Three months of waiting before something comes to an end
Three months to think about what was before and what might be
Three months grappling with a new state of being
Three months of missing, wanting and not having
Three months to know what I want and do it
Three months. Sigh.
Guess what - I didn’t make it into the Forbidden City casting, but BUT BUT! I made it into the Wild Rice Training Program!!! *muahahahahahahahahah* Which is soooooooo much more of a blessing really, its a great deal! *hugselfjumpshakebutt* So much more for me as in my direction towards becoming a better actor…….*mauhahahahahahhahahahaha* *muahaha*
Ok thanks. Good night *ha*
*ha*
Hostel was a farkin disturbing show! *&%#$&%#*&@ It was like pushing me to the limits - I didnt know whether to cry or vomit or faint or laugh, its so farking in your face that you feel like you have been stunned by a 300 mega watt thingambob. I couldn’t possibly eat after that so I just downed bruschetta and mushroom pizza. Even ham reminded me of human flless*puke* seee I could not even finish the sentence. *cover mouth* Hostel is NOT just digusting entrails; its discomforting and scary to see that side of human that is perversity and subversion. I give Quentin & Eli the trophy, they totally beat Saw hands down.
And btw did you know that if you do not vote in one parliamentary or presidential election, you are therefore disqualified from ever voting again and also to run for candidacy? #%#^*@^&#^&R$#@^(&* I don’t know if any one of you has anything to say, but certainly does not sound very right to me. I was intending to NOT vote in the coming elections because of some unmentionable reason that might land my ass in hot water (which you can ask me in private - govt spies i know who you are) , but after reading that bloody statement, i was like "F**k! I must vote!" Not only because I would have been forced to give up my right forever and ever but also because its wrong! So kiddos, buck up and vote - don’t give someone the chance to take your right away (even though its supposed to be a right and not a privilege!*grr*)
On another note, please go check out www.saladin.tv Its this really cool animated series done by Malaysia based on the legendary Islamic figure, Salah-Al Din. Talk about spreading the gospel - this is really good shit (1) cos its a good showcase of Malaysian animation talent, (2) It is such a freaking interesting take on the religion (3) its actually good PR for Islam. Good move by the government for once…and Silver Ant is a company worth looking out for! Certainly beats Zodiac hands down…and makes me really fired up about Egg Story (which is btw our only hope in this arena so lets all support em local acts!)
Again sorry for the streams of consciousness..its late, Ive been dancing my ass off and ululating like crazy (how i hate that word). Watch Man of Letters! I am one of the 5 cabaret girls, one of the singing student protestors and also one of the most bitchest school girls around. I will definitely be schizo after that. Woot
Update: *aheam* apparentlyyoucandownloadaformtoreinstateyourvotingrightanditsnotreallyabigdeal. BUT! Still does not mean people can do that sorta thing youno! Grr. *aheam*
Maria was good, Tony was crappy and the Jets had no energy until they sang Gee Officer Krupke 3/4 into the musical. I WASTED 138 SGD ON A BLOODY LOUSY MUSICAL! Man it really sucks to see that musicals of this "calibre" get to be hosted at the Esplanade - I think our own musicals could do great if not better then this crap! Well I admit that the second half was not as unbearable as the first half, but in all it tilted towards the "its so boring I could fall asleee…zzzzz" *cringe* The rearrangement of scenes totally killed the progressive climax of the play and the actors are half dead! Comparing movie and musical, the movie version is alot more tighter and more visually interesting. (well thats another argument altogether, so lets not get into that) I watched Wedding Banquet awhile bakc and it was so much better even though it was more mellow….it had subtlety and detail in performance, it was balanced and most importantly the energy was there! The Jets look as if they were just going through the motions, so was Tony really. Sharks did so much better and I was expecting more differentiation then just the gym dance sequence….! *slap forehead*
Okok enough bitching - after the musical I single-handedly sang all the songs in the musical im currently rehearsing for*laf* Was super high and super inspired to just whack all the songs..I think I must have been schizo *tsktsk*
Oh and seriously whats with the Indofood dry noodles commercial? Eh? And Osim. WE NEED AN ADVERTISING OVERHAUL!
