I am typing this for my MONDAY BLOG ENTRY! Okie. AT LAST, I CAN UPDATE ABOUT IT.Great! Here are photos that Liyana have taken during the Puteri Gunung Ledang, the musical. Check it out.Photos credits to Liyana..
While waiting for the curtains to open! The show was about to start! In esplanade theater.
Taken a shot with Khairudin Sharom. An actor cum host in Suria.
Those were only few shots. We took many pictures but Liyana did not upload it. So, our show start at 230pm and we met at 1pm at Cityhall mrt station. Why so early? Hehehe. Coz, we dont want to be late for our shows. Err. Ya.. I know that sometimes, I am late for lectures and tutorials..Hehehe. Like I have said, I have been waiting for them to come to Singapore since the day they had their first musical performances in Kuala Lumpur. Most interesting part is that, I got to meet Tiara Jacquelina performing live. p.s: I am one of her fan.So back to that day, before entering the hall, we ate at 2Hot Halal Café near the bay. Trust me. The food there are hot too! Awesome. Delicious! However, due the service, I was slightly taken aback. They were suppose to have more people serving the foods to the customers as more people are coming there to eat. Whats more during the performance days.So, once we entered the musical hall, I got so excited and kept smiling to Suhailah since she sat beside me.The performances from them were breath taking! World class performance. Although they have only performed in Kuala Lumpur and now in Singapore, I really hope that they could go to some other countries.Perhaps translate the scripts to English.All the belw shots that I have displayed are credits to: http://www.pglthemusical2.com
Bayan and Gusti..On your right is Tiara Jacquelina who is the lead actress and also the excutive producer.I got a booklet on PGLM, and I was really inspired by the words of Datin Sri Tiara Jacquelina. Perhaps I will take those words of her in my mind. As an inspiration. One of those magical words.Interval of twenty minutes was spent in the toilet. I had to void and we had to queued! Hehehe. Then the story continue and this time round, the set was in Melaka. All the props that they have used were awesome. Colourful. Singing part was brilliant too. Stephen Rahman( Hang Tuah) really sang well in Malay although he never speaks Malay. Tiara( Gusti) sang well too. Althoug her speacility is in acting, but her singing was good too. A.C Mizal acted as Adipati who was Gusti Puteri Retno Dumilah's( Tiara Jacquelina) brother. Sultan was played by Adlin. I guess that he reallly was suitable for that role as he has that serious voice. 
Sultan Mahmud together with Adipati, enjoying the dance performances by the dancers which includes Gusti. When the show ended, audiences including my buddies and I presented the casts with standing ovation and yeah. They truly deserve it! So, after that,all of the audiences including my friends and I actually join the queue to have the autographs. I was really dieing to get Tiara's autograph and take a picture with her but too bad, the autograph session was only for 30 minutes. :( But, I am happy back coz the though of being able to catch the musical made me smile back.And thank God, Liyana got ot snap pictures of Tiara and her daughter, Hani, (Hani came to Singapore with her mum. ) Stephen, A.C Mizal, Adlin.
Gusti together with Bayan and her fellow dancers.
Gusti departured, heading to Gunung Ledang. Leaving Majapahit without her brother's, Adipati knowledge. She wants to seek her true love. Hang Tuah.Guess what, I bought the poster of Gusti which was Tiara and the sound track of the musical.I wanted to buy the shirt but it was expensive and I did not bring enough cash. My dear Suhailah got her dear Stephen's poster who acted as Hang Tuah. She bought the sound track too.But really la. he was good looking. :)) And Tiara look beautiful. Including all the casts. My dear Liyana bought the sound track too..
In Melaka.( See what i mean.. beautiful settings and breath taking props)
In the forest with the water fall. Gusti and Hang Tuah.
The casts: Bayan, Gusti, Hang Tuah, Adipati's uncle, Adipati and the boy is the Sultan's son.Overall, I love it. Like I have said, if they are ever coming to Singapore again, I am sure that I will go again. I will bring my mum and my sisters. Since I have bought the c, sound track and the poster of Gusti, my next target will be the story book which can be found in in MPH. Check ot out ya.. Its in English so non-Malays, you can buy it too to know this history. From Melaka and Majapahit.PGLM is definately still playing in my mind. And the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is coming to town! :) Perhaps a yes.
:) Till here..
