Shake Your Groove Thing.. YEAH YEAH (>.<)

When I first started writing this post, I thought I should name it "Pritsanee vs. Priscilla".

Somehow that idea didn't go through because
1.) I am not a drag queen
2.) I am not queen of the desert, or the mountain, or the river
and 3.) I know I just can't compete with the divas in 'Priscilla: Queen of the Desert'.
The lady in blue looks MUCH scarier when viewed from
the top. There was a contest where you can win yourself
the blue frock and a trip to Ayes Rock, AU

I recently went to see 'Priscilla: Queen of the Desert: The Musical' at the Lyric Theatre, Star City, Sydney AU. It was AMAZING!! I really loved it. It was funny, colourful, and touches the raw emotions of the heart. I mean it's not just about drag queens performing their way to their destination. But it's about being accepted into the community as your true self. It touches on issues of belongingness, personal responsibilities, loss... and most importantly... LOVE.

The production of the musical was spot on, the costumes were amazing, every detail of the musical shows how much attention they really put together to make it perfect. And it really was perfect!!! If you ever have a chance to see it, you REALLY should. It's one of the best musicals I've ever seen (so I haven't seen many.. but still one of the best... so far.. hehehe).

The cast was awesome! Especially the 3 main divas. Tony Seldon, who plays Bernadette, was so good with erm.. his? her? expressions that I almost cried when s/he cried. Jeremy Stanford, who plays Mitzi, can really portray a confused father image. And Daniel Scott, who plays Felicia, was so pretty and daring that makes me wish I have at least a quarter of his/her confidence. All three of them can really sing and shake their booty better than some real girls.

Oh... and I may be off the line here.. but I think Daniel Scott (the s/he who plays 'Felicia') is really HOT!!! hahaahhaha... I have a crush on a drag queen *blush*

It's All About The Money

I was looking through files and folders on my computer and I found short articles that I used to write. This is one of them... so... read on...

"in this day and age, there is nothing more important than money. we wake up early to waste our days being bossed around so that at the end of the month, we can look forward to seeing our bank balance increases. people say it's love that makes the world goes round, but in truth the thing that makes the world goes round is more tangible than that, MONEY!

in the beginning, i've always thought money would be a factor only in real life. how wrong i must be. me and a friend started raising a virtual pet because we enjoyed the games that they've provided. there are hundreds of games to play and different planets to explore. we were thrilled because finally we found something to attract us to come to the office for (you know, using the internet for personal enjoyment? come on! i know you all do it!). so anyway, the games kept us entertained and lead us to believe that we are not just ordinary salary seekers. as for the virtual pet, the objective of the games they provided is so you can make money to use to buy food and other things to keep your pet alive. for a few days, we enjoyed the pureness of fun and games. but a week or two after that... IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!! it was not about who got a high score and who's pathetic at which games anymore. it's all about who spends more time online and who has more money! i could not believe myself when i realised that the real reason i'm still addicted to the virtual pet is because of money!!! what is the world coming to when something so cute and pure brings out the worse in humankind???

but that's not all, money is an issue in EVERYTHING. it's the determining factor to what we can or cannot have. it is the route of all greed!!! me and my friend (again) used the internet to book free air tickets for a holiday (as you can see, again, how much we are devoted to our work). it took us the whole day to actually win ourselves two plane tickets for a one night stay in singapore. hur~ the things we do...

with all the complains about money being an issue, there also lie another truth. without money, you can be sure that you will never be able to leave the borders of that tiny box you have built for a home. in the end, there is one thing to say about money... take it or die."

Ironically enough, one of my earlier blog posts ( ' i am free to live in a box ' ) was to complain about the same money issue. One day I'll be RICH!!!! *fingers crossing*

Give Me a Break!!!

Yes, that's right... the chocolate egg season is here!!! Which means EASTER BREAK, baby!! WOOHOO....

That would have been my reaction if I was still in high school, or even undergrad, but definitely not now that I'm a POSTGRAD student. I was so looking forward to easter break so I can chill out and do nothing. *sob*sob* I'm tired *sob*sob* and confused *sob*sob*. My courses will end in less than a month and now I'm rushing to finish everything so I can hand in all the reports and whatnots in time. And I feel this is not gonna end anytime soon. *sob*sob* When I finish one, there're loads more waiting for me. HUR+

I miss Thailand. I miss my friends back home. I wanna go back but I've only been here for 2 months.. although it felt like I've been here for much longer... The weather's getting cold, and i need a HUG :(

Why Won't My Villagers Breed???

Juppers told me yesterday that Virtual Villagers 2 is out... so... being a game addict that I (sometimes) am, I started playing it. The basics are pretty much the same as the first Virtual Villager, but this time there are more things to do, like collecting rare items and at a later stage, you can change your villagers' outfits *o*.
With all that said, my problem with the game is at the beginning stage when the villagers WON'T BREED!!!! I'm trying so hard to increase the population, making them go at it one after the other.. but to no avail. They came out empty handed, with excuses like 'too hungry to think about it'. Yea! Right! If I find out they're secretly using contraception, I'll make them starve to death. MUAHAHHAHAHAHA (ps. there are no contraceptive usage in this game).

What kind of tribe feeds on coconuts and mushrooms anyway? No wonder they can't breed.... there are algae in the sea so my villagers are 'disgusted' and so... no fishies to eat.