BTW all this is what I call streams of consciousness - indulge me.
Good afternoon to one and all,
Reporting back from the otherside of the world. In today’s news, Isabella is actually in her own home sitting in her own couch and chilling out. In other news, her PDA is down and she had just had a thumbtack impaled into her foot. She has been declared a pedi-invalid. Weather-wise conditions are generally lucid with bouts of alcoholic showers.
Summary of the week events’ seem to indicate an even greater passion for the craft. Rehearsals with ensemble have led to interesting conversations and wonderful friendships. And the general poll results are in - some gay people do have straight fantasies, most straight people are actually bisexual and all humans do have a sex drive. This is the end of the weekly report - Chiam reporting, over and out.
Someone told me during a wedding I was co-ordinating, " You and him won’t get married. Just enjoy for now"
I asked her how she knew, she said "I have a feel for these things. I know"
On another note. there is another blog I’m doing that is under construction right now. It will be a fun thing to do so hopefully I get to update it often *cross fingers* Will unveil when it is time (work-related so guess what it is about) but its also a nice way to think back on things and to upload photos for your viewing pleasure of course! Aren’t I the most consideratest person you ever knew? *flutter eyelashes*
Rehearsals are starting soon and I decided that if I want to continue this I have to get a job. So its either waitressing or event co-ordinating for me(though my peeps would definitely balk at the former, not balk really, VIOLENTLY CONTORT) Though, event co-ord gives me more relevant experience to what I’m doing now (wedding planning & theatre)and what I can possibly do in future (project & event management, A & P etc). Hor hor? If that does not work out, then its back to a full time job while getting proper training before plunging back in again.
At least I think so. Anyway, plans are never concrete so we will see how that goes. I remember that one time when I wanted to go NTU and ended up in NUS. I freaking threw such a huge fit I thrashed my room, tore up the admissions letter and screamed the house down disregarding the fact that I did well enough to go somewhere and that NUS was not all that bad. Point is, I hated having my plans getting disrupted or not have things go my way. I get hissy. *hiss*
But now, what I learnt in going to auditions is that (1) You can’t control everything (2) you should just accept things as they come (3) continuing planning anyway because at least you know where you wanna be. And it’s really a blow to the ego for someone as proud *aheam* as me. (Quick someone tell me I’m pretty!) Yeah I admit, I’m not one for criticisms and snide remarks. But I’m ok so far. So far lah *smile*
Me and Luin in Film Form office pretending to be hard at work.
Definitely not the last one. Eek. The rest look pretty decent *laf* Courtesy of Wikipedia
(1) Thick, creamy clam chowder (any recommendations)?
(2) A day to chill out under the sun, nice drink and book in hand
(3) Laughs. I have concluded that I need more hysteria in my life
(4) Someone to be quiet with.
(5) More Da Chang Jin (Yesh I admit it, she enthralls me..woot)
(6) Good friends and a night out!*shake booty dui dui dui dui*
(7) A shopping spreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Yeah right.
(8) New eating places! Can I be a food reviewer? *evil menacing laf*
(9) Someone to really listen to me. Do I really sound that bad or make neanderthal noises?
(10) Progress!!!! (Package) Muahahhahahahahhaha.
Came back yesterday from 2 hours of dancing/stretching/yoga type shit and my muscles are already aching like mad. WTF! I used to be able to play one whole netball game without dying and 2 hours of simple stretching now is enough to kill me. I am OLD *old person-type drawnout sigh*
On another note, the rehearsals for ‘Man of Letters’ commence on the 10th. If I can figure out how to put photos nicely on this blog, ill show you what it’s really like to be an underpaid overworked ensemble *grin* Perhaps it will compel you to buy more tickets to watch theatre shows (seriously I doubt that, since you’d most likely will be asking "whats that got to do with this") and support "struggling artists’ such as myself *laf* It’ ll be SOOO fun! (pleasegodiwanttogetthewildricetrainingprogrammethingypleasepleaseplease)
