today we started our First rehearsals for our physical theatre piece directed by Helena "I loved you once, I love you now"...
yes i know.. EMO
to be frank, iv been itching to get started on this piece ever since I heard that we were gona do a physical theatre thing for T4YP. and since the troupe has now been split into a not very proportionate half.. sad, but yes. at least i can say, im really glad that i got cast into this one. very glad :) plus the masks suffocate me. haha. dont tell alex
for one, i havent a clue what physical theatre about but all that's about to change.
we have 4 weeks, 6 young people without a clue, 1 new SM and 1 very capable director, who is also a friend.
a recipe for .... a journey :)
having taken the very first step on this journey today, a mere inch away from the starting line..my only emotion is.... Fear
what fuels the Fear?
everything
bring it on bitch!
fulla fools

omg. opening nite last nite.... was... AWESOME :)))))))))
the audience was crazy, the couldn't stop laughing, the energy was bouncing off the walls and it couldn't have gone any better. sure there were a coupla fuckups, but then again, thats life ainnit?
chris was right.. just relax, have fun n fuck it if something goes wrong. the audience wont know anyways. n they didnt.. i think!
tonite is another show. eeeee, i cant wait! apart from my 20 min camp-out beneath the stage before the show starts.. i cant wait!
i must say though.. i am deeply touched.. and do realise how very fuckin lucky i am, to have all the support from those who mean more than a lot to me. they didn't have to come, they didn't have to text.. but they did. and so from the bottom of my heart, i thank them.
oh god. i think... im addicted.
n to think i waited 8 years to get back on stage.
nur oh nur oh nur.. what were u waiting for?
"roundabout"
the player.. over n out

so we had the 8tv crew come in n shoot 15 minute hamlet in almost full-dress today. ya ok.
its ok, so we missed a coupla lines n dropped a coupla props.
whatever.
up until that time they made me say
"i have a quickie on 8tv ... sth sth sth i cant remember..."
thats when i lost it
* red in face x beribu-ribu kali*
on another note. we are 98% done w our tech runs for both 15 min and r&g :)
2% more to be done tomorrow. a speed run. then a full-dress... then thats it really.

i received a call from a fantastic friend of mine who is travelling Europe just now
so here she is in a hostel in Rome, calling me, whilst i sit here
in W2 3L 003 , Cyberjaya.. @ work
might i add, with a sorethroat & a mood to rival a cow about to give birth
just to tell me.. she missed me
ah, i do love that woman.
yes, you shiva.
n to imagine i used to make up nicknames for her in highschool n stare daggers at her across our tuition table
production week starts tomoro, altho technically our run starts in exactly a week
as of tomorrow, i will be living in klpac
we have rehearsals and tech-runs and full-dress rehearsals every single day (and most nites) and im just...... overwhelmed!
BUT
in a good way
last nite was an absolutely OFF nite for more than a few of us
distractions alone were enough to throw a bus off a 5 lane highway
read: too bloody loud orchestra in the studio next door, blocking messed up, audience observing warm-ups, lack of focus.
but somehow, we pulled thru.
and something our director said about channeling our frustrations into good energies and subsequently using that to push ourselves is a good thing... actually made very much sense to me. o wow. wisdom of the highest degree. woot.
so fine. bring it on. all of it. music. lights. hunger. exhaustion.
by heavens, i charge thee....speak!
" there will now be a 15 minute intermission"
plate half empty or half full?

i just have to say thisat lunch i looked at the table behind
only to see a man carry a plate full of curry
as in.. JUST the curry - no meat, vege , just the curry sauce
on a big ass plate
like as if that was his meal for the day
and seated opposite him was a woman
who had just 2 limau kasturis on her plate
as if that too were her meal of the day
all i could remember thinking was
fuish
gila diet wei
u wana eat limau kasturi, eat at least 5 of em la
habis.. gastric
weird
upside-down

3 down 1 2 go

gah gah gah
*gasp*
3rd of june is merely 3 days away.. including today!
3 days till i bid thee farewell.. o script of mine
tis a scary thought indeed
but a worthy, formidable, realistic challenge indeed
4 scenes = 3 down + 1 to go
doable
the boys on the other hand, whom in my opinion ... o well.. have approximately 1.5hrs worth of script between them...
should start praying... now
actually.. nah, i take that back!
they are smart young un's. they can handle it just fine
if it were me, id be shittin myself from last weekend
its monday nite.. again
the weekdays run into the weekends , that run into weekdays again
the days, the nites come tumbling in. with nothin more than the skinny hands on a clock that separate the 2
in the end of it.. it all boils down to time doesnt it?
time. age. phases. time.
its only contender.. love
i love what i do now
so my time belongs to it
and similarly
if thats what i may love
my time will come
perhaps...
