The Ignatius Trail



Well, apart from the little misfortunate incident which happened today, I was glad that I met up with Jennifer for a play at The Actors Studio, Bangsar. She was kind enough to invite me to The Ignatius Trail, a play from Scotland which won the Edinburgh Festival 2004 award.

This was my first visit to the Actors Studio since 7 years ago when I attended my first ever play in Dataran Putra which was right beneath Dataran Merdeka. I still remembered watching Edwin Sumun and Jo Kukathas but don't ask me the name of the play, cause I can't remember! Edwin Sumun wore this pair of jeans which got a big hole at the butt ; GOSH! That's why I can remember so well :) Hahahhaha~

Anyway, the play was a light one about peace-loving pirates (I'd call them wimpy) of a ship called the Yellow Flower ( since when pirates have ships which sounded so feminine?!) who met a pirate inspector called Celia Salt(do not call her "c-salt") . She had a plan to turn them into bloodthirsty, ferocious evil pirates .... and the laughter began...

The crowd - full of kids who are probably International School kids who are having their summer holiday right now. They just laugh their hearts out and scream when they want to durnig the play - happy kids:) Ohh, we even saw Ahmad Izham, the 8tv CEO who brought us Malaysian Idol into our idiot boxes!

When the going gets tough...

I hate making this site sound like a complaint site - but nothing is worst than this:
I was attending the e-security seminar today in MINES Convention center . My boss and I were walking up to the elevator towards the small seminar room which had a talk about WIMAX when suddenly my white sandals decided to give way and SNAP!!! To my horror, the white piece of PVC where I slip my toes in between was torn into two pieces! Really, THAT was the one and only link which makes the sandals wearable!

OK, there I was - stuck- because I can't walk any further, not that I didn't try , but really I can't, plus I wasn't driving this morning, so I had no extra pair of shoes which I can change into. My boss is with me, but he isn't a female, so he won't be able to help me buy a new pair of shoes in Mines shopping mall. The mall is at least 5 minutes of walk away...

So what did I do? I took off my sandals, and walked BAREFOOTED all the way from the convention center to the mall which was 5 minutes away, saw a shoe shop and walked straight into it and bought the first pair of shoes I saw! Didn't care about the comfort - just needed a pair of shoes!

Thank God I was wearing a pair of long black pants and there was Mines to the rescue. I'd be in deep trouble had the expo been held in some unknown convention centers without any shops! His grace is sufficient! Hehehehe... :)

Umm.. the whole episode was kinda comical - I think my boss was about to laugh at me :'( ; not mentioning all those macho guys who probably must be thinking that I'm some siau girl- "What on earth is this girl doing walking around barefooted in public? We only see this in Thaipusam right?!"

Talk about when the going gets tough!

Future?

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? What are your plans? Where do you plan to go from here?

Any answers?

No. At least not today. Hopefully I know it in the not-so-distant-future. I need that direction.
