Les Misérables (enPR: l? m?z??r-äb?; in French, IPA: [le mize'?a?bl]), colloquially known as Les Mis or Les Miz, is a musical composed in 1980 by the French composer Claude-Michel Schönberg with a libretto by Alain Boublil. Sung through, it is perhaps the most famous of all French musicals and one of the most performed musicals worldwide. On October 8, 2006, the show celebrated its 21st anniversary and became the longest-running West End musical in history and is still running (though it has changed venues).

You can’t come to London and not watch a musical before returning! I waited for Sara to come and we decided to watch Les Misérables, the musical based on the book of the same title by Victor Hugo. With much excitement the two of us appeared at the Queen’s Theather, not far from Chinatown on a cold Tuesday night. Sara managed to buy for us Stall tickets for £36 on the day itself in Leichester Square and so the 4 of us , Sara, Myself, Ryan and Christine went to Queen’s Theater to watch. What a show man! No wonder its been running for 23 years. I strongly recomend anybody who comes to London to catch this amazing production!! It was technical brilliance. Most of the songs were not the type that would linger in your memories but the performance will! The propts, the voices in harmony. Wow

Watched it in Edinburgh with my bro and Allan, and I loved it. Firstly its a dark comedy that kinda pokes fun at the lives of people who live in Washington, and maybe the state of mind of America at large. It has many sub stories that all kinda tie in neatly at the end. Don’t want to give away the plot, so I’ll just say it had a good ending for me. Brad Pitt plays somebody I actually like, which has not happen for a while now. George Clooney didn’t do half bad. Watch it!

Check it out man! Even my friends Jon and Hwee Yen are featured How come I am not ah Liang?

Its on Sky1 on Thursday and its really a test for me. I am really impressed by what the kids here in England learn. Today i learned that Florance Nightingale lived till she was 90 years old. The kid knew it, and I didn’t. They asked which continent Timbucktoo was in, Africa, and I was right. The guy on the show said it was either Asia or India. Err….Last I checked, India was not a continent. Its part of Asia! I find his anwser extremly funny as people from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh are called Asians here. Doesn’t that idicate that India is in the Asian continent? Anyhoo, if I was a contestant I would not make it to even the first safe zone. There is another show however which I would definate do well in. Don’t forget the lyrics Whas your favourite game show?

Yet another British classic, this movie is a humours story of 4 young men living dodgy lives trying to make it big via a high stake poker game which leads to a series of extremly funny events. It is just so funny! Mostly filmed near Borough Market, where I eat my Lamb burgers this movie is a definate must see when doing a British Film marathon. My review 9.0 / 10.0
