Crystal Mirror after-thoughts

What are world-class acrobatic acts? I haven't seen Cirque d'Soleil so I can't compare.

The skaters got my heart thumping cuz I was afraid the spinning skaters would loose grip and fly in our direction, we were only 2 metres away from e standing platform they were on; the juggling like those of buskers barely engage me, and the magic tricks were nothing close to The Prestige; the bubble-man though good and amused me, were already seen on US TV before. For the Hula-hoop lady, I prefer ladies trained in China calibre.

Having said that, there were two impt shows which I missed: the swinging gymnast act (was doing some interview) and the Casear Twins in Goldfish Tank act, so it would be unfair for me to say it was totally uncaptivating. I left before dessert came, to catch my train home at 11pm :P

Somehow I feel it was an act thrown tog by a group of seasoned performers.... and "seasoned" could have other meanings if U know what I mean. And have I mention the food? I think Mezza 9 of Grand Hyatt has better quality and attention. I felt I was eating in a concentration camp cuz food was served all at the same time and expected to finish within the break time when there were no performances. Food came at an intermittent of every 45 mins or so. We were so hungry we couldn't wait and gobbled our food in un-glam style :P we had our 3rd/out of 4th course by 10.15 pm.

Frankly speaking, for the 3-digit pricing, I don't feel excited. And normally, guests wouldn't have any spirits or wine to go with the food...... hmmm, if it is Original Price minus $100, i will still consider giving it a shot.

this must be one of my most subjective entry thus far. However my news-report is still objective and descriptive.

If there is anything I like about the show is, it is down-to-earth. No laser lights, no cheating, all 真材实料. But hor... now we are entertained by fancy gimmicks and stuff, these acts didn't really capture my attention and the show was too long. To sit 4 hrs in a squashed tentage with limited walking and leg-stretching space, and have to put up with gentlemen walking past behind my back, brushing their backside against my back isn't a high-class feeling. The floor were laid with wooden planks, I know it is turn back time to the 1920s Europe, Yah... but it is such an expensive affair.

Still, I thank Hyatt for having us at this gala-event :) And if you haven't seen Crystal Mirror, it is still worth a visit if you were being invited or would like to unwind with the family for some live entertainment instead of canned DVDs. This kind of show is indeed rarely being offered in Spore.

I like the candles too! kinda antique, and they have really heavy squarish glass plates for the 1st course which I sympathised with the service crew who had to juggle with them.

After hearing my comments. ain't you curious about the show now? Watch it, watch it!! :)
