Time ends, memories last forever...

Close your eyes and open your heart,
Come see the world the way I do,
Sing the songs a thousand times,
Let the words imprint themselves in you.

Don't shy away from the new life created,
Embrace the changes with an open mind,
Try to feel the winds that blow,
For once they're gone only memories remain.

Sometimes we try to rush through life,
Assuming time is never ending,
And what we fail to remember in our lives,
Is that like everything else time will come to an end.

So why can't we not take a moment,
A single second in our fast flowing lives,
To close our eyes and open our hearts,
While our memories flicker through like images.

Remember that what we do in our lives,
Defines the person we are and become,
Every situation that we find ourselves in,
Are results of choices that we all made.

It is not difficult to revel in the joy of what we have achieved,
It is harder to let go of those memories that we have built,
Let every event that occurs to you,
Be a significant change in your ending life.

Let every person who has come near you,
Touch your soul so that you may grow,
Let every voice you have heard,
Be a part of your memories forever.

Let this musical share a tiny space,
Just a single spot in your mind and heart,
Let the people and all its fantasies,
Hold a place in your treasured dreams.

For when you sleep now and awake a decade later,
You would have changed and so would have the world,
But the one thing time can never take away from you,
Is the memories that have been engraved onto your soul.

AFT AWARDS

Please Take Note.

a) Dates:

The AFT awards are going to be held real soon. The possible dates as of now are the 10th (Friday), 11th (Saturday) or 12th (Sunday) of April or anything thereafter.

The reason why we didn't hold it the week right after the musical is because every single one of us wanted to go down and support Anaz in his performance (Btw Anaz, you were really on fire : ) )

Also, the AFT awards cannot be held this week because of a few reasons...
1) The funding for this dinner is on hold due to the closure of the CC's financial year.
2) The closing of the musical's finances. It is important that Janise and I finish off the accounts for this first before opening up a new budget.
3) It is too much of a rush to have the event this week as it would be a haphazard job due to the trophies not having been printed yet and the awardees not decided upon.
4) The Chalet.

I understand from Andrew and Lex that some of you'll will be entering NS before 10 April. Please post at the tagboard if that's the case then we'll have to work something out.

If not, we'll stick to next week.

So, take a look at the poll on the right side of the blog's page and vote for the date that you prefer. This poll will only be open for two days so please vote as soon as possible.

I have to submit a proposal for this dinner and the faster it is submitted the better.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, To aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like Godsent and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.


Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.


p.s. somehow i feel tat our relationship is meant to last a lifetime...

Loads of LOVES...

ISAbelle aka SpiDeR!!!

Through her Eyes

As i stepped back into the theater with yoga and nathan, i found myself a seat all the way behind, the last row near the control room,near nathan's and thana's fortress.

i looked at the stage,where people were clearing up the props and sets.

and i kept on looking.and looking.and slowly, my eyes closed, and my mind went back to july 2008.

i leaned back against the soft velvet chair and sighed.
memories begun to swirl around me.
for that moment i wasn't at RP.
i was at my first day.

i was taken back to the sembawang bus interchange,waiting for parms cause i had no idea where jelutong cc was.
as she and i walked to the cc, which i now just can't do without, i walked into the theatrette.there were only four of us - saras, praba, parms and me. that was the first time i met praba.
little did i know, how much emotions that theatrette would hold.

a while later saras gave me the script. i flipped the pages and came across the page that was titled "Act 2 Scene 3".
and i saw the two words that would change my life forever - Big Mama.
Leader of a crew of 8 strong individuals who dare to stand up for what they believe in.

Moments later, shanty and kesavan came.
A tall guy with white long sleeves and 3/4 pants walked in,wearing shades.(at that moment i did feel that the shades had to die but what the heck).
at the first thing he said,looking at me was "and who is this?", in the most Jet - like tone ever.
i got up,smiled, shook his hands and said "hey, i'm suady"
and he said " hey you, i'm yoga".

within minutes, we all were taking pictures of ourselves,making fun of one another, laughing and joking about.
my mind swirled again, i moved forward to a day, a month or two later.

i walked into the theatrette, and saras came running to me and said "Your first two misfits are here!!".
with a huge grin on my face, i ran in and saw them.they were both sitting on the stage, very quiet, and as i saw both of them, something inside me told me that i was going to love them with all my life.
and that they were not going to be any quiet*grinz*
i loved their style, their personality, their character instantly.
and there was something about her that was just so.....like me.
i did my lines with them, and that day,
Spider and Bling came to life.

