I'm going public everyone - I am a dag !
I love opera, I think that so much emotion, so much of a performer's heart is poured out when they sing - it moves me to tears... every time.. No matter what the content is, could be a song of gladness, hurt, hope, pure joy or sadness; whatever the emotion, it seems amplified when its sung as an operatic piece.
I was listening to Rusalka's Song to the moon earlier today and it always makes me cry. Here's an excerpt of the translation
"O tell him, silver moon, that my arms enfold him, in the hope that for at least a moment he will dream of me"
Isn't that lovely ?? Sigh.. What's playing in the background as I type you may ask, as I seem to be the kind of person that always has music on, well the TV's on and Phillip Ruddock on extreme measures talking about Terrorism and the Muslim community in Australia.. sorry to burst your bubble..
What have I been doing the past few days? I went to the launch of our new restaurant 360 bar and dining on Sunday night, best cuisine I've tasted in Sydney, and the place is totally re-vamped check out the new website in a couple of weeks as it is under construction.
The food was so good, I asked if I could take the Chef home in a doggy bag but they wouldn't let me (seriously no, I would never do such a thing but I was tempted - after all I did tell my mum that I would only marry a chef)
We (Joel, Sath and I) lead such busy lives that we haven't gone grocery shopping in a while.. and whilst we've run out of bread, butter and other necessities, this really didn't bother me until we ran out of tea.. Disaster !!! I am a tea junkie, I need at least 2 mugs of tea per day to keep me functioning.. Since I can't drink the weak, tasteless beverages masquerading as tea from Muffin break or Starbucks etc.. (and they always give me funny looks when I ask for 2 tea bags.. yes I like my tea very strong..) I've been drinking coffees the past few days and today I felt really awfull... must have had withdrawal symptoms so I ran to the shops and got myself some tea !! Finally.. ah.. I feel like a normal human being.. (as normal as I ever was anyway)
