Blogs from Bugis Village, Singapore, Asia - page 9

I went to Singapore last April 2006. I went there to audition for a theatre training and research program @ Practice and Performing Arts, Waterloo. I stayed at Bugis Village. I thought at first, I would have a hard time, since it was my first travel outside the Phils. and all alone. I did't know anybody there, but my friend sent me contact numbers of his friends so I can ask for help. I arrived there on a friday night, and my first meal...well, I had to eat at one of their fastfood chains that's familliar to me, MCDONALDS!!!;-) but take note, PINOYS, they don't serve rice there..huhuhu.;-) After my first dinner @ Mcdonalds, Bugis Village, Singapore...I had to take some rest.

We arrived at the night safari to see a group of people dancing with and eating fire. Against the dark night sky it was incredibly eye-catching. Then we were all loaded onto a train that took us through the park and the guide pointed out all the incredible animals in the fields around us - ... read more

Arguably One of the Better Local Musical in Recent Times It was a night of nostalgia & musical feast for the 600 audiences who packed the Drama Centre Theatre to the brim last evening. For the kids who grew up in the early 80s, 新谣 Xin Yao was a familiar name for all. 《天冷就回来》, If There Are Seasons ~ the latest musical to hit the local theatre brought back beautiful memories for most. Songs they grew up with, and songs they could relate to as a kid. 《天冷就回来》, If There Are Seasons ~ did not have a solid story plot. What gave the show a boost were the casts immaculate singing that managed to fill in the whatever imperfections. The 3 hours musical succeeded in portraying a serious note revolving around dreams, love and friendship. However, ... read more
