Those two things don't usually end up in the same sentence,let alone the same room.But tonight was an exception,cause Shouchen was part of the "Poetic Licence" ensemble.And hey!Whaddya know?I did enjoy it,though certain parts made me turn to Nick with one raised eyebrow and go "huh?"

It was interesting to see Pierre act as well.hur hur.Always seen him more as a singer,not an actor.Who knew he was so all-rounded?(he does have a nice tushy by the way)

Anyway,going to JB tomorrow evening and coming back Fri evening.So technically I'm going into JB for a day.Better than nothing I guess.

Shou Chen Shou Chen Shou Chen...Since he can't see my blog (complains that my tagboard is right smack in the middle of the screen cause his Mac isn't suitable with my blog format),I get to blog more about him.He's so................good!He can sing,he can act(he can fucking act) and he can dance.(yes,he has a one left and one right foot,not two left feet.) He's pure,fucking raw talent.I'm just amazed everytime I see him get into character,no matter how insignificant his role is.I just admire these people.

I'm becoming so arty farty,it's kinda scaring me.

Spent the afternoon in gorging myself with food that I have been avoiding to preserve my voice i.e Chocolates,chips etc and indulging in a "Sex in the City" marathon,proudly sponsored by Ju's DVDs.hurhur.

Joe was mucking about in my mum's room...

This is Joe when we first found him...

See how small he was?*sigh*

Mia's gone,Sara's back.
LOST IN TRANSIT is finally over,but the emotion coursing through me right now isn't exactly elation,it's just...sadness.

Sounds crazy but I'd rather this production be shown later and have more time to rehearse,not only to perfect it,but to spend more time with the amazing people and friends I've made.Come on,I CRIED thinking about it in the shower.I cried man.I never realised how emotionally attached I have grown to the LIT cast.

But in any case,tonight's show was magical.As Adrian always says,the audience and the adrenaline you get from performing in front of one makes the performance completely different from rehearsals.

Funny thing,I actually had a lot more to blog about 5 mins ago,but sitting here and just typing this now is making me think that what I need isn't a chronologically detailed "release" of/from the show,it's reflecting,taking a moment to think what I've learnt and earned from this musical.
I've learned how to act,how to move on stage,how to make every blink of an eyelid or wiggle of a toe look like it's part of your character.I could never have done this within a month without Adrian and Shou Chen.Especially Adrian.He's a miracle worker,he just manages to do the impossible.I mean,look at LIT.I believe I speak on behalf of everyone else when I say that I'd never have imagined the show to be half as good about a month ago.But seeing what he's done with it is just...WOW.
I'm gonna miss supping with everyone,being slave-driven by mr director,rushing from home to rehearsals.I'm gonna miss everything about it.

And ZIHAN...OMG.I can't believe you sold your Royal Ballet tickets to come watch our show.Your dedication and involvement is just admirable,I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Well,I could write a lot more,but this pretty much sums everything up.
ADRIAN,PAM,ZIHAN,SHOUCHEN,WINDSON,ERWIN,MARCUS,SALLY,STELLA AND MY BABY.=)

I love you all.

Emotionally drained.
That's what I'm feeling right now.
How do actors do it for a living??It's absolutely insane.
Adrian,Windson and I spent a good 30 mins trying to get the emotions out for a certain scene which had to result in me crying.OMG...
Firstly,I'm not an actor,in fact I'm quite a lousy one at that.So trying to make me succumb to an emotion that I am still trying to muster and show in my "acting" (that's how bad it is,I have to put it in inverted commas) is like smelling Ju's pits and still surviving after that.
I did cry in the end,twice somemore.Don't pray pray ah,I'm getting quite good at this thing called DRAMA.hurhur.
42 more hours to the show.
God help me.
Please.

This is the only thing that's getting me through everything.

Give me a break,I get to be mushy once in a while.

2 more days to showtime.
I hope we're ready.I hope I'M ready.
But I'll never forget this experience,having made so many new and good friends.

Thank you for making this experience so special for me.=)

Lost In Transit has taken my life away from me.

But I'm loving every moment of it,it's like a dream come true.

Anyway,school results are out!

Quite happy with how I've done,think I could've done better though.

Oh well,poor Ju's still suffering from jetlag.

