First proper rehearsal for Morning at Memory's Border began today at 5pm. After taking some time before Raj came to teach Lyn "Flying", we went about learning the opening dance. After the practice, we headed to Ubin Seafood (at Sixth Avenue) for dinner, because the madams needed to talk to me about making the tickets for the performance. I reached home at about 12.30am.

And since we're on the subject:

"A Christmas Carol" Post-Production Party

The "A Christmas Carol" Post-Production Party was held tonight at Suraj's house. I was the second to show up (after Viknesh). As time passed people started to turn up, including Mrs Creffield, Ms Wong, the lead actor David and Lindis, the only other female to turn up on time. While nibbling on snacks at the foyer and waiting for the sun to set and the sky to darken, a whole bunch of girls finally showed up; they had apparently met up at Kranji MRT station to come to Suraj's house together.

The buffet naturally consisted of mainly Indian food, most of which are rather hot and spicy too. I had two helpings back to back and ended up feeling bloated. We blasted music and occasional dancing and banghra occurred. Throughout the night a couple of other people showed up too, including Mrs Creffield's friend Mr. Aaron Maniam, the other two "ghosts" Judith and Yi Jun, Jayne, Ethel, Meixi and Meiyi.

As the night stretched to 10pm, there was less dancing going on, partly due to the rain which came in the middle of the party. A big group shifted into Suraj's room to chat, while a couple more chilled out outside. Small groups of people also started heading home, but I heard that a number of them intended to stay overnight. Though I could stay overnight (my parents are away in Malacca), I wasn't exactly prepared to, so I left around midnight.

But, honestly, I didn't want to leave. It's been quite some time since I've had so much fun. Sigh.

"A Christmas Carol" ended its 4-show run last night. I wasn't exactly totally satisfied with my performance throughout the four shows, but I did the best I could. I'm currently sitting at home and suffering from a bad cold...ah, the theatre withdrawal syndrome!

"A Christmas Carol" is coming soon, and the work is progressing nicely. Somehow I just feel there's so much stuff left to be done. Did I feel the same way just before Camelot? I think so. One thing's for sure; I can't wait for it to start.

Update on our sales: Saturday (26th November) night show is sold out. Say WOW! I'm still currently holding on to Saturday matinee tickets (2pm), so if you're free on Saturday afternoon and have $20 to spare, why not come watch "A Christmas Carol"? Better still, get your friends to come watch the show, spend a few more dollars to buy Christmas hats and fully enjoy a November Christmas!
