It has been awhile since a post went up. Reason being, we're all pretty swamped with work. It's the final two weeks before three. hits the stage and honestly, it's pretty nerve-wrecking. Full run begins tomorrow and even then, we might still need to rework some scenes beforehand. I can almost feel my heart in my throat as I'm typing this. It's an intense 3 1/2 month process which is almost coming to it's end. I'm certain though, that it will turn out great.
We've got a lot of support from family and friends all round. And everyone's looking forward to this. So, let's make them proud, everyone! We can do it. Just pull through the last two weeks of rehearsals. Then, set the sail down, and smoothly thread the waters of the stage for another two. Then, we are done!
*Speaking of which, I still have not planned the cast party. Whoops! Lol.
Cheers!

Promo for three. and other updates
Hey all,
There might be a promo done for three. sometime soon. So keep a look out on your Astro channels.
Anyway, a short update on rehearsals and whatnots. Things have been going on okay, as usual. Scene changes, alterations on the music and costume picking is being done right about now. It's getting closer and closer to THE DAY though and well, I think it's gonna be a show to remember. Let's knock the socks off of them, guys.

Having 'unagi'...
Aww...I didn't want you to feel lonely here in cyberspace, Helena... I really wasn't afraid you'd fire me. Really. Hahaha...
Honestly, Helena is one of the nicest, if not THE nicest, directors I've ever worked with. I am NOT sucking up! I don't need to...haha... You know you'd never fire me...you know you need me around. *grin* But ok, seriously, Helena believes in nurturing and drawing out what she needs from her actors, not in provoking it out of them. And it is so nice for me to work this way for a change, which is similar to my own beliefs though I'm probably not as nice as her. Hehe... However, no-one has heard me yell yet. And hopefully, I won't ever need to. :)
Well Helena, my partner-in-crime, the one with which I totally have 'unagi' with, here's to our collaboration together. Don't worry too much about the challenges. If we always had things easy, we wouldn't be able to fully appreciate what we achieve. Isn't that right? :)

Finally!
Woah, I'm happy now. I'm not alone. Kerry-Ann has joined me. Btw, Kerry-Ann, I said I'd fire you if you didn't. Lol. Just kidding.
But hey, keep posting people. I don't want to be the only one doing it cuz it feels like I'm blowing my own trumpet, which I really am not.
Anyway, keep it up guys. Yes, challenges have come to haunt us, but we shall pull through it in a team. And a very strong team we are. So, come what may! We shall stand firm to our ground and push forward to a great show.
Cheers!

Bending, not breaking...
So...this is my first attempt at posting something on this blog. I have duly been threatened by the director to post something or be fined... or was it be fired? I didn't quite catch that, Helena...haha... Anyways, apart from the fact that I'm juggling two jobs as well as the 'Three.' rehearsals and haven't had much time to post anything, I also just really didn't know what to talk about. So let's see what thoughts come out of my brain, yeah?
Well, it's about a month till we open. Kinda scary when you think about it. How are we doing? Sometimes it's kinda hard to say. Every time we make progress, we also slip back a couple of steps. I suppose that that's normal in every kind of process. But as we go deeper into this, tempers are beginning to flare as hidden dissatisfactions come to the surface. Again, it's quite a normal thing when a group of people work closely together. We don't all have to like each other when we work together, but just because tempers fly doesn't mean we all hate each other either. It isn't healthy to keep our dissatisfactions in. However, if we release our feelings, we have to be careful that what escapes our mouths is not something we'll regret because it can never really be taken back.
My point in saying this is not to reveal any cracks or imperfections in our little group or process. My point is that we are A GROUP. Yes, we are also individuals within the group and bringing our individuality to the group is important. But ultimately, we have to find a way to bring the best of what we each have for the importance of the group. There isn't anyone who is more important than the other. We fit like parts of a machine. Without one, the rest of the machine wouldn't work. Only then will everyone be able to shine in their own way. If everyone only works to ensure that they alone shine more, the whole piece will not gel and only the reverse will happen for them.
However, this process isn't really necessarily a bad thing. Learning to work together builds us. Possibly, it could bond us further. Wishful thinking? Maybe. But it's about learning to bend. Not so much that we break, but enough that we can be flexible enough to grow.
So, here's to hoping that we grow together well and we will be able to leave this with an end result that we are truly proud of.

Rehearsal Pics
These are some pictures taken during one of our rehearsals. It's mostly tableau work (still pictures).
I wonder what they are all looking at, actually.
It's Kermit, the frog.
How long do you think Wai Hoong can hold that position?
A picture from one of our scenes.
The band, with "Sasha"/Nick looking extremely serious.

Post! Not Comment!
Dear all,
What I mean by asking you guys to post up stuff, I mean, ACTUALLY POSTING UP A BLOG ENTRY. NOT A COMMENT. Click on create new post. It's pretty simple.
Ps. Lorna, it's cuz I'm running out of things to say. That's why I'm starting to talk rubbish. And stop jumping like me.

One more month
There's just one more month till show week. Days seem to be passing by like the blinking of an eye. Rehearsal days should be increasing soon and everyone should be on their toes till the end of the run so I hope that all goes well and everyone keeps their cool for now.
Anyway, to all you people out there who aren't in the production, but still read this blog, please come to the show, yeah? It'll be great if we have your support. Trust me, we need it. A lot. Lol.
Well, that's my two cents for today.
Cheers.
