I went to see Mamma Mia! the musical tonight at Lyric theatre at Star city with Adam. It was a great show. We were seated second row from the front, so it was good, even though it's a bit akward at times since it's THAT close to the actors. Just try not to make eye contact with them hahaha.

I've seen the movie many times before and I wish I'd seen the musical first before the movie, because when I watched this, I can't help but comparing it to what's in the movie and Meryl Streep is hard to beat. Still, it was a solid performance from the cast and there are a few songs and scenes that they didn't put in the movie. You can't help to singalong to some/most of the songs and all the audience seemed to have great fun. Thumbs up from me:)

Me, Klai and Tash went to Zilver in chinatown for yum cha lunch. I've never eaten there before but boy, am so gonna come back again! The food was good and we definitely got the best table - right beside the kitchen. The food trolley kept on coming every 5 seconds when we hadn't even had time to eat the one on our table yet. Was soo full by the end of it! :)

Then after work, I went to Newtown to see MIKA with Dem and her friend Vicky. He's playing at Enmore theatre. Before I met Dem, I tried to go to my friend's place. The missing friend. No-one is there. Tried to peek from the toilet, theres sandals and soaps and when I tried to look from the kitchen I could see that there's bread on the table. It's not mouldy at all, so someone must be there recently. I left a note under the door before I left, asking anyone whose there to give me a ring. Hopefully someone will ring me.

Back to Enmore theatre, when we got inside something smelt really bad. We thought it was the carpet, or maybe the smoke from the smoke machine. Me and Dem even sniffed the wall trying to figure out where the smell was coming from. Trust me, it was really bad. After a while, the woman beside Dem started talking to her, I had to do a double-take on her face, and I kid you not, this woman had a full on beard with a moustache. She can deff be the face of the Movember.
We then realised that the smell was actually coming from her!! so we moved to the other side of the room 'cause it was really bad. I was so tempted to take a pic of her, we were all wondering how the hell she can afford $90 tix to see MIKA when she can't even afford to buy deodorant or a razor.

Anyhoo, back to MIKA, the concert was really good. The vibe in the room was just pure joy and fun, and he's obviously having a ball too. I saw him 3 years ago when he played at Fox studio and I actually prefered that concert back then, I dunno why, but this one is still good nevertherless. His support band are awesome and he didn't do any covers at all, maybe because he's got enough original material now to do a 2 hour live show. Fun time for everyone :)

After months and months of waiting, it's finally here! Me and the girls from work went to Acer Arena to see Brit Brit Circus's concert. OMG! The male to female audiences ratio is like 1:10. All the girls are dressing up wearing short dresses and killer high heels. It's like they're all trying to auditions for ANTM.

We got amazing seats, and the concert itself was good. She had lots of amazing dancers on the stage, I thinks it's to cover up the fact that she's mostly just running around from one end to another, and of course, she's miming the whole thing. I don't mind that part, but I wished that she would at least interact more with the audience and talk more. It feels like she's on auto-pilot sometimes, She's the master in hair flicking thou. I still enjoyed it nevertherless. But she's definitely not all there yet. Keep improving Brit, we all love you!

Me and Yas with the merchandise stand in the background, I ended up buying the program.

And here's me and Val who I bumped into while queueing for drinks. We go all the way back from my Total Girl time. We used to sit beside each other so it was nice to finally catch up with her again.

I went to see Avenue Q today with Adam at the Theatre Royal in Kent St. It's a musical about the lives of people and monsters who live in this fictional street called Avenue Q. It's kind of a spoof of Sesame Street. The show itself was funny, raunchy (definitely not for kids) and all the actors were very talented. I was going to see the show back in 2006 when I was in New York, but we couldn't get cheap tickets, so I finally see it in Sydney 3 years later! Highly recommended btw, 4 out of 5:)

After that, we went to see Funny People in the cinema. It's a Judd Apatow movie, starring Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen (who's obviously losing lots of weights for his upcoming role in Green Hornet) and Leslie Mann. The movie is about this movie star who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and so he starts getting in touch with people from his past and trying to make new friends to get over his feeling of loneliness. Its an alright movie, with lots of cameos from famous people, such as Eminem and Ray Romano, but with 2 and half hours running time, I found the movie way too long and lacking in parts that were funny. You could tell a lot of the audience were feeling a bit bored and restless. I give it 2 and a half out of 5.

We had dinner at Delima after the movie. It's an Indonesian Restaurant in Dixon st. Great food there btw. Been there couple of times already:)
Moving on to the next subject hahaha, what the hell is going on with the weather in Sydney??! Raining and windy non-stop since yesterday and this afternoon too. Hopefully it'll get better by tomorrow.
