Holiday Plans...

Haha...my mum seems so excited about our planned 5 day holiday to Sydney in July after my exams...and if all works out and there are no hitches in the coming months, we'll be staying in Sydney for a while during the holidays. I'm extremely looking forward to it since I haven't been abroad in literally YEARS...let's count like nearly a decade regarding how many years I've been stuck here in HK. -__-

I really wonder what Australia will be like but everyone says (including MC) that it's a fantastic, beautiful place so I guess it'll be enjoyable. It's funny that I haven't even started exam leave yet and we're already planning what we'll hopefully be doing after my exams...lol...but whatever and moving on...

And by coincidence, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is touring in Sydney from May 11 to July 20...!!! So, I might be finally getting my first taste of the stage musical first hand after nearly 2 years of being in the 'phandom'...=D Plus I checked out the distance from the hotel we plan to stay at to the theatre and it's approximately only 6 minutes by car...yay! Anthony Warlow (original Australian Phantom) will hopefully be still touring and playing the Phantom...he's not MC but he's quite good, I think...and any stage Phantom is better than being stuck with images of a certain movie Phantom groping the heroine...*shivers* [well, any stage Phantom APART from Colm Wilkinson, who was a great Jean Valjean in Les Mis but was not my cup of tea when he played the Phantom]

Haha, to imagine the look on richrose0107's face if she found out about this...and the possibility of me seeing Phantom on stage first...! [laughs in crazy, manic manner of MC's Phantom on the Original Cast Recording during the All I Ask of You (Reprise)]

Musings...

Lol...still can't get over the fact that I might be going to Sydney and see Phantom in July! *grins broadly* And richrose0107was obviously delighted as I was (mostly because she just wants to see the pictures...hahaha) And it really is a race as to who can see Phantom first...she wants to go to Broadway and I seriously want to see it in London mostly since it was technically there in 1986 that POTO first opened...so much history...*sigh*

Grr...just a short note of realisation...was just browsing through the famous HEAP guide to Degree Course Offers in the UK [2008 edition] in the Careers centre today and realised that while Cambridge had an average of 4 people competing for one History place, Oxford had a 39% success rate (come on, NINE people for one place as in my chosen Oxford college to FOUR people at Cambridge...my God, I should have applied to Cambridge instead based on that record had I known of it earlier!). And both surprisingly and not so surprisingly, Durham had an average of FIFTEEN people competing for ONE History place...so I guess I should consider myself extremely lucky and fortunate in this light of things...lol. =D
