We went to see Dim Sum Dollies just now. A few minutes into the performance, I thought they were pretty overrated as a trio of singing prancing performers but as the evening advanced, I began to enjoy the jokes that could only be appreciated by the local audience (think snarky political jokes and dialect idiosyncracies) Hossan Leong as usual, is an absolute scream. We had a good view from where we were seating (VIP box seats) but I had an uncomfortable moment when we walked in the couple beside us (the guy looked so girlish I thought they were lesbians at first!) were dressed most inappropriately.

So, the girl beside me was in a tee shirt and denim skirt and white flat shoes with so many scruff marks that the old shoes I throw out look more glamorous. Although I don’t know what is worse: her ratty looking shoes, or the fact that she later chose to remove her shoe and cross her legs with her bare sole facing me. Appalling lack of social graces.

Big of course got the full discourse of my outrage and he, being the kind soul he always is, made excuse for her on account of her youth. Which I naturally discounted, as seeing my daughters can behave better than that. Most distasteful, I must say.

Apart from the brief disgust I felt at etiquette faux pas, I must say I had a very good time at the performance, even though I had caught a cold today and was feeling decidedly unwell.
