-Oh happy day...-

Hey everybody who is reading this blog (whoever you are)...

Can't update this blog as frequent i would like it to be. A lot of stuff happening right now. It's been crazy. In a fun kind of way.

Ghaz update: what's up with me now?

1. Still in the process of writing "aku dan si mat CD". Finally, I have finalised the storyline. But have not start writing on the actual script yet. haha... what is it about?
About a believing-and-practising muslim guy who came from JC and his NS experience in the Civil Defence. Basically, it's an inspired story about yours truly.
Ok, you can stop rolling your eyes now. It's my first script. Wanna start with something personal.
Anyway, the script will be presented as part of Teater Ekamatra's Playwright Mentorship Programme showcase. It will be at the substation sometime in mid May. I'll keep you guys updated.

2. I am also stage managing for Teater Artistik's "Tangkap Angin". Another work by Md Fadhli Ramlee. I was Megat in his previous piece, "Srikandi". It's an INBOX production. If you guys dunno what that is, INBOX is a platform where young playwrights (or not so young) can feature their pieces at the Teater Artistik Blackbox (a.k.a TAB)... I will be putting up one piece in July. So, look out for that too.

3. I am also part of Teater Ekamatra's SERAM team. SERAM is short for SEsi RAbu Malam. It's a platform where Malay theater lovers can meet up ala Dead Poet Society and discuss old plays. A dramatised reading of the featured play will also be done. SERAM feb will feature Rafaat Hamzah's piece, MERDEKA.

4. Finally, Young 'N' W!ld is kicking up the notch and we are going into production phase. It will be a trainng season where we will feature 3 productions throuout the season. The first one will be in early May and is called "North Diversion Road"... I absolutely love it but John could not have given me a harder role. Argh! I am doubling as the marketing person as well. Gosh! There is just sooo much to do.

5. And of course, some of you might know, I am on my 19th day as a Student Pass/EZ-link card phototaker. Today I was sent to Opera Estate Primary School. And it has been a very good day. OEPS is just so cool. The kids were obedient. I did not have to shout this time. Some kids were so funny they just made my day. And the environment of the school is just so peaceful. (It's kinda ulu tho... but in a good kind of way) And the food is good. The chicken rice is actual chicken rice (not plain rice and dry fried chicken like VS used to tricked us with) with soup and sambal, all for $1.80. So cheap!
The photoshoot went smoothly. We finished way ahead of time and had time to chill before heading back to the office. Ah...

Oh happy day...