My mind swirled,to the day i walked up to the dance studio where i first met Lex and Prasad.
Mustafa came in, and no one was more happier than me when i knew that Stink was him.
that day was the last day, where ny final 4 misfitz came in.
Worm,Mole and Oz.
Digger was late.haha.

and i finally had my whole crew.

i looked at them, and my mind started asking questions.
"would i be their leader, the one they would look up to, the one who would look after them like one of her own, would i inspire and lead them?"
i never had the answers.
we never bonded at first.there were so much problems.
it seemed impossible.
but all my heart told me was, "whatever happens, don't give up on them.cause they WILL become more than what they are today, and they are worth it".

i remember the day Saras sent the misfitz out of the theatrette cause we totally screwed up our scene.
that day, one other person walked out with us.
he spoke, and with every word, i felt our hope rise.
we were bursting with ideas, with so much energy.
he was our spark.
when we went in back there, we made a statement.
a standard was set.the misfitz united.
Saras saw the scene,turned to him and said "Good job Nathan".
He beamed with pride.
that was just the start.

Mind swirled again, to the hardcourt.
Physical training was the most straining ones ever.
when it finally ended, i cried.
yoga and isabelle squeezed me tight and cried with me.
that was the day the "Suagabelles" were born.

Flashes of the journey came in my mind.

The week where Yoga,Isabelle,Anaz and i would go down for press release practice before judgement day.
before that week, at the theatrette, a young man sat on the stage, with a white hoodie, staring into blank space.
they told me that he was going to be in the cast.
and i asked yoga, "can he dance?"
yoga stared back at me.
that's when i met the King of House.

i saw her groove, and i loved it.
little did nicole know that she would inspire me to want to do groove in the near future.
he pushed me on when i needed hope,
and andrew had no idea how much it helped.

another tall guy came into the musical before i left for South Africa.
i didn't think that he would turn crazy.
but Thana eventually did - and brought joy along with it.

he came in and gave us his opinion,
cause he knew we were capable of something much better than what we were doing.
and yes Collin,u were right.

she designed and made that dress,
the one i wore for my finale.she believed i would pull it off.
that gown made me look different,and brought out another side of me.
how would i ever thank Kanitha for that.

we came in as ordinary people.
and now, my misfitz are all dancers.
the star that moulded us and never lost faith in us.
Prasad - u have no idea.

she came to me and told me, "i'm doing a musical , do u want the role of Big Mama?"
i never knew the word "yes" would bring to where i am now.
saras, what would i have done without you.

my mind swirled yet again and stopped at a point.
i told yoga "i want to quit. i can't do this"
he spoke. i listened.
i never gave up after that.

i could go on about how much everyone has done something for me.i really could go on thinking.

i thought about all the things we all went through.
but the one that really hit me were my misfitz.

i saw them grow, mature and learn.
i saw them from the beginning till yesterday.
i saw the transition.

my eyes opened and i felt tears stinging my eyes.
i stared on right through at the stage where most of the props had already been cleared out.
through thick and thin, till the very end we had disagreements and all.
but we gave in, forgave and forgot.
all 7 of them came to my mind, and i told my heart - "u have never been more right before"

as i blinked and kept staring right ahead,my vision of the stage became clear.
my mind stopped swirling.
i had a smile.
and i beamed.

i could never be any more prouder than i am right now,misfitz.
i love you all so much.


to everyone in this musical.

i want to apologize if i had hurt anyone here.
and i want to say that i am so proud to be part of something as amazing as this.
every single one of you are awesome, and have touched me in one way or another.
and i want to thank u for that.
i will not say bye, because i believe that we are in control of what we end.
and we will not end this.

and yes.
we didn't beat any standards out there yesterday.
we set our own.

thank you,from the very bottom of my heart, for moulding me into someone stronger than she has ever been.
i love you all.very much.

