Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Based on the title, I thought it would be a lame show. Well, it can't compare to the likes of Les Miserable, of course, but it is certainly a nice show! The show was based on the film, which was based on the book by Ian Fleming. Ian Fleming was most noted for creating James Bond, of course. I wasn't supposed to watch it in the first place, my sister was supposed to watch it with her boyfriend. But, her boyfriend had to go to Japan with his family for their holiday, so I replaced him! It was the best seat I have ever sat at at the Esplanade! They were the most expensive tickets, and were right on the floor! The first row was ''A'' and my sister and I were in row ''o''. I found we were just far enough, but not too far, to enjoy the view of the whole stage! My sister was asleep throughout most of the first half due to her energy absorbing activities before the show... but I thoroughly enjoyed it! The actors were real charismatic and the set design was just fantastic! I found their creation of the car was admirable indeed. With the very good lighting technique, they certainly created the illusion that the car was really flying! I loved the two lead actors, particularly the leading man who played the part of ‘’caring father’’ really well. Right in front of us, there was a real life ‘’caring father’’. He’s American and I know this because while he was walking into the middle of the row, he said ‘’sorry ma’am’’ or ‘’sorry sir’’ to everyone he passed! Even the kids! Then he had a little Math lesson with his son (about 5 years old) by asking him which was seat 12 and seat 13. Aww…. He later went on to explain what was going on in the hall while we were waiting and he changed his son’s T-shirt to a thicker one! It was really one of those ‘’melt your heart moments’’! I started to think ‘’ I wish my Dad was like that’’. Then my sister and I agreed on one point, which was: ‘’we don’t really care!’’

Muahaha…

So here are some pictures I took after the show…

My sister and I walking towards the Esplanade taxi stand. We of course weren't allowed to take pictures inside, so this was the best I could do! The Christmas lights were nice too...


My souvenirs: a programme book, mini car, tickets and a good evening's memory!


I took a cab home and saw this cute cat. I decided to pet it. It kept rubbing itself against me and followed me home! At one point, it BIT me!!! There was no puncture, so no rabies, fortunately. It followed me and went in until my kitchen! Luckily my aunts were at home and they helped me chase it out, while I lured it out with a container filled with a little milk. It did not drink the milk, but I was glad it was gone! Phew!


Just to get everyone into a Christamas mood, I saw this really nice display at West Mall. Of course, you can tell it's at an eye shop. I really liked the use of different coloured crystals, giving it a very cheery look.
