一直很欣赏道家出世的哲学，也挺喜欢这部舞台剧以密室逃脱游戏的方式生动地探讨了庄周的思想，觉得它带出了道家那悲观的浪漫色彩。
物化论、无为而无不为、无知、无用之用、至乐。道生万物：顺从自然，天人合一。
最后一关有人说了：死，是解脱。也有人说了，是逃避。
看你怎么看。
导演说，他写到：“其实门没有锁，只是我们一直都开错了” (sth on this line) 的台词时哭了。
那个主办单位，应该就是“道”。

25/2/19 Mon: After some research, we decided to go to Fukusen
Japanese restaurant for a belated Valentine’s lunch. We walked a bit from
Lavender MRT before we reached the place, and shared five types of sashi and
each ordered a main set too. For me, their unagi set was not “wow” but
certainly their sashimi!
It was such a hot day that we headed back home earlier, and
watched the movie “Exam” together, which he thought reminded him of “The Way of
Zhuang Zi”.

2/3/19 Sat: Potato and I went to HDB to sign our lease and pay the
5% CPF downpayment for our house. Had chicken rice for lunch nearby, and he
treated me to this Matcha rock salt Macchiato with sesame pearls. ($5). On hind
sight, I should have chosen honey pearls instead, as the drink wasn’t very
sweet.
After tuition with Jayden, I headed down to Galvin and Joan’s
place where the clique was already playing Secret Hitler, a board game Joshua
brought. Two rounds in the game, and I was given the role of “Hitler” at the
very first play lol. Glad my team (Joshua and Tiffany) still won haha.
3/3/19 Sun: FIL was out for dinner with his friends today, so had
a rare chance to taste MIL’s food! She prepared Korean bibimbap for us tonight,
and it was very delicious~
4/3/19 Mon: Potato and I went to IMM as I had old clothes to
donate to Salvation Army, and we saw “Beat Saber cup” VR game going on. *Potato’s psychomotor skills are good, I
think he will do well if he participated!* I have Manhattan Fish Market’s
coupon which expires today, so we went to eat lunch at JCube… value-for-money.
I liked their fried mushrooms!
5/3/19 Tues: Second time doing aerial yoga with lowered hammocks, and yes some stretches felt even deeper with this height.

6/3/19 Weds: After kickboxing, I met Jess for dinner at the Hong
Kong street restaurant. Their猪软骨面我再也不敢恭维了, it dried up too easily so
it’s not nice, but the shrooms roll was ok la. Had a good chat as usual, and
yay, I might have found one more “kaki” for our trip to Kyrgyzstan in August!
Finished watching “알함브라 궁전의 추억” (Memories of The Alhambra), starring현빈and박신혜, which I first heard from Jess. Potato and I both ended up watching it.

There were lots of suspense
and tension in the first half of this drama, from the moment유진우stayed over at Bonita Hostel in Granada, in which정희주was the boss, and also the older sister of정세주, till he started playing the
game and accidentally killed his foe차형석, and how차형석would reappear now and then to haunt him, only to
be killed by him once and again as유진우levelled up in this AR game, and was on his way to
find “Master”, which he believed would solve the mystery of the disappearance
of정세주in the game, and that he would return to his family’s side
thereafter.
Yes it was all exciting
during the first half of the drama, but right after유진우’s confession for정희주, I thought things started to get repetitive for me, especially a
big amount of repeated scenes kept coming up in the last few episodes. *Felt like they were there to drag the show
to make up 16 episodes.* Interesting show that dealt with AR, but the
ending? Maybe not atrocious but it leaves you either scratching your head or
screaming out “What the!?”. Tsk.

8/3/19 Fri: Had lunch with Potato at Jurong Point’s Malaysia Boleh as the queue at Sushi Express was long. I tried the mee hoon kuey ($3.50) for the first time... 够味, while he had duck rice. We shared the box of sushi ($5) Potato bought over, as well as Mr Bean's taro pearly milk drink~ satisfied!

