Of Proms, Loft and mamak stalls.....

That pretty much sums up the nearly phenomenal and near comsmic 'weekend' I had.......

To start things off was the 'prom'/grad party at Sanctuary for the ori DPA-ers.....ie Helena and my batch..haha....sorry I included my batch with Hel's....but I mean...they are the pioneers and we're the 'puinea gigs'......plus we're tight....

So..Sat evening was off to a slow start....J came over to my place to shower and we went together.....everyone was late...surprise surprise.....but when performances got onto way....surprisingly especially Khaz's act, good job mate!....things started to pick up.....and of course...the increase consumption of copious amounts of a pale alcoholic beverage also helped to add the increase of festivities....

Some of my boys decided to try the ice bar...which tho nothing more than a meatlocker with lights and alcohol.......becomes not surprisingly much more appealing....an insane idea since we're all in shirts and threadbare jackets and in mine, Tracy and Ain's case dresses but entertaining nonetheless.....


After our fill of chattering our teeth away, J and I whisked ourselves off to Loft to meet up with J's cousin who was returning to the UK the next day....I puked all that good Thai food on the way there.....see J! I told you I couldn't drink that much beer!!!....and let's just add..projectile vomit beware...haha.......ah...self-deprecation........not a pretty sight....but Zouk was fun...interestingly enough coz lil' ol me was so quiet.....his friend's thought I was pissed off or something.....I swear I wasn't........as surprising as it is...I'm actually quite shy.....so like plonk me down in a noisy environment with people I've only met once or twice and J being the social butterfly that he is......anti-social lil me ensues..............I am so sorry!! You guys are all a really nice bunch!! I swear!!


Right...so that was Saturday.......we can skip Sunday...coz it was basically a day in with me just popping out to KLPac to catch Franco Zeffirelli's Taming of the Shrew starring Liz Taylor.....so onto Monday mamak!

On Monday I bumped into Qahar...and I was also 'transferred' into the Technical dept at KLPac......and thank the goddess they keep me busy.......but anyways....bumped into Qahar who was rehearsing for Enemy of the People....and said, we really need to meet up and talk about our show......the one we were planning to do together......so since his rehearsals ended late and I'll prolly be stuck bumping-in at Pentas 2 till midnight...we decided to meet for mamak afterwards and discuss show possibilities....and discuss we did...till about 230am....at which point I needed to catch up on sleep and he needed to get home so his dad could sleep....lol...

So what we came up with was this......production slated for late Oct/early Nov...after Raya......we'll try our damnedest to revive the Shorts franchise...and we're giving ourselves a mid July deadline to come up with directors and pieces......if we don't have anything concrete by then....then it's theatre sports ensemble it is! Look out Actorlympics....there's a new improv show in town! Theatre sports should be fun.......so we'll see.....

The main problem now.....is finding directors for Short 3.....I'd really love to do Shorts 3...but well....it's pretty late in the year...and people have other stuff lined up and are pretty busy.....coz let's face it......late Oct/early Nov is literally just around the corner......our mid-July deadline is also cutting it rather fine.......so yea......I've tried asking a few people.....and most of them don't have the time....but still, fingers crossed....you never know what might happen.......

Well....till then.......that's it for my weekend wrap up.......ha! it's actually almost the end of the week when I'm writing this...tho the date won't show it......sue me if I like to plan my posts...... ; P

Deadline or dateline....

Okay...this has been a mild form of frustation for me for a while......coz...I've always been under the impression that when something was suppose to be done by a certain time...it was called a deadline......but other people say...dateline......so here it is.......fresh from Wiktionary and Merriam Webster Online.....

Wiktionary:

deadline (plural deadlines)

1. A date on or before which something must be completed
   
   Merriam-Webster Online:
   
   dead·line
   Pronunciation: -"lIn

   Function: noun

So there is it folks! Read 'em and weep. I rest my case.

NTV7 is the new 8TV

Had to drop some stuff off at NTV7 yesterday......that marked my first return to the TV station after the whole Star Idol.....fiasco.......I am insistent on probably not watching the show...well...the first ep anyways...but i am not voting.....well....maybe for the Edison Chen lookalike....haha...so much for....self-control or integrity.... but anyways....there was Star Idol......then before that I went on the Breakfast Show.......so it seems that fate brings me to another TV station again.....the last one being 8TV......

