THE END OF AN RPG ERA...

It is with great sadness that I have had to recently bid Victoria farewell. Victoria was one of the first true friends that I made here in Singapore since moving almost four years ago and I will miss her dearly. Victoria has made the decision to got "back to school" and move to Doha to study. A decision that I know did not come easily.

I'm very proud of what Victoria is doing. Since meeting her back on 2010, she has been on a great journey of discovery. Not only discovering Signapore, but discovering herself. Most recently her ambition to leave and and her determination to do something outside of her comfort zone is inspiring. I have every faith that she will do extremely well! 

It is the end of the RPG era. Jill and I were really sad to say goodbye, as it means we will no longer be the original "River Palace Girls". The three of us had a wonderful two years together at River Place, followed by another great two years of friendship and we have created many special memories as a three piece that I will treasure forever. 

Joe and I wish Victoria all the best for the next year. It won't be easy I'm sure, but I know that wherever Victoria goes in the world she will warm peoples hearts, just in the same way she did to many, many people here in Singapore.

ROCK OF AGES....

I'm slowly convincing Joe that the theatre isn't all that bad! After dragging him along to see Grease he said "I won't go again unless Rock Of Ages comes" … about a week after, I received an email to say that Rock Of Ages was coming to town. Result! 


So, I booked us tickets! Showing at Resorts World Theatre, this was the first time that I had seen a performance there. The theatre itself is a lot smaller than the ones at Marina Bay Sands, but very lovely indeed! 


With a plot almost indentical to that of the film version, which I loved, we were not disappointed. The musical includes all the classics which I love listening to, We Built This City, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, my favorite Don't Stop Believin' and many more renditions of some of the best hits from the 1980s. I was definitely on my feet dancing! A must see if you're a fan of classic rock!
