Still Being Random

No, I'm not pregnant again. Haha! Just thought I'd clarify that.

Anyway, a few days ago, my father suddenly messaged me from China asking what I would want if I could have anything. If there is one question I don't like, that would be it. I have always hated being disappointed. So when I get a question like this, it just opens up that disappointment jar because the question has such a wide range of possibilities. When Ia sked him to clarify, he said to just name it.

So I began thinking of all that I do have. I already have a car, a laptop, a handphone, a house. I couldn't think of anything else I would want. And I knew I had to be reasonable about it.

Then I thought about Athena and I realised that I've been taking photos of her and they've turned out to be grainy. So I asked him if I could have a camera. When he replied 'OK' I panicked. I'm not used to getting what I want. I may be spoilt in terms of affections and love and attention but I always think nobody will get me what I want. So I wasn't really expectingmuch from all this.

Then yesterday, I began to wonder if my father might have bought me a Sony camera and I was hoping they get me one with a pretty colour. My parents love buying Sony products because the Sony shop they always go to gives them amazing customer service.

However, when I unwrapped the present they passed to me, my sister, who was curious as well, started to squeak and then she squealed. I almost dropped the box but she grabbed it and hugged the thing. I had to wrestle it away from her just so I could take a look at what I got. And my jaw hit the floor when I saw it.

Last night, my muse showed up and bit me in my big, fat behind.

So I withstood her pain until I had time at 2.00 p.m. today. Then within half an hour, I added 1,500 words to my story.

And my fear now is that my muse still refuses to be silenced.

So I guess I will hit the keyboard again when I can. Tonight.

I've been wanting to write about this for ages but I just never had the time to put my thoughts together.

After Christmas last year, my entire family (which of course includes Shook and Athena now) went to KL. For everyone else, it was a holiday. My sisters and I went to watch Mamma Mia!

If there is ever one musical anyone has to watch at least once in their lifetime, I believe that Mamma Mia should be it. Unless of course, you hate musicals and detest the existence of ABBA. But if you happen to like both or either one, Mamma Mia is the musical to watch.

It is phenomenal. After watching it, I was more than willing to walk back in and watch it again. And I would ahve if the tickets weren't already sold out or only the RM400 ones were left.

The absolutely best part of the musical was not just the half-naked hot bods running around stage at one point but also the finale. The cast sang three extra songs during which time everyone was allowed to jump up and dance. I was already itching to dance throughout the musical itself so when the chance presented itself, I jumped.

There were some sourpusses around us though. One guy I saw even had his earphones plugged in the entire time. Why be there if you didn't want to watch the show?! My mom said maybe he won the tickets. My reply was why sign up for the contest if you didn't want to watch the show? Or heck, give it to someone else who would appreciate it far better! And then there was this family in the row in front of us who clearly didn't enjoy themselves at all. How could you not enjoy ABBA songs? How?!

The musical left me wanting more so I came home and watch the movie version a few times. And I'm still not bored of it. In my car now? Mamma Mia songs still blasting through the speakers. Why blasting? So that I can sing right along with the cast.

So will I go watch it again? Any day, anytime.
