(no subject)
I've been busy, too busy in the past few weeks for my liking, but now that everything is over I already feel lacking.
But not for long, though - Dramafeste starts next week, and blocks are just around the corner.

Today during the intermission I was texting my brother who was in the audience, and he said "you are such an approval whore". He prolly meant it jokingly, but I realize that that is the reason why I act: because deep down inside, maybe not so deep down inside, I am an attention whore, as I believe everyone else is. I secretly wish for a Stepford Wives world where everyone nods at what I say and smile encouragingly.
Under Pressure is a fitting last performance, in a way, because it represents everything that drama has stood for to me. The bizarre and fun company, the frazzled nerves two days before production, the thick anxiety in the dark before the show, the insane screaming immediately after the curtains are drawn. Those red velvet curtains have closed once and for all, and I'm glad to have ended on such a beautiful note.
--
This production has been quite unlike any other. From getting upset at people to watching others get upset at people, from not doing full runs two weeks before to singing. I have worked with several people that I thankfully never have to work with again (I hope), but at the end of the day our professional differences are put aside and we (I hope, again) can continue life as per normal.
To Jingwei, my one and only stage partner, even though you are annoying like a pig and also fat like a pig, you are the awesomest, bestest actress I have worked with. No, make that actor :D And you are a great great person, notwithstanding the fact that the only people you want to screw must be hot+rich+big penis. Don't worry la, I'm sure some day the right person will come along, even if he has to come from a poor village in Vietnam. Also right, because of you I am still hurting in my thigh, I hope you do remember that not everyone is short like you, so kneeing people is NOT a good idea especially since it hits the cramp spot.
Next up is Dramafeste, I don't give a shit whether we win or not seriously, I mean it would be nice and a boost to my ego but what I really really want is to put up a piece that combines Melly's talent in scriptwriting, and believe me, it is a beautiful script, with a direction that is both clear and beautiful at the same time. I think I am a better director than I am an actor; my brother kindly attributes this to the fact that I am more comfortable spotting others' mistakes than I am spotting mine own.
It's 5am! :O and I really need to sleep.
