Lately~~

It's been awhile since I last blog...

Gosh I have so so many things to tell but so little time.

But I must say I want to put a full stop and enjoy the journey...with what ever the tides may bring. Many times I live my life with sentences that just go on and on and on and on and....there is just no full stop till that chapter of my life is all written and done...

I want to slow down a little and feel... everything. All the good, bad, ugly and beautiful... I don't want to rush through life...just wanting to get there... to the destination, the goal, the vision, the dream... and then look back and go... hmmm... I wish I was happier, cos that was awesome! Why did I worry so much? Why was I so afraid? Why didn't I know what I had?

It's time to smell the roses. Or just look at the bud of it :)

I have been busy with I Theatre's Duck and Dive :)
Barely 2 weeks of rest after Little Green Frog with the same company, I have come on board again~~ but this time round, I am learning something different - Puppetry.
It seems like an easy thing, seem like something simple and anyone can do it... that's what a lot of people think.

I have learned so much through rehearsals ~ watching the master do his work and also watching live insects/animals...the way they move and behave. I feel that it is one thing for the puppet to look alive...it's another thing to give a character to it. And also characters when you're holding 2 puppets in your hands. Lol. Feels a little like schizo. But I must say it is real fun when the audience response to it.

I am really privileged to be working with Paul Pistore the Puppet Master. He has been doing this for years and has done puppetry for Men in Black II, Batman movies, Alien: Resurrection, just to name a few.

He's really fun to work with and has so many stories and experiences to tell! I have learned so much from him and I'm glad. You know I always thought those aliens in Men in Black are just... there...lol... but there are so much work to it and making them come alive ~ with interesting characteristics ~ it just amazes me. Sometimes I look past the simplest thing ! But I guess that also mean the puppeteers are really awesome in giving them life, so intriguing and interesting that it becomes - like one of us - just real.

There are 3 puppeteers in Duck and Dive~~ I play the mayflies, butterfly, swan, tiny bugs, a feather, a fireball and sometimes the spider. I can feel my arms are getting more toned~~ lol~~ Come see the show and you'll know why.

Artists from Mediacorp who came and watched gave awesome reviews~~ in fact everyone who have watched our show for the past 2 wks has been giving great reviews. :) I feel glad~~
I must say it's a touching story... one that will never grow old... one which the world still struggles on - acceptance.

When will we learn?
