you were an eventful year. not necessarily good but eventful. looking forward to 2008 for a new start and a fresh perspective to my slightly mundane life.

2008 will be a year for syaza to

• take better care of her body.
• dance more.
• study a lot harder.
• be a better friend.
• use ‘fuck’ less often.
• live a little more.

making my resolutions a little less specific so perhaps i can actually fulfill them.

fuck. who the hell am i kidding.

i’m still so frickin high and exhausted from the whole of today. i’m so high that i’ve actually become inspired enough to blog on this damned thing.

today was amazing. from the bird dance, to ‘my junk’ to improv. i think everyone at the iml callbacks had a super-fantabulous time. some of you still have to attend two more weeks (haha) while the rest of us sit and home and mope about how we didn’t get in (haha).

improv was, i think, the worst portion of my day but the most memorable. fadil snorting imaginary cocain, sarah’s motherly protection of everyone, group 3’s discussion of drinking each other’s urine, isaac’s insistence on keeping vomit as fishbait, conan’s proposition for sex and my secret agreement, rong’s lapdance and of course the ‘ya,ya,ya,ya,ya,ya,ya,okay,mmm,ya’s that were stuck in our heads after the last exercise. energy was SO HIGH today i thought that the room might burst. it’s been awhile since i’ve worked with such a synergised group, cheesy as it may sound.

thank you to all of you (in no particular order):

• isabel (cheryl miles lookalike)
• rong (seaweed woman)
• pamela
• glory
• samantha
• dorra (dumb blue ^^)
• iniki
• shiao yen
• sarah (motherly one)
• clarice (the one i know i’ve seen before but i don’t know where from)
• tongen
• ying ling
• chrystal
• xue yi (perky, bubbly, infectious one)
• cedric
• movin
• thaddeus (mr ns)
• kenneth
• joakim (the misunderstood one. even by me =()
• aron (the one who wants to be called by his last name)
• conan (the one who scares me)
• farid (the other one who scares me)
• isaac (our very own male foxxy cleopatra and vomit collector)
• bee yin (even though she left halfway)
• one more i can’t remember/find (sorry!)
• and NABIL! (the one i met at the first round of auditions and stuck by me throughout today)

of course the creative team deserves a shoutout too for being so supportive, caring and warm and for making us all feel so comfortable

• yubeng, director
• kheng, producer
• valerie, producer
• ricky, choreographer
• wenfu, composer
• tze chien, playwright
• jumeng, design head

to those who made it, congrats and we’ll all be there on opening night. we’ll be the ones in the front row (hopefully) giving the standing ovation and embarrassingly loud cheers. to those who didn’t, we were top 30 out of 300+ so yay to us!

i’m so glad i got a chance to work with all these people. thank you all for the great day, lunch and mass singing (special shoutout to joakim who accompanied on piano ^^) lovelovelove you all. anyone want sentosa? =)
