Kaki Blue

Tonight, I'm gonna watch "Kaki blue".

Jann Lim managed to get tickets to "kaki blue" and thankfully his friend couldn't make it! So now I get to go instead! *Evil laugh*

According to the Kaki blue blog http://kakiblue.wordpress.com/what-is-kaki-blue/

Kaki Blue The Musical is about Lin, Nee and Ah Shan who just completed their SPM, and think it’s time to celebrate. Think again! Just as they sink into a mellow routine of nothingness; of watching TV non-stop and sleeping until 1pm in the afternoon, they unexpectedly ‘kena saman’ in the form of an SMS calling them for service in the Butterworth Kem Bina Negara!
The 3 get over imaginative and start conjuring images of deadly flying foxes and scary men in uniforms…Will their wildest fantasies of the elusive camp and its equally colourful camp trainers be a reality, and will their lives really be the same after the stint in those blue khakis?Follow the three as they leave their blue and whites to don their new uniforms as wira & wira watis in the new camp under the guidance of the no-nonsense Major Sabar.
Kaki Blue is a bold story about the courage and spirit of today’s youth. It is about the many uniforms and roles we put on, and shed, as we grow up in this country. Join the youngsters as they sing and dance to the tunes of yesteryear, to finally emerge the heroes that they are.
Kaki Blue is Written by Mark Beau De Silva

Definitely looking forward to watch it! The last play I went for was the vagina monologues. Erm that was alright, lets see how this goes!

It's at KLPAC, hopefully I manage to get to yoga by 5.30, run home, shower and vrooom off to the play * fingers crossed*
I hope all those reading this will also seriously consider watching the play. We, as Malaysians, should support the Malaysian arts.
They are a talented lot you know!
Go Malaysia! Woot!

Excerpts From Signals by Joel Rothschild

Signals By Joel Rothschild was a book I read lately. It's about a man, Albert who committed suicide as he could no longer bear the pains of life. His gay lover, Joel is till today alive as he believes that Albert, is guiding him everyday.

This was definitely an amazing read.

Fyi, Joel Rothschild is the longest surviving HIV + patient.

Joel, you must not take your own life. You must go as far as you can in life. Know that each and every moment of life matters and that they are the same in many ways. Ways you have not yet seen. The good, the bad, the healthy days, the sick ones, happy sad, bored,or thrilled- they are the same. With each and every breath, and in every moment of life, you are working things out, things that are connected to some thing far greater. You are part of something much bigger. We are all part of this larger purpose. Those kind people and those cruel people all have a purpose you can't possibly understand right now. Each and every person matters, and each and every moment matters. The painful ones included. We are all one.

You are now confined to living a single moment at a time. Moment by moment, you mark your life. All spiritual growth is based on work from the past. All past experiences are building blocks. All the individual moments of life are the grains of matter that form each block. We are more than grains of sand on a collective beach that is God- we are individual universes bound, tied and connected to one another.

Individual spiritual growth is connected to a collective growth. Free will and destiny are two paths that head to the same place. They cross each other along the way. They are inseparable. Nor is the individual separate from the whole. All life forces are evolving, growing, and moving forward toward oneness with the infinite.

You must live as many of life's moments as you can endure. There is meaning and purpose in every breath of life for you- and for every one- including the moments of pain and suffering. All suffering is connected to a greater good you can't possibly understand right now. Each breath, each second of life matters. In every breath and moment of life, you are indeed accomplishing and working out so much that you can't understand or recognize from where you are now.

Trust me, trust in our love. You will learn and grow through my death. You will know it was my path and destiny to end my life in that moment. It was my life's lesson. What I've learned since death. My suicide is also connected to a greater good. You will see it, in part, unfold in your own life. I will contact you again. I am always with you.

Albert Fleites to Joel Rothschild in the book "Signals" by Joel Rothschild.

