I’m In!!

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Well yesterday was a real crappy day cause (I’m still sick by the way), but I got a call this morning that really really perked me up. It was bout 9 plus in the morning and I was still trying to get some rest. I got a call from a number that I did not know but answered anyway. The minute the other person on the phone spoke, I recognised that voice and my breath held for a moment as I sat up straight in bed. It was Faridah Merican’s voice, and she was going to give me the news on the I had absolute . Drum roll please…**just a small one**

I MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so ecstatic to hear I made it! I made it into a local theatre production! Yes yes yes! Can you see my glee, I was jumping up and down just to hear that I made it into the ensemble. Hey! ensemble is great right now, as I’m just starting, but out of over 50 people I made in to the 20 performers they needed for the show. To give the icing on the cake, she said I was ‘impressive’ that day….Oh the joy to hear something like from someone like Faridah. Makes you feel like you can do anything, but most of all makes me want to work harder!

This means that, I shall have no life except rehearsal life up to the show date which is August. Rehearsals start as of May 5th and I should be getting the schedule soon!

Back From The Audition

The jitterbug feeling died off when I got there. Thank You Lord! I must say it was a mad Monday, but I think it was all worthwhile, even more so to see long ago friends, catching up with them and even better to see their faces there was a great comfort. I can’t tell you how, really really encouraging it is to see people whom you can either click with or other people who share the same passion as you. It’s completely like another life altogether and it’s such a wonderful joy. To be able to this works, with your friends. Ahhh! ^_^ Being there at KLPAC for the Ismail audition.. I don’t know what it was but it really felt like an audition from a movie like “Fame” or something. It really did! Perhaps it was the crowd (which was a lot of people, think about 50 over). Perhaps it’s the ambiance that KLPAC has, which just breathes the performing arts/theatre or whatever it is. Perhaps it’s because where I was standing were really with people who wanted this as much as I did…well at least some of them anyway.

All the people auditioning for Ismail at KLPAC

I\'m trying not to freak out

Isma is getting to her happy place

Min Li Says Cheese

But I’m glad that the audition went well overall. I’m glad to at least have gotten a callback from the first one, I’m glad to have seen some ol friends and new ones there. Best of all-for me anyways- I finally got to give a go at contemporary dancing for the audition. Which was what we had to do, maybe if I’m inspired enough I’ll make a video on just the steps the fantastic dancer/choreographer Aris Kadir from the show Passion, who happened to be our dance director just now and the previous audition sessions. I thoroughly enjoyed it and even if I don’t make it, I’m glad I was able to dance that short choreography. Oh the joy I have when I am able to dance… pure ecstasy ^_^ See me smile. It wasn’t so scary this time round and maybe that was because we were doing it as a group and not all eyes were on you. Whatever the outcome, It was a fun experience and it makes your eyes open up more  to realise… that it’s though and you have to really show what you got to give. It’s only one chance and that’s it. All the best to everyone else at the auditions. Hope that we get to work with one another soon. ^_^
