En(d)tangled
It is finished!
No practice tonight. We will carry some memories with us forever.
I missed my first class this morning. Sitting in the second class, Shakespeare's famous words came to me; "All the world's a stage..." Does that mean everywhere is a place to act, or that there's a fine line between acting and real life, or something else?
Entangled the Musical is over, but sometimes I think the musical was more real than the real lives we live. Suit Lin knows this; that the mask reveals its wearer.
Make no mistake, I'm not living, nor suggesting we ought to live, in a make-believe world. But I think, if not for the musical, we wouldn't have discovered and come to terms with a lot of the things we truly deal with in this 'real world'. Go watch Tim Burton's Big Fish and you'll get what I mean.
To God be all glory; we have these treasures in fragile jars of clay that no one may mistake our victories for the power and truth and triumph of God.
Amen.
(The title of this post is a silly pun Kee Aun, Suit Lin and I came up with while on the train from Taman Jaya to Masjid Jamek. We were heading to Pudu to get the film developed.)
Edit (6.50 p.m. 27 March):
It was very generous of the UM authorities to put up a notice for the musical on those signboards flanking the road in front of the library. Not only was there a notice, it was the first time (as far as I can remember) the words were in colour.
"Sambutan Hari Paska [in red]
Easter Celebration"
Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of it.

lets do it all over again! :D
Ya, let's stage it somewhere public, like Actors Studio or KLPac or Panggung Bandaraya or Istana Budaya the Esplanade or the Sydney Opera House or Broadway or the West End...
