Cuci-Cuci Services M Dalam Kurungan Sdn Bhd

Okay, if i had known that the plot for Cuci the Musical 2 is the same as the first one, i probably wouldn't have spent RM123 on the ticket. RM123 is a lot to pay for something you've watched before. RM123 is worth a pair of shoes! It is worth at least 20 days of lunch. But then again, RM123 for over four hours worth of Hans Isaac? I guess the deal's pretty sweet after all!

Apart from a few improvements in props and the musical sequences, this version saw Jaclyn Victor in the role that was originally played by the amazing Adibah Noor (who set the bar darn high). As good a voice as Victor has, i think she still doesn't quite have 'it' to pull the character off. I mean, a skinny girl with a crazy craving for pisang goreng vs. a large girl with a crazy craving for pisang goreng? How can anyone not think that the latter is more believable?

However, i have to give props when it is due. The show is still funny regardless of the number of times you watch it because the ad libs are ridiculous! From Afdlin Shauki's jelly belly shake (so cute, i'm gonna die!) and a Tamil-speaking Awie, to Nabil's uncontrollable laughter and Hans' failed attempt at not laughing, the four men sure know how to bring the house down. If you didn't watch it, it's your loss!

Now, if only i can get the people of Tall Order Productions to answer my email and send me a copy of the soundtrack, all would be better. Well, not really. All would be better if i could take over Vanida Imran's character when she's on the gondola, doing a duet with Hans. So romantic!

The next time i head to Jusco for grocery shopping, i'm going to pray that this happens to me.



And this video is awesome on so many levels:

It's a musical so that automatically makes it awesome.
Random acts like this put a smile on everyone's face.
The first guy they interviewed after the musical is hot!

Check out ImprovEverywhere for more of their wacky missions. I am officially in love. It's time like this that i wish i'm an American citizen living in New York (where they are based).

Almost Neverending

More than two weeks ago, i was caught in a 14-day week that centered on the stressful four-letter word : W.O.R.K

Deadline was just around the corner and i had to rush my butt off to complete the articles. In that two weeks, my weekday routine would basically see me slaving away for nine hours at work, enjoying one hour of comfort at home at night before plopping myself in front of my computer to finish whatever work that was left.

Then, as people chill on the weekends, i had to do MORE work. What a pain! In that hectic schedule, i had to slot in time for family and friends too. Despite being busy, i am glad to have taken time out to be with my loved ones for they are the reason that i am still sane.

On one Friday i met up with an old friend. We go all the way back to Standard One and i'm very glad to still be able to call her a friend. We've been through ups and downs including an argument - weirdly none of us can recall what it was about - that led us to not talk to each other for two fucking years!



The next day, Karen and I popped over to KLPac to review Broadway Parodies Lagi Lah!. Okay, i must admit that i have never been a supporter of local theater acts but surprisingly, it was pretty wicked! For those who don't know, this musical features popular Broadway hits but with a twist - all the lyrics have been altered to poke fun at the idiosyncrasies of us fellow Malaysians. A must see!



So it's already Sunday. And yet i'm still stuck at home doing work. Luckily, a nice breakaway came in the form of a family dim sum brunch.



The last hours of my Sunday freedom was occupied with completing whatever writing that was left undone. What a yucky way to spend the weekend huh? Just like that and suddenly it was Monday again.
