Last Friday, my sweet dear dear brought me to watch a Video Game Symphony at the Esplanade Concert Hall presented by Singapore Arts Festival. The two planned concerts as well as the additional concert of the Asian premiere of PLAY! were sold out. It is unique as it reaches out to both music players and gamers by combining classical music played by a full symphony orchestra with the pop culture of video games.
Some of the titles played that night might be familiar to most of you. They were Super Mario Bros, Daytona (It goes,"Daytona~.... Daytona~...." when you play the beginner stage that music lolz)and Sonic the Hedgehog. For gamers, you might be more familiar with titles like the Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, World of Warcraft, Kingdom Hearts and Blue Dragon.
My dear dear and I was really very impressed and totally immersed throughout the whole concert. Having seated on the 4th row from the stage, we could feel the full impact of the orchestra. I even saw this musical instrument, the Harp, for the first time in my life. It was huge and so fairy-tale. We simply couldn't get enough of the concert. I clapped so hard until my hands turned red lor. Even after the final title "Final Fantasy VII, One-Winged Angel", the one which we were so much looking forward to hearing it ended, the encore from the audience were deafening. We all want more! So the last title played was Shinobi which won the highest votes online.
Tickets were bought sometime in March to secure the best seats

Me and my excited dear dear

We had Ramen for dinner @ Marina Square before we went for the concert

Pang kor kor, my dear dear's colleague joined us for the concert too. Supposed to have another colleague joining but he couldn't make it at the last min. 1 ticket wasted wor =(

After the concert, I got a sms from lovely Elaine asking me whether I wanna join her and her friends for coffee. Without hesitation, I agreed to join her. We had a great time though it was only for a short while. Let's arrange to meet up again, ya? =)

Did everybody enjoy the super long holidays? I am feeling so refreshed and recharged after the 4 long days of relaxing and resting. Anyway, I met up with two lovely ladies, Noelle and Elaine last Friday for dinner at Harbourfront Sakae Sushi. We even adjourned to Harry's bar after a hearty dinner. It was a great night's out with the ladies and I really enjoyed their accompany.
After the dinner and drinks with the ladies, I was supposed to go Powerhouse to meet my dear dear and his colleagues. Super sweet Elaine asked her super sweet boyfriend to fetch me to the entrance of St James although I insisted I can walk there from Harbourfront Centre. She told me it's too dark to walk there. -_-''' Haha... Really so nice of her.
I enjoyed myself very much at Powerhouse with my dear dear that night too. Its been quite some time since I partied with him le. Below are the photos taken that night with the lovely people.

I cherish sincere friends like them because they are worth it.


Great fun at Powerhouse =D

I enjoyed the most with my dear prince by my side =)

WWE is coming to Singapore this 28th July. When my dear dear got to know about it, he was so excited because he usually watch the wrestling matches from the DVDs. I was pretty excited because like Lyana, I watched wrestling when I was young too. Nowadays, I watched them with my dear dear. Its gonna be a great experience to watch it LIVE man!

So today, I went to book the tickets online for myself and my dear dear. I bought the second highest category for the tickets because I got no money to buy the first category tickets which costs $300 each =(. But nevertheless, my dear dear was thrilled when he heard that I have bought the tickets to watch WWE - SmackDown SummerSlam Tour for both of us =) I think he loves me more now. Haha...

Me, the Little White Riding Hood =P
