Theatre night! : Baik punya cilok

Hola! Its good to be back writing to you! apologies for being M.I.A the past month...I was caught up with design class and the stress that comes along with it.

HOWEVER, tonight! (currently 12.15 am here in Malaysia), I am not going to talk about that. I am going to talk about what I did last Friday night! (see..I have a life outside the studio pfffttt)

Iqbal, Amal, Naz & I went to Istana Budaya to watch a musical theatre directed by Afdlin Shauki titled "Baik Punya Cilok". Originally, this musical was a film and the same actors and directors recreated it into a musical theatre. (honestly...I've never watched the film before so it was my first time watching the story)

I wouldn't wanna spoil the show for anyone, so I'll just briefly describe what was the show about.

So, the story revolves around a group of 5 friends (Aben, Wak, Bob, Jerry and Leman) who plan on robbing a pawnshop owned by 'Uncle Wong' in order to recover Wak's grandma's diamond jade brooch. All in all it was a hilarious show and I couldn't stop laughing. I really enjoyed it.

After the show, Naz & I decided to wait in line and meet the actors in person. I was so determined that Naz and I eventually ended up in the front row and was engulfed by a sea of fanatic fans.

I had a really good time that night and I was so glad I finally got out of the studio! Some tips though, if you're planning on going to watch a show in Istana Budaya. 

1) dress appropriately. the theatre attendants won't hesitate to not allow you in if you walk in with flip flops. (unless you're going to KLPAC, flip flops, jeans, T-shirts, shorts and mini skirts are a big no no in Istana Budaya)

2) arrive 30 mins earlier because you need to enter 15 minutes before show starts. (they are very punctual)

3) have dinner before the show. its a 2 hour plus long show. 

4) drink water before the show and during intermission. Don't bring in water. you'll get caught!

5) Buy water earlier and leave it in your car or bag. don't even think about buying at the refreshment counter. 

5) toilet before the show. Duh.

6) can get pretty chilly so bring a cardigan, scarf or a shawl. *no hoodies*

7) no phones during show. or else they'll shoot you with a green laser like a sniper

8) ENJOY THE SHOW!

I guess thats all for tonight. Im getting sleepy and I have a run tomorrow morning *assuming i wake up....* and tons of work to do ;D

Xx,

Sarah
