Follow-up Post

The continuation. It's just that since I am talking about the arts, I thought that I'd list my track record. I may be a complete virgin about The Scene in Malaysia, but that doesn't mean i haven't been involved with anything of the sorts in the academic institutions I've been in. To me, art is about expression. so here i am listing everything I can recall about my involvement in things that have anything to do with expression and the arts.

Dance

1996 'Wau Bulan' (I did portions of the choreography)
1999 'You Drive Me Crazy' (I did portions of the choreography)
2001 'You Rock My World' (It was for aerobics, we only used half the song but
i did 90% of the steps. We won first place inter-class!)
Inter-class Cheerleading. I just added here and there (I was a last minute
recruit!)
Some multi-cultural dance we did with a Hindi song. (i did portions of the
choreography)
2003 'We've Got It Going On' (aerobics, full-song, and I did it 95%. we scored
pretty good)
2006 Koi Mil Gaya (just a few minutes of the song for my play When Aci Met
Nana)
Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana (same as above)

Choral Speaking

1997 Save Some For Us (I was conductor, but teachers handled everything)
1998 Pied Piper
1999 i don't remember the title, but i was conductor and handled everything
2000 Mr. & Mrs. Obesity. (we went to the state level in 2001 with this one and
ended up 4th. i wasn't the conductor but i handled 85% of everything)
'Madah Berpuisi' = BM version of choral speaking. (i wasn't the conductor,
but handled 75%. we won!)

Music

-2002 I'm a grade 5 pianist (a lousy one!)
1996 school choir
1997 orchestrated the chorus singing for the English Club group performances
2000 school choir 'extras'
2005 college 6 choir (orientation week)
orchestrated chorus singing for Minggu Mesra Pelajar closing ceremony (i
even had a solo line)

Acting

1997 group performances withing the class (i was a bangladeshi with a mental
illness)
i played the role of the typical makcik-mother (we never got to perform
though)
patriotic themed PUISIDRA in which i played a rubber tapper
1999 class group performance (i wrote the script and all, but don't quite
remember the storyline; i know it had a queen....it was awful)
2000 wrote & acted in a play for the Karate Club luncheon (rather disastrous)
won Best Actress during the Karate picnic (i played the role of a retarded
beggar)
wrote & acted a class play for Teacher's Day (we didn't get to perform...it
wouldn't have worked anyway)
auditioned for The Red and Gold Shoe musical under Teater Muda (i got
the part, but my parents were concerned about the practise schedule
intefering with my academics so, i didn't follow through)
2002 MRSM Taiping's adaptation of Romeo and Juliet called Remy and Julia for
the Minggu Bahasa Zon Utara ( I played the Sultanah and i dont quite
remember the character it was based upon)
class group performance of The Necklace ( I prepared the script & I won
Best Actress)
2004 PUISIDRA for Malam Emas PASUM (our VC loved it!)
2005 PUISIDRA for the closing of Sambutan Minggu Kemerdekaan Kolej 1, 2 & 6
2006 wrote+acted+directed+choreographed When Aci Met Nana for the 6th
College Alumni Dinner performance (a desperate, last-minute request from
a friend to perform a sketch)

Since I'm proclaiming the exictence of my artistic side to the world, I might as well add that I also write poems occasionally. Most of them aren't worth reading, but some of them are rather clever & creative for the average layman i must say. I know what I'm writing here is a useless track record ( i mean, i can't use any of these to write in a resume), but this is a reminder to myself of what i was (and maybe still am) capable of.

So, the post is finally finished. U may say I'm making something out of nothing, but these events were really important to me especially now that I am rediscovering LIFE! So, enough of my gloating already. Thanks for checking in!
