The Grace of Swan Lake

-
Last week, mom and I attended the Gala premiere of Swan Lake at the Genting International Showroom, thanks to the awesome people at Milestone Entertainment.

It was certainly a memorable night, catching up with great friends who also attended the media night. 

There, I made some new friends too.

A special pre-show cocktail was specially prepared for the invited guests. The food was amazing and looks super presentable.
There was also Royalty in the house, DYMM  Sultanah  Pahang  Sultanah  Hajjah  Kalsom.

The show Swan Lake adventure is a 150 minutes show including intermission. Here is a glance through on the ACTS. A beautiful tragic love story told through the music of Tchaikovsky and graceful ballet dancers.

 Here I would love to share some amazing and captivating scenes and shots at the mezmerizing Swan Lake show. As we were not allowed to take photographs and videos, here I am sharing shots taken by their official photographer.

 The scene opens up with a Disney-like castle on a hilltop far far away. And dancers in colourful attire greets the crowd.


Next, the beautiful backdrop with a full glowing moon setting is my favorite scene! The backdrop is not a stand still and it has movement of realistic looking clouds. Of course when the bad guy comes out the moon was then covered. The scene changes with the music and with a well told story and plot.


Graceful dancers men and women conquered the stage with full confidence and danced the night away, telling the tale of Swan Lake.

The White Swan (Odette) played by Natasha Watson, dancing so full of grace.
Kudos to the team of dancers who performed with such beauty and grace to entertain us.
The overall dancing, choreography and timing was spectacular in every way. A classical ballet at its best with a story well told. Such a beautiful timeless masterpiece!
Thank you once again for the wonderful show!
There was an up close and personal moment when the show ended. As we walked out, we manage to catch a glimpse of these darlings who tirelessly put on a good show. Well, it's not easy dancing and standing on your toes all night, you know.

A Good Catch at Sek 17, PJ

If you love steam fish, this place is for you! Located at the other end of the mamak (nearby Seventeen Mall), this place is a hit especially for those who love healthy and simple food.  Mom and dad first discovered this place and finally took me here for dinner one day and I fell in love with its simple dishes. Address: 1270-1271, Jalan 17/31, Seksyen 17, 46400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Their menu is not fancy with many choices but good enough for a decent healthy dinner. They open as early as 5pm. Be there early to beat the hungry crowd.  My recommendation would be their Steamed Leopard Coral Goruper and Steamed Dragon Goruper. Sometimes these fish can go out of stock if you go too late. My first visit was at 8.30pm. It was still crowded but not that much as compared to my second visit at 7.30pm on another day. I had to walk off cause there were just too many tables unfed. Lesson learnt! Go earlier to beat the crowd. The crowd at 6pm. This was the first f...

Baan Thai 2 Seafood Restaurant at Kuchai Lama

Not Halal I recently discovered a new place to dine authentic Thai Food at Jalan Kuchai Lama when my mom's friend took her to celebrate her birthday this year. This is their second outlet and it's only 3 months old. Their first outlet, Baan Thai is located in Cheras. It was indeed an eye opener. Upon stepping in the restaurant, I was dumbfounded! The size of the restaurant was huge and there was massive space. It somehow felt like dining in one of those restaurants in China where there was so much space!  pic from Baan Thai 2 facebook page The best part was, not only the food is deliciously good, but the ambience is just breathtaking. They have ample manpower with plenty of staff attending to customer's needs. Diners were treated to a beautifully landscaped pond as they dine at Baan Thai 2 Seafood Restaurant. Look! There is even a ship on display at the end of the mini pond.  The ship is as tall as me! What a view! Smacked in the middle of...
