The Phantom of the Opera

Watched this wonderful musical movie this noon with karen...was great lah I tell u...there were parts that I think were better in the musical though it seems like eons ago that I caught it with my uncle...I seemed more exicted then...think cos it was my first major musical n cos it was live. Anyway, this one was gd too cos unlike the muscial I could catch all the faces, emotions, unlike the play where the cast looked so small...heh...loved the music...was thinking abt so many things during the movie...
the first thing that came to mind after listening to the soundtrack intro was my days in my sec sch band - Exodus. I rem playing drums for the Soundtrack for Phantom but it wasnt becos I was gd at the drums but cos I wasnt good with mallets which was kinda more 'important' in the soundtrack but hearing the score brought back memories of all those practices where Lin Ah Leck our instructor would cut us and make us repeat the sequence cos we coudnt get the feel of the part...being a percussionist meant that it was frustrating waiting for my turn to join in...we did a lot of things at the back to kill time though ;) think tt's how we percussionist bonded...
the other thing I thought abt was that somehow I could identify with the phantom in a few aspects and I found myself rooting for him...heh...so it wasnt a surprise tt tears welled in my eyes during the scene after he kissed Christine but decided to let her n tt stupid guy away cos he knew it wasnt meant to be...heh...after all tt he did for her...
I'm jealous n possessive...
I like the movie...
I love the soundtrack...
I want to watch the musical again...with front seats...
n it was nice hanging out awhile after tt...
went for a run when I reached home...man it was difficult...not sure if I'm gonna win this bet man...
k sch starts tomolo...
here we go again.
