Sun and Moon

It's CT week ! Which means my day is filled with nothing but sleep, eat and mostly.. studying. During exam period usually I'll gain some weight because I sort of believe that my brain need glucose to function. Wonder if it is just an excuse.. (though it's scientifically proven). So yeah, because of that.. I've been munching honey star at least 2x daily. I think I eat honey star more than I eat rice. I'll get diabetes really soon... =__=

Well.. Actually CT week isn't so bad.. I only have 2 papers left. One on Thursday and one on Friday. They should be pretty manageable if I don't do any careless mistake like how I did in Monday's paper. Out of ten papers, usually only one time I will come out feeling totally good about myself. Yes, I do set a real high expectation of myself. It is good and bad at the same time. On one side, expectation motivates me to work harder. But on the other side, it gives me stress and pressure.. and worst.. disappointment, when I could not meet the standard despite the amount of efforts I've put in.

Enough rambling about CT and all the stressful thing..

Moving on.. I have been pretty obsessed with this song titled 'Sun and Moon'. It is actually a song from a broadway musical Miss Saigon. Originally sung by Simon Bowman and Lea Salonga. The play is basically about a doomed love story between American GI and a Vietnamese bar girl. It kinda reminds me of the Memoirs of a Geisha, but based on the synopsis in Wikipedia, it resembles Madame Butterfly more. If I'm not wrong Madame Butterfly was played in the cinema a couple of months ago. Interesting fact ; Miss Saigon is the 11th longest-running broadway. It was started in 1991 and closed in 2001. 

If you guys realised, Lea Salonga does not sound like a Caucasian or Eurasian name.. it is because she is actually a Filipino. She is a super duper talented woman who played in another broadway musical Les Miserables and the voice behind Disney Princess Mulan and Jasmine. She is pretty old now, but her voice still sounds like how it was 20 years ago. Curious ? click on the play button !


This was taken in 1989 when she was only 17 I guess


And this one is when she's 19 



She really grew up in broadway ><


I shall end my post here.. It's 2:22 am and I shall wake up early tomorrow to study and complete some stuffs. One random photo 



For those who are having CT like me, press on for a couple of more days okay :)

Good night lovelies <3
