I'm posting... I can't believe it.... Wow...

You know, I really don't have much to tell you about my life. Seriously, if I were to write down every single thing that's happening in my days, it would probably sound like this: Wake up, eat, smoke, shit, eat, smoke, internet, smoke, lepak, smoke, sleep. Clean, rinse, repeat.

Not until recently, at least.

So here's what's weird: if you are a close friend of mine, you know that I have a really, really short attention span. As in seriously, agonizingly short. That's why my short stories are, well, short. So are my relationships (I don't know if that's relevant or not). That is also the case with my studies, sadly. Ever seen me studying for more than 1 hour straight? If you have, that is not me, that's my twin brother. No, I don't have a brother.

The point is, it's really hard for me to focus on one thing at a time, let alone several things at once (a sorry excuse for a Monash student).

Until recently.

So I'm taking part in the Monash Performing Arts Club (you can call it MPAC if you want) Year End Production (YEP, for short. That makes it MPAC YEP. Don't look at me, I didn't invent that name). And yours truly - who am I kidding? - I wrote the script. No, I should say, I am writing the script, as of this post. Terrible thing, them writer's block.

But first thing first. The concept of the story is not mine. True, I'm writing the script, and true that the script is being used right now, but the concept is not mine. It's Ivan's. Well, I made some (sick) adjustments myself, but the concept is his. Moving along.

Now, the most awesome part of this whole thing is that I hadn't quit. Surprise, surprise. Didn't know that I'm a quitter? News flash kids. Why did you think I chose BioMed instead of Med? But no, seriously. I haven't been this serious about anything my whole life. Usually when I am given a responsibility, I'd much rather get it done as fast as possible (short attention span folks. It kills). But not this time, no sir.

Why? Well, first of all, the cast members seems to like the story. A lot. So far. I feel appreciated, you know? Can't let them down.

Secondly, we are charging RM 10 for the ticket. In my book, that is a lot of money. For the first time I'm writing junks not only for myself, but for people who are paying to get entertained. Quitting means putting a target mark on my head.

Lastly, I fucking love doing this. Seriously. All the pressure, all the stress, all the deleted Word documents, does not even come close to hampering the joy I felt when the cast members actually acted out my script. My script, ladies and gentleman. And it turned out to be an awesome thing, indeed. I swear I almost felt like crying when they first acted out the scenes (the first three scenes, if you want to be specific about it). It was like unto a work of art. I almost felt like quitting smoking. Almost. That's saying a lot.

So having said that, I am not really all that when it comes to writing, even more so when it comes to acting (yes, I will be acting. In one scene. Like, a cameo), but I think I can say with a certain degree of confidence that this is going to be awesome. It's going to be a gas.

I'm having a ball, people. And I would appreciate it if you would come and check it out. The play is called Visage of Lies. The title is created by Jeevan, not me. It will be held in Monash University. If you're not a student, you can always pretend that you are and come anyways. It's going to be held on Friday, 10th of October, 7.30 pm to 10.00 pm. There's gonna be some dancing scenes, a sword fight, and a making out scene. I'd say that's rather cool. If you want to know the details, go here.

And another thing; this is a heads-up for those who actually read my short stories. I am going to write the story of the play in short story form, chapter by chapter, after the event (and exams). We'll see how it's going to be.

Right. I think that's about it. Back to the scripts.

Good night,

Sleep tight.
