So, lotsa photos uh?
We all like to be in the limelight.
Heh, they are ALL fun people.
Let me reminisce their unforgettable lines in the play.......
Prakash....
"I wake up at 3.30am to come to work. So what kind of a dog I am?"
Rodney...
"No budget! I'm killing all the leads and that's it! Better than the Return of the Vadai!"
Sani...
"...Keling?! Who call me keling?! One more time, you call me keling.. I *beep* your father..*beep* your mother!"
Subra...
" Thank god I married an actress!"
Vishnu...
"But I'm supposed to be mute! I can't talk!"
Vicknesvari...
"What? What price? You asking for my price? How dare you!"
These lines were unforgettable.
I really miss them, miss the play, miss everything else.
Ah, I can't wait for part 2 - which will be held at Esplanade??
Hopefully.
I miss you all!

Erm, wait a minute....
I skipped school today!
Hahaha!
My bad, but I was too tired.
After a huge family celebration last night, I'm dead beat now.
Tired and tired.
Was drunk, so I couldn't be bothered to clear the mess on my bed -
those mess left behind by all the make-up blah.
So I just pulled my mattress bed under my bed and plonked on it.
Can't be bothered...
Had an awesome night, so great.
So high till I got drunk.
Haha...
I know it's wrong to skip school... yada yada yada....
But seriously I'm not in the mood for school!
Who will after a night of heavy partying?
Haha!
I'll post some photographs once ready.
Hope school's fun for everyone so far -
sigh, back to housework!

You made us damn jealous with the photographs you've taken.
You better roll back, soon.

It's time to talk about this play.
With just two weeks before the play kicks off at The Substation,
publicity sets in and people are starting to know this play.
But wait, this play is getting a kind of publicity which is not what we expected.
If you have read yesterday's TNP or Tamil Murasu,
you probably have seen the articles about this play.
Or rather, articles about the controversy of the the play.
There's something I don't understand.
We are living in a multi-racial community -
we live together.
"Keling Kia" is just a term to describe the Indians.
And I'm sure there are other terms to describe the Chinese, Malays, or even the Eurasians.
Ah, that one I know.
We call Eurasians "Ang Moh",
though they aren't literally red-haired.
What's more, it's a "Keling Kia" writing this, so-called racist to some, play!
So where's the controversy?
A "Keling Kia" writing a "Keling Kia" play for the "Keling Kias" and ended up being called a racist?
I'm talking about this here not just because I'm part of the play too.
It's because of how disappointed I am with the media.
I've seen enough dark side of the media and I think it's enough.
(Though it's never enough)
Where's the media ethics?
What's all the f*** we've learnt?
Life! today has an article about this too.
Go read it if you can.
Tell me how you feel and blah here.
And, with one more week of ITP,
I sure gonna miss the people there.
I wonder if it's because Manoj's there or time really flies.
Whichever so, I'm having a good time.
Enjoy the nice weekend - for I will too.

For the whole morning,
everyone (well, almost) was in a frantic trying to find out what's their new class and who's their new classmates.
Mine: T301 for Media Law.
I know a few people who's my class already.
Which is something to be happy about.
And of course, there are things to be sad about too.
Oh, I can't believe this.
ITP's ending in about 1 and a half weeks' time.
Which means, school shall start soon.
Haha. After all the countdown and shit, are we all really ready for school?
My gawd.
I'm at work now.
Alone in the office, handling the, eh, leaking fountain.
It's wet around the fountain lah.
Nearly slipped and fell. Tsk.
Just had lunch with Manoj.
He brought me to this Nasi Briyani place.
Very sedap, very SPICY.
Haha.
Okay, I'm sad and happy.
You know what I mean.
One can never ask for perfection.

Okay, i'm soooo sooo sooo dead now.
My laptop died on me!
Gawd, i can't believe it.
I really can't.
i think it overworked.
it said, "FAN ERROR" and i don't know what the shit is that!
I can't believe this -
I can't live w/o my laptop.
Damn it. And my home PC is down too.
DAMN.
Just as you are wondering why I can type this,
I'm now at my cousin's place -
checking what time Mel will open tmr.
BUT NO! HELL NO!
Mel decided to go ahead with the 5 day work week.
Shit.
And I'm here, finding an outlet for my frustration and exasperation.
At the same time, I'm informing you guys that I'll be MIA for the weekend.
Oh shit.
////////////!@%^%&%&#^$@)Q%^(#%^%/////////////
Pardon me for spewing the bad words, if you call that that.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!
Bye.

YES! Manoj dropped by.
Heh, it was so fun today.
So crowded, and so "noisy".
Kavitah drove me out for a ride -
to MediaCorp when she went to return the props.
And you know what?
I finally understood the sense of work achievement.
I FINALLY GOT A FOOD SPONSOR!
Oh my gawd, that minutes of waiting could really kill me.
And you should have seen Kavitah's expression, anxiousness...
and Vadi's joy.
Oh my.
Time is running out -
and my next task at hand is to sell the tickets.
AS MANY AS POSSIBLE!
Haha, but again, the play is going to be a good one.
So go watch it.
Really!
It's on the 27th, 28th and 29th of May.
Student concession is $15.
So get your friends and your ass down to watch this funny yet meaningful play!
Haha, too much advertising.
Oops.
Anyway, Norehan the make up artiste came by today.
She returned Naresh's frame -
and I "played" with it.....

Dan, Dowell and whoever else who came back from Cambodia!
Hope you guys brought back a bag of experience, joy and lessons in life. =)
People, I had sucha good time during the long weekend,
I don't feel like going back to work, really.
Shall I show you my lil' nephew, Xu Kai?
Look at his HAIR! OMG.
Charming.
Lovely.
He's really so pretty, yeah.
My brother-in-law's so anxious over him.
Gawd, he's the new darling of everyone now.
I had my fair share of family fun, friends outing, chill-out, and tan.
YES!!! I WENT TANNING!
You can't believe HOW TANNED I am now.
I hope it can last till school starts.
My back is so hot and red now.
So burnt.
Work today was quite fun.
I dropped by Fuchun to look for Mr B.
He knows Mr Vadi!
Hahaha, and he intends to watch the play.
Isn't that great?
Oh, lovely.
I got my pay today.
Cool, I'm finally not broke.
Heh, and I got a good boss.
Really. He gave me more than what quoted.
So nice right? =)
I chose my IS modules already.
Effective Negotiation from 10 to 12.
Same as mine?
Hee, thanks Boss.
The internet at work was quite screwed up this morning.
Adding to it, I had to go out to do publicity.
Thus, Boss helped me out.
Thanks Boss.
I shall marry myself to you. =)
