Off to the theaters....



Finally, after searching high and low for tickets, we managed to catch the much-talked-about theater production - Puteri Gunung Ledang, The Musical tonight (Monday). And it was superb!

Despite the fact that our seats were 3-tiers up from the stage, we still managed to feel the stage presence of the fantastic casts. And the board with English subtitles actually helped us understand the song that was sang by the large group of extras. Mind you, the translation was done extremely well that it didn't lose the symbolic meaning of what was being said in Bahasa Melayu.

Playing for a full house tonight, the casts had received a standing ovation from the crowd, mostly cheering for the main cast, namely Tiara, Adlin Aman Ramli & A.C Mizal (yes Ejan... I know he's great :p ).. My hands were numb after clapping so hard through out the show...

Ok lah.. enough raving about the play for the night. Tuan Puteri shall beradu now.. being lulled into sleep listening to the soundtrack of the play...


"Mata temu mata,
Berguguran bicara
Kata demi kata,
Merubah tutur jadi rasa
Hanya kesunyian
Pada kewujudannya
Nafas dan nadi bak terhenti
Pertemuan ini
Kian terasa bagai bererti"






binx: nak lari pegi Gunung Ledang jugak lah...
