老九 & the new Singapore Arts School

last weekend, caught a chinese theatre production 老九 with junhan. it was one of the very few theatre production that i have been too. this producition of 老九 is a re-adaptation of Kuo Pao Kun's (郭宝昆) original play to a musical. din catch the original play b4, but the musical is quite a touching story, the theme mainly focusing on the struggle between reality n dreams...after watching the musical, feel like watching the original play...

btw the new Singapore Arts School's design was also revealed last weekend and an exhibition on the deisgn process is currently on exhibtion at the new NLB til 27th Nov. the winning design is by WOHA...the architecture wil fill the "gap" at the junction of bras basah and selegie road next to cathay building n opp SMU. the deisgn is based on the concept of backdrop and blank canvas. the whole building looks abit monumental...lets see how it will be refined along the way ...
