We. My Precious.
Now, heaven knows I’m no angel
Just flesh and bone like all the rest
I never claimed to have a halo
All I can give you is my best
But I will never try to hurt you
Or even give you cause to doubt
That my heart is yours forever
Ain’t that what true love’s all about
The Lord Of the Rings.
There are no words that could describe how awesome that musicale was! The lights, effects, songs and everything in it were just too good, even Gollum sings! An absolute Brill! Anw, Here's the link for LOTR's Sights and Sounds.
On our way
to Drury Lane (Theatre Royal)
We got lost at first, and unfortunately the Londoners we met didn't know their sense of directions so we were coursed to different locations. We got there in the end but I was more annoyed by this Off Licensed (meaning sari sari ) shop owner. Thinking that he has a shop and obviously he's a local, that he'd help us. But when we asked him, he looked more irritated (Im sorry if it was his natural biological looks) and said "That way and just ask others!" I thought that was absurd. Maybe we should have purchased something before we asked... That could have changed it. Anyway, just in case... to that old man who looked Indian but spoke like Chinese, here's my season's greetings: F*CK YOU.
The show started at 730pm, so we decided to walk to Leicester Square/China Town for our Tea.
We had Roasted Duck + Octopus platter and King Prawn crispy noodles + Veg, Crab meat dumplings. I just focused with the dumplings and vegetables and stuffed myself with Green Tea. 
On our way back, We passed by this small Eastern European Vegetarian Caffe (Muffiski's). I saw (and smellt) that they had just baked some muffins ( yum yum) so we decided to kill some more time in there.
I fancied Caramel Macnutty and Blueberry with white chocolate muffins
I actually didn't want to go out of that caffe as the temperature outside was freezing. But shame as there was a Market Fair just outside the theatre, might as well check what's in there.
And again, my seductive eyes (ahem!) and nose caught these...
We settled ourselves with scallops. I don't think the Polish lady understood me when I said no bacon, so bless her, she still put some on my plate. Just beside the scallops were oysters. The flipping "talaba"' is worth £1.00 each (meaning Php85.00 EACH talaba, not kilo nor plate/can/serve whatsoever... I repeat Php85.00 for ONE flippin' piece). I was tempted to have some as well, prob was, they dont cook it. They'll just open the effin' shell and that's it!
I was worried it'd upset my tummy and make me open my popo at the middle of the musicale, so I opted not to.
It's 630pm, and they've started to open the gates. @715pm, the Hobbits will go to the audience to interact. I was worried they'd make me sing, but nah, they're too busy catching Fireflies.
Shame that we're not allowed to take photos inside the theatre. My fave bit was when the freakin' Orcs went to the audience and tried scaring us.
After the performance, as it was near 11pm already, the Underground Trains were horrendous. They were packed. I now know how it feels to be in a sardines can.
AU REVOIR.
