"baby, is this for IMF?"
phew, it has been a tough week - was busy running around, hardly at my desk, and i'm now two shades darker (even my spf 50-protected face isn't spared). oh well. anyway, just some random ramblings. the city area especially was given a new uplift for the imf/world bank conference, read that they have gotten orchids, sunflowers and frangipani trees planted all round suntec city and orchard road, maybe we ought to go take a look and snap some pictures. oh yeah, anyway, we'll be at esplanade next weekend to catch "forbidden city" the musical, i'm sure they have already done up that place. because of all this hype surrounding the meeting, we have been pointing out to blinking decorating lights, new paved roads, water displays, wondering if they were there specially for the event, haa. well, on a more serious note, let's just hope the forums and in-depth discussions lined up are able help the third world countries in improving education, fighting disease and combating poverty, and of course, for everything to be smooth-flowing - no terror attacks, please. anyway, is it just me, but can you imagine demonstrations on singapore roads, i just can't imagine that happening here.
forbidden city: portrait of an empress
A historical retelling of the story of China's Empress Dowager, the story is seen from the eyes of an American painter, Kate Carl, who is commissioned to paint the Empress's portrait. The Empress recounts her amazing journey from a young imperial concubine to become the Empress of China and the pressures she faced. The musical explores the myths surrounding her reign, from the controversial death of her only son to her ambitious tussle for power. Having played to 60,000 people in 2003, Forbidden City is Singapore's most successful musical to date. Starring Asian sensation Kit Chan.
