Blackforest In A Cup
June 18th, 2006
you know how on the days that you totally need lucidity and projection of voice, as well as clarity of mind, those are the days you get a cold for no good reason?! not funny man. i woke up this morning feeling like utter shit. which is bad. because i said so.
despite feeling like one big sore red nose, i dragged my flu-bitten butt out of bed at 10am to go to … a flea market!!! such motivation! :D :D i thought i could feel my flu going away at the prospect of all the potential fun at the Fairview International School’s flea market, but then when we got there and saw the totally pathetic state of the flea market, my flu came back full force.
fairview’s flea market
the ‘flea market’ had probably like 6 stalls. all selling really strange overpriced junk that no one would buy. plus it was eerily quiet, had no music, and .. no people. yeah. we spent all of 2 minutes there before heading off to another flea market - at Micasa Hotel this time.
now THAT was a flea market!!!
it was awesome - lots and lots of food and drinks and cakes and even a mini chocolate fountain! they had the usual flea market knick-knacks and second hand clothes as well, but man, all praise goes to the fooooood. we went crazy just buying all the different kinds of food being sold. yum :D
went to SS2 for dessert after that, at the weirdly named Hong Kong placed called SOD. wanted tong yuen but nooooo they had to be bitchy and decide not to serve us that. they also decided to ask us warily why we were taking pictures of the food. tiu. what is with people and this rule that says you cannot take photographs of food in their restaurants?!?! what, you think i’m going to plant a bomb in your french toast issit?
we ended up being a tad late for the play audition we had to attend. now you know why i need my voice and clarity of mind :( irritatingly, i was still sniffly come audition time, and didnt really get better even though i laughed like a maniac when Ivan scratched his car while making an illegal u-turn. hehehehhee. HEHEHEHE. the audition sucked though. went REALLY bad for both of us, and i highly doubt either of us will make the callbacks.
actually, what the hell was i doing, going for play auditions with ivan? the last time we did this, he got the part he tried out for and i didnt. HE FARKING DID AND I FARKING DIDNT. yes, i was very jealous then, and to a certain extent still quite bitter today. ivan, if you make the callbacks this time around, you can only accept it if i make the callbacks too, okay?!
anyway blahblablah, completed sucky audition, and upon doing that, met this guy who also came to audition, who on first sight, immediately reminded me of Suet’s boyfriend Barry. i was like wah, this guy is his twin! and then he had to introduce himself as GARY! barry = gary? such similar sounding names! but i just kept quiet and layaned him while he pestered us for information on the audition, like ’so what did they make you do? what did they make you say? anything extra besides reading the script? how did you interpret the characters?’ rarrrrrrrr. gave him all the information he wanted to know, exchanged phone numbers, told him we have to go like now cos we have another audition to attend, gave him the contact info for THAT audition as well cos we are so magnanimous like that, then we left.
in the car, ivan told me that Gary’s surname is Ooi. and i was like WAH REALLY AH! Suet’s bf surname is also Ooi! so maybe Barry and Gary are brothers and have another brother named Larry! to complicate things further, when we bumped into Gary at the 2nd audition (such destiny we have), he told us that he lives in USJ. so by that time i was SUPER SURE that he was Barry’s brother, but of course, it turns out to be just one big fat coincidence that they have similar first names, share the same surname, live in the same area and look like twins. yeah. all just one big fat coincidence.
ANYWAY I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, IVAN AND I WERE NOT CASTED FOR THE SECOND AUDITION BUT THIS GARY GUY WAS.
BLOODY HELL, HE CALLED ME TO GLOAT SOME MORE.
OMG.
TULAN!!! IVAN AND I CANNOT ACT ISSIT NOW?!?!?!?!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. here is a pic of me with Ivan’s car cos it’s very funny that he scratched his car, then got so worked up over a scratch that nobody can see.
we went to mid valley after that to go shopping for our respective daddies’ fathers day gifts. while there, we saw a totally awesome Ford Cruiser ad -
HAHA! pwned! Ford is 0wnage!
Ivan developed conjunctivitis after that (boy, not your day) and so i was left to wander alone for a bit before meeting Isa at Bangsar for dinner. we ate at Delicious, and it’s really funny to eat at a place with someone who used to work there cos he can tell you all the funniest shit about the establishment. like did you know that Delicious’ pastry chef is a woman named Rock?! and that the head chef is a man named Mimi?! like wtf? but nvm lah, cos their cakes are so good.
one of the quips on the uniforms of Delicious’ waiters
after dinner, we went to Fete De La Musique cos we had friends’ bands playing. i was really confused because i thought the event was going to be held on all of the Telawi streets, but it ended up just being on ONE. and it seemed like even that street was only a quarter full? what kind of street music party is this! very tak jadi. everyone was pissed and annoyed and not having a good time. the event coulda been executed better.
Isa and I ended up actually NOT seeing any of our friends play?! we escaped to Alexis for a tete-a-tete till midnight. i later met up with Azlan, and we headed to the new place in town, Ruums, cos Bass Agents were playing there tonight. it’s at Life Center, where Warp and Channel used to be, a.k.a the two most lala and jinjang clubs in town. so i’m just wondering how long it’ll take before Ruums succumbs to the stigma of having their club in Life Center. it looked okay tonight though. great music :)
now i am back home, with my flu also back full force. i am mega depressed because 1. colds are the most horrible thing on earth, and 2. i wanted to get ice cream earlier but i forgot all about it until it was too late and 3. i didnt pass the 2nd audition. WHY. WHY. WHY.
edit : i made the callbacks after all :)
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

