Anthropology 2007: TWO

This is the second installment to the 4 performances SPL is doing this year and this is my last performance of the year i think.
Wow.
I'm drained, suffering from this syndrome called performer's fatigue, if there's such a phrase.
Ever since Excess Baggage (which was 4 solid months of hard work), I have not stopped memorising lines, memorising blockings, pushing my emotions to extreme spectrums from being a deranged maid to a high-pitched airhead.
Man, can i just say i've done it all and i'll be contentedly happy with what i have done and i will start some serious mugging. Really, with all these performances and emceeing stints, i'm feeling quite drained.
Last night was HwaChong Nite 2007. Sorry folks, no photos (they're all on my friends' cameras cos i forgot to bring mine), though i thought my attire was pretty cool but i dont think i did a great job at being an emcee. could have done better. not my best. guess it's the last minute thing. my nerves were pretty frazzled by the end of the event. and i had to sing the opening number and it was kind of awkward - the emcee singing the opening song... not really glam... and i didn't memorise the song lyrics cos my brain refuses to cooperate with me so i sang with a cue card which was really quite unprofessional... i dont think i sang very well... but it was a good first attempt... probably there'll be more opportunities to come. haha!
I keep saying i'm tired but i don't know if i can get used to life once everything ends...
and Lehman Brothers didn't reply me about Easter. i'm wondering if there's anything wrong with my CV cos i've applied for several stuff but nobody replies to my applications.. it's irritating.. i mean, i don't think i'm that bad and if nobody gives me a start, i'll never get the experience... this is demoralising... i'm hoping there'll be some form of divine intervention, either make me smarter, or let me get through even the first round of applications!!!

Excess Baggage No More

Yup, haven't posted in ages... been so freaking busy with the musical... and in a blinking of an eye, it all came to an end... all the rehearsals, all the joking, all the laughing, all the crazy antics like doing the prawn dances, being a bimbo have all come to an end... but the friendships forged are just beginning to grow, burgeon and flourish... looking forward to the day when all in our 50s and we can look back and say, ' that was a whale of a show!' Yes, we funky people will still be doing our prawn dances to that day!

Yes, Excess Baggage rocks!
Dreams do come true! :)

The Bath Abbey!

The Bath Abbey

lazy me shall just put down the history of Christainity in Bath from the pamphlet i got at the abbey ad verbatim.

Bath was a sacred place long before history started to be written down. Celtic people worshipped the goddess Sulis at the hot springs before the Romans came to Britain in 43 AD. They quickly took control of the southern part of the country including Bath, which they called Aquae Sulis, or the place of goddess Sulis' springs. Building work on the baths complex probablyy started between 60-70AD.

The movement of people and goods within the Roman Empire eventually brought Christainity to Britain and by around 350AD there were Christains in Bath. Around 400 AD, the romans began to leave Britain as the Empire started to crumble.

Between 500 and 600 AD Saxons arrived in Britain, at first as raiders but they became settlers. There is no written evidence but it is most likely that Christainity continued to be practised in and around Bath during these years.

Still at the Roman Baths...
