fishy tales... the swimming continues

it's been a five week rehearsal process. we are finally opening tomorrow...

61 shows... 18,000 tickets... sold out show...

in the dressing room, tensions are high... but we should do all right... i am so glad that i have my longtime friends on the team... who would have imagined after more than a decade that we would all end up in the same industry, in the same production...

time to grab dinner... shower and then sleep...

don't be late...

in theatre, timing is very important. early or late entries can severely affect the outcome of a scene, throw other actors off and even possibly spoil the entire production.

in life, timing is even more important. people always exclaim that it's better to be late than never but at times, being late is almost as good as being never. it's all too late...

anyway, i'm just rambling... here's another BS to reward you loyal readers: when applying eye gel/cream, use the tip of your ring fingers... reason? the ring finger is the least used of all our fingers hence there are less fine lines and wrinkles on their tips. hence the application will be smoother and more even...

fishy tales...

1) rainbow fish is so sold out that we have only 100 tickets left... 15000 tickets sold... i think this is what we call a sellout show... yippee!!! it's motivation to work even harder...

2) had our preview this morning. it went surprisingly well. nothing major to work on... so goodie... violet is very pleased with what he's done...

3) i'm just wondering if my skin will be in tiptop condition considering that my makeup goes over a layer of peel-off masque. so technically i am (a) doing a masque almost daily (b) exfoliating daily... haha... but not posting up any pictures as yet... won't want to spoil the fun!

everything is really falling into place with regards to the production. me is very happy. rainbow fish is definitely a highlight to my 2008.

fair or not?

i was walking back to jurong east mrt station last saturday when i heard a little girl ask her mother... mummy, is it fair that nice people wear ugly clothes and ugly people wear nice clothes? my initial reaction was... i hope i'm neither...

well... life is fair i guess... you can't have the best of everything... born ugly, dress well... born gorgeous but lousy fashion sense... in that sense, we will always have our strengths and weakness... spots where we just don't match up. question is, what are we going to do about it?

routine update

life for the past couple of days has been pretty routine...

wake up by 7am... do vocal warm-up while showering... be at rehearsals by 9am...

rehearse rehearse until 1 or 2pm... go off for teaching, drama classes or my workshops...

head to the nearest or most convenient fastfood place... grab dinner and head home...

check email... answer email... chat on msn... shower... sleep...

not very exciting but it's going to be like that for the coming week as well... energy is at a new low cos the rehearsal process for rainbow fish is no walk in the park... would i still do it if i could choose all over again? definitely! i must say i have been blessed to have the current team, we get along pretty well... we are not the best of friends but we work well together... that is enough for me...

united we stand...

in case you are a stalker and would like to track my movement this weekend... i'll be at united square... doing the rainbow preview on sat from 12pm - 1pm... then there's a possible hosting thing to do too... kaching!

strange how i have no qualms dealing directly with mall management... guess once you get stabbed in the back, you really throw loyalty out the window huh?

so yar... come by united square. bring along a caramel macchiato though! haha...

by the way... next off day: 8th sep! rainbow fish would have ran for a week by then...