ROCK & RULE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Mama

The Last Curtain Call

By the time most of you read this, this experience would probably be over already.

But I just can't get onto that stage without coming back here again. I just have a lot of things I want to say...But as usual time works against us. But I woke up this morning with the aim of posting one last time in here before I go up onto that stage and perform for a crowd that has not seen what went into this production.

Its been a beautiful journey. It really has...I just cannot explain how much this means to me. To some, it means the world. This whole musical and all the memories associated with it give light to my world...

Sighs...

I'm looking at the timer...0 days 18 hours...I can't believe it really is happening. Show time seemed so far away once...But as always, all good things must come to an end.

I've made a great many friends, most of which I will never forget or lose touch with forever...I've seen people laugh...made them laugh...made some cry. But it's these people...you...that make me come for every practice.

People kept asking me why I keep turning up for practice when I have nothing on. For a simple reason...

I enjoy every moment of it...every single second I spend in that theatrette, in that dance studio...in that hall.

Memories so sweet their taste will always remain even after all these is over...even til my dying day.

And now that its nearly over, I just wanted to say sorry to anyone I've offended, to anyone I've pissed off.

Sorry to my choreographers and my director if i didn't listen or pay attention...Say sorry to my friends for being very moody for the past few days...The thought of leaving is too heart-wrenching.

AS I am saying this, my bag is packed for the last time...packed to the brim with things I will need for these next 3 days...I will never pack that bag again for another musical practice or rehearsal again.

Sighs...

It's been a beautiful journey...So for the next 60 hours...til the last curtain call, enjoy it. You will never get another chance.

When we do the final curtain call...The final round of applause...We will be backstage in tears, smiling, happy...sad. Just know that even thought this thing is over, our friendship will always remain...will always grow...


Cast and Crew of CinderElla the Musical...It has been beautiful...


This will be my Final Curtain Call...


Thank You...For Everything...


For the last time and Forever more...

That's the time schedule for the entire week. Only 3 more weeks till week 0.
You have a choice to make to either put everything you've got into this or none at all.
This is a gamble you have to make and alot of what you are about to do are risks.
Make a choice of whether you want to take the risks or not.
Decide if the time you put aside is worth it.
Decide whether the last 9 months have been worth it.
Decide whether you are going to challenge yourself for the next 3 weeks.
Becuase they are going to be the hardest 3 weeks of your life.
No break, no sleep, no time, plenty of stress, breakdowns, tears and anger.
Decide if you are up for it.
If you are, then I'll most gladly see you at all rehearsals with nothing to provide but the hope of the best nights of your lives.

Imagine when you take to the stage...

...and the world watches you perform...

Misfitz.

i want you all to know that throughout the entire time frame that i've known you guys, from the very minute i knew i was part of the misfitz till this very day, though i have yelled, screamed and shouted at u guys, i have never given up on us. never had, and never will.

yesterday, you all proved something.
and my heart sang when i felt it, cause i knew that this day will come.
AFTER ALL that we've been through.

misfitz.always remember, that what makes us unique is the very fact that we dare to be different and we are who we are. never ever doubt yourself for one split second. never.
and never place limitations on yourself. this goes out to everyone too.

yesterday, we did good. but its not the best.
i am not saying this to bring us down, but just remember that we are MORE than what we've become.
there are no limits to how well we can do it.
no restrictions. nothing.
so let's do it.
this one goes out to everyone as well.

today i say with my fullest heart,
Big Mama is so freakin proud of her misfitz.
and she really loves each and everyone of u,very much.

Nathan.

if you had not walked out that day with us when we were sent out to rehearse our lines because we were absolutely terrible on stage, we would not be where we are today.
we did the scenes for 20 minutes outside with you.
when we went back in, it was the best scene ever.
what started that day, hasn't stopped till today.
where would we be without you nathan, i don't know.

if we are on fire today, that's because you are our spark.
you are not just nathan, someone who is incharge of our scene rehearsals.
you are part of us.
you are one of us.
you ARE a misfit.

we love you very much too nathan.

