"written by the late Kua Pao Kun, Lao Jiu mirrors the struggles between pragmatic materialism and the pursuit of artistic excellence."

and so, the initial half hearted effort metamorphed into a spark that thrived on this thing called passion, camwhorish friendship, break-time gossips and harmless bickering. there was a time when the production was a pain; it took away my many things. and there was a time when it was my everything. i'd miss 1. the friends (yes, you bitches and jokers), 2. July 6 to 8 and 3. those 30 lovers of mine who appreciated the drama debut.

Thanks Pearlyn, for coming to watch me on your birthday itself. and Ivan, for rushing off from camp (to be a narcissist at home) to catch me in the act. and Ping Aik, the taxi wait was my pleasure. and Tiang Lim's camera phone made me all gorgeous at the end of the show.

and on Saturday, July 7, 2007, 19 ladies and gentlemen made me the happiest boy that walked the stage (the 20th overslept. oh well.) thanks Michelle and Sarah, for the purple rose. and you looked hot (especially Sarah). and Lusi, you shouldn't have passed me the absolut irresistible. the purple ribbon was cute though. and the note's sweet. thanks Xin Yi, for coming after 2 hours of sleep. and i could fall in love with your voice. and to Sherly, Ying Herng, She Weay, Kai Lin (though you overslept), Chun Leen, Chee Kiang and Chun Kiang, i'll always be with you, my sweet things. Brian and Yokey and Richard and Tikka, we were almost FABulous. if only Fel could make it. and Thu and Dung, your dresses looked great. and ooh, my Jasper friend felt hot on the neck after i did a certain intimate thing.

i had 3 ladies on my last night. and the boyfriends (such a convenient way to boost ticket sale). Angeline, i couldn't just thank you for coming down just for my show. of course i knew of your hidden agenda. and Davina, Lan Anh wasn't wrong about you. always supportive. and you know something Jing Ting, my friend said your boyfriend's really friendly.

we like to Stage It Stage It!
