Best weekend ever up in the snowy Victorian Alps! Staying at Hotel Pension Grimus @ Mount Buller

September 28, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Woohoo! All my life, I've always wanted to experience snow and to see snowflakes with my very own eyes.

This trip to Mount Buller has made my childhood dream a reality *bigwidegrin*

 

Remember the earlier blogpost about this roadtrip on Day #1? I was still up the snow-mountain then.

But now I'm back!

 

Say hello to the new Snowboarder in town!

 

Oh and I forgot to mention in the previous post – there were names for every corner up the mountain.

The one called 'Unnamed Corner' made Kayla and I laugh. 'Dump In Corner' made me giggle too 

 

But this corner made me semi-freak out 

 

We arrived after 5 hours. I was awed by the cosy Tyrolean vibe that this hotel boasted the moment I laid eyes on it.

Staying in a lovely place on the Victorian Alps for the weekend? I could get used to this 🙂

 

Here I stand, at the two-time champion award-winning Hotel Pension Grimus!!  

 

I soon realized that we will be spending the weekend in one of Australia's leading Ski-Resort hotel :D

 

Buddy Kayla and I just before check-in

 

The moment we entered the hotel lobby, we were greeted by its warm, cosy atmosphere and a friendly receptionist at the front desk. Whilst the rest were busy talking to the receptionist and getting keys to our rooms, I took to snapping photos of the hotel interior straight away.

 

It made me feel right at home 

 

A ski-hotel with a modern concept yet retaining the traditional cabin/lodge features

 

Coat hanger to place our thick, snow jackets and overcoats

 

We were ushered to our respective rooms 🙂

 

My eyes widened with delight as we entered the room. It was beautifully furnished, spacious and brightly-lit.

The refrigerator was well stocked with lotsa goodies too! 

 

Pretty, ain't it?

 

Ssssooo cosy and screaming to be snuggled in under the covers!

 

After enthusing over the room, having a hot bubble bath in our jacuzzi and taking a well-deserved rest, we decided to dine at the hotel's fine-dining restaurant just downstairs, called Kaptan's Restaurant.

 

Camwhoring while waiting for my missur to be ready

 

And off we went to Kaptan's Restaurant! We'd best be off; I'm starving! 

 

I love its wooden concept + heaps of photo frames on the walls!

 

Chilling nearby Herbie's Cocktail Bar while waiting to be seated.

There was a fireplace beside our table. Squeee! :D (But it  wasn't fired up, unfotunately.. but STILL)

 

It was not until we sat down & gave the waiter our orders that we realized…..

 it was a FINE DINING restaurant.

 

…… Blimey. We were severely under-dressed ;( Aaaargghh.

Major fashion faux pas, if you ask me. Hey, in our defence, we were on holiday and dressed for comfort! (Okay fine. To be honest, we didn't research what kind of restaurant we were dining in first)

 

To make things even more awkward, the tables around us were filled with guests dressed to the nines talking about their high-flying careers, investments and their shares (as though trying to upstage each other!) while we were having our meals enjoying each other's company giggling about the fun day we had and inside jokes without a care in the world.

Anyway, here are our choice of meals from the dinner menu

 

 

Entrees

Potato & Leek Soup served in a shot glass

Tempura Soft Shell Crab with Watermelon, Persian Feta Salad & Sesame Dukkah

 

Mains

Whole Buxton Trout with Beetroot, Almond Cream, Zucchini Flower & Pepper Crisp

Organic Corn Fed Chicken Breast on Sweet Corn Puree, Leek Fondue & Austrian Cheese Tortellini

 

The food was exquisite, without a doubt. We enjoyed the shotglass soup and my chicken was really tasty. Kon couldn't stop gushing over his crab  The fish was tender but we were in for a surprise when we found out how wicked its bones are –

 

I've had heaps of different fish before but never trout.

Its bones could put a porcupine to shame anytime!

 

After dinner, le boyfie got me into Sudoku (yes, I have never played before).

