well hello there...
let's see now... hmm...

oh yar... touch rugby... well... i must first say that Karthik did a fine job this morning... coaching us all... and trust me... coaching a sports idiot like me to do anything remotely sporty even like passing a ball (which sadly i also couldn't master) is a taxing job...
anyway... i totally did not get the point of the game... but it was good fun running around aimlessly and trying to look and sound as if i knew exactly what was going on...
ha...
if you're reading this karthik... i swear i'll buck up and try again...
just don't pummel me into the ground a la rugby...

hmm... oh yar... vj tsd public performance...
i am being held at gunpoint now by leonard who wants the whole world to come and see what i think of their performance...
oh well... if you do pass this way then leave a note kk...

duologue by lynn and leonard... well... HAHAHA... that's all i can say... i mean... there was a lot of comedy in that piece that wasn't in words... the timing, action and whatnot... which makes it all the more striking... and leonard as a displaced father and lynn as an uneasy mom was somehow disturbingly apt... i loved the entire wringing hands bit by lynn and the obvious (and very male) transformation of helplessness into anger and rage by leonard...
and according to my friend... she was really afraid that leonard would really take the chair and barge into the loo... or the john as they so insist on calling it...

the agony of mother nature... that was a neat piece too... cos i really loved the effect of the ultraviolet lights on the actors... or actress for that matter... the way her entire appearance transformed at the flick of a switch was just visually stunning...
and the goldfishie!!!

now for a slight ache... well... i'm supposed to praise him lots... ha...
i must say that there definitely was this alfred hitchcock style tension to the entire piece... and honestly i was quite scared sitting there... the entire thing was so damn unsettling... especially seeing the vagrant guest just nonchalantly stride out the room... eerie even... reminds me also of the others... the last screaming, quasi-revelation part...
also... the way you acted leonard... your uneasiness and everything... it was so real and as a result... also so damn unsettling...

hmm... tangents... well nicole i have to say that you were very scary at first but by the end endearing to the audience... your character shed a much needed light to the sheer dreariness and commonness of the others... it is ironic yes... but in your character's mental state she is at once foolish yet with knowledge of what may be truly important, vulnerable and yet the one who is also a light for chitra's character in your childlike joys and tantrums...
and chitra... yes... even though i had not the slightest inkling of what the heck you were saying i could understand your character... and that's saying a lot...

yasmin as mina was brilliant... just brilliant... the entire thing was so... i don't know how to put it... she was clearly quite off her rocker... but the enthusiasm of her character was just so endearing to the audience... all that life and spirit... but equally brilliant was leon as her brother... the last part where he tries the mascara/radio was like the tour de force... it totally left a huge question mark there...
brilliant...

so all in all it was a wonderful show i must say... i loved it all... but i really can't put it all down here... the kabuki act... liang zhu... the musical... lynn's mono...
wish i could meet all of leonard's little friends and say hi and how much they did a good job and blah on and on...
ah well...
leave a tag kk...

and for all of you out there wondering what was i talking about... well you all missed a good show... haha... well... there's always next year...

and i must be going...
wouldn't want to scramble out of bed an hour late again tomorrow would we...
zzz...
