i play a police inspector. i got the whole gear from the museum - i'm decked in a full on proper Police Inspector's uniform back in 1948! (if i ever get around to taking a picture - i'll post it up...till then...come watch the play! and you'll see me in the uniform for real.)

i gotta say - it's quite spiffy lah. i look like what all those police officers in those Hong Kong gangster movies...walking the streets...look like. except the colour a bit different. i even got my hair cut today just for the play.

what you'll read below is basically a rundown of any questions you may want to ask.

The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac), presents Dato' Syed Alwi's Going North.

The story will bring us back in time to the days of British Malaya, specifically to 1948, when a "state of emergency" was declared to meet the threats of Communist rebels.

At a small town railway station on the west coast, a young university student waits to take the train going north. He encounters an elderly man. In the meeting of a young mind and an old experience, the student is posed to resolve a dilemma.

In the ensuing development, the student loses his perspective and lives through a frantic experience before he can take the train going north.

The story was first written by Dato' Syed Alwi 1949 / 1950 for his school magazine. It was re-written as a stage drama while he was studying in Minneapolis in 1955. Going North has since been produced as a radio play and TV drama. However, this is the premier staging of this original play in English!

Executive Producer & Director: Dato' Faridah Merican

Production Design: Arica Chia
Cast: Fahmi Fadzil, Zaibo, Ari Ratos, Ras Alita Radzi, Ghaz Abu Bakar and Michael Chen
Date: 9 - 11 February 2006 @ 8.30PM , 12 February 2006 @ 3PM Price: RM30 (adults) & RM20 (students, disabled & senior citizens)

tua-ko and ji-ko,

since when got all this '-' business?

so now the family is in on my site. haha. this used to be a very private anonymous thing. but after a long while i started opening it up to more and more friends and now it's become a good way to tell ppl stuff.

although, the vein of the things i tell have to be augmented a little now. :) cis. the perils of being 'known'.


M,

thanks babes.