There use to be a period of time where I'd just be visiting 8TV every couple of months for one thing or rather....be it auditions.....or extra-ing for a TV show......has the wheel turned and now it'll be NTV7? Well....I am on their books after the whole Star Idol thing.....they called me for an audition...but I had a day job and couldn't go.....hope they'll still call me....every little bit helps in this business.....

Perhaps tho.....it's not the individual TV stations...but the main corporation itself that my fate is....intertwined with....I mean......I'm buds with Baks who used to work in Media Prima and is still affiliated.....I have also gone for auditions at Sri Pentas.......

Oh well....whatever it is.......que sera sera......or in it's italian form....Quello che sarà, sarà

NLD is dead to me....

I'm just been crying til my stomach hurts.....my emotions are so roiled up I can even begin to sleep......and i'm not sure i want to....but i have to coz I have work tomorrow...

RANT WARNING........Sums...you might not want to read this.....





Nick....WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!! You ask why can't we pay for your band too?? why can't Paolo Delfino chip in for the amps? Coz you have amps but don't want to use them....you think we're hiring them?? WE ARE FUCKING NOT! I asked my friend for a favour...I didn't even think they'd say yes...but they did and all they asked for in return was 2 amps and 3 mics and to bring in their photog.....EuGene even asked me if they'd be getting paid I said no...but they still said yes......I am broke now...and I still have to pay 1k for the prom coz i'm the only one who can afford to and I initially thought i could afford it(but not anymore) !!Go on your fucking ego trip...who the fuck do you think you are???? I believed in you...that's why I gave you so much leeway...but you DISSAPOINT ME......in my books Paolo Delfina is bigger than you...way bigger...I'm not to sure but I think people in the actual indie circle might actually know who they are.....so what if YOU haven't heard of them? Do you play at JamAsia? Have you played at No Black Tie? The Attic? Have you even performed at like songwriter circles, doppelgangers...(frankly I didn't even know about the last ones til recently...haha)......All you've performed at is Laundry..and you think that you've made it? Screw you....YOU HAVE AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM. DEAL WITH IT. You say you have depression? Well guess what? I've been dealing with mine for the last gawd knows how many years.....you've had girlfriends who loved you...I've had nothing...no one but my fucking self.....you had SUMS for gawd sakes!! She's a real gem!!!! Even if it didn't last.....I'VE HAD FUCKING NOTHING....so sue me if I wanted to pay for Paolo Delfino...I like them...but i'm beginning to not like you...no I don't like you anymore....you suck....you made me bawl my eyes out til my stomach hurt....in a way then...you make me sick....I can't stop crying coz I don't know what to do.......you have Kelvin..you have Christine...you have that chick in Ozzie or whatever...I HAVE NOTHING!! FUCKING NOTHING/1!!!~!~!~ SINCE MY ASs HOLE OF AN EX-BOYFRIEND....SO SUE ME IF i WANTED TO MAKE MY OWN FUCKING PROM WHICH I'M FUNDING SPECIAL BY HAVING A RELATIVELY KNOWN INDIE BAND PERFORM...SUE ME IF I WANTED TO MAKE IT SPECIAL.....

I don't really know what to say anymore....except...WHy ever would J or anybody want damaged goods like me?

Rest assured Nick that now...since it's so bad of them to not chip in for amps...Paolo Delfino won't be using YOUR amps that YOU'RE renting....coz they won't be performing.....and since they won't be performing....there's no need for me to chip in for rental either...coz that was the only reason I was chipping in....you're on your own...just the way you like it no?

ps: zombie bassist - don't let this go to your head...

pps: I HATE people who make me feel bad about myself with a vengeance...so refer to blog title....

200 Pounds Beauty

Was feeling a bit down yesterday night......my brush with my own private psychic vampire wasn't enough to cheer me up....so escapism it is!......decided to catch a movie...not being able to watch the big summer movies like Ocean's Thirteen or Shrek the Third......I decided to watch 200 Pounds Beauty the lastest Korean rom-com that's suppose to have knocked off infamous Korean romcom My Sassy Girl from top earner position......

