An End to An Era ...

of eye-opening experiences, friendship, hardwork, toil, respect, tolerance, motivation, inspiration and dedication. There are lots more positive attributes I could list but I shan't. Call it a writer's perogative if you will. Infant blogger in this instance.

I met wonderful people from all walks of life during my 9 months with M! the Opera and I know that many of us will remain in contact with each other having forged such strong friendships. For this, I thank my friend, Fuad, who introduced me to M! though he himself left the production just as the ball started rolling.

Despite positive and negative comments (more negative than positive, and I call them comments as I've yet to read a professional review with constructive criticisms and not mere brown-nosing or dismissive), the cast has shown tremendous and unflailing dedication and belief towards this project, ploughing on day after day, night after night. That's first-timers for you (most of them are, including myself). Grit and determination. It's not one man's effort but every man's effort put together.

I shall miss all of this, miss the curry laksa/dim sum/bak kut teh supper after performances, and most of all, walking onto the stage every night. I shan't be missing my new found friends because I believe our friendship will continue to go the distance.

The Wave Makes It Onto Blogmania

I've finally arrived!

After months of contemplation on starting me own blog, I finally get to it. The desire to blog have always been inspired by that same thing, that being M! the Opera.

We opened on Wednesday, 23 March 2006 at Istana Budaya! To sum it all up, the M! creative experience has been an eye-opener for me since I signed my soul to the production some 8/9 months ago. On Sunday (26 March 2006), it dawned on me that the beginning of the end had begun. I will never forget Sunday, 26 March 2006:

Sunday was for observation and motivation

Sunday was for wearing the heart and soul on sleeves

Sunday remembered my first inspiration for my aspirations

Sunday was the first step in the right direction

And .... Sunday brought validation

TV said today that I reminded him of Charlene's I've Never Been To Me. I hope that my adventures on Alaskan Waves will take me there one day :)
