"Eh! How's your rehearsals for Lat (the kampung boy) coming up?"
"Excellent! We're planning to bring it back to Ipoh soon"
"Really?! Awesome! Like me, I really had a good time la when we did the second Cuci cuci the Musical the other day, you guys sure will la for Lat"
"OMG, you were really good during Terima Kasih Cinta the musical. I managed to catch it the other day"
"Hey! I watched it too, and I loved the lil girl, she's so talented"
"Were you in it too Alia?"
"Errr....I said I went to watch la! Not perform.... :S"
"Ahhh. What was your first performance? Mine was Puteri Gunung Ledang"
-____-
"I can still back out now, right?.... I. AM. A.... Banker. The only time I sing is when I'm counting those money"
Everyone stared at me blankly.... That's really a sign for me to leave, no?
Of course NOT! It's an opportunity I should grab! :)
THE MOST AMAZING Press Conference I've been invited to! EVER!
With Indi, Cheryl, Dina, Dafi, Marvin and Joy
Mind blowing!
Like you guys don't already know it? DREAMGIRLS will be staged this July,

This week was the start of it all. All of us cast have started on our full day rehearsals! ... and of course I nearly died from exhaustion!! Training for Broadway IS NOT EASY ok. And then, what with juggling Broadway, Work and YCM. But one thing's for sure, I had one of the most amazing Broadway training today with Joanna Bessey (Dreamgirls' Director), Megat Sharizat (Assistant Director) and the best part was during choreography session with Michael Xavier Voon (Choreographer). Did I tell you that my team is super amazing! They're a bunch of great happiness!
Mind you, this would be my first production, and I am super excited! Why, who (in my shoes) wouldn't be? I'm the only Banker. Get the picture? The rest of my team are none other than our very own Malaysian artists, singers, performers, actors and actresses! Pressure much? I nearly fainted, I swear to God. What have I gotten myself into? I'm OMG-no-where close to them! LOL.
Do you get it now, why I am so very very happy and privileged to be in this production? It's like a once-in-a-lifetime-dream-come-true to perform with talents that Malaysia has produced and Malaysians are proud of! :):):)
So, what are you waiting for?! Get your tickets here at
P/s : Stay tuned for sneak previews of our rehearsals and what happens back stage. Free tickets you asked? Hmmm...