I have to give Korean's props for one thing.......thier romcoms are definitely therapeutic....I laughed, balked, sobbed and bawled during the show...and walked out of the movie feeling.......calm, collective and pensive.....with a strange urge to listen to calming music...t'was a shame my mobile had run out of battery or I'd have just sent out an sms requesting Sulfian Stevens from my own private psychic vampire...

But anyways....on to the movie reveiw!

The storyline is nothing new.....fat girl falls in love with handsome skinny guy and loses weight...kind of for him...but I'm not too sure......coz that's the iffy part.....parts of the story were a bit of.....leaps of faith...be it a failing in the translation or just plain slight under par screenwriting....I'm a stickler for a good story....the story takes some of your usual cliches and plays to them....naturally enough, coz I mean why mess with something that works? When a critic said it was a cross between Music and Lyric and Love on a Diet , they weren't joking......but of course it's got that Korean twist to it.....the ending...is rather...true to life in a way...in no ways idyllic fairy tale ending but not absolutely improbable.........certain aspects don't really make sense....to me...like why exactly is she doing the whole make-over thing...what is the objective of her actually changing her life around? why did she have to even claim she all 'all-natural'..and did she really even want to be a singer again??!....but the production values, images and those tearjerker moments.....just seem to gloss all these points over...the movie does what it's suppose to....it sucks you in and makes you feel for Hana...and you just willing get pulled along for the rather enjoyable ride.....

It's one of those movies that gives you hope......with a realistic ending.....girl doesn't necessarily always end up with the guys......but it's still got enough ambiguity to make you think that it still might happen..or not......ambiguity, I like.......in a way...the movie's soul food....and it just goes to show that Korean in definitely the King of RomComs......so I'l really looking forward to I'm a Cyborg, But That's Okay.....Park Chan-Wook's if I'm not mistaken, first endeavour at a romcom....I mean come one.....Park is the dude that brought you such films like Oldboy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance...not that I've seen these movies....but come on....from violence to romcom....now that's one worth watching! Screw Rain.......watch it for Park Chan-Wook man!

Thank you for Smoking

No...this is not a review of the movie of the same name...tho I do have it on my XHD...but it's just sitting there collecting dust at the mo'...

No......I just think I need a fag.......ooo! pun potential....in both senses of the word.....I mean, really...what's a fag hag suppose to do without a fag to hag??

But yes...smoke....ciggies.......I don't really need it.....nor want it actually.....but the very action, notion and thought of it....just makes me less stressed.....plus....it's a social tool!! It is!!!

I mean...if you're a smoker and a silent type...you can sit with a group all day and not say a word...coz you're smoking....you won't be considered as anti-social! It's a legitimate response!! Need an ice-breaker?..ever heard of the line..."You gotta light?" ??!!!

But really....the thought of smoking just makes me ill sometimes......and it's a good thing! Plus it'd be a waste for me to buy my own cigs.....they'd just go stale before I finish smoking them...coz I lack the drive to smoke....coz I don't need it......

But yea....smoking........it's a social tool....event.....people gather at the office smoking spot to gossip and bitch........people pour their hearts out while they smoke.....my wanting to smoke probably has more to do with me not wanting to be left out than the act of smoking itself....

So now I only smoke with one person.....because he is the most important aspect of my life in which I do not want to be left out from.....I want to be included in his life.....and so I include myself by smoking with him.....sharing a cig so he won't smoke too much or waste that cigarette.....

Girls are dumb creatures......dumb creatures indeed.

The story of my (love)life.....

I Believe
作詞：阿怪　作曲：金亨錫

I Believe 當我在妳家門口　下雨了　你看了也會難過
I Believe 妳不說話的時候　也是一種　其實妳在回應我

雖然不曾說　相信妳正在懂　就算牽的不是我的手　我不真的難過

不知道在高興什麼 妳的笑容　有時候也寧可當作妳在為我加油
不知道在妄想什麼　只告訴自己　I Believe
妳總會看到我　在某個時候　想讓妳陪伴的是我

I Believe 沒有回應的時候　只不過　正好妳在電話中
I Believe 語音信箱的沉默　也是一種　其實妳在傾聽我

雖然不曾說　相信妳正在懂　就算牽的不是我的手　我真的不難過

不知道在高興什麼　妳的笑容　有時候也寧可當作妳在為我加油
不知道在妄想什麼　只告訴自己　I Believe
妳總會看到我　在一切之後　留在妳身邊的是我

那延續太久的一時衝動　在妳身後的獨角戲　聚光燈沒亮過
懷疑　是自己編造的內容　妳從不真的認得我

不知道在高興什麼　妳的笑容　有時候也寧可當作妳在為我加油
不知道在妄想什麼　只告訴自己　I Believe
一定會有結果　在很久以後　留在妳身邊的是我　會陪著妳的人是我

Toe Stepping...

