Tokyo Notes

The universe is not using a telescope to see us.....

What's the time now? Did you say you like to have tea with us at the cafe? Is the cafe you mentioned the restaurant? So is that a restaurant or a cafe totally depends on what's the time now?

Who are you? What's the time now?

We need to use our heart to see things, but you can't use your heart to see things because your heart is not there!

We will still seeing things differently because everyone has a different heart!

I'm a snail ........

Slow .....

"Hurry up, hurry up!" this is the sentence that I use most for these recent years. Every morning, I need to wake my children up and get them ready to school and get myself ready for my day; every night I need to prepare them to go to the bed on time so that they can have enough energy for the next day ..... day after day, I gradually become a very impatient parent; I always chasing out with time .....

But today, I think I should slow down my pace from now on, as while I'm chasing my children to do things fast, I miss out so many great things around us .....

We learnt how to move our body slowly ..... we learnt how to pace and trust with your partner ..... and I saw the suspense and the energy that flowing out when you really concentrate and do the moving slowly.....

Yes, slow doesn't mean left out; slow doesn't mean less power; instead, when you do it with concentration, you can transmit out a great impact!

First day on The Bectkett Residency Workshop

Wow, it's great! Finally, I'm participating in again.....

This is a 2-week workshop, all together 18 of us, from different places join in the same workshop, to me, it's really a great experience after so many years! The kind of feeling finally coming back .....

I felt great to move my body again .....

I felt great to listen to the lecture again .....

I felt great to sit in the studio again .....

I felt great to be part of the theater participants again .....

It's so great ......

Choreography for Non-Choreographers

It was a real great experience to watch a group of non-choreographers on stage to present the piece that choreograph by them!

Even though you know from their performance that they are not a dancer, but they do did a good job by putting their thought thru the piece, and they are really putting in with their efforts, you can feel it while you watch them perform on stage.

I personally like the "Unrequited" choreograph by Vernon Adrian Emuang, it's touched my heart, especially the end part when all the performers line up in two lines, and one of the performer lay down on their hands.

The song is beautiful, Hallelujah; and the performer Mark Teh, you are great!

Hope to see more work from you guys, and maybe, I'll come and join you too :)

Make a way out

Do I need to sit at home every day without any social life? Or I'll just need to make a way out for myself?

The answer is obvious.

Last Saturday evening when I suggested we go out for dinner then he said he need to go out for a dance show, so he can't dinner with us, or we might want to order our food and have it at our home so that he can has enough time to rush for the show.

I was so upset then because I'm always the one who need to sit at home to take care of our two little one while he can go out to enjoy his life without inform us before hand.

And when will I have a chance to sit in the theatre to enjoy a show again?

There are plenty of shows and workshops out there every night, but I have no chance to participate, and I'm out-of-the-scene as a theatre lover for too long.

I'll find a way out for myself to get involve in what I enjoy most, from now.

Yes, I promise.

It's another month....

It's seem like I still have no chance to watch any drama show recently :( beside a movie with my kids together on last Saturday names Ice Age 2.

It's a very entertaining movie, lot of fun and laugh, but I do not have a desire to write something on it..... Like what I said, just sharing my own thought here....

Until next time again....

I am back!

Yes, I'm back! It's been a long, long while, living without theatre, that's used to my life and my every day routine.

Time flies back to year 1992, when I first enroll myself into a local college, the only college that has a 'Drama Department' in Malaysia at that time.

I'm now a mother of two, not step into theatre for more than twice in a year, I'd say I was like I never learned and never knew theater ever! That's not good :(

Did read some of the reviews on the current show written by some theatre lovers or participants, but honestly speaking, not much critical review or any kind of real comments out there, what I read was just another synopsis written in a different way! And if I'm not wrong, there are only maybe one or two people are writing it.

For me, the chances to really participate into theatre work again is very slim, I'd rather be an audience, and maybe, write some review, or to be precise, a feeling or a thought towards the show, a very personal emotions towards it.....

I wish I could have more chance to go and watch a show; I wish I could have write something after I watched a show.

Until next time.....