To my musical.

we have all sacrificed a lot for this musical in our own ways.
we're almost there guys.
show time's 7 weeks away.

let's get aggressive.and prove our worth people.

Big Mama

Going Uphill.. .

Ok guys,

Today's rehearsals were awesome.

I was deeply impressed by the level of professionalism that the cast brought today. I am deeply proud of you guys for your dedication and commitment.

My misfits. All of you guys were on fire today. After all the hard work we've put in you guys have finally seen for yourselves how talented you are. I am really proud of you guys. Please don't get all mushy on me with the whole "we couldn't have done it without you" crap guys. Today was 100% you! I've written a personal note for you guys on my own blog. Read it

The Prep Squad, i have to be honest, doesn't have the level of energy and life the Misfits have. Two reasons. Firstly, the MISFITS ARE CRAZY. Freakin insane. They are naturally loud and energetic. The Prep Squad is supposed to be more cultured and controlled. You guys have to have a certain air of pride and arrogance. However that DOES NOT mean that you guys are any less talented. Remember, YOU guys RULE the school. You have to make the audience understand that you guys are the best at what you do!

Secondly, you guys lack a level of chemistry amongst yourselves. Please try to gel together. I know its easier said then done, but you guys have to put in that extra effort. You guys are and will always be friends, not just acting partners.

I know we've split the Misfits and Prep Squads for separate focus rehearsal sessions. That, however, does not mean that you stick within your own groups. Please interact with one another and learn from each other. Feel free to ask any one of the CREW members for anything you may need. Misfits please approach Thana, Serena or Saras for opinions and advice anytime. Likewise for the Prep Squad, please approach Naathan if you ever need anything at all. I'll be delighted to lend a helping hand. This goes for you guys too, Fairy god parents!

Guys, we only have around 7 to 8 weeks before the big show. Motivate each other. All of you guys are doing insanely well. We have a press release around the corner. Help Prasad out by working with him on your dances. The dude's sacrificing much and he's working at 300% and its only fair you put in as much as well. I know its not easy, but if there's anyone who can do it, its you guys!


Good or bad, we're all in this together.
Work hard and we'll play harder.


Lots of love and RESPECT guys,
~Naathan.

Some Feedback from an insignificant person...

Okay...about today's rehearsal...

Astounding!

As in reli... You guys were on fire yesterday...

I've never seen 3 Acts perfromed so well in a row...and that is without any prompting ( okay fine there was a bit for my part...but that was unexpected...)

First the Misfits Review

I have to reli say the Misifts stunned everyone yesterday...You guys had awesome stage presence and energy...With the exception of some blocking problems, you guys were awesome.

You guys brought alot of action to the satge. You were doing other things that gave life to ur characters. But one thing i have to point out is tt we still can catch ur whispering amongst each other on stage, so u have to keep silent. Dont make unnecessary noises. Just remeber...watermelon.

But you guys still need to work on ur blocking and voice projection...We'll see how well you project your voices when we view the cds again.


Also, dont always form a semi circle or stand in a line...It looks unnatural, like you guys are acting instead of living ur characters.

Remember we edited the start of one scene where ur characters were practising? That was nice...It was very natural. Do something like that for most scenes and it will make the musical more believable.


Find a partner and feed off their energy. An example would be Isaac and Praveen, or Isabelle and Suadz...They have fun being around each other and so they bring that to the stage. Dont be afraid to take the good points in ur real life and apply them to ur characters...its YOUR character.

Another point, dont block each other. Sometimes u guys block the people standing behind you. You'll have to work on tis as you go on, but keep up this attitude and energy and you will be great!

The problem now is that we know what good actors u guys reli are...so u cant slack in rehearsals anymore... :D

But keep it up.


Review on Prep Squad

Prep squad i have to say that you guys didnt have as much energy as the Misfits but that's cos you guys have not bonded so close YET! But as time wears on, you'll start to bond, and when that happens, you'll fine urself having fun acting with each other.

