Mood: Happy Music: "Imagine Me Without You" by Jaci Velasquez
Have no fear…Adrian hasn’t left the blogsphere! Been really busy wearing many different hats for the past month. Now that everything has settle down, I have time for myself to REFLECT on the happenings that occured. Here goes, working backwards!
STAGE MANAGER: It has been such an amazing n overwhelming experience working on the production of Lao Jiu: The 9th Born. I’ve learnt a lot under the guidance of Puay Tin, Melissa & Sek Thim. Definitely got a good taste of what izit like to be a stage manager and what is required of me. I felt like I have been shaped by this whole journey for the past 2 months from rehearsals, to tech-week, to performance day. Say it with me, a stage manager REHEARSE, RUN & RESCUE! Thankz for all the assistance, Jojo & Olivia. Love ya heaps!
FOOD POISONING: That was such a horrible experience. Had a bad lambchop and went thru ‘detoxifying’ process for 4 full dayz! Lost weight and trying to regain what I’ve lost. Buffet anyone? Nevertheless, I do believe it was God’s message to me that I was overworking myself.
THE LOST & THE ECLIPTIC: Even in my busiest schedule, I’m glad I had the chance to catch a stage performance at KLPAC during the Raya Break. Well I was a little bit dissapointed with the production only because I came with high expectations. Heard a lot of buzz about their supercool special lighting n sound effects and how the blackbox is transformed into some magical space. Well, I wasn’t that thrilled BUT, I was realy intrigued by the content and performance by the actors. To me, it was a relationship between man & space and how these two come together and form a story!
OCT 15: Supposed to be a celebrative occasion but I wasn’t really excited bout it happening. No, not really in denial that I’m a year older. Just that it suddenly loose it’s meaning for me. Ever since I past 21, Birthdays isn’t really a big a deal to me anymore. Having said that, I’m thankful for the expensive treat my mom gave to all the October babies in the family. Went to Tai Thong Kepong and had a 10 course. Was pretty fun able to karaoke at the same time with all my lovely aunties.
SPA RETREAT: It was paradise! I needed to rejuvenate and regain my original self. As the masseur massage my body, fooyoh, I felt every bone n muscle was returning n rewiring itself to it’s original position. I came out feeling so good and ready to conquer all cause I was pretty exausted with all my responsibilities. Thank God it was a birthday promo, 40% + 20% discount. Saved so much.
GARDEN: We have a garden now outside our house. Dad obtain green fingers lately. His new found hobby. The lawn looks pretty neat but me n my mom have some quilms bout the colour combinations. Oh well, nature has alwayz been my best fren so I wouldn’t complain so much now that we have greenaries at home.
MORE SCRIPTS: Lately, I’ve been exposed to many different scripts form various authors from various times. I think is super awesome that our courses require us to study, read n perform different materials. From Galileo to Murder In The Cathedral to Waiting For Godot to Diaries Of Adam & Eve to writing my very own short scene, I think I’m cultivating a good habit, for a lazy person like me.
LAO JIU: I’m glad the audience loved what our department is doin but most of all, I’m super happy that my parents are beginning to understand what is it I’m actually doing. They themselves never knew going to a theatre performance can be such a fun experience. YAY!
BACK TO STUDENT MODE: Now with all these behind me, I’m definitely moving forward and keeping my eyes focused as a student. Time to meet deadlines and produce interesting n creative works in my various courses. From Stage Directing to Writing to AV Post Production to Modern Theatre to Acting + Directing For Camera, I really wanna push my CGPA a notch higher to try for scholarship! Fingers crossed.
And this wraps up the longest blog enter ever written! PEACE :p