It would seem a little comment of mine might have stepped on some toes...and for that...I am sincerely sorry.....

I mean....really who am I to say what's good and what's bad or what's good enough or not right?

I really didn't mean anything by it......it was I'll admit a bit of a catty comment........but hey we're all entitled to our own opinions.....I just hope this won't result in a feud.....tho it would be fun......haha...so says the woman who will not be here to deal with it.....

But let it be known if one does ensue.....that that was my own opinion......and not that of anyone else affiliated or associated to me....but this my blog afterall.....and so I am entitled to my opinions....be they wrong or right.......and I'll be the first to admit.....I can at times be a tad tactless........

But I am really sorry if said comment hurt anyone's feelings.......

Oh....how perasan of me......for all I know, no one's even the slight bit offended....and it's all just me! haha.....I am nothing if not my own drama queen.........this is my blog afterall......haha.......

My Interpretation

"My Interpretation"
- MIKA

You talk about life, you talk about death,
And everything in between,
Like it's nothing, and the words are easy.
You talk about me, and you talk about you,
And everything I do,
Like it's something, that needs repeating.
I don't need an alibi or for you to realize,
The things we left unsaid,
Are only taking space up in our head.
Make it my fault, win the game
Point the finger, place the blame
It does me up and down,
It doesn't matter now.

'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again.
This is not about emotion,
I don't need a reason not to care what you say,
Or what happened in the end.
This is my interpretation,
And it don't, don't make sense.

The first two weeks turn into ten,
I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen,
Does it really matter?
If half of what you said is true,
And half of what I didn't do could be different,
Would it make it better?
If we forget the things we know.
Would we have somewhere to go?
The only way is down, I can see that now.

It's really not such a sacrifice

And it don't have to make no sense to you at all,
'Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Only time will tell.....

Things have been set in motion......all too familiar things.....

I have a bad feeling about this......

Will history repeat itself?

Only time will tell....

Faith and Disappointment

Disappointment knows no bounds.....

It's really sad to see people who you've put faith in...let you down.....sometimes you just give people too much credit......

I mean....you go and think...this person's just like me.....gone through not so dissimilar drastic life changes....seems to come have the same wavelength......or to be more precise, and we are being precise.....echos the similar thoughts and mentalities you've had...........you turned out alright....so how come they've gone horribly wrong?

I suppose you can choke it up to evolution.....? Darwinian theory......? everybody's different and it's in their nature......it's in their genes....they way they've been brought up, more likely the people they've hung out with and how they've let things affect them...which basically just gets back to who they really are...

Each of us decides how certain incidents will affect our lives.....people who leave us, people who teach us, people who help us and people who let us down........

We can either choose to learn, let live, forgive and forget.........or hold on to the negative, lash out, stay angry and let negative emotions fester and affect our lives.....

Those emotions lead to the dark side....haha...a lil Star Wars humour there.....hehe.....

But I have to say.....the best form of revenge is living well......and just letting it be......

I mean what's the use of faulting your 'oh so much more better life, since your gone' to the person who hurt you?

To me...it's just too much hassle to hold onto all that negativity and act on it......it's just easier to let go and ignore.......I mean, why get worked up and waste brain cells?

But anyways.....I digress.....you put your faith in someone....someone who has so much potential but goes and screws it up by developing a major case of inflation of self importance.....too little success is going to their heads....

This person needs to realise that.....most of us...are annoyed.....annoyed because we're starting to pity this person......pitying someone who could be so much....but yet is letting things go to their head..........

Disppointted indeed.

But that's life init?

Seedlings of an idea...