To be honest, I know all the rules and HOW to play it but, I just couldn't be bothered to play one for myself.

 

 

Oh and… don't you think this photo below has the potential to be a movie poster?

 

No?

 

Well, you'll see. Challenge accepted.

 

Told you.

 

The very next morning, we were awaken by 2 trays of hot breakfast in bed by Pension Grimus.

Talk about top notch service! :) Everything was so delicious too.

 

I especially loved my mushrooms, hash browns, buttered croissants and scrambled eggs!

OMG AND PEACHES! 

 

Hotel Pension Grimus provided rental for ski & snowboarding equipment too

 

After breakfast and some snoozingcanoozling, t'was time to head out to the snow.

..Head out to the snow.

..THE SNOW.

..SNOW!!!!!!!!

 

OHMYGOODNESS. Finally. Real snow.

My first touch of snow (albeit through the snow gloves)

 

The staff at the ski hire made me a very happy girl.

Gave me a red snowboard to use for the day which matched the red gloves Greg lent me 😀

 

 

oohmy. le snow!

 

 

I'd bask all day in the snow if I could

 

Sillyfuntimes 😀

 

To me, snowballs aren't as easy to make as it seems.

Mine kept getting lopsided and misshapen! Such noob skills.

 

Well, this one wasn't too bad if I do say so myself! 😀 😀

 

My snowboard and I

 

Le boyfie and I just before our snowboarding sesh!

 

behold Master Greg's 3 students in snowboarding

 

Fell over like, 50 million times

 

We got separated at one point while snowboarding and when we finally found each other, we decided to snowboard down the mountain while holding hands. But we gave up as we kept falling over and overshotting each other not to be able to begin at the same spot together! 

Bummer.

 

Downdowndown the run

 

Practice makes perfect. I'm now taking a break after all that snowboarding!

 

Cold, gloomy weather

 

Group shot after we all managed to find each other at the foot of the run!

Kon & I 🙂  Kayla & Greg

 

As I was so keen on actually playing/being silly in the snow, leboyfie decided to bring me to the snowplay area.

Hey! I missed that out during my childhood, what better time than now to make up for it?

 

Snowplay! 

 

Do you remember how I was obsessing over the snow and the 3 main things I MUST DO?

1. Make a snow man

2. Make a snow angel

3. Throw a snowball at someone

 

NUMBER ONE –  check!

 

NUMBER TWO – check!

 

NUMBER THREE – check!

 

No surprises on who my victim is 😛 Poor Kon got snowballed over and over again.

He had his fair share of snowballing me down too. Snowfight FTW 

 

We took approximately half an hour to build our snowman

our "illuminati snowman" as a random guy claimed it to be LOLOL

 

I was very proud of our snowman. And he's not JUST an ordinary snowman, okay?

He's a celebrity; received lots of attention from everyone and all wanted to take photos with our snowman. 

 

Our snowman sure got heaps of loving from me

He's a cool three-tiered snowman who wears sunglasses & likes snowboarding! 

 

 

We went to bed early that night as we were exhausted from all the snowboarding & our day out!

I was determined not to spend some $AUD80 (which is RM240 in my currency!) *regurgitates blood* for a lift pass, so I hiked up the hill each time I finished snowboarding down the run. It was insane.

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bBUD8fozUk

Short VLOG of snowplay! 😀

 

Fancy climbing up a snowhill being resisted by snow and carrying heavy gear. Gofightwin!

 

Buffet breakfast in Kaptan's Restaurant the next morning 🙂

 

Very happy how the hotel provided us free wifi.  TOTAL PLUS POINT! Our last day was spent rather chillaxed. 

We also decided not to snowboard again today (our bodies were aching!) but spent it leisurely and in the spa!

 

We had our own private spa & sauna

 

It was awesome! Best to unwind in the hot bubbly spa and sweat everything out in the 50°C sauna.

So relaxing till I almost fell asleep 

 

After spa & sauna. Okay, time to head out in the cold again!

 

Had lunch and prepared to go home.