I can’t comment on how impartial each different rounds are (36
contestants, but each one has different number of chances to perform), as it
being the first season, there are bound to have improvements. But from the
show, I’ve heard quite a number of nice voices and songs that the contestants
sang! 阿云嘎、蔡程昱、王凯、郑云龙、高天鹤and仝卓emerged as the final 6首席, but there are still other good singers out there.
高天鹤，假声男高音（countertenor). It's undeniable that he caught my attention while singing《炫镜》during the audition round but yes I agree with尚雯婕那是“炫技” haha as I found him a bit cocky, overflowing with confidence somewhat from the way he presented himself. Yet, he indeed is one of the few with this singing range on the show, and slowly as the show progressed, I thought he wasn't as arrogant as it seemed, but quite funny sometimes lol.
仝卓，男中音。He was the first contestant to appear at the start of the show, and I was like "Whoa? guys who sing opera or musical nowadays so cute-looking one ah?" Lol. He only left an impression towards the end of the show for me, like singing (星元's voice stood out more in this song for me)、《友谊天长地久》and of course his finale presentation： 《九儿》, when I really applauded him for his rendition.
郑云龙（右），男高音。He has lot of expressions on his face when he sings, due to the fact that he's a very experienced musical actor, but they really helped expressed the emotions in the songs he sings. Many of his performances were nice, like《慢慢喜欢你》、《对不起，我爱你》、《美女与野兽》、《偿还》、 (I feel like going for this musical that is showing soon in Singapore now!)、《我属于我自己》、、《生死对决》（This one thumbs-up for the "split personality" on stage in seconds!)、《我会保护你》and《天边外》.
阿云嘎（左），男高音。Someone on the show joked that he has the“费翔脸”, that he will look the same now that he is 29 years old and when he is 50 lol! But I think this Mongolian looks good, and he suits variety show somewhat. Of course, his vocal skills are as good as his roommate郑云龙, but the tone is somewhat different, I found his a little more manly and hoarse. 《那个男人》、《鹿Be Free》、《Les Rois du monde》、《偿还》、 、《我属于我自己》、《希腊草原》（Very manly in his Mongolian song~) and 《我会保护你》.
蔡程昱，男高音。He's only 18 years old last year la! The minute he opened his mouth to sing《Ah mes amis》during audition, I was attracted to it! Some judge on the show described his voice as金属音or something... very bright and clear, and would suit rock genre in my opinion? Haha. He definitely has a bright future in opera singing with that voice: 《Grande Amore》、《鹿Be Free》、《对不起，我爱你》and《友谊天长地久》.
翟李朔天，男中音。I do think he's not bad-looking, and he always brings on the happy mood whenever he performs (though he is so easily touched that camera catches his cry a lot as an audience lol).《Nel blu dipinto di blu》(love this a lot!)and《欢乐song》.
周深，假声男高音。He has such an angelic, crystal clear voice, like a woman's if you just close your eyes and listen to him.、《大鱼》、《山楂树》、《跨越彩虹》、《月弯弯》and , which was my favourite performance of his.
陆宇鹏（左），男中音。Young version of阮经天to me, and he's a volleyball player neh. He has a clean and innocent voice, and the fact that he cannot hear in his right ear makes his musical journey even harder, and his courage is worth applauding.《跟着你到天边》and《绒花》.
王晰，男低音。One of the two bassist in the show. His voice is to die for lol~ such warmth when he sang《一生守候》for his wife in the audition round! He is also a clever musician and nice older brother to the other contestants there. 《她真漂亮》、《慢慢喜欢你》、 (heavenly!)、《山楂树》、《鸽子》、《跨越彩虹》、《天边》、《月弯弯》and《友谊地久天长》.
Many other outstanding singers above and in the show that's worth your time, if you dislike other shitty music shows with singers going out of tune now and then lol.