Went to watch Vision Works' Actorlympics yesterday and surprise surprise I bumped into Qahar, Syat and Syed......so the usual after show activity ensued....mamak session.......long mamak session......

So eventually me and Qahar started talking.....and me being desperate to experience the acting buzz again......said we should do something.....and since Qahar said if you know the right people, and he seemed to know the right people, you can get Stor DBP for free........the seedling to stage re-vitalise that old Chaotic Harmony Theatre franchise, Shorts.....was formed.....so ladies and gents.......with crossed fingers....look forward to Shorts III.....

Those of you familiar with current Malaysian youth theatre will probably be going....and how is that different from The Oral Stage?

Well, experience for one. Most of us, the team, will most likely comprise of people who've been involved in theatre for the last....5-6 years. They'll most likely include ex-CHT-ers and ex-Rep16:21-ers. And unlike The Oral Stage, Shorts will not only comprise of original works, but will also be doing shorts or excerpts taken from established playwrights too. Another differing point will be....to a certain extent...will be higher production values....ha! how self-righteous!

Aside from that...upon talking to Soefira Jaafar who later joined us at the mamak......we then came upon the idea to establish a improv ensemble......much like, I think, Second City.....where you have a group of people who constantly do improv together......that makes it easier for this group of people to do something like Actorlympics, coz they already have this awareness of each other and this...camaraderie that helps immensely in improv.......okay..I truth...I've lost my train of thought....to let's just leave it at that shall we?

So basically.....in future..aka right after my internship.....look out for news on Shorts III and improv meets! haha!!

Dateless for prom?

I have yet to acquire myself arm candy for the prom...no...I has endeavour...most likely in vain...to call it a Leaver's Ball....but what kind of ball do you have at a club?? With only 60 people???...a small one....hahha....I crack myself up........(note the sarcasm please)

Am in the midst of contemplating whether and how best to go about asking someone to go...

Helena suggested I ask someone to ask me.....since I complain of being tried of asking said someone to things....

I think it a novel and interesting approach that would throw all sorts of connotations and assumptions into the air........said assumption and connotation will also most likely be desired.....but!...it's really not my style........I'm a self-dubbed queen of subtlety when it comes to matters of the heart.....and look how far that's gotten me!

So in the end.....I will just have to be thick skinned and just ask said person to the LEAVER'S BALL.........and see what happens..........

Either that or go stag..........elch......

JRM

My recent and most recurring obsession....

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers...he's played a glam rockstar, a football coach, a rock icon and a many-a gold-digging social climber......now he plays Henry VIII in Showtimes' The Tudors.

























I think he pretty much speaks for himself,wouldn't you say?

He will be mine one day.....just you wait.....

What if...

What if, everytime you leaped off a cliff, you could spread wings and fly?
What if, you punched out, every person who could do you harm?
What if, you could walk away and leave everything behind?
What if, you'd crashed your car that time on the highway?
What if, you could grow claws out of your knuckles?
What if, you had the power of telekenesis?
What if, you could

What if?

This is why I don't get dates......

Just a quick post.....

I just received possibly the best compliment I've gotten in years....

A rather nice young gentleman said I looked rather fetching.....

Yes, ladies and gents....he said fetching....or at least that's what i think he said...if he actually did say that....then yes......that IS the best compliment anyone has ever given me......call me old-fashioned!!!

And what did I say in return?? I said, And what's that suppose to mean?

Brilliant Ames.......absolutely f-ing brilliant............This is why you don't get dates.........

aigh.......

Open Mic Gig

Just plugging my friend's gig.....check it outlah....SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC!

Uh Oh.....

A startling discovery......I have just discovered that.......my posts are getting less and less.....

I shall endevour to increase post count...and commit myself to posting as often as possible......

This blog shall live on! It has to! For all my future fans....and all future punters!!

Pirates of the Caribbean : At World's End

It's been roughly two days since I watched Pirates 3...so my reaction to it will be a bit less....volatile.....so...bless them....

First Reaction: IT'S NOT CAP'N JACK'S FAULT, WILL AND LIZ TURNER CAN'T HOLD THEIR OWN ON SCREEN......SO DON'T PUNISH CAP'N JACK!!!!