the speed at which you narrated this entry left me a bit dazed :P
i read about the micasa flea market from another blog…sounds like fun man! :/ i wanna go flea markets too! especially when i’m kinda close to being broke… :P
er…you can get the ice cream today, later?
2. TheRealAnonymous | June 18th, 2006 at 9:42 am
1. Clarinase, Benadryl or Cirrus. Take a pick. =)
2. Sorry to hear the audition didn’t work out. Don’t let it dampen your spirits just yet… not getting the role doesn’t mean you can’t act, just means you aren’t what they’re looking for (i’m sure they’re looking for a certain personality as well).
3. You very da happening! So much things to do in 1 day… I wish I could be that happening too. Summore dragging your butt around with a cold… *salute*
4. Dun laa so mean laugh at ur friend’s car. Any guy would be hurt if their car was scartched. Cars are men’s 2nd wife.
5. Delicious rox.

What was the audition for :O? A Pepsi ad or something? Or was it a new Malaysian teen oscar-winning movie the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Hillary Duff and Jonathan Ling?
4. Adrian C | June 18th, 2006 at 11:04 am
I’m dazed too. Information overload. o_O
5. D | June 18th, 2006 at 11:23 am

6. Ricky | June 18th, 2006 at 2:33 pm
some people who been to a few plays or mingle with a few actors. actually ……in a bizzare manner…think they can act. jsut becuz THEY Seen some plays at KL PAC. so. simply put, maybe it isn’t ur forte?
7. pinkpau | June 18th, 2006 at 2:46 pm
entwined : haha the micasa flea market was soooo much better than fairview’s. and yeah i went out for ice cream this afternoon :D
therealanonymous : 1. clarinase!! 2. thanks for the kind words of sympathy :) means a lot, especially when i’m down in the blues. hey anyway i did make the callbacks after all, heehee! 3. omg colds are so horrible 4. HAHA thats why its so funny!! 5. TOTALLY.
jon : both were for plays! :D
D : haha cos they said if we were picked for callbacks, they’d call us that very night. didnt get a call, so i assumed i wasnt picked :P
ricky : maybe it is, since i did make the callbacks after all :) and perhaps it isnt the wisest thing to make uninformed sweeping statements when one doesnt know the background of another.

9. Colin Charles | June 18th, 2006 at 5:11 pm
how’d you find out that fairview had a flea market? that was my alma mater, back in the day when they weren’t even on Jalan Ampang :P
sorry to hear it sucked. i recall it being a whole heap more fun ages ago, but things have changed, most certainly
10. expectation | June 18th, 2006 at 5:37 pm

