Went to watch the British version of American playwright Neil Simon’s play called ‘Rumours’ last night. The play’s about a group of high society people going to a 10th wedding anniversary party only to find that the host has shot himself with the bullet going through his earlobe in an attempted suicide. A comedy of errors ensues as they try to cover the fiasco for fear of ruining the host’s and their reputations.
Helmed by a British cast, the play reminded me of a PG Wodehouse novel as it unfolded. It made for a good night of laughs and was a good pick-me-up!
After the play, my friends and I went for supper at a coffee shop along Liang Seah Street. I had fried tang hoon (glass noodles), my friends had beef hor fun, fried hor fun, and fried bee hoon. We were relishing the food which was good AND cheap! Even the staff were so friendly. They left before we did (fancy that!) ‘cos it was around 11.20pm already. As they were leaving, they bid us and another table of customers farewell with great enthusiasm! We were pleasantly surprised ‘cos the way these aunties said bye, you would think they have known us forever. Haha.
Anyway, I definitely recommend that coffee shop for a quick and good eat!