Second Reaction: Leave the sappy love scenes to the girl writers, boys......or at least give it to a dude who can write it well....like Nick Sparks...and even he didn't write the screenplays for his movies...I mean look at Ep 2 of Star Wars...heck look at the entire Star Wars Prequel........most men can't write love scenes to save their nuts!

Third Reaction: Nothing beats Pirates of the Caribbean : Curse of the Black Pearl. And as big a fan as I am of Cap'n Jack......maybe they should have just left it at that.....

Pirates 3......is a marginally enjoyable movie...even in my half groggy but wired on chocolate state watching it at 11pm on Tuesday night. My brain was still in enough working order to work out the inadequacies in the movie. I mean, sure after watching Pirates 2, you kinda gather that it's kind of a glorified trailer for the final installment.....and I don't mind......coz if that was the trailer....imagine the movie right? And that's where it all went horribly wrong.

Pirates 2 and 3 still pale in comparison to their predecessor.

In the case of Pirates 3....it was a case of too much in too little time, yes 2 hours and 40 minutes is still too little time......if they'd just kept it simple...then it would have been a far more enjoyable movie.........but okay....I get that they want to add depth into the movie.....so erm....how about adding some of the depth into the second movie that was just this one long gag fest??? I mean, the movie had so much potential.....I mean it's got a great myth to draw on...pirates...it's got characters who have like so many stories to tell.....Tia Dalma, Jack Sparrow, Barbossa and even Will and Elizabeth...to a grudgingly certain extent........and come on...Jack Sparrow steals the show! Which is probably one of the reasons for that little add on scene at the back.........to bring it back to Will and Elizabeth......coz I mean...for the most part, they've been so overshadowed by the rest of them....they're too.....normal.....heck...even Beckett's got more of a story and presence......

But I think the problem was still too much info....the writers were trying to really flesh out the world they were in......


****Spoiler Alert*******


Brethen Court....Singapore...which should be Temasek by the way!!! do your research you American bastards!!!.....Tia Dalma being Calypso....the double and triple crossing...the stabbing of the heart and the Flying Dutchman always needing a captain.........


****Spoiler Ends*******


It was all rather much like information diarrhoea..........they should have just kept it simple...and wrote everything into a book.....like Star Wars' expanded universe......then you can write everything you want......give the whole bloody thing as much depth as you need.........the writing for the movie...was....oh my gosh! in a commercial Summer Blockbuster??!! really?? I always thought this was an arthouse thing.....self indulgent..........the writers had so much to tell...but lacked the time, finesse and self control to know when to stop.......



****Spoiler*******


I mean really....what purpose did Sao Feng, the Brethen Court and Singapore really serve? nothing....not a single iota.....they were just along for the ride.....to free Calypso I here you say?? Witches have freed spirits for less......just rewrite the mythology, streamline it and all you need is an artifact and some magic words......better yet...Davy Jone's heart! hey presto.......Happy ending!!!! but no.....they had to be grandiose...they had to try and be Harry f-ing Potter.............they had to try and be...non-Disney.....puhleeze.......you give us a cheesy wedding vow exchange during a fight thing and give us unhappy ending??? and you claim that there's no fourth one planned??? I'll believe you.......in the next ice age you franchise-money-making movie-killing bastards!!


*****Spoiler Ends**********


My only consolation, if there is a fourth.....is that Johnny'll still be Cap'n Jack and Kiera Knightley won't be in it..........Hallelujah! Sorry boys.....I like Kiera but she was shyte! Her lines were anyways......THAT SPEECH??!!! Who is she?? Joan of Arc??!! NO!!!! And I very well hope that Jack gets a love interest in the next one......and I'll be first in line to beg for the part!!! I swear....I could have shagged his filthy grimy scruffy arse right there in Davy Jone's Locker......Sorry Orly.....take a backseat please.........Orlando Bloom lacked so much sex appeal.....he could almost be a robot....no wait, I take that back...I happen to think Data's quite sexy actually.....this is one film where squeaky clean good looks will get you nowhere....

So should you watch Pirates 3? By all means.....if you've been following it so far, sure.....and equal amounts of people do enjoy this movie...I enjoyed it somewhat but not as much as I'd hoped......it's a fun romp that thinks a bit highly of itself......but it's alright....just leave the connoisseur side of your brain at the door...