What can I say? One of the BEST WEEKENDS I've ever had in a while.

 

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!!

Greetings from Mount Buller! Our very first snow experience together

September 16, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Express post from my iTouch!

Finally! My dreams of going to the snow, playing with snow and even seeing snow for the 1st time, came true!

And it's even better with someone special and your good friends to experience it with

 

20110917-035703.jpg

Yup! This is it.

Konzylove and I on our very first snowtrip 

 

We departed from Melbourne all the way up Mount Buller.

Cruising along the highway, I caught sight of many beautiful sceneries! Here are some of them:

 

20110917-101222.jpg

20110917-101829.jpg

 

iknowright. How beautiful is the outback Australia?

LOL towards the end, Greg's car overheated and we had a half an hour break in the middle of the highway 

 

20110917-102402.jpg

The boys doing their thang

 

20110917-102232.jpg

Taking a MOTHER breakkie! Well, he did.

But I had chocolate milk instead 😛

 

So after a grueling 3.5 hour roadtrip along the highway, we finally arrived our destination! 😀

 

20110917-100743.jpg

Thanks Mr. GPS for guiding our way!

 

 20110917-102333.jpg

Sunny days are awesome!

 

When we finally got there and parked at the carpark, we were told that the taxi fare was AUD$18.50. 

EACH.

 

Wait, what? Almost 20 bucks per person just for a 5 minute drive? Screw it. 

We didn't wanna be ripped off and ended up hiking 3KM up the hill like a bawse!

 

20110917-102443.jpg

Slowly but surely.

Wasn't easy as we had heaps of luggage to drag up with us

 

But we finally got up in the end as a good samaritan helped to drive us through our last 500meters 

 

 

20110917-100443.jpg

I'm on top of the world!

 

Roadtrippin' w dearest boyfie & another lovely couple – my buddies Kayla & Greg, spells fun!

 

20110917-102206.jpg
Checking into our accommodation, the Pension Grimus Ski Hotel!

 

I was so excited; beyond exhilarated upon seeing snow for the very 1st time with my very own eyes.

Hey, ima tropical island girl, can't blame me 😉

 

20110917-100943.jpg

This weekend getaway up the snow mountain is gonna be amazing.

 

20110917-102312.jpg

 

Can't wait to build snowmen, snow angels & to ski, toboggan & snowboard already!

Although the rental of snow gear, snow attire is gonna cost me a bomb, it's gonna be worth it!

 

 20110917-102923.jpg

For now, all we gotta do is wait 

There's just something about getting warm kisses on a blistering, cold night 

 

Goodnite 😀 More updates soon!

500 days of Summer, Autumn and a lil bit of Winter!

May 23, 2011 by thejessicat

 

I must admit that when I first arrived in Melbourne, I had a pretty hard time adapting to the weather.

It was temperamental and yet excruciatingly cold when the sun sets!

 

They say its very likely to experience 4 seasons in ONE DAY. That's how unpredictable it is.

 

The sun shines brightly during the day but the cold wind is enough to give you chills anytime

 

And you call that Summer? Yeah, I arrived in mid February – when it was in the middle of Summer.

I'm sorry, if ya think Australian Summer this year is anything remotely close to any other day in Malaysia, you're terribly wrong.

 

You would never want to be caught dead outdoors in the early mornings

it's FREEEEEEZING!

 

As mentioned, it's not too bad during the day but being typical Malaysian, I'm so used to wearing very

little clothes that I actually forget about how cold it is outside

 

A random mini green pinecone we found.

Whose palm is that btw?

 

 I spend the days indoors with my housies in the West

 

And my mates from the house next door!

 

Always up for a drink or two!

 

As fun as it is in the West, I spend more of my time in South now

I'm glad to have made an awesome bunch of friends there. Love them much!

 

The route between West rez & South rez

 

Sunny days for the Summer, but it never gets anything close to 25 degrees celcius

 

Chilling by South 9's porch

 

At the uni lounge deck with some of my mates!

