There was a cat above my room. As in, "inside" the ceiling. It was so noisy that my dad had to take a ladder and come to my room to halau the cat. ;D


Costume. ;D

Was playing with some costumes this afternoon. I was wearing this 19th century jacket with a hat. That's basically today's post. A bit tired now. 3 hours of piano is killable. Killing me..? Whatever.

This..

Follow your dreams
Be yourself, an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you can not do
I believe I believe I believe
In you

..is very true.

But see, the problem is that even though you like doing what you'd like to do, that doesn't mean you're good at it, right? See, I like singing, but I can't fucking sing for nuts.

Would you still want to do what you like, after being criticized by people who don't care shit about your dreams? Do you really? I guess some do. Some people just don't care about what people think about them, but I'm not like that. I wish I could be though, so I can be the most insensitive bastard in this world.

Why bother auditioning for something that you'd want to do, but not capable of? I don't know, really. Is the fame that you seek? Or just that extra attention? Most probably it's your passion.

Bleh.

As requested by Keith.

cheerioseets, arty.

Rawr. I'm hungry.

I'm doing my homework! Finally! xD

cheerioseets, arty.

wth

- - - Edit - - -

YES! I'M IN!

Received a call from Marcus just now. He's one of the directors. I GOT CASTED FOR THE LEAD CHAR. YESSSS! XD
- - - EditEnd - - -

This is my resume's picture! ;D

Good gosh, the auditions was fun! ;D I mean, not fun fun la. But the feeling's still the same. Nervous before you go, nervous after you get out.

So I reached KLPac at 10am after breakfast, of course. I was memorising my monologue in the car, on the way to KLPac. Memorise memorise memorise. I'm always like this. Last minute thing is just..

Great! Like, last minute stuffs. Anyways, arrived at 10, saw and waved to Az'farr. He was crying, mumbling some stuffs. Seriously. Then, I saw this book in his hands.

"Bloodihood Story"

OKAY! Az'farr got casted as the lead actor in the play and he's getting paid! ;D Well, I hope I get paid doing all of these as well. But darn it! XD

I showed him my resume. I'm so proud of it! *squeeee* Ahem. Sorry. So yeah, tried to memorise my monologue then it's time! Well, not really. The directors were all late.

Skip all the boring part. I met Marcie! I think. She's like the registration person and all. So I registered, took a picture with the 'Registration Camera' and sat there and memorise my monologue. And there I was! In the Indicine, with 5 directors. Entered and started straight away.

Confusions by Alan Ayckbourn

A Talk in the Park is the final play in the set of five plays called Confusions. Confusions is a set of five short plays with interlinking themes of confusion, isolation, conflict and misunderstanding.

Arthur Mind you, I shouldn’t be here. By rights, I should be at home. That’s where I should be. Inside my front door. I’ve got plenty of things I should be doing. The kitchen shelves to name but three. Only you sit at home on a day like today. Sunday. Nothing to do. On your own – you think to yourself, this is no good, this won’t get things done – and there you are talking to yourself. You know what they say about people who talk to themselves? Eh? Eh? Yes. So I thought it’s outdoors for you, else they’ll come and take you away. Mind you, I’m never at a loss. I’m a very fulfilled person. I have, for example, one of the biggest collections of cigarette cards of anyone alive or dead that I know of. And you don’t get that by sitting on your behind all day. But I’ll let you into a secret. Do you know what it is that’s the most valuable thing there is you can hope to collect? People. I’m a collector of people. I look at them, I observe them, I hear them talk, I listen to their manner of speaking and I think, hallo, here’s another one. Different. Different again. Because I’ll let you into a secret. They are like fingerprints. They are never quite the same. And I’ve met a number in my lifetime. Quite a number. Some good, some bad, all different. But the best of them, and I’m saying this to you quite frankly and openly, the best of them are women. They are superior people. They are better people. They are cleaner people. They are kinder-hearted people. If I had a choice, I’d be a woman. Now that makes you laugh, I expect, but it’s the truth. When I choose to have a conversation, I can tell you it’s with a woman every time. Because a woman is one of nature’s listeners. Most men I wouldn’t give the time of day to. Now I expect that shocks you but it’s the truth. Trouble is, I don’t get to meet as many women as I’d like to. My particular line of work does not bring me into contact with them as much as I would wish. Which is a pity.

Tired of typing stuffs already.

Well, Nicol laughed! XD And and, Az'farr too! :D

I waited for a bit, and some directors came up to me to ask to try a few parts in their plays. Yesh! I've got 2 lead roles and one side one, but I'm not sure yet, cause they haven't called back to me. =S

Okay anyways, off to dinner. Here're some pictures from yesterday's 'Portrait shots' session that I supposedly had to take since I don't have a proper one of myself.

Date: 22nd June 2008
Venue: Everywhere in KLPac
Time: 4.30pm - 5.30pm


















My crazee bunch of younger friends. Believe it or not, I'm the oldest there. xD

cv

Sigh. I know I haven't been blogging lately. No, seriously. I feel really guilty now. ;D

Can anyone tell me what to blog about? Apart from my really really really boring life?

