Saturday Slacking

Cat, Winnie, Erwin and I went to try for the lottery to get Hairspray tickets today... and Erwin got lucky! He got two front row orchestra seats, so we bought two more standing tickets and took turns to sit and stand. Winnie and I sat in the first half, and stood after the intermission...

which was absolutely PERFECT.

I hate to swoon, but Ashley Parker Angel (the guy from Making the Band) was starring in the show and... oh my goodness, he was just there, right in front of me on stage. Ahh, good show, great dancing, great singing, and greater eye candy (very very very cute :p). And during the half when I was standing at the back, there was an act when some of the cast members came out from the back of the audience... and he was standing next to me for 20 seconds. (I wouldn't have realized if Winnie didn't tell me!) I felt like I could die on the spot, haha.

Well, it's a lucky day, Erwin winning the lottery, cheap tickets, eye candy. =)

Oh, but I've decided that I prefer standing tickets to the front row orchestra seats. We were literally seated right in front, about 1 inch from the edge of the stage (at the corner too)... so we couldn't really see the entire stage properly. And I didn't know how tiring it was until I finally moved during the intermission, and boy, my neck was aching.

The Apple Store near central park's supposed to be a tourist icon by itself.. since we had loads of time after getting our tickets, we decided to check it out. It's really cool... (actually, stores in New York generally have cool concepts)... it's entirely glass, so you get a great view of the surrounding tall buildings. And when you step in, you take this glass elevator down to the glass store... I'm no Apple Fan, but walking into the Apple store really makes you feel like buying an Ipod. All the displays, Apple TV... and every single model/colour is put on display for you to try.

Now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever enjoyed shopping in toy shops until I got here... all the toy shops here really have a way on bringing out the most childish side of me, including the FOA Scwarz toyshop next to Apple. All the life sized stuffed animals, dogs, dolls... if I were a kid, I think I'd want to live in New York and visit toy shops everyday. I think the coolest think was the 'piano' on the floor... I actually got in line to try it out, but changed my mind since there were kids in front of me and they were closing. We were lucky to catch the last performance of the day though... it's pretty impressive, take a look at the video in the previous post!Sigh. It's Sunday tomorrow and if I don't finally do my work, I'm so dead. There's a finance test coming up on Tuesday, and I've been completely lost ever since lessons resumed after Spring Break. If it's possible to fail something here, this is definitely it.