From L-R : Levan, Todd, Devin and Deanna

 

Without realizing it, the days of Summer are over and we are now in the midst of Autumn.

 

The leaves on the trees has turned yellow in preparation to fall

 

Bright yellow, vermilion orange and deep, scarlet reds beautifully scattered on the ground

 

Different trees shed their leaves at different times.

This tree, for example, was a tad late in joining the rest of his kind, but boasts a beautiful, burgundy hue.

 

Walking by this tree after classes, I can't help but to stop in my tracks

and admire Mother Nature's wonder

 

One morning, as the sunlight peeped through my window and in the near distance, I spotted a tree with bright red leaves.

Seeing that red is my favorite colour and the fact that I never once noticed this tree just outside my rez, I whipped out my camera and bolted through the door in my pyjamas.

 

Excuse the straight-out-of-bed face and hair!

I just had to take a picture with it immediately 😀

 

Here it is again. The rare, bright red ones standing out from the crowd.

Be inspired. I know I am. ;)

 

As of now, it is nearing towards the end of Autumn and we are expecting Winter to arrive soon.

The days are even colder than before and the nights bring frost to the grass and mist to our mouths.

 

Every night hits below 5 degrees celcius and I spend all my time right in front of the heater now.

The roaring warmth helps to keep me from freezing my arse off.

 

 

Branches are left bare and empty for Winter

 

No wonder it's so cold. You can actually feel the chill in the air. I soon found out that it was already snowing at Bendigo, some 4 hours away.

I can't wait for my snowboarding, skiing and tobogganing trip up Mount Baw Baw with my mates in late June when the blanket of snow are inches and inches thick!

 

Here's to hoping it will snow in Melbourne city or Gippsland too! 😀

Not that I intend to freeze or frostbite myself to death, but simply because I've never seen snow before in my entire life!

Photos + Videos! Peter Pan The Musical Gala premiere 2010 @ Sunway Lagoon Amphitheater

December 3, 2010 by thejessicat

 

Think of Christmas, think of snow,

Think of sleigh bells off you go!

 

So this was it. When I was extended an invite to Peter Pan : The Musical Gala, I couldn't be any more ecstatic as the Disney girl in me insisted I attend this!

The last time I ever watched Peter Pan was when I was… say, 6 years old or so?

 

 

And now, 15 years down the road, I am watching an adaptation of the early 1900 piece, 'Peter Pan – The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up', in a full-blown stage musical!

I arrived early at Sunway to avoid the massive jam! Had myself a cuppa double shot expresso mocha at the adjacent Starbucks while watching the cars roll in 🙂

 

 

Entering the vicinity of Sunway Lagoon, we were given an option of whether to jump aboard the buggy or take a 5 minute stroll to the Amphitheater itself. Clearly from the pictures above, no prizes for guessing which choice I made!

Heck, if I were wearing my trainers or flats I would choose the latter.

But since I was in heels, laziness got the better of me 😛 😛

 

 In the buggy! 🙂

Which was pretty fun and windy ride that reminds me of my Tioman Island trip

(zomg just remembered I haven't blogged about it yet!)

 

 

Arriving the entrance of Sunway Lagoon Amphitheater!

 You can see the amphitheater seats in the background!

Was kinda early so the crowd hasn't begun rolling in yet

 

 

Was ushered to my seat, yay for front rows! 🙂 The red zone.

Here's the very pretty set-up all ready for the show to kickstart at 8PM

 

 

Lights, camera, action!

Oh, and is that London's famous Big Ben clock tower? 🙂

 

By golly, it is!

 

Soon, more and more people began filling up the seats.

Spotted some of the usual faces coming in and also ushered to the same zone as I was 🙂

 

 Saved a seat for buddy Anis right beside me!

 

Bok was waiting beside me too before Serge took up the seat

 

Hmmm.. okay, waited quite long la actually. Heh 😛

It said 8PM on the ticket but that actually means 9PM acording to Malaysian timing LOL

 

 A sweaty and lethargic girl camwhoring while waiting. Faster begin already!! 😀 😀

Key brass chain-necklace by Soak Republic

 

 

Finally the whole amphitheater was fullhouse!

