SUNDAY 18th JULY

As I was saying in my facebook just a couple of hours ago, today's another amazing theatre day for me. This is of course after the lovely CHT Awards night last night at Hotel Nikko, hosted by the CHT network where I met a lot of beautiful people, mostly from Penang. CHT Network is also a big company from Penang - more about them later - and Joe & I met Mr. Ching and his family, daughter, father mother sisters - you see I was one of the recipients of the CHT persuit of Excellence award 2010 - among an illustrious grouping including the Lifetime achievement that went to Lai Meng!
So, back to today at klpac we started the day at 12 noon (after breakfast at the Mamak's) with preview of Indicine Live 2, then Joe's acting class at 2 while I went to Nala's Wayang Kulit she created all the way from Bangalore, then the GAMELAN passing out show with cikgu Ezanin and his 8 students performing at the lobby of klpac, complete with 4 petite dancers from ASWARA, then to 'AFTER JULIET' at Pentas2 klpac, while at klpac we have 'SHOUT' at Pentas 1, rehearsals of CUCI the musical and T4YP with Chris Ling & Alex Chua! WOW! it made me feel like I'm at the Edinburgh festival - simply amazing!!

If you have a moment to spare on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, you should make tracks to klpac or The Actors Studio@:OT10 - you could be in for a treat - but check first in case it's dark days :)

SHORT+SWEET 2010

The excitement has started. We began by meeting the composers & lyricists of the Musical theatre section last night and today interviewed directors and gave out the scripts. This week also saw the theatre scripts being sent out to the assessors! Soon Musical Theatre will meet up to audition actors - about 40 have registered - that's Tuesday night! WOW! The design for the posters is ready, now just waiting for the final flyers to be printed, when Joel returns from China.

As we speak, I went to JB with Ian on Tuesday to recce JOTIC for LIFE SDN. BHD. 5 I'M POSITIVE goes to Johore programme 6-8 August and, mid next week the MAMAK MEE-AH team heads for Penang for 2 performances at WOU - made possible by CIMB Private Banking. Thanks Grace & team.

Right now? I'm waiting to see 'SHOUT' at Pentas1, while Joe & friends see 'AFTER JULIET' at Pentas2, and come Sunday night I shall be seeing 'UDA DAN DARA' at IB.

All very exciting indeed!

To Password or not!

Oh my God,

I forgot it again. My password that is - how terrible. Thankfully those people at blog.com know what to do - I bet they get a lot like me kind of cases. Now I'm ok again and have chosen one less complicated :)

It's now almost mid July and my last posting was May 1st. From then till now I have been on the stage ADAM took a big chunk of my time - all of May and almost all of June too.

Now it's still time to get over it - just on Sunday during rehearsals of LIFE SDN. BHD.5 'I'M POSITIVE' which is going to JB early August, one of the new participants recalled the night he watched ADAM and how he wanted a mother like Auntie Noni who will embrace him to comfort his HIV positive being! It brought tears to me and others in the room. Such is the strength of ADAM. And am missing my ADAM too. Hope he comes back soon.
