[press call + gala opening night] West Side Story

The 'West Side Story' is described as 'Broadway's Greatest Dance Musical', and it is inspired by Shakespeare's tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet. This dance musical received wild acclaim during their sold-out Seasons around the world which include London, Sydney and Tokyo.

 
The 'West Side Story' is a musical about gangsters in the 1950's, and is beautifully mounted and filled with love, romance as well as raw emotions. The story is set in the 1950s in New York between 2 rival gangs, The 'Sharks' from Puerto Rico, and The 'Jets', a white American gang. An impossible and forbidden love occurs between Maria, the sister of the leader of the 'Sharks', and Tony, an ex member of the 'Jets'.
 
 
'West Side Story' is definitely of the world's greatest musicals for the simple reason that no one ever forgets their first time seeing this iconic show!
 
 
 
I was immersed by their astounding vocal range on classic songs such as 'Maria', 'Tonight' and 'America'. I was also completely swept up by the iconic scene when Tony climbed up the Balcony to meet Maria, as the two professed their love for each other.

 
Tony and Maria are so in love with each other that it was painful to see them end up in a tragic and bitter-sweet ending! Nevertheless, I had a great evening night of entertainment from this timeless American classic. The choreography and dancing was beautiful, and I'm sure most of the audience at the show was captivated by it! Thanks for the invite, Base Entertainment Asia and Sliding Doors Entertainment.
 
 
The 'West Side Story' is now playing for a limited season till the 30th September 2017 at The MASTERCARD Theatre, MARINA BAY SANDS.

Preview screening of Planes

 Thanks Claressa for asking me along to join her for the preview screening of Planes at GV VivoCity.   --- Posters of Planes ---         I was thinking to myself during the show, has PIXAR run out of ideas to make a movie? This movie has all the hallmarks of a standard PIXAR movie, such as Cars/Wall-E/Toy Story, with the looks and graphics being the same.     The movie, Planes is a carbon copy of 'Cars' with both the films logo being similar. Oh well, seems like a rip off to me!       The film focuses on Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook), an ambitious crop-dusting plane that predictably spends his days flying over tall grass spraying fertilizer. His dream is to become a racing plane, soaring high and racing around the world.   Though he is built not for flying this capacity but his biggest drawback is that he is afraid of height, as he gets used to flying at low heights.   Skipper Riley (voiced by Stacy Keach) i

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products.