A debate between a famous rabbi and a cardinal on the subject of the differences between Christianity and Judaism:

The Rabbi concluded:

For two thousand years, Christians have believed that mankind is intrinsically bad, that all human beings inherit original sin and always must go to God for forgiveness. Jews on the other hand, for four thousand years, have tended to believe mankind is intrinsically good. We do make mistakes, however, and should go to God for forgiveness when we do so.

Keep it up Joel!

My French Experience

Those who have me on facebook would have noticed that I had to cram French in a very short period. 13 hours to be exact.

It was definitely a crazy exhilarating experience! I had to cram a whole bunch of French words for an interview in which I was expected to translate a French document as a means of assessing my capability.

When I went to the interview, at the Bursa Malaysia building, the sweet old taxi driver of a man was ever so kind to wish me luck. I even noted his Taxi Id, just in case I got through the interview to track him down and thank him.

But, erm since I'm not interested in the job I forgot the number =S

Anyways, when I approached the interview venue, the people there were dressed in some what casual clothing and this did not impress me one bit!

Then the HR Recruiter, Gracie got me filling some forms and left me in a silent room and asked me to wait till the manager came to interview me.

Then this man and a girl came in to interview me. The firstly explained what the job was about, but I couldn't help but notice the very many freckles the man had on his hands...

I was asked to read aloud a French document, and explain to them what it said, I did fairly well, however, when I asked for the meaning of some French words I was alien to, he confessed he wasn't too sure himself.

Second unappealing point.

After this, they actually started selling to me the job, and how I can grow within it. I seriously do not like it when people start selling ideas to me, convince me, not sell!

At the end, they asked me to wait for Gracie who had to collect some forms of me, again, I was left in the cold silent room. And guess what, Gracie, forgets me!

So I was left in that room for like 30 mins all by my self =S I started humming my new favourite song by Kenneth Bager, giggled to my self, called bfm (but my phone battery died, so that didn't last long), thought more funny thoughts, giggled to myself more. (at this point of time I'm wishing real hard there isn't any cctv in the room)

Suddenly! I had an epiphany, I've always thought that the prospect of having a jail record would be appealing, but after 30 minutes in this room, I realised, no way would I ever wanna end up in jail =S

Exasperated, I went out of the room to look for Gracie, left her a message saying I was still waiting for her. When she finally came, I gave her all my papers and practically ran out of the room!

Wheeeeeeeee free again!

So since I've already concluded that I do not want that job,

I still need a job.

My Attachment

Hahahaha, internships, they're misleading I tell you! They lure you in with the hope of you getting some serious hand on experience, in the end, you end up playing bingo with your colleagues via Intranet!

Well I've been attached to the Islamic Division, and it's been a little enlightening and I must say I've enjoyed the experiences and company so far.

In the 1st week, my buddy paid some attention to me, but after that he's been to busy and has even managed to avoid me =SHe wouldn't look me in the eye, well, can't blame him, he is busy. In the mean time, I've decided to cram some French, as well as B.L.O.G!

Lucky for me, I've got an old school friend attached in the same program as me, in the same division, so I've got plenty of company! we've been exploring new places to eat in the heart of KL, and also taken to taking strolls along Heritage Row during the day.

Heritage Row, omg, that place is empty! during the day, the waiters were practically begging us to come and eat. Guess that's how much in demand I am...

Now!

I've moved back home, restricted by curfews even though i'm bloody well..old.I don't like bumming, so I managed to get my self into a Short Attachment Programme with Alliance Bank. At least now, I've got a slight idea of what I can actually do with my degree. *pats head* =DThe sky's the limit yo!

A Brief History

So, I've just graduated from the University of Nottingham. There I achieved many many things,oh and that would include my degree yea.The most accomplishing was me being the Secretary of my Student Association. In university, I also made amaaazing friends, had the opportunity of working with ten amazing people, partying till dawn ( a little less on my final year though), talking to the ducks, and a whole bunch of other things from which I learned a lot. Like a Lot!
