Going North is done.

i don't really have much to say. except that all things considered, it was a pretty decent run. and the fact that 2 out of 4 days were sold out whilst the other 2 days showed about 100 (+ -) says a lot. it says that people are interested to watch local stories and with the right treatment - local stories in M'sian Theatre that are more than just family dramas or comedies can also have a chance to 'fly' in M'sian Theatre.

as for myself, i really loved the fact that i got to work with the likes of Zaibo, Fahmi Fadzil, Ras Alita, Ari Ratos, and my fellow newcomer - Ghaz. plus being in a play directed by Faridah with the help of Joe and the play itself being written by Syed Alwi himself ... has been an honour.

now it is back to LAW. as much i hate to say it...i'm more behind than i'd like to be and truth be told - i'm a little worried but i'll soldier on nevertheless ... fueled by the fact that once i'm done - i'm done.

what happens after that? well, i'll deal with it later. as is, i have been given some offers to be in more 'theatre' after my exams. hopefully that works out. i've even been given a chance to audition at NTv7 - my luck with TV never good - but we'll see whether things change this time around.

now, FYI, i was supposed to be in another play called "The Homecoming" - i would have played 'Joey' who apparently is the youngest, the stud, the guy who - in Lenny's (another character in the play) words, "has had more dolly than you've had cream cakes...." in other words...quite the player 'lah' *grin. 'Joey' works in construction during the day and trains to be a boxer at night. the play revolves around a family that is f**ked up. this role...was written...for me. *grin.

alas...priorities speak louder. and i shall join the rest of the drones and do law...

go to thehomecomingdiaries.blogspot.com to read about the play i *could* have been in. keep visiting the site and leave comments if you'd like. and of course...go watch the play. :)

it will be staged:

March 24 - April 2nd @ Pentas 2, Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre,Sentul Park, Jalan Strachan