And I don't have a solo part anymore. I think I don't, but I'm not sure whether I do or not. It's really really really confusing. With a lot of really's and very's. It's becomes veally confucious-ing.

Anyways, I'm going to audition for Short + Sweet this Sunday. It's practically almost the same thing like Ten. 10 short plays 10 minutes long each? I don't know much about it. All I know is that it's coming from Australia and it's happening in M'sia for the first time. That's all I know.

That and I'm required to write a 'Resume' or a Curriculum Vitae. And it's really bothering me. It doesn't even reach half a page. Joy. I've got to prepare a potrait photo of me, which is yet to be done. So I tak tau. I haven't even chose a monologue yet. GAH.

Okay, I need to sleep. Sleep is all I need. And homework, of course. I don't need much of the latter. ;D

cheerioseets, arty.

gah

Damn it.

wae

Somewhat emo-but-not-so-emo-post?

I don't know why, but I don't know how I feel. It's like my feelings are blocked behind this wall that I just can't seem to climb over. It's scary, really. When I felt something, I have to write it down, if not it will seep through that wall and I won't be able to recall how I felt at that moment.

TEN related. If you haven't watched it, then, try to understand.

Is it that slight nervousness when it was the Preview night, or the opening night, when the 'thunders' are blasted aloud or that moment, just waiting for the flash or light to come on. Or that feeling of satisfaction that the show for the afternoon was finally over, but oh wait, there's one more evening show and you start getting nervous again.

Mixed emotions. Is a bad thing. Before yesterday's evening show, we did a emotional warm up. I mean, listening to everybody talk about their experience at TEN. Just really got to me. I mean, I really need to try to open up to my feelings. When I started to speak, I started crying. I don't know why, but I just did. I mean, I can feel the love that my 'other-family' is giving me, but I just don't seem to be able to get all that love into my heart.

Gah, I don't know. I don't know how I feel at all.

At least now I know I feel happy. I've got a solo part in my school concert. Yay. HAPPAEEEE. XD

Came back home at 12.15am yesterday. Right after the last performance at 9pm yesterday, we took lots and lots of photos and went to Italiannes @ The Curve. We had our cast party eating really good pasta and buckets of cold water. Bad for my throat, mind you. SOLO PART.

Sorry.

So yeah, we took lots of photos there and it's all on Facebook. 240 Photos. I went through all of them. Scary la. xD It was nice, though. The atmosphere and the ♥ that was flying everywhere. <3 you guys. ;D

'kay tired. HOMEWORK. LOTS OF IT. REALLY HEAPS AND PILES OF IT.

cheerioseets, arty.

drool

I haven't been to the local clinic in a really really really long time. But omgash. It changed! Like, really. Bright yellow walls and a large LCD screen in the waiting room. But the receptionists still haven't changed. Unfriendly when you first walk in and talk to them. But friendly after you've met with the doctor.

Well, at least my fever's gone down already. Still having a really really sore throat and stuck nose and wondering when it will be unstuck. Blocknose. Square nose? Oh whatever. xD

And TEN! Wow, I mean, like, seriously a lot of people came for Ten. And I hope this many people would come for this afternoon's show and the evening one. But, Corliss and her friends are coming this afternoon and I just can't wait to see 'em. Last night, Nana and Pikky came for our evening show. Yay. ;)

I'd love to get Isaac, Jun Yu, Chow Siang, Joshua Mohan, Nana, Pikky and the 4 musketeerests' view on Ten and prolly post it up on the T4YP blog.

That and people love us. So you should totally come. =D

cheerioseets, arty.

artyloveu

Lay Yin made allllllllllll of these for me. ;) Plus a few more, but they weren't there when I took this picture. xD

I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired.

If you noticed, I haven't blogged, or even came online for a few days in a row. And I haven't touched my computer for a really long time. I think it misses me. Sometimes, I hear this sobbing sounds coming from my computer. Ah well.

The rehearsals for the past few days have been starting right after school and finishing at about 11.30pm each night and I reach home just before midnight. Then I have to wake up at 5.30am to get ready for school and have to endure 8 hours of school/torture. And it repeats. Not good for health, really. I'm seriously gonna break down already. Headaches are fun, I kid you not. So fun, I just wanna go and eat shit all the time. =)

That aside, I've got to go now. Sorry for my TWO STRANGER VISITORS that, I think, are disappointed cause I don't blog enough. Sorrrrrry. Really tired now, I'm gonna go. =)

Hi everyone. I'm Arthur. Sorry for not blogging, I really am.

There's a huge H O M E signs in front of the park. There's NO WAY you can't see it. Really.
1)When you do see those big signs and a bus stop right in front of it
2)Turn into it and you'll see a guardhouse.
3) Go all the way inside, and you'll see this brightly lit glass-brick building. That's KLPac. xD
4) And you can either park on the left or the right of KLPac.
5) And walk in, and you'll see two box buildings, which is the Box Office.
6) Buy your tickets from the Box Office and enter! ;D

I'm REALLY tired now. Really need to sleep, but I've got to rush to rehearsals now. T.T

Tuition. Gosh. I ♥ Trigonometry. =)

Ugh. So full! Just came back from breakfast. Tried out a new Mamak RESTAURANT near my house. Omfg, this mamak shop super nice. Like, seriously man. Clean toilets, high quality food (you know those packets of nasi lemak they have on the tables? It's freaking fresh with sambal, egg, RENDANG CHICKEN and other nice nutritious additions.), and oil free cutleries and tables. I was like, O______O"".

