HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK..

yes.. as the title suggest, for the whole of last month.. till last wed, i was waiting for it. the local play production by W!ld Rice production-- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It is definitely an excellent production. the backbone of snow white's storyline is still the same-- snow white ate the poison apple and died. but was revived by the prince from a far away kingdom and they lived happily ever after. BUT! if this is it, would i pay so much to watch it?! the answer is NO! But of cuz, that wasnt the case. Hossan Leong, the director, put a little twist to the story and the whole play was very entertaining, engaging, and funny. They talked a little about the singapore's government, a little about china's olympic, the Melamine milk powder scare, and so forth. But of cuz, my friends and i came to a conclusion that cuz Hossan Leong himself is a christian. therefore, during some parts of the play, the songs which they sang, including the opening theme song. if u're a believer, and u play close attention to the lyrics, u'll understand. i dunnoe wad's the title of the song thou, but i decided to give it a title- Welcome to the Kingdom. and in this case, the Kingdom refers to the Heavenly Kingdom from above. when i manage to get the soundtrack/ lyrics, i'll definitely post it up. and u'll know what i mean. :) right.. i'm one person who's not very good with words or explaining stuff.. i'll copy and paste the play's synopsis, and u go read it for urself. :)

SYNOPSIS

Once upon a time in the Eternal Kingdom, there lived a Queen who wanted everything and everyone to be perfect. So, when her subjects turn 18, they are sent for “Enhancement”— a programme to correct their flaws.The Queen holds a beauty pageant every year where she crowns herself as the winner. One day, her Magic Mirror, who cannot lie without literally cracking up, reveals to her that a new beauty has come of age—her own step-daughter Snow White. Poor Snow White is ordered to undergo a nip-tuck by the creepy Royal Surgeon. But she runs away to the Outer Limits, where she encounters junk, vermin and the rapping, breakdancing Seven Dwarfs—outcasts banished from the Kingdom for falling short of the Queen’s standards.Will Snow White escape from the Queen’s manicured clutches? Will her Prince Charming recognise true love in her bad hair state? And will the Queen ever stop coming up with new titles for herself and finally retire?

Empty Me by Chris Sligh

This is a song which i like very much and i happen to hear it from my cousin's blog, and so i decided to share it with u guys. enjoy! :)

Empty Me by Chris Sligh

I've had just enough
Of the spotlight when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood
I've tasted my share
Of the sweet life and the wild ride
And found a little is not quite enough
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change
Empty me of the selfishness inside

Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds onto
Lord, empty me of me so
I can be Filled with You

I've seen just enough
Of the quick buys of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change
Empty me of the selfishness inside

Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds onto
Lord, empty me of me so I can be
Filled with You

Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You, compared to You
Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You, so I surrender all
