"A MUSICAL about wizards, witches, flying monkeys and an emerald city may not seem ostensibly Jewish.

Based on Gregory Maguire’s parallel novel set in the Land of Oz, Wicked has been brought to the stage by Jewish-American composer Stephen Schwartz.

It tells the story of Elphaba (Amanda Harrison), a misunderstood teen with a green complexion, who forms an unlikely friendship with Glinda (Lucy Durack), her fresh-faced and popular opposite.

Forced to room together at a toffy boarding school, the pair’s relationship gets off to a rocky start.

But they gradually learn to accept each other’s differences -– Glinda even gives the decidedly uncool Elphaba a lesson in popularity in the upbeat, musical highlight Popular (I’ll show you what shoes to wear/ How to fix your hair/ Everything that really counts to be popular).

Things aren’t as rosy in the Land of Oz, however. The not-so-wonderful Wizard (played by theatre veteran Rob Guest) and his press secretary Madame Morrible (Maggie Kirkpatrick in fine form) have organised a scare campaign against the talking animals of Oz.

And when Elphaba tries to intervene, she’s demonised..." continue

Wicked~ the review explains clearly that this is a good show. For I don’t have any past experience on musical shows, I can’t make comparison but overall I enjoyed it. For it’s touching, hilarious and interesting throughout the scenes, and also the colourful setup in the theatre was eye-catching, all the artist are talented, conductor caught my attention, musics and lyrics are pleasant~

Drinks are special and delicious…

The Audience are wonderful…

Minami-ke - Chiaki the Princess

On average, I’ll watch at least one anime a day since I need them to babysit me to sleep – it’s a habit…

From that influence, if anyone happens to tell some cold joke in front of me, I’ll have that image of flying crow squawking over their head or the ‘uhh’ look with few drops of sweat behind – very animated…

Chiaki: " What is a thing that starts crying and becomes smaller after it puts on its red hat? "

Apparently, I’m watching this comedy anime - Minami-ke (Review). It’s the slice of life story about this three sisters in Minami Family: Haruka, Kana and Chiaki.

Haruka is the oldest and responsible for house chores and the well being of both sister. Kana is the middle one who is impolite, rough and funny; annoying Chiaki is her hobby. While Chiaki is the youngest and the smartest of all three; she is a good analyser, meanest but respects and looks up to Haruka and the most important issue is that she is my favourite character in this one.

The reason I make reviews of anime in here is because I’ve watched heaps of them and since I can’t keep all of them due to limited hard disk space, I’ll put them in here so I’ll remember the title of my favourites, too much to remember. Also, using this chance to share with my anime addict friends…

Minami-ke is funny!

Familiar with this epic sound track!? Does it give you an adventurous feeling yet? Yeah I went adventure with Harrison Ford last night; it was soooo exciting!! Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's new discovery that bones of alien are pure Crystal! There are some interesting bug scenes like scorpions and swamps of big Ants!!

Want Advanture? Enter at your own risk~

After all, I still prefer Legendary show like LOTR~

I'm very obedient over the weekend; I stayed home playing around with the functions of my new camera! I bought it through e-bay for AU235 - brand new Brica (Taiwan Brand) 10 mega pixels with 3x optical and 4x digital zoom. It was a good bargain but I was worried at first that I might get ripped since I don’t trust e-bay sellers. So for the past 3 months, I’ve watched that particular seller’s feedback and checking forums about Brica’s pros and cons to know more. Despite the model’s parts are hard to find on the market, the price and quality are all at acceptable level since spending too much on a Digital Camera is the last thing I want. The only thing that I hope for is that it is as durable as Canon; where you can knock or drop (carelessly) as many times as you want and it will still work!

The picture quality is not too bad for its price, I'm not professional in this but I like the outcome. These are some of the nice ones I took in my room...
