Gimme My Grease The Musical Programme Book!
May 21st, 2006
nothing to do with Grease, but i just have to vent
i went to catch Grease earlier tonight - thought it was good, loved it, but kinda expected just a little bit more than what we got. big chunks of the story was left out, and the dialogue moved a bit too fast at times, but the SINGING more than made up for all that. worth a watch, definitely, but not super uber impressive like Stomp was.
and was so upset cos they ran out of programme books :( what lah!
OOH and i’ve just discovered, like, the best cookies in the whole wide world. ever since Mrs Fields outlets closed down in KL i’ve been crawling the walls trying to suppress my soft-cookie cravings. sometimes Famous Amos just doesnt cut it, you know?
the first cookie is their Praline cookie - yummy and buttery with a slight hint of coffee, and a pecan in the middle for some crunch. veddy good, i am likin’. but i like the second cookie more, the dark chocolate cookie! soft and moist with ooey gooey dark chocolate chunks. soooo goooood. their milk chocolate cookie is super yummy as well.
Bakin Boys (pardon the weird name, their cookies are really very nice) is a concession stand outside Madam Kwan’s and Little Penang at the top floor of Suria KLCC. go try!!! they apparently have these ’special-er’ cookies but were sold out. it’s about RM3.50 per cookie. reasonable laaaah for a soft cookie.
i have the Grease song ‘Summer Nights’ stuck in my head. when i got home, i downloaded the song and started dancing to it in the middle of my living room. in my underwear. hahaha.
Summer lovin had me a blast! Summer lovin happened so fast!

subway cookies are nice. the soft baked ones. but it differs from outlet to outlet… lousy qc

Oklah…you sort of like Grease right? I’m 5 hours away from the show and since the sort of review wasn’t so bad, I’m gonna enjoy it with a hati terbuka! ha- ha =:) Oui..damn selamba ar your “Da Vinci sucked monkey balls!” picture. hahaha. and the display picture up there. Damn emo okay..where’s the cute bright and roving pau? This one looked as if the caption is meant to be go- away- la- I- also- got- pms- dammit. And Bakin’ Boys do sound weird in a kinky way. HAHAHAHAHAHA :D

i dunno but never really did like grease the musical plus a friend told me that the sound system at the one in kl was a bit off…think she said it was buzzy or something. if u get the chance to check out les miserables, phantom or lion king those are amazing!

Eh? I was at the Saturday night show of Grease too. What a coincidence. So they ran out of programme books. Was wondering how come they didn’t have any!
8. Waifon | May 21st, 2006 at 7:47 pm
Just came back from the show and to me, it was great! It doesn’t really matter if they cut out a lot scenes because how much can they slot in the 2 hr 15 mins show?
Can’t really listen to what they were saying or singing because their voices was amplified rather unevenly. It was good though. Their beautiful voices made the cut :D Rather funny too. The part they put some thunder and lightning sound effect when Danny Zuko said Grease LIGHTNING! haha. and the eccentric girl who flashed her undies during the dance. kinky scenes when Sandy and Danny kissed in the car. How bout that?
Oh oh oh..I say Harith Iskandar too! and his wife I think. I was star struck. He’s so tall…haha…and he didnt even queue up when paying his bill. oh well~ celebs. They didn’t have enough programme books too tdy. RM 30..worth it meh?

artificially : eh i didnt even know subway has cookies .. @_@ msia subway also?
angpau : doubt away :) we all do different things when the house is empty.
waifon : grease was good, i enjoyed the show! hehe tonight is an emo night ma, so i guess it translated into my webcam pix.
bulat : Summer Nights is SO the best dancing-in-underwear song!!
ginny : what! why didnt we bump into each other!!!
jaywhy : yeah, there was a bad delay from realtime to speakers. but i think the more expensive seating area didnt experience the delay. and oh yes i really want to watch les mis and phantom! not so much lion king
emily t : alamaks how come i didnt see you too!
waifon : they did the scenes quite well actually, for someone like me who hasnt watched Grease the movie, can still understand so it was all good. just that sometimes the dialogue moved too quickly to catch it. scene transitions were good tho! as for the programme book, i usually just buy them anyway. programme books are like a MUST for me :P
pierce : you are welcome .. :)
eric : not great, just very good :) and what cockroach!! it’s damn nice ok. you go buy and see for yourself!