 

Okay, that was a whole lot of people. O__o

 

Chris Colby, the director of the entire production, then came forward to introduce himself and this musical to us.

Chris was really comical when he read out the formalities of "Datuk-datuk" and "Datin-datin" (titles to adress the local bigshots) and tried pronouncing other Malay words like "Majlis Bandaraya Subang" "Majlis Bandaraya Sri Petaling" (city councils) and the like.

 

Very good try nonetheless!!

 The man himself whose brainchild we were about to watch, Chris Colby!!

 

And it began with a blast!!

Ice blast, more of. It started snowing foam down the stage as a bunch of delightful dancers and main talents began their performance.

 

 

I vowed that when I set foot in the United Kingdom next year, Imma spend my first ever White Christmas there!

 

 

The musical got the ball rolling with a very popular Christmas song, 'Sleigh Ride'.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing~
Ring ting tingle-ing too~
Come on, it's lovely weather~
For a sleigh ride together with you~



 

Outside the snow is falling~
And friends are calling "You Hoo"~
Come on, it's lovely weather~
For a sleigh ride together with you!

 

 

That's one of my fave Christmas songs ever 🙂

 

 

Wendy Darling, the co-star looked really beautiful and chirpy on stage!

 Just like how she was portrayed in Disney's version of Wendy 🙂

 

 

If I recall correctly, there were altogether more than 10 songs sang and danced to!

 

 

The famous London West End theater professional actors and actresses did a fabulous job dancing, twirling, hopping, skipping and singing to the music! Trust me, I know exactly how tiring it is.

I've been in a theater production several years back myself and hell yes, all the rehearsing and practice sessions drained the life of me 🙁

 

 

Wendy was having fun immersed in her colourful imagination of music, laughter and joy when Mr. Darling knocked on the door.

Oh no! It's father!

 

 

 

Mr. Darling was portrayed as the strict and stern father figure, taking no nonsense from Wendy as she tells her stories of fairies, the Lost Boys and a boy who never grew up

He brushed her account of seeing a boy standing by her window as a figment of an imagination and tucked her into bed.

 

Wendy even showed her father Peter Pan's shadow much to his disbelief

 

On a side note: Poor thing! Like SERIOUSLY? Which father won't be alarmed when there is a MALE standing at his DAUGHTER'S window AT NIGHT?

Ya know, if my dad ever did that to me in real life I'd probably ask him, aren't you worried that this boy will kidnap and rape me or something? Pfftt.

 

 

Ok reality check over 😛 Back to Neverland please!

 

 

 

So the sad Wendy obviously not being able to sleep, still harboured wishful thinking about Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.

She talked to her dog, Nana – of which was also portrayed excellently!

 

Walt Disney's image of Nana

 

It was also pretty hilarious to think that there was actually a person inside a furry St. Bernard costume!

The recorded barking sound was played in sync with the person inside acting all frisky and replicated any doggy-antics 🙂

 

 

Hi Nana!! 🙂 🙂

 

Peter Pan then came into the scene, standing by Wendy's window ledge with his hands on his hips.

He was looking for his shadow that he left behind; which I find rather strange, to have a shadow detached from a person. 😀

Well, it has been this way since the 1915 version!

 

Wendy then reattaches Peter Pan's shadow by sewing it back on his body (!!!!)

 

As shown from the ancient illustration below

 

After Wendy finished putting it all back, the very eggcited Peter Pan calls out his signature cock-a-doodle-doo!

 

 

Peter then begins to adjourn home and asks Wendy to come along with him.

But.. how?

 

FLY, OF COURSE!

All it takes is faith and trust, and just a little bit of pixie dust 🙂

 

But… where does Peter Pan live? Where on earth is Neverland?