Another reason why u guys didnt perform to the standards we know you're capable of was that u weren't so sure of ur lines...and some of u forgot some lines. That affected ur confidence. So take some time off every now and then and just recall ur lines.

If you're confident of ur lines, everything else will follow smoothly. Understand what happens in every scene and you will even start coming up with ur own lines that may be funnier or nastier...which is even better.

Another thing i noticed is that blocking needs some work as most of you guys are new...but you have to work that out with the acting coaches. A couple of weeks and we'll definitely see some improvement from you guys.


My Verdict

We still need work with some of our parts.

Mainly:

1. Blocking
2. Line Memory
3. Energy Levels on Stage

But I have to say that overall, yesterday was truly inspiring. It was relly great to see that we are progressing very well. Once I have the videos converted, we shall review them together.

And just so you guys know... I changed my vote in the polls from 'not satisfactory to 'WE ARE POWER'...

Why are you in this Musical?

Why ARE you in this musical???

What are YOU doing here???

What do YOU wish to accomplish???


Just take this moment to ask yourself that question...

Did all sorts of answers come to ur head?

Are any of those reasons ones that push you to come for every meeting, practice every dance step, rehearse every line???

If so then congrats...you're one in a few...


And I think these is why the progress of the musical is really slow...Most of us dont have a good enough reason to be here...some of us dont know what we want out of this musical. Some of us are here cos we were told to be here...that is the most depressing answer guys...

WE are less than a hundred days away from SHOWTIME...Let emphasise the word...SHOWTIME!!!



Do you really think we have anything to show? Do you really think that people out there would want to see us...I wouldnt want to see us...

Press release is in a month...and it is a 4 minute song....4 minute song!

A four minute song takes no longer than 3 days to remember and another day to practise...6 days tops! 6 hours each day. I know I havent been here for a month...

but it seems like i havent missed much...

I'm not gonna apologize cos now's not the time for pleasantries...

I know it hurts...i hope it does cos maybe pouring acid on our hearts might make us get up and push harder than we are pushing now...

I can and will say this...If ur not serious abt the musical, then you shouldnt even be in it in the first place...But now that you're in it...pls dont f*** it up for the rest of us who have hopes and dreams for this musical and have invested half their life and grades and what not into the musical...

We cannot depend on someone else to motivate us and discipline us anymore...We have to start pouring gas into our own tanks now and not trust someone else to do it...

And i have to apologize to Saras...I am sorry i've been gone one month...And Im sorry you feel that we took the fun outta this musical for you. And its not just to you im apologizing...everyone else who's put in their sweat and blood for this to become a reality...

Depressing is the word for it...

Our musical is abt a girl who goes from depression to happiness...ironic that we are goin from happiness to depression.



Haix


We need to have a vision guys...we need to have a vision of where this musical is taking us...taking YOU!!!

Everyone one of us shld have a vision of what this musical is going to do to our lives...the friends we make...the family we became...The doors that we opened to opportunites...To brighter careers...

Am I wrong in saying this : whether you planned it or not...this musical has impacted every one of us positively...Isnt it time we did this musical some justice??

WE ARE SO CLOSE TO REALIZING OUR DREAMS...LETS NOT JEOPARDIZE IT NOW...

From outside that dance studio, or theatrette, we're just kids fooling around...

But from inside that room...we all have the power and potential to change the world...

WE have something that not many youths have...the chance to make our dreams a reality...


I know I have made some very crude remarks that some of you might find...unnecessary.


Call it what you want, Im not taking it back. I hope before this Sat, you all read it.

I've tried to be politically correct and kind and motivating in my previous posts...


Now im purposely being evil, vile and politcally f***ed up...I hope I angered most of you...I hope I pissed off most of you...Cos take that and times 3 and you know how much everyone else in the musical is feeling that you missed that one small little dance practise or that one small rehearsal...

This post wasn't meant to point out anyone...but if you feel guilty...then i've done what i set out to do...

When I started out, the time was 11 pm...now its 1 am...

Another 2 hours closer to showtime....Get my point...?
