I will talk, and Hollywood will listen.

Bad case of diarrhoea on thursday night and yesterday. i have no idea why because everything i ate the day before, someone else ate the same thing. whatever it was, it wasn't very nice. try having to go to the toilet like, 6 times... in between your precious sleep. it didn't help that i was gonna have two tests the next day. definitely didn't help at all. it undesirably sucked.

which also reminds me: i think i screwed up my BNT paper. hoorah.

but after a visit to the doctor's, a half-hour sleep and some medicine in the afternoon, i felt alot better by evening. and after an afternoon of consideration, i thought i felt alright enough to go to the show, "Holiday On Ice-Hollywood" at the expo with the complimentary ticket i got.

only when i got there did i realise that the ticket i was holding on to was worth $98, which was the most expensively priced one. we were sitting *inhales* right smack in center of the last row of the front-sector*exhales*(so close to the rink) where the view(minus the man sitting in front of me) was absolutely perfect. i'm glad i didn't waste the ticket.

Hollywood was worth every of my post-diarrhoea-resting time. the show was, how should i say it... spectacular. i dont care if some people thought it was retarded(*whistles at anna*). it was absolutely lovely.

an entire large group of good-looking skaters dancing to the different tunes from films made in Hollywood, and also doing some little acting from some movies, stunts included. they skated to tunes from Titanic, Dirty Dancing, Fame, Footloose(which i loved)..just to name a few. their moves were sooo beautiful, i just wanted to go up there and justtwirl...and twirl...and twirl... ok, i'm sorry. so as i was saying, they had gorgeous skating moves , props and costumes. everything was so pretty. sure, there were a couple of times that some of them fell while doing that spinning in the air move, but did you think anyone mind? of course not.

one of the most exciting moments would have to be the part of the movie 007, where "James Bond" jumped across 2 fire hoops on skates. there was a little magic going on as well, the part where they locked him up in a wooden box and he came out from the audience section in a different suit. ah, James Bond indeed. *raises eyebrow* Charming man, he is. The same guy who played the baddie in the Charlie Chaplin segment. the same guy who jumped over 5 or 6 people kneeling next to each other, on skates. kinda like one of those charity shows on tv, except this was much cooler.

my favourite part would have to be the Moulin Rouge bit. Gorgeous skaters, gorgeous settings, gorgeous moves. the best part was when the entire group did the "can-can" to Fatboy Slim's "Because We Can" tune. the moves were so well coordinated. the line was so straight. the costumes were so striking. i wanna do the "can-can" too.

the best skater had this mega-watt smile. he Never.Stopped.Smiling. and his teeth were so white, they should stop endorsing Sylvester Sim. c'mon, let this man do what he should really be doing- toothpaste or teeth whitening commercials. oh that perfect smile. he was undoubtedly the best skater though.

of course, not forgetting these 2 characters who made everything funny. they were these 2 guys who were "auditioning" time and time again just to be able to act in hollywood. one was big and tall, and the other was strong but small. they would appear in between segments and do funny moves for the "director", who kept saying "NO" until the final part where he finally said "ALRIGHT!". aww.. they finally signed the contract. everyone in the audience started cheering. it's like we watched them change from nothing to something.

it was a fresh experience.

oh did i mention that we saw the Team Singapore Gymnasts who got gold in the Sea Games too? yeah we did. Lee Wen Si was really pretty. ok that was kinda random.

anyway, because of this show, zhen and i couldnt find a right time to meet. i feel so guilty about that. sorry zhen(if you ever read this), i only knew this at last minute! i promise i WILL find a day to meet you soon. but i think i got my just deserts. diarrhoea.