You don't need no GPS nor Google Maps because…

 

… "it's just the 2nd star to the right, and straight on 'till morning!" 🙂 🙂

 

How nice if I were to tell my friends where I live and easily go "It's just the 2nd house to the right and straight on 'till you see a 7-11!"

*envisions self pointing to a far distance*

 

So what are you waiting for, Wendy?

Won't you fly with me? 🙂

 

Up up up they go to Neverland!

 

Question is, what happened to Wendy's 2 other brothers, John and Michael?

Maybe they just dissolved into thin air or disintegrated into pixie dust for unknown reasons. Hmm… Just kidding!

 

We can fly! We can fly! We can fly!

 

Yes you can fly. Now, here's a video 🙂

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eioff6yz_VI

Thanks to Anis for lending me her camera! xoxo

 

 

Random shot of the cocky and mischievous Peter Pan amongst the giant mushrooms 🙂

 

This is Mr. Smee! 🙂 Captain Hook's pirate sidekick

He went "HIYA FELLAS!" and we all had to go "HIYA SMEEEEEE!!"

 

Smee steering Hook's ship!

Another dance session and a pretty cool pirate-ish song played 🙂

 

 

 So now we have all the pirates…

 

 

…but where's Captain Hook himself?

 

 

I wonder. Come on out, Hook! Arrrrr!!!!

 

 

Suddenly, a loud thunderous cackle reverberated through the amphitheater and spotlights were on Captain Hook at the very same entrance we used to come in! The crowd applauded with excitement.

 

 

This sinister character was bellowing his dramatic, evil laughter upon his appearance.

Oooh. I'm so scared.. but could I borrow your hook to hang my laundry? 😛 😛

 

 

He was pretty gung-ho, cruel and nasty.

Very much what I remember of Captain Hook from my younger days!

 

 

He hears of this Wendy person Peter Pan brought to Neverland, and hatched this diabolical plan to kidnap her and make her their mother instead of Pan's.

But why would you need to kidnap young girls and make her your mother, Hook? You should be ashamed!

 

Take a look at yourself, you fully grown man! *wags accusing finger* 😛 😛


But regardless of whatever logic there is, his minions agreed in unison with his plan.

 

Hurrah!!! We're gonna kidnap Wendy!

 

And they did.

 

Oh but wait, take a close look at Captain Hook's facial expression!!!

 

Bwahahaha. I couldn't stop laughing. 😛 😛

 

So he went on and on threatening Wendy but OH NO!

 

Hold it just a sec – what's that sound I hear?

Ticking? Tick tock tick tock goes the clock

 

The frightened Hook was so alarmed that he summoned Smee to be on the lookout for the crocodile.

 

Why is Hook so afraid of crocs?

If you didn't know, you sure don't know your Disney well! 😛 😛 Go find out! 😀

 

Hellllooooo crocodile!

 

There was also a person inside the croc outfit which I presume *could* be the same person playing Nana? Hehe. And I don't know if it's of any coincidence but Crocs Malaysia happens to be one of the sponsors of this musical! 🙂 🙂

 


It was also pretty silly and hilarious watching a crocodile standing and walking on 2 feet, shaking hands with Tiger Lily and her red Indian clan!

I remember laughing so hard at the crocodile's antics! 😀 hahaaha

 

Yay Wendy is rescued!!

*claps*

 

Wendy kinda has this crush on Peter which is fairly obvious in Disney's cartoon as also in this musical adaptation.


Hey woman, take it from me. He just wants you to babysit him and the Lost Boys so don't get your infatuation nor hopes too high up! 😛

After all, he's the boy that never grows up…

 

and is a carefree and free-spirited soul.

What will happen when you're all old, wrinkly and menopausal when he's still swiftly flying around?

 

Ain't gonna work out.

 

Peter Pan and the Lost Boys! 🙂

 

I love how they were frolicking with each other telling each other bedtime stories and jokes

 

Oh, and if any of you were wondering where Tinkerbell was….

She was there! She was there with us during the musical too!

