M! The Opera...

Last sunday decided to be guai guai lui, go for breakfast with parents, grandparents and uncle. It's been a tradition every Sunday for my parents and grandparents to have breakfast at the same place, same time for the past few years... The whole week I went out the whole 7 days in a row, so today must teman them lah... Bought a few shirts at the morning market in OUG... Still itch to buy a big handbag but still can't find a nice and good one =(

At 2pm, fetched Anjanna and Ching Yee and went Istana Budaya to watch 'M! The Opera', a local production. Wah, not bad, i didn't get sesat on my way there...

It tells the story of M, a boy who is inspired by his elegant 'tukang jahit' mother into working with fabrics. His mother passed away giving birthday to his younger brother with a needle comes with him. So it is said that the needle and the boy should be separated because it is a curse. M's childhood friend, Sepi kept the needle for him. Following rigorous training in Japan, M becomes a legendary fashion designer with Sepi by his side.

The emergence of a young, outrageous designer - Kerabat, not only jeopardises M's positiion in the fashion world, but also threatens the love of his Muse - Sepi. Sepi console M when he's down, but M disappointed Sepi, and Sepi went to Kerabat and gave the needle to Kerabat. In the end, M proposed to Sepi and she agreed. On their wedding day, Kerabat hoped M would wear the clothes he sew for M, it was a curse and M died. In the end, everyone lose everything.

Honestly, to me, the story is quite complicated (because it's opera)... but i would give a rating of 7/10. It was okay, most of the parts understandable and I love their outfits!! So cool and nice!! Especially Sepi's wedding gown. From far, Sepi looks like Marion. Haha!
