2 words for Puteri Gunung Ledang: i'm impressed. what i thought was really good about this show was the dialogue. i mean anyone who can write 3 hrs worth of script which is more of a poem then anything deserves to be commended. i mean, u know how ppl during that era spoke right? amazing. surprisingly the acting was pretty good too and everything seemed pretty okay. however, of cos all is not perfect (haha). the fight scenes was quite funny .. 1st they were flying around wong fei hung style, but the killer was the fight scene between Hang Tuah and Raja Majapahit - heck, they could manipulate the weather i tell you! It was funny that Raja Majapahit hit the ground then everything exploded and caught fire then guess what Hang Tuah did.. he made it rain to douse the fires.. hahaa! thats not all, halfway thru the fight, they were transported to another dimension, and sometime in the midst of all that, Hang Tuah made a full eclipse of the sun! wooooo.. wong fei who? =P okay, despite all my sarcasm/criticism i still stand by my initial feeling .. which is i'm impressed.. VERY impressed.

ooo, one more thing which got me all impressed was the actual premier itself. i mean, this one they meant business. they went all out: classy cocktail party at the entrance of dewan philharmonic, lotsa celebs and "orang kenamaan" (those that i could actually recognize, unlike the "gala" on mon.. hehe). but someone forgot to mention to me that this was going to be a black tie event, and me being the casual dude walked in with khaki slacks. sigh.. luckily i got a tie in the car so all was not lost. nevertheless, din feel comfy amongst tuxedo-ed ppl so decided to skip the cocktail thing (and my opportunity to rub shoulders with the who's who of kl.. sighh). come to think of it its not such a big deal wat right? celebs only wat! (sour grapes.. hehe).