Wanted to give them a super nice thumbs up for having changed my mother's opinion of mamak stalls that has dirty toilets, not-so-tasty food and oily everything. But nah, can't be bothered. Loved the way they had this whole restaurant set up. CCTVs, those big automatic shades kinda things, AWESOME toilets, and good ol' Bollywood music blasting in the background. 5/5.

Thosai (Dosa, traditional South Indian food.) planta. Just nice. ;D

- - - - -

九里香， Nine Miles Fragrance? Not sure what's it called in English. But it's awesome. Been keeping that tree for like, ever? It blooms every year, but this year it just seems like it decided to go overboard and overbloom. Super nice smell man.

- - - - -

A lot of things have been happening to me lately, like yesterday punya rehearsal started at 9.30am - 5.30pm. Had to cancel tuition in the morning. o_o"

But I stayed a lil' longer to help Johann with the rhythm of his tap dance solo with Kim. Wow, tap dance, is just. Nice. Super cool, but I don't think I can ever tap dance. My ankle still swollen a bit. LOL. Maybe I shouldn't have used it when it was very very very swollen. Now the swelling still stuck there. xD

Finished at 6.30pm and went for dinnnner. I met my cousins and aunt there. Amazing, right? I haven't been to that road side restaurant for like, a year? And when I finally did, I met my cousins from my dad's side there eating. Such coincidence. It was good to see them, anyways. Missed them cause I had rehearsals yesterday. xD

When we were eating, there was a dog that was so cuteeee, and tagging along with us. So when we went home, it followed my brother into the car and so we kidnapped it. The owner of the restaurant asked whether it's ours or not, then he kicked it aside realllllly hard and so, we felt pity and let it follow us home. At first my mum was like, "It's a boy, let's take it home," then when we found out it was a girl, and my mum was like, "It's a girl?! I thought you guys checked it was a boy. Girls a lot of problems la, period and all." So we turned all the way back and put it back there.

DID I MENTION IT HAD A COLLAR? T.T

T.T I was playing with it, so cuteee la. I want a dog! MOMMY, I WANT A DOG! *sobs*

It's so cute and smallll. xD

My bro's hand is fugly! LOL.

Date: 6th June 2008
Venue: My room.
Time: 3 hours and counting.

Yes, my room is a PIG STY. I've started at about 10.00. Now's 5 to 1pm. I REALLY need to start cleaning faster. I'm taking my Undang exam at 1.35pm and I haven't started studying yet. LOL. =)

Question: How messy is your room?

- - Edit - -

I spilled chilli sauce on my keyboard. Dismantled it to clean out 2 years of dirt + truck load of chilli sauce.

How am I typing?


God bless Microsoft's on-screen keyboard!
Can be found from Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Accessibiity -> On-Screen Keyboard.

I failed my Undand exam. 41/50. Celaka betul la. Quite good for someone who didn't study, RIGHT?

Funniest picture ever. I SWEAR I didn't do anything to it. LOL.

Hi. Yeap, just hi. High? Hie. Pie. Pai. Pi. π. 3.142. Okay, whatever.

Growing close to someone. Having a liking for something. Forming a bond with something, someone or anything. Growing fond of something that seems to be there everytime we need it, like our handphones for example. That's essential in life, isn't it? Having that special something to relate to. Or just plain needing it for having it serve its purposes.

We need what we need. We'd do anything to obtain that special need. Needs are things that we want, engraved with our selfishness. When you crave for attention, we'd search high and low for it, even annoying a few people in the process. We all have a purpose for doing things. A purpose for playing music, doing our homework, studying for that very important exam. But sometimes, you'd just feel lost, having forgotten our purposes that we had at the very beginning.

I lost my purpose. I forgot why I played music. Was it because I was forced to? Or was it because that the neighbourhood children started playing and so you should as well? Even if you didn't want to play in the first place, you'll grow a bond, a bond so strong that you'd wanna bring that big, black box with you everywhere. But ah, I don't mind playing piano, it's prolly the best thing that happened to me. Being able to play my favourite music without any worries at all. I could sit there for hours, and I don't have any care about the world anymore.

Recently, I lost my interest in bonds with people. Why have that special bond if it's not going to bring you any benefit? Why try so hard to get that person's attention when they're just going to ignore you? Or maybe I'm just not trying hard enough, to befriend, to make them talk to me, or just simply acknowledge my presence. Is it because I'm incapable of putting all the super-duper extra effort?

Ah, I don't know.

Length does not equal legitimacy!

All too often a green playwright takes a promising idea and then batters you over the head with it for two hours!

A delicious dose of drama for this generation's savvy audience accustomed to short, condensed drama. Raw, lean and contemporary, who says top-level theatre can't be miniature?!
