my date with PGL Season 2

It was a wonderful night. Besides the show, and its cast of actors, I met a number of people whom I didn't expect to meet, but very much glad that I did.
Among them, my Kemahiran Hidup high school teacher, Mrs Chew, my sister in law (whose colleague was Mrs Chew's daughter), my two college friends Ruby and Ina (plus, Ruby's cousin), Farhan (from the last AF), and Adlin Aman Ramli.
My sister, Tini, Alisa and I arrived early, so we headed for the cafe. We spotted Adlin (who was sitting on the next table), and so I went up to him and said, "Hello, Adlin. I'm Adlin." He was surprised (and sitting with the gorgeous Aqasha - could you believe it? I didn't recognise him! Idiot!), and then I said, "I've always wanted to do that," as we shook hands. Took a picture with him, too. I only said, "Sorry, kacau." to Aqasha, who was handsome (nak mampus) and all smiles. Ler, I wanted to take a pic with him, but then not realising who he was, and just in case he was someone 'biasa', I didn't want to be the 'perempuan gatal'.. hahahahah.. so I refrained myself. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Well, nevermind. Takde rezeki kot. << **note to self : Have to start studying the URTV religiously from now on >>
Anyway, show was wonderful, and Stephen sang even better than he did in the First Season of PGL, and I thought so did Tiara. My sister and I queued to get signatures for our purchases (i bought the soundtrack CD, and sis bought the kiddy book)..Adi Pati's performance last night was astoundingly effective. He managed to convey to the audience the fierceness of the Majapahit King, his forcefulness and of his (and his Kingdom's) might. At one point, a few of us actually even felt fear in our hearts. The effects helped, of course, what with the lights and sounds, fantastic. The supporting actor, Yalal Chin (as the Patih) helped as well, when he showed his fear for Bayan's (the Princess's Lady in waiting) life when the Adi Pati asked where has his sister gone to.
The Sultan did a good job at being his Majestic self, commanding respect and loyalty in a way that he expects it. And God forbid whomever crosses his path or goes against his wishes. And curse be it (as he did to the Gusti Puteri) whomever that challenges his might and his authority.
The ensembles were amusing, in that their portrayal of their respective characters in a very carricature-like manner and extra-'expressiveness' added to their charm.
As a wrap up, the ill-fated couple may live their lives apart, but in their love for each other, they last for all eternity. Together. Binded by that overwhelming force that is Love.
Tragic, huh?.. Yah well.
I managed to take a picture with Stephen, and said to him as I SHOOK his HAND!!!!! "Stephen, you're a beautiful man. Congratulations for a great performance."
Best malam tu. I will not forget last night for as long as I live.
Insya-Allah.
