The Last Chinese Helicopter

Just came back from a performance at the Esplanade called "The last Chinese helicopter" by Shi Jian Ju Chang (the chinese name of a theatre grp). Well, it was performed by Jack Neo, solo appearance.. VERY NICE!

The first part is a talk show by Jack Neo. Well, basically.. He just talked.. And as usual, he poked fun at government and current affair issues with his great sense of humour. There was talks on T.T. Durai and the NKF, fengshui of Singapore, freedom of speech etc etc.. Well, it's kinda exciting, when you are watching a show poking fun at the PAP government, with an MP sitting right behind me. Haha. You can't really hear him laffing alot. Haha.. Maybe cos me and my sis were laughing too loudly ourselves.. Well, at least the majority of the theatre were laughing very loudly.. So that was good..

The second part is a play "The coffin is too big for the hole", a master piece by the late theatre maestro Guo Bao Kun. Also poking fun at government and laws... Haha.. Jack Neo edited some parts of it to make it more relevant to the times now.

On the whole, the performance was great.. Jack Neo was right in the sense that after all our laughter tonight.. We should really go back and think.. Think positively sometimes, not negatively all the time. Though I can't really agree that heavy taxes and payments everywhere is fully justified, but at least part of those goes to building new infrastructure.. So yeah... And the burgeoning government reserves that will still be Singapore's.. Juz not Singaporeans' as individual.

I would definitely want to catch it again if there was ever a re-run.. Good thing that I think Jack Neo is considering more theatrical performances.. =D
