Audition & birthdays.
Saturday, August 23, 2008
This week has been a road of guilt. To have enjoyed it kinda sends pangs of conscience, as the impending promos draws to a near. Thank goodness I can follow with lectures and tutorials, or not this guilt would be self fulfilling in fears of retaining. The past five days passed with tired attention.
Jun De's birthday was on Wednesday, and I hurriedly prepared a lil something on top of the shared present. A foam cutout of his name, with a key ring so it can double a keychain. When I went to Made With Love on friday, I realized something like that was making money being sold. Gotta do a blogshop after promos. P: My dad's birthday was the following, and we all got a cake. Really chocolately, while I prefered something sour or tangy.. I have yet to try the reputed durian cake from Emi Cakes, it has one with coffee and durian in it. P:
Here's Jun De, birthday tau pok. :D I don't usually join in, but I have gotten my turn before, that left me quite breathless. Literally.

Don't ask me what that huge malay dude is doing. Ahmad was just curious to see where his hands would land
up.Below, a box I made for Jun De's kaychain thing. That green ribbon goes with anything. Just like cheesedale.

Thursdays really suck with the never ending timetable, but thank goodness for fridays. there were posters around our school for auditions for Channel 5/s new upcoming drama by DreamForest Productions, so we gamely took up the challenge, a first for all of us. Except for Brandon, who's acted in theaters before. There weren't vacant seats on the MRT, so we
sat at right angles, much to our discomfort. It didn't last long, haha. But it did draw some curious stares. And Hong Xiang found a new pick up line. It was painfully hilarious..

When we arrived at the studio, in some quaint area of Prinsep St near The Cathay, our gamely jab at
trying for acting had turned into anxiety and part regret. When we decided to go, we hadn't considered the depth of it. channel 5, real tv. Not like we expected to be chosen, calefares would have done us great also, but acting was like... so out of our scopes.

They could be cut out for acting. :D We waited a darn long time for our turn at the auditions, but it was partly cuz of our delay at rehearsing and the length of each take. We knew one or two actors who turned up at the auditions, but couldn't place their roles or series that they appeared in. The drama was about Singapore in 1968, revolving around a bunch of youths and their small goals.

Here's the quaint corner of the audition studio, among a bunch of cafes and studios..

Heads are shaved cuz the camera was on self timer on a cushion, and drooped a lil while it snapped. It was quite a fun experience, albeit time costly. We aren't really confident on getting any roles, but for me it opened my eyes to this avenue of work. Promos are dawning and I can't be bothered to count the days to it, solely because I'm too afraid to face the music.
Till next week. (:
