APRIL 28th 2006
It's Krishen's first anniversay of his passing. It's raining, thunder, lightening outside.
I know Five Arts and friends are celebrating Krishen tonight. Joe & I are at KLPac, rehearsing 'Fastest Clock In The Universe'. But we know, Krishen knows we are with him. Joe wrote a beautiful article in April's Living Arts Malaysia. Some commented it brought tears to their eyes. According to Marion, on Astro today Krishen is featured on Profile Seni. Apt timing.
And I have decided to start a blog for myself. There are moments when I want to say something and cannot find the space for it. This seems perfect. I hope I will be diligent and not 'hangat, hangat tahi ayam'!
Today too, after my long life of 66+, I appear on the front page of The Star newspaper, thanks to Avon who selected me as their Ibu Karyawan! Marge jokingly said I'll need another cabinet to put all my trophies.
That Ibu Karyawan trophy is sitting pretty on my table in my office. Thank you Avon. Happy to have shared the day with Dato' Mazlan, Puan Chow Gek from Rompin, Pahang, Cik Catherine and Kak Zah Avon from Terengganu. We had a very good time with our most gracious Queen and Dato' Shahrizad.
I was a mixed feeling between joy and tears welling up inside of me, especially after the video on our beloved Datin Seri Endon. I don't know how Nori and Puan Leela do it, but that broken heart is still bleeding.
btw, thank you Shafinaz for those two beautiful songs, especially for us five women. What a treat!
I felt like turning back the clock to the early days of being a young mother to my only son and the many, many years of hardship, especially for him, having to look after himself while this single mother went to work at Radio, on the stage, and in advertising. God is great. He makes the time fly past and Feroz is now 40. He uses his writing as his outlight, and he writes well. I'd like to do the same.
Today,I read a 40 minute documentary on the Orang Asli, at TV Malaysia. It was like dejavu.
Well, This is it. I wonder if Joe will be proud of me? He normally reads through what I have written, but he won't this one, as it's going into cyberworld.
Thank you for supporting Malaysian Theatre!

Way to go Faridah!
I am so proud of you that you have started blogging!
Keep going!
I am sure your blog will become a means of us connecting to you no matter how far apart all of us are from you.
It's May 20th. So many days & nights have passed since I last wrote & we chatted - you & me as one!
Joe had the flu, I had the flu, while busy trying to rehearse for THREE productions almost together - Fastest Clock - which is a must see, BROKEN BRIDGES - kudos to our two young - Ky-Gan & Chuang Yik, and COMED TRIPLETS which Andy Cranshaw is directing for TAS.
We are looking for suport. If you are interested to SM,PA,whatever - but warning - it's hard work with little money!
Now off to my first presentation of my class 'Getting Our Act Together' at KLPac. Hope the students and friends will be inspired.
Thank you for spporting Malaysian Theatre
