Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to KLCC Plenary Hall. Integrated Expressions is proud to present you, Malaysia's first sci-fi musical, "NO LIMITS"... And... Today's the last day of NO LIMITS musical. It was so tiring. I was all exhausted... Sigh, I wasn't excited that the show was over... If I had the chance to ask for just one more day of performance...? The show ended too fast. And after the show, I had no chance to hang out with the other casts, musicians and crew. In fact, along the whole rehearsal, i never had chance to get to know most of the production team not to mention those I knew from the previous production. And on the last day of performance, I had to sent mom off to the bus station instead... Yerrr... How ironic!!! This second production I did with Integrated Expressions, was not like the previous Rose Rose, I Love You musical. Yea, I was so quiet throughout the whole musical. Only spoke to the musicians. Many said I was being "anti-social". Yes, memang pun... I hardly talk to anyone. Maybe I came in only after the preview and felt so blur I just minded my own business, that only on the actual performance day itself I finally did say hi to a few of them. During break I was always at the musician pitt instead of joining the others at the backstage changing room:( But really, I don't know why... Due to my graduation recital, I skipped the preview. But it wasn't just that. There's something different with this production this time. I felt awkward actually. Seems like everyone is like so "Yo yo yo man, wassup man.." and I'm being the timid, shy Elaine (like I always am when I don't know anyone...) Nah, I think I just miss Rose musical, that's all. (But... Life's gotta go on la, Elaine!!!) Enough said bout my anti-social attitude... Well, overall I had fun the whole 3 days of performance. But... not during rehearsals, haha. Maybe rehearsals were being super duper long in the wee hours I was tired and I hardly concentrate on the music even. It's crazy how rehearsals can actually drag up to 3am!!! Gosh, madness!!! But, I was happy to be given another chance to perform with Integrated Expressions after doing Rose Rose, I Love You. Yes, I do admit that I don't get paid much, but well, I'm slowly gaining my way in the music and entertainment industry. I wanna play, I wanna perform, I wanna make music!!! That's my aim...
part of NO LIMITS musicians: Wagner, Ywenna, Hiro & me...
And after NO LIMITS, I'm still getting busy all the way till end of August doing another upcoming musical "Ismail, The Last Days..." in KLPac. (and maybe till September if we are going to Singapore to perform there...) Mostly this few months after graduation all I did was only accompanyment for my fellow junior friends in uni besides teaching piano at JJ Pianoforte during the weekends and playing in musicals. Playing in KLPac is so much fun, though it can be stressful at times. But once you know the music well, you don't have to worry much. Man, I love performing!!! I love music!!! I am so happy to be given the chance to perform!!! P.S: To Tong Keat, sorry, I've been a bad accompanist this sem. I hardly practice your songs. I hardly touch the piano!!! To Jessica, I hope I can play well for your recital end of this month... Ee Fang and Cyrena, playing concerto with you guys has never been more than fun and exciting!!!