 

 

Just… well.. in a form of a bright ray of yellow/green light and her signature tinker-sounds. Because obviously, no one was small enough to play her – not even a child. Look, she's only slightly bigger than a keyhole!

But! Something bad happened to her. Tinkerbell was dying and the only way to save her was to believe in fairies (!!!) O_o

 

Come on! We need everybody! Even the moms and dads out there!

You have to believe! Clap your hands so she can hear you!

 

So yeah, we all clapped as hard as we could.

And she was alive again! Yay. Heh. Actually, I watched this scene in Disney's version too where Tinkerbell's life was coming to an end because people didn't believe her existence. LOL. No comments 😛

 

There was a scene where the malicious Captain Hook kidnapped Tiger Lily too!

Good lord, can you stop kidnapping young girls already? hahaaha 😛

 

He tied her to a rock

 

and Peter Pan our hero for the night, came to her rescue!!! 🙂

They engaged in a swashbuckling swordfight.


Tiger Lily was saved and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.

*Narrator takes a sip of water*

 

All's well, ends well! 🙂 🙂

 

Bye everybody! ;(

 

More and more Christmas songs filled the amphitheater as the entire cast came forward for their last song and dance.

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpCl4gjq1xA

 

And guess what!? It was snowing again! 🙂 🙂

 

 

This time, it was a blizzard! 😀

It snowed not just onstage but ALL OVER US TOO!

 

 

Then it got rather chilly and all of us had "snow" foam on our heads and bodies

 

Don't know why you can't see it on me but there… look at the picture below!

 

The man sitting in fronta me had mega-dandruff on his head! 😛

LOL I jest! It was the "snow" foam. Lots and lots of them on his shoulders too

 

 

I must say, that I had a fantastic time.

Not many people would know how to appreciate musicals but if you happen to be a fan of stageplay or were to be (or have been) in the theatrical scene, you would be able to judge this abridged version as a splendid one.

All I can say is, loosen up, sit back, relax and enjoy the magic of this show.

 

 

Peter Pan : The Musical Gala will be shown every single day (except Tuesday) from the 26th November 2010 until the 2nd January 2011.

5.30PM on weekdays + Sunday and an extra 8PM one on Fridays and Saturdays!

Adult tickets range from RM60-Rm140 while tickets for children range from RM40-RM100.

Trust me, it will leave you enchanted 🙂

 

Here's the whole cast posing for a group photograph! 🙂

 

I was kinda heartbroken when Adrian Soo -CEO of Sunway Lagoon- initially announced that only the children were allowed to take photos with them. Like… WHAAAIII???? I thought we were children too, somewhere deep down inside!

What happened to never growing up in Neverland?

 

I was so sad that I thought this was the closest I could ever get to them in a photo

 

But I was wrong!! After the stampede of children had subsided, Adrian then invited the media up onstage for a very own up-close-and-personal session with the whole cast, crew, producers and directors 🙂

Thank goodness I didn't leave yet!

 

Wendy is so beautiful in real life and was indeed a darling! 🙂

 

The guy with the amazing voice plays the adorable Peter Pan!

He was so gracious, very sweet and informative too when I asked him a few questions 🙂

 

Also, I got to take pictures with the Director and the Dance Choreographer themselves!

 

The men you see flanking me are the masterminds of this superb musical! 🙂

Great job

 

Had a lil chat session with them and I was told that this entire musical took a total of only 3 weeks at most to be rehearsed. Long days and long nights, but it was sure worth it! 🙂

They also shared with me that the main cast had been working with them for many stageplays already and that auditions were held right here in Sunway Lagoon itself for the rest of the cast, especially the dancers!

 

Took some time camwhoring with the stage props and setting too 😛

 

Yes I'm getting ready for Christmas already… presents anyone? 😀 😀

 

The overgrown child with the overgrown mushrooms 😛

 

More overgrown children!

 

Girls just love to have fun, no? 😀 😀

Just think of a wonderful thought, any merry little thought… and we'll be able to fly, right?

 

Well at least that's what Peter Pan told us!
