"其实 我知道我跟他在一起是快乐 得,
但我心里面的伤,
还 是会 痛。"
Spoiler ahead..(if u are watching this play on Sunday)
-
Managed to catch this play! Truely enjoyed the entire show even though the whole setting is just focusing on one scene (or rather 4..since its suppose to be 4 hotel rooms)..
-
A scene involving a man (acting by 4 different guys though) who attempts to make ammends..only to find out later that perhaps his true intentions of meeting his exs were to reconfirm his decision of him marrying the right one…
-
As the play goes..it brought out many aspects of emotional scars.. how a guy could hurt 4 very different girls in 4 very different scenerios:
—————————–
Girl A
High school sweetheart…how a girl is tormented by rumours she heard and kept wanting to know who he dumped her for and brought to for the prom…all she ever wanted to know was a name….
-
Girl B
A younger girl whoese 1st kiss was stolen and learned about her sexuality and grew up faster then the rest… her yearning towards her bro’s good fren…
-
GIrl C
An elder married women who was having an affair with this guy..and had to become stronger and relationship between her and her husband grew when she was found out… a very strong character who was obviously bittered about the entire ending of the guy running away…and wanting to hurt him back the way he did to her…
-
Girl D
A LA girl…who in appearance treats the entire sega very lightly..yet when dig deeper always wanted to know if there was anything between him and her twin….Smart, direct and probably the one who could see through his colours…
——————
Its interesting to note how the girls are from different parts of the world..and how to me…felt tt their character could possible fit into the country they are in…
-
With 4 different scenerios…4 different kinds of girls and phases in life..you could perhaps relate in some pt of time to 1 another…
Essentially it boils down to the fact of the guy’s commitment… each time he felt tt there was a certain level of commitment…he runs away (as brought out by his girls)… mia for 3 - 15 yrs with no level of contact…. yet as he come back now trying to make ammends and apologizing..it was too late…
-
As one of the girls pointed out… "there are consequences to our actions…people get hurt as a result"… all 4 girls were hurt and affected in some way…
-
As different as they may be…Sweet nothings and empty promises of the future deluded all 4 of them…Yet all 4 of them ever wanted was the same thing…was that they mattered and not just Some Girl(s)…and perhaps..that is true to mani of us…
It has been a damn long time since I last blog..
Well some upcoming theatre productions I want to catch are an Excuse to Party (happening this wk!) and Some Girl(s)..Any1 interested, pleassseee catch it with know… A synopsis with website details of the 2 theatre productions:
-
An Excuse to Party
27 – 30 Dec 2007
27 & 28 Dec at 8pm
30 Dec at 3pm & 8pm
$38
-
An Excuse to Party? is about three girl friends whose New Year’s Eve does not quite turn out the way they planned. Made up of three couple stories which intertwine, we have:
- The rich, spoilt girl locked in the dingy toilet of a petrol station. Her rescuer, a mechanic, offers an indecent proposal to get her out.
- The depressed lawyer held hostage by a gay robber at a convenience store. A strange but not uneasy relationship ensues where both clothes and stereotypes are stripped.
- The fun-loving singer who goes to great lengths to break up with her Pastor-to-be boyfriend including crashing his car.
A comedy that satires materialism, stereotyping and emotional intimacy vs. physical intimacy. Underlying comedy, the production is also a timely reminder about the realities of life, such as the ‘jadedness’ of those in the fast track.
An Excuse to Party? isn’t social commentary but a gleeful overturning of expectations and values we take for granted. Naughty but nice.

Some Girl(s) - Neil LaBute
ACSian Theatre Alumni Play
The Substation Theatre

Your career as a writer is blossoming, your beautiful, young fiancée
is waiting to get married and rush off to Cancun by your side, so what
is your natural reaction? Well, if you’re a man, it’s probably to get
nervous and start calling up old girlfriends.
And so begins a single man’s odyssey through four hotel rooms as he
flies across the United States in search of the perfect woman (that
he’s already broken up with).
By turns humorous and serious, this portrait of a young seducer
casts a truthful, hilarious light on a typical American male as he
wanders through the heart of darkness that is himself. Dually
instructive to both men and women: he will find it a handy field manual
in ‘how-to,’ she will find it a horror story bathed in truth.”
*Yummy* Cupcakes…still miss thoese I ate in Zouk Anniversery with the creamy fillings on the top… Found another website called CCup Luxury Gourmet… filled with pretty pretty cupcakes…Awaiting for my Cupcake pool party…Gotta start planning & ordering soon…
Tears
there are the tears of innocence
the kind that never end
the ones you don’t know why you’re crying
but they still come
there are the tears of anger
the kind that come after the slamming of the door
the kind that make you even more mad
than before because you let yourself cry
there are the tears of sadness
the kind that come from deep within
the kind that come from after a death
or after losing your one and only true love
there are tears of fear
the ones that come after the piercing scream
the ones that come in the darkness through shivers
there are tears of joy
the kind that come after the first breathe of a baby
the kind a mother cries when she holds her baby for the first time
the kind that come when a military man comes home
and his wife runs into his arms

"When a girl cries it doesnt mean she’s weak..
If a girl cries in front of u..it means that she couldnt take it anymore. If u take her hand, she would stay with u for the rest of ur life; If u let her go, she couldnt go back to being herself anymore.
A girl wont cry easily, except in front of the person whom she loves the most, she becomes weak.
A girl wont cry easily, only when she loves u the most, she puts down her ego.
Guys, if a girl cries bcoz of u, please hold her hands firmly, coz she’s the one who is willing to stay with u 4 for the rest of ur life.
Guys, if a girl cries bcoz of u, please dont give her up, maybe bcoz of ur decision, u ruin her life. When she cries rite in front of u, when she cries bcoz of u, Look into her eyes, Can u see n feel the pain n hurt she’s feeling? Think. Which other girl have cried with pure sincerity, n front of u, AND bcoz of u?
She cries not because she is weak,
She cries not bcoz she wants sympathy or pity,
She cries, Because crying silently is no longer possible, the pain, hurt n agony have bcome too big a burden to be kept inside.
Guys, Think about it, If a girl cries her heart out to u, And all because of u, Its time to look back on wat u have done, Only u will know the answer to it. Do consider it, Coz one day, It may b too late for regrets, It may b too late to say "im sorry"…
Don’t always think u are right all the times, think carefully, everyone has a responsible for everything that they did, she may did wrong but who makes her do wrong?
A girl always need protection;
A girl always need care;
A girl always need someone beside her to comfort her when she’s sad;
A girl always need support that came from the guy that she loves when she’s down, not from the friends who are always beside her.
Guys, don be too demanding. It will cause you to lose a girl that you love the most in your life."
