Chicago - All that JAZZ!
I cannot imagine it! Chicago in Singapore! OMG! OMG! OMG! Its coming in April to Esplanade theatres! How I wish i could go watch! I wonder how much are the tickets! Its CHICAGO!!!!
Well I have always been a musical buff, seen Phantom of the Opera, Les Miz, Miss Saigon, Cats well Phantom twice. Well what can I say. I will have to thank my aunt for it. I was opened up to such opportunites by her. And in any case I think that Les Miz was the best musical ever! I think I was 10 when I saw it. But seriously, musicals with the song and dance and acts they are just amazing. The music, tempo, it helps to bring ones' emotion and attention all to the show. I cried at Miss Saigon alright. Well, this is CHICAGO! The ultimate entertainment show with song, dance, crime, mischief, WOW!!! If you think Catherine Zeta Jones version was exciting, I think the live musical will knock you off your feet!
And of cos, in Singapore there isn't much of a theatre culture (people dress up for the theatres), I mean we are no broadway but hey have some common sense its the Esplanade theatres mind you. I have seen people going in to theatres in jeans! Come on, jeans! Put on some decent clothes for goodness sakes! If you can pay a for the theatre tickets in a box in the front row, I think you can pay for some decent pants and a shirt! Goodness!
Anyway, culture plays a really big part. Its like, wearing a dinner jacket to the fast food restaurat or wearing a pair of bermudas to a posh restaurant. These days sometimes I find that I take appropriate dressing for granted as well on myself. I refuse to buy new clothes as I think I will eventually fit into most of my old clothes, well look who am i kidding this will take quite a while. So yes, I invested in a few basic pieces with H help when we went to Uniquo(I think I have the wrong spelling). I can only say that H is the sweetest man ever!
Anyway, before I end DAMN! H's favourite X Factor, Jamie 'Afro' Archer is out of the competition and the twins are in. Lloyd Daniels is at risk and Stacey is safe! Woohoo! Wonder will the twins be out next week. Waiting to watch with H on Youtube. X Factor 2009 - Expect the unexpected!

The thing about..
Last week had been a good week. I watched 2 movies! Julie v.s Julia as in Julia Child and This is IT the final pictorial on Michael Jackson. He was a talented man and it is sad that he was gone too soon. I was a fan and will always remain a fan.
Julia Child, a new name to me and the movie inspired me on cooking..and this movie was a special treat from H who was really really wonderful to surprised me with a movie although he knew it was busy week for me and he was headed for a busy time at work still took time out to pamper me. I love you dear!
I wonder if I should buy the book on Julia Child. I am so inspired now....But then again I would always love to get the book to read about her life and her thoughts..so interesting.
By the way, stupid X-Factor this week sees Lucie Jones eliminated..How can!!! ARGH!! Its a talent show! Not an entertainment programe! They are trying to find ppl to represent the UK not to be popular Kids entertainment acts!
But I'm sure nickelodean might pick the twins up as an horror act.hahahahaha

X-Factor UK
It has become a weekly ritual for me and H to watch X-Factor off Youtube in replacement of usual telly since it broke down a few months back.
Not that we watched television anyway cos by the time we get home every night its really late. And nothing is good on telly these days anyway. So we ended up watching DVDs or youtube for programmes.
Not that we shop for DVDs, but I have this video rental service called Hollywoodclicks.com which I would go online to order DVDs that we would watch and it will send to my address and all I have to do is to send it back after watching. So cool right. I know. That is why I have the service and I use it now for DVDs that I would like Elayna to watch and for H and I to watch when we get home.
Anyway, the link is to one of my favourite performers from X-Factor, H's favourite is this guy called Jamie Archer who I now think after Rock week is absolutely amazing. I totally agree with Simon on Jeward they stink and I can't understand how they will be able to survive on radio and music performances. Louie has such a lousy team and his 2 best teams have been voted out because of them!
The entire voting has been so skewed towards those who are least popular but they would happen to be those who can sing! ARGH!so stinks. Watch and you will know. argh!

Car Seat and other matters
Talking about car seat. This is Elayna in her car seat. After much research, H and I decided on a Maxi-Cosi, not a Britax, Graco, Safety First. We went to Baby Avenue at Balestier to purchase. And guess what we found out after purchase, baby Hyperstore is the distributor for Maxi Cosi. So there. Now you know. Anyway, fyi this car seat the Priori Sp costs $268 so its a pretty good bargain and this color is also available in the 2009 color scheme.
So its a good buy. Period.
Research done:
I went online to Babies r Us, elite car seats, amazon to read up on reviews and feedback on the car seats. I even went on this particular site which tells me what car seats fit for which car (but take note, make sure you know the US name for your car model.) http://www.carseatdata.org/.
Also another thing to note. We got a playpen for $98 at Baby avenue. Yes, $98 not some brand you never heard of. Gelite. Only Catch, its blue. Then again, good buy at $98
Will post up a picture soon of the playpen. But for Elayna its okay cos she's kinda petite so it would fit her for quite some time.
Anyway, I have a Manual Medela Harmony pump for sale which I used for barely 30mins cos I was no good with a manual pump. I still prefer my medela electrical pump. So if anyone would like to get a back up, please let me know I will sell it second hand.
So thats it for my thoughts today...usually when I don't work my thoughts turn to Elayna...=D
