You know what...doing the 9-5 drawl.....just starting out doing the 9-5 crawl....and I've realised and am abso-freakin-lutely thankful and goddess blessed to have found my profession....coz really..if i were to do the usual 9-5 thing.....i'd go stark raving mad abso-f*ckin-lutely bonkers...
I mean...how the hell do they have time to do shyte?? I mean...you wake up at godly hours to toil through rush hour morning traffic....then go home in the evenings.....which by that time you're too knackered to do anything! What the hell kinda life issat?!
So thank the heavens above that I'm an actor-entertainer-talent-model-theatre practitioner.......we work odd hours, nights and evenings and have the rest of the time to ourselves......goddess bless the human need of entertainment.....

So the rat race begins...
Right.....
So yesterday marked the beginning of my mini sojourn into the rat race.....I say mini coz it's an internship...and it's only 10 weeks....... ; P
KLPac's alright....haha...for me...it's kind of like coming home? Coz I already know everyone here....well virtually everyone here....and they all know me. So it's cool......but really there's really nothing much for me to say about interning at KLPac.......aside to complain about it being a pain to go to lunch without a car...so thank goodness for friends.......and I don't sit close enough to Gary...*pout*
Oh well...interns can't be choosers....

Presence...
Just came back from That Was The Year.....Sek Thim's new show playing at Pentas 2 all this weeka and next......It's definitely worth a watch...if you only watch one play this year...make it this one......but this isn't a review......I just wanted to say that to help publise the play........the review for it will come next week when I watch it again.........see!! I'm watching it twice! It's definitely worth it!
Anyways....plug over....
Right...so I just got back from That Was The Year......and it just went to prove something that I've always known and thought to be true....for me anyways...
站在舞台上的男人是最有魅力的 。
I don't know. There's just something about seeing a person on stage. And having that stage presence...being in his element........that just attracts me......
Tonight it was Malik...one of my Happy People.....Happy People are to me, people who just by their mere company are able to make me smile...I haven;t seen him in ages and only very recently did I realise that he was in That Was The Year.... But anyways...watching him onstage.....doing his thing.....that....concentration..and dedication.......is...awe-inspiring..... It's like when I saw Gary in Screwed... Or when Nick does his songs.......it's just that belief? in what they're presenting to you......That's also why I love YiDa, Chaw Ge, Daivd Tao...musicians who really love their music........That's why I like Oguri Shun, Fujiwara Tastuya, Narimiya Niroki.....actors, who despite not having seen them onstage....from their movies and TV stuff...I hope to Goddess they're that dedicated...and I think they are...I mean Yukio Ninagawa's gotta at least have that much foresight.....That's also why I'd do almost anything to help my boys, my real boys....coz I see their potential.......I can see what they could be if they'd just set their minds to it.....
Jeez...I make myself sound like some...贵 人 ....someone who's actually influential enough to make a difference........but every little bit counts no? Everyone needs someone to believe in them no? From that one person...it can multiply to two...then three...then four...then perhaps even exponentially......all it takes is just one person to open the right door......
Hhaha...from a post that was suppose to be a lament about my ideal boyfriend....it's turned into something else entirely.....but that's the way thoughts go....jumping from one thing to the next........how philosophical......I'm so pretentious........and I'll admit it tho.....I am......Pretentious.......it's my middle name.......
Peace...out....

Tell Tale Heart
Right...so I caught Gavin Yap's new show, an stage adaptation of EdgarAllen Poes' Tell Tale Heart on Sunday. Courtesy of Faridah who gave a bunch of us free tickets......
So what Do I think of the show?
It could have been better.
How?
The writing could have been improved and so could the direction.
I liked the inclusion of multimedia...it's still kind of...something new in the Malaysian theatre scene...but other than that..that's about it.
Swee Keong's physicality is awesome......very...precise.......but this piece didn't really let him shine.......I thought he quite good in Girl from Ipoh. I know he mainly a dancer, but I think he'd make a pretty good actor too.
The choice of casting U-En is a bit iffy for me. I find it a bit hard sometimes to understand him. The annunciation and accent needs working on. U-En has this really distinct way of speaking that permeates all his characters. As does his posture. It makes all his characters blend into each other in a way. A bit....if you've seen it once, you've seen it all.

Lazy Days...
Gawd...I'm so lazy....I couldn't be bothered to right this stupid essay and these gawd awful journals to hand in to PT for the final module of the course. I get the whole memoirs angle...but really..I'm still too young for memoirs.......and I understand that they need something other than our presentation to gauge our performance and give us a grade on.......but doesn't she realise that it's kind of doing the same thing twice over? The essay and the journal...if both are written properly...are EXACTLY THE SAME THING!
Or perhaps I'm just plain lazy...and yes....i probably should have written my journals as we moved along during rehearsals and production.......but I was just so lazy......I had so many things on my plate!...the production...then came StarIdol....then Amazing Race Asia.......and I did quite a lot for the production okay? I did costumes, designed them anyway...but I got them drafted too! And I cut the materials...and to get them drafted I had to go to KL!.......I made 9 out of 17 mask for the backdrop screen......I downloaded some of the sound bites...not to mention ran over to Justin's house in the middle of the night to get the soundscape which we eventually did not use done......okay...writing it all down...it suddenly doesn't seem like much....but still......okay..perhaps...the end is...I'm a procrastinator by nature and I'm lazy.......I don't know....
Either way....I just think that all this homework for this module is stupid....oh....and I came up with ALL THE MONEY for the royalties.......all 350 ringgit........compared to Shape of Things it's tuppence I know...but still......and seriously.....if we really shouldn't be touching that precious 200 bucks....PT...keep the money, coz you obviously need it more than I do.....
But I digres.....I....am.....lazy......
But I shall persevere...........I shall finish this damned paper.........
