The Secret Jay Chou's Jukebox Musical Opening Night

A remarkable musical that follows the passionate story of Jay Chou’s iconic movie – THE SECRET is finally here in Singapore.

Being a fan of Jay Chou's this musical got me feeling thrilled and getting the best of both worlds -  watching the movie scenes and listening to the familiar songs of Jay Chou.

The Secret Jay Chou's Jukebox Musical is now showing in Singapore at the MasterCard Theatres, Marina Bay Sands, from now to 15 April 2018. 

Ticket price starts from $48 to $148.

Showtime 
Wed - Fri: 8pm 
Sat: 2pm & 8pm 
Sun: 1pm & 6pm 

The Secret Musical is created by award-winning Broadway team featuring more than 20 famous songs of Jay Chou, creating a Jukebox Musical.

Watching Jay Chou's Jukebox Musical is like re-watching the movie. The Secret is an adaptation of Jay Chou's multi award-winning directorial debut, Secret. 

As we watched the musical, we traveled back through time with a student in piano major, Ye Xianglun, and the beautiful and mysterious student, Lu Xiaoyu. 

Fear not if you don't understand Chinese because there are digital screens at both sides of the stage with English surtitles during the show.

Xianglun and Xiaoyu first met each other in the piano room and a beautiful romantic love story unfolds as the secret that connects them is revealed. 

This is a passion, friendship, love, family and youth filled musical not to be missed. Listening to all these songs made me want to sing along. Nothing beats listening to all the Jay Chou's songs that got me want to hit the replay button if there is. 

The musical features these songs:
<<星晴>>
<<听妈妈的话>>
<<简单爱>>
<<爷爷泡的茶>>
<<屋顶>>
<<稻香>>
<<夜曲>>
<<晴天>>
<<蒲公英的约定>>
<<搁浅>>
<<牛仔很忙>> 

The rooftop scene was my favourite scene. The place where they sang 屋顶 and share their first kiss.

(男)半夜睡不着觉 把心情哼成歌 只好到屋顶找另一个梦境 
(女)睡梦中被敲醒 我还是不确定 怎会有动人弦律在对面的屋顶 我悄悄关上门 带着希望上去 原来是我梦里常出现的那个人 
(男)那个人不就是我梦里那模糊的人 我们有同样的默契 
用天线 排成爱你的形状 Ho~

The musical ended with a sweet ending.

The musical was light-hearted with some hilarious scenes included. There was never a boring moments and the sequential of the songs were all nicely arranged and meaningful. The songs were all deeply etched in my memory. The piano melody too was beautiful and touched my heart.

It was a great performance put up by the casts.
Great music, great casts and quality time spent create an unforgettable night for me.

Johor Bahru City Square: Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant

It has been 2 months hiccups since I last traveled to Johor Bahru (JB), I shall resume back the routine since I was free today.

It was raining heavily when I left house. Despite that, we still carry on with our plan. I always love traveling in to JB if we have nothing to do on a Saturdate.

When we entered JB City Square, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles immediately caught our attention. The turtle legacy is back this school holiday for the fans of TMNT.


We went McDonald to try out their Blueberry McFlurry at RM4.95, a flavour that is not available in Singapore. It tasted delicious with blueberry and oreo mix in the vanilla ice cream.


We went to basement 1 and settled with Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant for our dinner. Though we have it in Singapore too but the price paid was totally different. We paid double the price which is not worth it. That's why we decided to satisfy our cravings here.

Bf ordered a set meal that comes with soup of the day and a drink.

We topped up another RM3.50 to change the drink to this Mango Sago drink. We enjoyed their drinks very much. It is their drinks that attracted us to patronize. 

I have Jumbo Sausage and Fish Fillet Rice with Egg.
Not really to my liking as the sausage tasted weird. 

We ordered a Cheese Baked Assorted Mushrooms.
The mushrooms were drenched in the creamy baked cheese and served sizzling hot. Eat it while hot before the creamy texture get to gelat.

Waiting for one more main course.
The dinner price was reasonable with the amount of food we ate, the bill was RM66.60. 

We went to check out TMNT exhibitions and merchandises selling at The Atrium. Any TMNT's fans over here?

Spending the weekend in JB always made me happy because I get to eat my heart out and I love coming here for food and shopping. I will be back soon again.
