JUMP!I went out shopping today, not because I felt like spending money but mainly because it's the last day of the week and we want to do our last minute shopping before the NETs increase and the GST hike takes into effect and everything will become more expensive. I was walking around SLS and I found something that I was looking for! I bought a $35 1gb mp3 player that was really small and almost exactly what I was looking for! I got the $10 USB charger to go along with it so that I can charge it without a computer's USB port.
Later I caught JUMP! @ the Esplanade
Combining physical comedy and Tae Kwon Do, JUMP is a high-octane martial arts extravaganza hailing from Korea that features gravity-defying stunts such as slick acrobatics, sword fighting and wall-walking!
JUMP tells the story of an idiosyncratic Korean family under the rule of a strict grandfather who insists on keeping up the physical fitness of all family members through vigorous martial arts training. The performance comes to a climax when two stupid thieves break into the house and confront three generations of kung-fu masters, inspiring a series of ridiculous scenes. Set in an average Korean home, JUMP is centered around a typical, but dramatically agile, Korean family - from the authoritarian grandfather, drunken uncle and Tae Kwon Do-chopping mother to the awkward girlfriend's suitor.
Each member is a martial arts expert, possessing championship level Tae Kwon Do, Tae Kyun and gymnastic skills. They enjoy nothing more than challenging each other to martial arts showdowns, displaying their awe-inspiring expertise.
The plot thickens when two burglars break into the family home in the middle of the night - one a sleek, mean villain, the other a plump, bumbling idiot - complete with rather scary hair! When the family discovers the intruders, a mighty battle ensues. What follows is an incredible display of acrobatic and martial arts skills, with a healthy dose of slapstick humor
JUMP is extremely unique and funny yet utterly spectacular and absolutely hilarious. It was a GREAT show! I gave it 5 out of 5 stars, each of them performed incredible stunts and very impressive performance. They did the wall-runs, back-flips effortlessly, all the stunt videos that I've seen cannot compare to when you actually see it before your eyes! I enjoyed the performance completely.
After that, we had a chat and coffee at Millennia walk before heading home.
