forbidden chestnuts & bad prata
i'm quite embarrassed to say that it was my first time at the new national library, never had the chance (or thought) of stepping in there, and must say the drama centre, which we never knew existed, was rather impressive. the reason why chestnut is back for the tenth time this year is because of the use of creativity that's found in almost every segment of the production, and also the show programme (theme based on a particular brand of condom (see pic), even the fine prints can be hilarious). although the brokeback mountain scenes are far too sleazy and rather distasteful (is this the reason why there were several pairs of homosexuals?), we particularly enjoyed the matrix and ez-link deposit story, and remakes of musicals like notre dame, phantom of the opera, and forbidden city (jonathan lim as kit chan, and hence, the hello kitty fan). i guess the addition of judy ngo and rodney oliveiro, hence more characters in a scene, spiced things up a little, although oliveiro was still a little stiff with his dance steps. the show was overall very entertaining, and more importantly, the bf enjoyed himself thoroughly (the tickets were a surprise present). :-)
after the show, it was too late to ask anybody out for supper, hence, we went for a quick prata meal together at the famous cheese prata shop near NUS. is it just my fussy taste buds, or has the standard really dropped so drastically? anyway, first the drink order was wrong, then the curry, and kosong prata came served cold, the mushrooms in the mushroom prata was simply kosong prata sprinkled with a few slices of canned mushrooms, and then there's this hateful cat that kept going under my chair! argh!!! i want my prata warm and crispy, and curry with some oomph in it!
anyway, spot our new little addition - dumbo, the flying elephant! hehe!
below is a way-overdue picture of our homemade dinner last weekend. there were some ingredients left in the fridge, and not wanting to waste them (as his mum hardly cooks), we decided to prepare our own dinner. rather healthy dishes - steamed tofu with minced pork and diced carrots (too much meat, hence the whole big chunk), and mixed vegetables with garlic and oyster sauce (baby kailan, carrots, and my favourite straw mushrooms). must give credit to the bf who makes the perfect rice - fluffy with tender and separate grains.
