I just got back from the dreaded test which I only started studying for this morning. Can’t say I’m going to ace it, but it was alright. I just hope I make it good.
Man, this feels weird. I feel like I’m supposed to be at rehearsals right now…I guess 3 weeks of hanging out and practicing with the same people has that effect. It’s just the first night, and already I’m missing the cast. But then, I’ve never been one to let go that easily anyway, so I guess this feeling will have to go away on its own.
Its official, Mock Trial 2005 is over and done with. It’s been a honour and a pleasure to work with the cast of Phantom Reflections. I don’t know about the others, but as hectic and crazy as the past 3 weeks have been, I’ve had a blast with them. Never knew I’d come across seniors who treated us like family, who each have these great unique personalities and who I undoubtedly, hope to work with again soon.
Looking back, I won’t say I regretted auditioning. I have this list of lifetime goals…not unlike A Walk To Remember’s Jamie’s list, albeit mine’s a lot more different. Number 38 on the list: audition for something, just for fun. I did, and in the process, had the oppurtunity to spend my time with people who spiced up my typically boring days by giving me insane nights.
Last night, excitement was definitely in the air. I won’t go into much detail here, I have a feeling my words will be much better placed in my journal, but all I have to say is that we gave it our best, covered our slip ups well, did ad libs when necessary (I’ll never forget Mun’s ‘British Wannabe’ line to Zuhairy, hahaha) and basically, performed what we had spent hours working on these past few weeks.
Oh yes, I’m waging an all-out war against make-up. We had to wear layers and layers of it last night…took me three good scrubs before it went off. I didn’t know counsels had to put that stuff on…and I’m hoping against hope I didn’t look like a lost geisha in a courtroom or something. It did rattle me to have people say I looked good when I felt like a clown, but what the heck. It’s part of the job. My thanks to Muzzil for saying I looked good without make-up though. Not that it mattered and not that I cared, but it felt nice. 
I just had an idea…we should do a spin-off drama…like, life after the trial. Just an idea. =)
I don’t think I’ll continue here…I hear my journal calling. Some things are better off written, I suppose.
I once had written a short time back, during an emotional moment, ‘its funny how moments of happiness often fleet us, so quick in their flight that we are only just able to feel its sensation before it evades us, taking our breath away at its sudden departure, while moments of sadness hit us straight, its very pulse overwhelming every sense in the body, taking our breath away in its powerful intensity’.
How true. But I suppose, everything good must come to an end. And so I bid farewell to:
ASP Sharrif Khan
Intan Baidura Binti Mamak Maidin
Danial Azman bin Suffian
Ayub bin Leman
Dr. Lee Kim Seong
Dr. Anita Dzulkarnain
Amy Ariff Zainal
William Tan Quah Ming
Dr. Suraya Anwar
Dr. Akhbar
The Judge
and of course, Defence Counsels Mastura and Muzaffar, the Public Prosecutor Norman, and last but not least, I bid farewell to my character, Nor Suzana.
Enough said here.
