Opening night

The show opens tonight! Yay! Actu­ally, I’m not sure what I’m feel­ing at the moment. A bit of nerves, a bit of relief, a bit of pride, a bit of nerves. But yay, nonethe­less. And yes, tick­ets are still avail­able for the rest of the run (till Sat 10th Feb), though I think this week’s …

Re-hearsing

It can be quite thirsty work, rehears­ing for a show, even if you’re not the per­former. Every­thing is com­ing together nicely. Actu­ally, with five days to open­ing night, they’d bet­ter be. Thank good­ness for these fizzy vit­a­min tablets that you put in water that make you look like you’re pee­ing high­lighter ink an hour later. Tech­no­rati …

With low-flying, washed-out colours

And so, with the dra­matic, almost the­atri­cal, gasp­ing dash that lasted half a minute over the last one hun­dred metres, I passed the 2.4km run seg­ment of the IPPT tonight, at 13:29, a full minute slower than my pre­vi­ous attempt more than two years ago. But who cares? An ugly pass is still a pass, and …

Hypnotherapninny

I’m really not one to speak about all this hyp­nother­apy hocus pocus and mind con­trol stuff, but I can say that one’s mind can play tricks on one. Espe­cially when one is, for var­i­ous rea­sons, like lack of sleep, sus­cep­ti­ble to being tricked by one­self. See, I’ve spent a good minute won­der­ing why, on my …

A life less urinary

There are these uri­nals in the gents on the first floor of Great World City which might just make you stop uri­nat­ing in mid-stream when you realise you’re point­ing your pee-pee in the gen­eral direc­tion of a tiger’s mouth or a gorilla’s open jaws. Symp­toms vary. Some peo­ple feel like brown­ing their pants.

Whatever gets you through long days

Idol sea­son (the Amer­i­can one) is start­ing again, I hear. And judg­ing from one of the inter­views judge Paula Abdul is giv­ing to var­i­ous media out­lets, things must’ve taken their toll dur­ing the audi­tions. (via PerezHilton.com) Tech­no­rati Tags: amer­i­can idol, Paula Abdul

Patience, young Jedi

I’m not blog­ging as often as I’d like to be, mostly because days have turned into nights and vice-versa because of work, which is quite fun in spite of the fre­quent brain-jams I’ve been get­ting for var­i­ous rea­sons. One of the said brain-jamming moments is when I’m sit­ting here on my com­puter, try­ing to type …
