Cirque Du Soleil - Dralion

Things seemed to have improved so far. I had the best time so far coming into 2009. My friend and I decided to go to the Cirque Du Soleil show in Perth [they've extended the show!] and I had discounts [apparently] if you buy them online. However, Netbank decided to fuck up last minute and we wanted to watch it desperately.

The show was at 8.00pm and it was 7.50pm.

10 minutes?

It's never too late!!

We sped all the way from South Perth to Langley Park, parked in the most expensive parking area [$10AUD for the miserly 2 hours] and ran inside to the ticketing counter and paid the full price of $89AUD each. [Thanks to friend-who-does-not-wish-to-be-named paid for me first]. Although the seats looked far from the stage, it was pretty close.

Live music performed along with circus acts = magical! From all the shows I've watched on TV, watching it live kicks ass. Not to mention, the A/C inside the tent was superb [FYI I love my ventilation].

If you don't know much about Dralion, the theme was the mix of the East meeting West. But personally, most of the costumes were mostly Asian based with infusions of Red, Gold, Yellow and Black. Some of the stunts were unseen before in the other shows which made me go "WOW".

In addition, if you're a fan of the Cirque Du Soleil music genre, this one is just as fab. What can I say, I love it!!!!

Souvenirs was a must. Although they are ridiculously over-priced for something like a key-ring [I collect key-rings and I bought 2 thinking it was a cheaper souvenir.... Boy, was I wrong. 2 keyrings costed me $36AUD. $18AUD each???]. If I was any richer and had money to spare [like last year] I would have gotten myself an authentic mask from them. They are wicked!

I came home feeling very satisfied. One of my many small dreams coming true :)

When I arrived, there was more good news! I've gotten tickets from Nuffnang AUS for the show "He's Just Not That Into You". They were giving out 25 x 2 passes to go see the show. Guess not many bloggers joined the competition. All the better for me!

Moreover, to add to my delight, I received my little BUDTRAPS. They are simply small devices which allows you to store your iPod cords tangle-free! I was suppose to pay $2USD for the postage but realised that my Paypal account only had $2AUD [$1AUD short] and decided to pay later. Who knew that they've already sent it without me paying? I basically got it FOC. They not only send 1 but 3 additional ones [4 all together! HOORAY!] supposedly for you to give them out to your friends [a marketing scheme I suppose]. But I'm just too miserly and only gave one out and decided to keep the rest for myself.

Best day in 2009! 3 March