Lotus and Tian,I'm so sorry I can't make it to your parties.

SOB.

How cool is that??

Anyway,Juich and Jonch are home!!!

YAY!

RUNNING.

That's all I've been doing for the past few days.Running around trying to complete everything in my agenda.

I need a life.

But oh heck,a Girls' Night Out was all I needed to cheer me up!

Was supposed to meet Goy,Ker,Yan and her darling CJ at 7pm at Orchard MRT,but AS USUAL...everyone was LATE,and I was the EARLIEST.heh

Bumped in to Peggy Pooga at Wheelock just before the others arrived.She's so cute.Jas couldn't come cause she had driving. =(

I think everyone at Sakae Sushi wanted to kick us out cause of the noise we were making.We were talking about secondary school days and the "happenings" then,and we were all rolling around laughing,creating quite a ruckus,despite the fact that everyone was so tired.But heck,it was so fun.And as Ker put it,"that was only lower sec.haven't even reached upper sec yet."

It's amazing how we've been friends since we were 13,and now,6 years on,we're all pursuing our dreams,even turning 20 next year.I have the best group of girlfriends and I could never have asked for better. =)

Why can't we live like we used to?

I need closure.

UGH.

Too many things to cram into one entry.

I passed my advanced theory!!In 1 take!!!Can you believe it?!Geez...when I touched the "end of test" icon on the LCD touchscreen,I was like "shit...I bet I'm gonna fail...".But I passed!!!Thank GOD!!!

So that aside,been rushing like hell to get all the arrangements done for the musical.What did I get myself into??I'm no professional,I've never even taken proper lessons on arranging music!I'm just doing everything from my knowledge of music!Lucky Ollie's helping me,if not I would have just collapsed and died a month ago.

Meeting the girlies for dinner tonight...yay.=) Convinced Ker to pon training to have dinner with us.HAHA!Sorry darling...

Oh Oh!And last night at IndoChine was amazing...Michelle called me up last week and asked me if I could fill in for her cause she was busy,so I said no problem.And I don't know why,but I don't recall her saying "it's the one at BOAT QUAY,not clarke quay.BOAT QUAY." But I went ahead and told Mark to drive to the one at Clarke Quay.Geez.We were driving around and around and around looking for ACM...But oh well,it was so nice getting to sing with Daniel again,and I met the bassist Brandon yesterday,who reminded me a hell of a lot of Wei Xiang.

Got approached by the lady who asked for an encore during our last set.She asked me if I teach singing,and I said I would like to,but I'm not free to arrange anything at the moment.Then she gave me her name card and asked me to call her when I'm ready to take in students.I'm gonna be biased and start giving her lessons as soon as I'm free.DAMN she's hot......even Ollie and Mark were like "woooooaaaaah....." after I said bye to her and we left.Sufus the Dufus and Jen were mucking about (as usual),so they probably didn't notice.

Oh well,that's all for now I guess.

Tian,menage trois?*wiggles eyebrows*

hur hur.

Okay,that sounds wrong.But you have to understand,the people I hang out with are 99.9% guys.Like Suf,Mark,Marcus,Brad etc...Not that I don't like chilling with them,it's just that,I need that little bit of girliness in my life,ya know?Lucky Jeanna's there with me now.heh

I'm looking forward to meeting up with Goy again next week!Meeting up with her for dinner and stuff,plus she owes me my bikini.Big time.HAHA!Haven't seen Yan in a loooooooooooong time though,gotta call her soon,or she'll severe ties with me forever.haha

Dinner with Shan on tues night was fun.We went to Fish & Co. at Novena Square,and one of the waitresses called out his name just as we were leaving.She wanted Shan to take a picture with her (why would she be carrying a polaroid cam around?) and he obliged.The show has made him look like such a horrible,obnoxious,stuck-up guy,when in actual fact he's such a sweetheart.And I'm not saying that just because he's my cousin.He's been living on the other side of the world for the past 18 years of my life,but even then,I connect with him as if we've been interacting all our lives.I guess it's cause we're cousins.You'll always be good with family,yeah?

And CONGRATS TO SUFFY WUFFY!!!I'm so proud of you!!We'll come watch on sunday,I promise.We'll be your crew babe!Haha!I'll make Ollie wear a do-rag and bling shit.
