Just a little something to update~
I went with James to watch Turandot Opera at the Esplanade.
" ‘Turandot’ is not your average fairy tale by any stretch of the imagination; as a bedtime story it’s more likely to induce sleepless nights than peaceful slumber. This tale, set in old Peking, is of a dazzlingly beautiful but inhumanly cold Chinese princess who is so determined not to be dominated by a man – citing the rape and murder of her ancestor – that she has sworn never to let a man possess her. Potential suitors have to correctly answer three riddles to woo her, or they risk public beheading – a measure that has cost many a handsome prince his life. Prince Calaf is one such suitor; he gambles with his life at the first sight of the princess."

The play is about this cold-hearted Princess who will only marry the man who can answer 3 riddles of hers... Not a bad opera!
Jason was a cast in this Opera!
Wa lau eh I must say I had learn a lot abt this opera from him lor..
It was my second time to such Opera/Drama plays. I remember my first was with Yik Loong watching The Forbidden City starring Kit Chan, also at the Esplanade. Damn good. I wanted so much to find the CD soundtracks for the play but still couldn't find it till now
