Our lovely date

WS's one week leave is coming to an end.. and that means that once again, I'm going to be all alone, sad, miserable and well, lonely. Sighh.. I really wish he didn't have to go.. This week really flew by for me and I wish we had more time to spend with each other. Double sighh... I'm really going to be counting the days before I next get to see him.

On the up side, we went to watch Grease, the musical, last night.. It was really quite fun and very enjoyable. We were thoroughly impressed with the singing because boy, did the singers have amazing voices!! They stayed almost perfectly true to the original 1979 movie so that was quite impressive too.. The only thing that I was kinda disappointed with was the dance choreography. I expected to see so much better, especially after watching Saturday Night Fever in London (which is pretty much a similar kinda show).

The other thing that bugged me was that I was very annoyed throughout the whole show because the whole theatre was very noisy/rowdy. There were tons of school kids and they obviously can't keep quiet.. It was great that the energy level was very high in the theatre, but sometimes you want to hear the actors sing/talk, not the people around you! There was this stupid lady sitting right next to me was singing along (with her 11-year old pudge daughter) to all the songs and it was soooooooo irritating! I mean, I didn't pay all this money to hear you sing, lady.. I want to hear the professionals, thank you very much! Plus, the theatre very cleverly opened a confectionary stall outside all the doors, so basically, throughout the 2-hour show, you could hear people opening sweets packets, slurping on drinks etc. It was highly disturbing!!

But ranting aside, it was quite a good, fun and highly amusing show and I'd definitely recommend all you John Travolta/70's fans to go watch it.. (Have to admit though, like I've said previously, I was definitely more impressed with Saturday Night Fever.)

Ooh, we took some pictures inside the auditorium with my brand new spanking phone! Unfortunately, being that it's a cheapo one, the quality isn't great.. Plus, the lighting in the theatre was quite dim so that doesn't help either! :( Ah well..

Can't really see us, it's too dark!

Anyway, the next part of our date was a very romantic dinner at Petit Paris, a very lovely and authentic French restaurant in the heart of Nottingham. We ordered a 2-course dinner - WS had duck with walnut and asparagus salad for starters and chicken escalope with rocket for the main course while I had Mediterranean fish soup with croutons, mustard and emmental for starters and pan-fried duck with creamy potatoes for the main course. Wish we had taken some pictures, but oh well.. hehe, we were too hungry!

Then we came home and took more photos!!! Hehe.. (Ok, these ones are pictures from a proper camera!)

:)

Me!

.

Well, that's the end of our lovely date.. Sorry it seems like a step-by-step walk through everything, but it's really for my sake, I wanna remember this wonderful day!!

Ooh, WS bought a new phone too.. and his is really a brand spanking new phone.. It's the Sony Ericsson k800i with the new 3.2 megapixel Cybershot camera so obviously, his photos are going to be far better than mine! :P So jealous..

;)

.

The only thing that's better about my camera than his is that I've got this cool application called 'Face Warp'.. like its name suggests, it can warp your face into all different kinds of funny things! Here's an example:

This is WS, looking quite normal (taken with my phone)

This is him, all twisted!

While this one's called 'Insect'!

Ok, that's it from me for now.. again, not the most intellectual of my musings but at least it's entertaining! (Well, if not for anyone else but us! Hehe..) Til' next time.. toodaloo!