12. MichelleShinyi | June 18th, 2006 at 8:37 pm
Hey, don’t be too downcast on not getting callbacks, you might be treading the floorboards of some stage very soon - so believe in your abilities (of which I think you have, in plentiful supply) and break a leg (well, not literally:) !
Yeah, colds suck!! All I seem to get every winter in Aus is flus of every description, one after another - euwwwwww!!
Break a leg and take care!
13. justakid | June 18th, 2006 at 8:52 pm
u made the callbacks after all! hehe.. congrats..
14. Jon | June 18th, 2006 at 9:48 pm
OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!! PinkPau’s gonna be a celebrity superstar now :P
15. Emily T | June 18th, 2006 at 10:27 pm
Haha yeah, the Fete de la Musique was a huge, huge disappointment. Alot of college bands pulled out for unknown reasons and performances on the other Telawi street was cancelled. Four stages were supposed to be set up in different venues but in the end it was only down to three. The only captivating performance was the Capoeira! So much for having faith in my co-organizer college!
16. MichelleShinyi | June 18th, 2006 at 10:57 pm
Major Oooooops - sorry, I didn’t spot the update right at the end saying you HAD made the callbacks. So, congrats are in order!!!! Will we see you over the footlights/ on the screen anytime soon?
17. pinkpau | June 18th, 2006 at 11:32 pm
foreverjas : unfortunately all that eating is catching up on me :P my metabolism has just taken a sudden downturn :(
colin charles : where did fairview use to be? anyways why’s the flea market so .. small?!
expectation : aiks. but near USJ right! so that counts also right! and this play is for The Shape Of Things by Neil Labute
jlwk : haha yup
jon : omg no la. it’s only a play :)
emily t : really? i only saw like .. two stages! two of my friends’ bands were supposed to perform at bangsar village, and la bodega, but both canceled. so sad la the situation! missed the capoeira tho
michelleshinyi : haha t’is okie :) i’ll remember your wise words for the next time i dont make an audition’s cut. god knows i’ll need them then!
18. bulat | June 19th, 2006 at 12:17 am
wheee congrats!!! must inform us so we can come see you shine: D
19. oppy | June 19th, 2006 at 1:00 am
hahaha, CONGRATULATIONS! does this mean you’re definitely in now? what play is that??
20. Cat-chan | June 19th, 2006 at 9:40 am
Hey, congrats on making the callbacks~
Will read here for updates on which play this is and what part you got, since I can’t watch you… =^^=
All the best~
21. Colin Charles | June 19th, 2006 at 12:19 pm
it used to be on jalan ampang, then it moved to jalan u thant, and now its in a new premise in jalan ampang (i’ve never been there though).
why is it small? no idea. bad organisation skills? things surely have changed, i guess
22. Ginny | June 19th, 2006 at 9:52 pm
cool =D if u get it MUST TELL ME ARH! so i can come watch.. nyehehehhehee
23. foreverjas | June 19th, 2006 at 11:25 pm
aww!! u’re a star!! :D
24. pinkpau | June 19th, 2006 at 11:58 pm
bulat : that’s if i get the role! highly doubt i will .. but fingers crossed!!
oppy : i just got a call today saying i made the second callbacks, which is TOTALLY awesome! one step closer now, i’m really excited but trying not to be too hopeful :P knowing my luck (and lack of talent!) i probably wont get the role!
catchan : thank youuu!! :) *hugs
colin : haha oh okay all 3 places arent too far apart .. :)
ginny : of course .. :) though i’m trying not to get my hopes up.
foreverjas : no la! not casted ler, just made the callbacks!
25. Jay | June 20th, 2006 at 12:23 am
I wonder if this will work…
Coolness. So, did you buy anything at the fair besides food? Oh. Auditions! Hmmm. If this makes anything, and I doubt it will, but you can have a part in any work I do. I’ll even write a character for you, that is if I ever write something. Oh. Callback! Congrats. So, what’s the details of the production? What’s the story? What’s the role? Can I direct? =P
26. Joyce Tan | June 20th, 2006 at 1:49 am
Micasa flea market sounds like fun. Do they have it every weekend or what?
27. TheRealAnonymous | June 20th, 2006 at 9:17 am
Oh wow… CONGRATS on the late callbacks. =)
Guess we’d all be expecting to see pinkpau in theathe action soon! =)
28. director | June 20th, 2006 at 12:42 pm
just want to say u look cute in those picture ^_^
29. I know why | June 20th, 2006 at 3:18 pm
The real deal why the stage was brought down at the two other venues.
1. La Bodega, college bands playing rock and being way too loud pissed off La Bodega from supplying the electricity mid way
2. Bangsar Village, cheerleaders + rock loud music x being near a mosque = you know why la.
30. pinkpau | June 20th, 2006 at 3:27 pm
jay : nope, nothing else besides food. and i am SO THERE if you ever direct anything .. :D you wanna direct this? haha you’ll have to wrestle the current director first!
joyce tan : nope, just that one day
therealanonymous : haha thankss. and no, dont expect to see me :P i still have one more audition to pass before i can get the role.
director : haha why thank you
i know why : yes, i heard .. :) but the organisers should have checked about the mosque thing beforehand. about la bodega and ronnie q’s and outback clamping down halfway .. they shouldnt have allowed them to do that. wasnt there a contract signed or anything?
31. i know why | June 20th, 2006 at 11:22 pm
nope .. no contract signed. It wasnt necessary to begin with. It was made with an understanding as it has always been with other fete (2004 and 2005 Bukit Bintang, times square, sungei wang, Changkat Tiong Nam - more restaurants there) DBKL mentioned nothing about the mosque thing. DBKL is also part of the organizing team.
having been involved with fete for so many years we seen most of the bad times. this year was bad with the closedown of so many “stages”
Whether it will happen next year, unsure, check sometime the week of June 21

[...] remember that post i wrote about a month back, about this audition that i attended with ivan? i later edited the post and said i made the callbacks, and i was REALLY happy about it. a couple of days later, i get a call saying i made the 2nd callbacks, which was so awesome, and i totally couldnt believe my luck. the next day, i was called in for final callbacks, and i got the lead female role in the 4-member cast ensemble.
