@ work...

here's a list of stuff that will bring me till the end of 2008... overall, i am very pleased with myself and the results (in terms of ka-ching)... so thank you God and all the comrades, colleagues and clients...

1) nov 10-12: tree neighbours (asian civilisation museum)

2) nov 12-15: dunearn secondary (acjc theatre)

3) nov 22/23: river regatta

4) dec 05-21: precious moments (suntec city)

5) dec 31: unconfirmed hosting gig (yes, it's a countdown event)

the week has been interestingly relaxing... i head for rehearsals from 10.15am (odd time is so that we can avoid erp) till 1pm... then come home/gym/swim(like today)... so shiok! this is the kind of life i envisioned to have when i became a freelance artiste... haha

so do i love my work? yes, but i love the flexibility and the freedom more...

okay, i'm off to the pool and then later tonight, it's the final fitting for the tiong bahru plaza fashion show... yes FINAL!!! *evil laugh*

help needed...

here's a list of things that i have to do some time soon...

1) send the car to workshop to get the (&^@&#^ repanelling done so that i can send it to the vehicle inspection after AND then i can renew my auto insurance and pay my road tax...

2) find a day when i am (a) free (b) bored to bits and make my way down to wherever that place is and get my identity card replaced. i feel like a stowaway without my id... haha...

3) go shopping... with the recent influx of cheques (thanks i theatre, belinda, anderson junior college, etc), i have my eyes set on a zara jacket and a pair of boots from river island... i left my running shoes at kallang... if they are not there next sunday, then i need a new pair of cross trainers too...

4) email teachers about year end programmes and schedule for next year... better settle all these early before they go on holiday...

5) try and take over the world

6) plan my birthday

maybe i should really hire a personal assistant... hmm...

i have migrated...

okay people, rainbow fish is now history... so no more fishy tales...

the next production is tree neighbours, a puppet show for children but tickets are not open to the public... the team looks quite fun but i think we have a lot of work ahead of us. rehearsals have started and everyday it's just been lots of finger exercises...

on a different note, river regatta is about a month away... so lately, i've been steeping up on training too... so if anyone wants to hit the gym or go running, just holler!

tata for now...

b.s. for the month: moisturize, moisturize and moisturize. that will include face, body, hair and lips!

fishy tales... the tail end...

another couple of days and i would have completed 61 shows for rainbow fish...

overall, it has been a great experience... working with friends and making new ones... the moments that we have created on stage were truly magical and will be engraved in my mind for a very long time to come...

at this point, it is truly a bittersweet feeling... i want it to end cos we are all tired... for it to continue will be great cos we really have a lot of fun together... but i'm sure our paths will cross again...

btw, catch the wacky bunch at st james powerhouse this friday as we celebrate the end of a sellout season!

moving up and on...

my stay in seaweedy deep will last another two weeks. the run has been fulfilling thus far. we had our ups, our downs, our good and our bad but i guess the entire team has stuck together thus far. the current run of rainbow fish has definitely broken all previous records in more ways than one... let's just say that i am very honoured to be working alongside the people i have on the team...

from the sea, i will move on to the runway. the fashion show assignment is slowly taking shape... next weekend will kickstart everything... fingers crossed...

i also just said yes to another show... this one is running from 10th to 12th nov... a puppet show this time round... more details once i start rehearsals...

fishy tales... staying afloat

okay... i technically should be in bed by now since i need to awake at 6am to prepare for shows tomorrow... but i cannot resist dropping a couple of lines before i sleep...

rainbow fish opened on monday... we've done 18 shows so far... another 43 to go... my voice is gone, i'm down with flu... fingers crossed that i will feel much better tomorrow... i just need to survive through the week... things will get better i hope...

on the side, my off day was hardly a break. had to consolidate materials for a couple of talks and then there were a few business calls to handle. also had a few new show bookings coming in... me is tired tired TIRED!

i want a holiday!

fishy tales... v-power!

working on rainbow fish has definitely been a blast... it's a fun team and we are all settling in quite nicely... yes, it's just day three but everyone's pretty bored... the fooling around onstage has begun... that's a good sign... i'm starting to fool around with my makeup too... haha...

by the way... v stands for violet!
