference. The ending? We swapped our food. 

At least I know how spicy it taste. Hehe. Good job McDonalds Singapore in innovating your products! Now I am wondering what will be the next flavor they will offer? I love you Mcdo Delivery! Mmmwah!
