Last nite, me and Feimao went to watch "Chesty Nutty Bang Bang"... but before we reached National Library, we saw a Mediacorp bus and van outside Hotel Intercontinental. Must be some press conference going on there... could it be for the upcoming drama titled "Beautiful Scent", starring Pan Lingling, Zheng Geping and Dawn Yeoh? Definitely not some filming scene, since that will require a lot of money in such a huge and luxorious hotel such as Hotel Intercontinental (wonder if it houses the records of former Intercontinental Champions in the WWE? Haha, just kidding!!). Whatever it is, we'll never know, cos we had to rush to National Library, and the buses would have already left by the time we got up to the 3rd level of the library.
Pictures of the super-tall and magnificent National Library!! Once we got in, we were told that all those who booked tickets for the 3rd level will have upgraded seats at the 2nd level (mostly bcos there were plenty of empty seats)... meaning we will have a better view of the play!! :-D
Non-stop laughter all the way!! There wera many freaking hilarious bits like Joakim emulating Hady Mirza after his Asian Idol win, the NOOKIA ringtone orchestra, the recurring Ribena commercials throughout the show, the Pondan Getaway show (arghhh, Joakim dressed as a Thai lady-boy!!), an Autobot taking the form ... too many to mention!! I couldnt stop laughing the moment I found out who played Lily Chan in "High School Beauty World"... Jonathan Lim!! :-O And even though I didnt really get much of "Hairspray Potter", I still enjoyed it nevertheless. Now my only complaint is on the 251 educational skit, as well as most part of the "88251"... too much reference on Annabelle Chong's record on f'ing 251 men within 10 hours, and wif Yeo Yann Yann playing the infamous Annabelle?? I think a lot of Yuwu fans are really gonna hate Rodney Olivero for poking fun at Yuwu's mute boy role in the film, esp wif those crude cock jokes. The Hokkien translation for Rihanna's hit single "Umbrella" was super hilarious, I tell you!! There was even an interactive session towards the end of the show, where the cast asks us to sing along to get the show going!! After the play ended, we all clapped real loudly and cheered like mad!! Certainly no regrets watching it whatsoever!! :-D
Right after the show, we proceeded to get the booklets... something titled "The Chestnuts Guide to Phacebook" (an obvious spoof of Facebook, like duh). Me and Cherry were going down the escalators when we heard screams of joy and excitement at the Drama Theater... we quickly went up and saw 3 cast members of the play!!
First artiste I approached for autograph was the beautiful Yeo Yann Yann, better known as Da Mu Gua (Big Papaya) from the Royston Tan film 881. I kinda like her... she's the third 881 cast member I took picture wif, after Liu Ling Ling and Qi Yuwu. :-)
Next cast member is someone I know of course... Joakim!! :-p
Then I proceeded to take pic wif Jonathan Lim, the brains behind the Chestnuts plays for the past 10 years... very talented actor/director/playwright!! :-) Couldnt see Judy or Rodney or Celine Rosa Tan anywhere outside the theater, but that doesnt matter. At least I got to chat up wif Joakim once more. Soon after that, me and Cherry went out to the bus stop opposite Bugis Junction...
