So the other day I received a FB inbox message from a guy I don't usually talk to. It's kinda a "Hi-Bye" friend in my faculty. I was kinda doubting what he wanted me to do. To vote for you in a FB contest you currently joining? Not again? But apparently it is not something I'm expecting. He asked me whether if I am interested to join a musical organised by a bunch of UPM students under the course "Play Production".
And the musical is Les Miserables.
LES MISERABLES.
And then I was like, ARE YOU EVEN F-ING SERIOUS?
FOR REAL?
The movie Les Miserables is the first musical movie I've watched and I LOVE EVERY PART OF IT. It's so perfectly done. The storyline was perfect, the casts were perfect, and the movie is a BOMB.
I literally cried like 5 times throughout the whole movie. (Of course lah, before the cinema's light on back, I still manage to wipe my tears, in case,... you know, it's quite embarrassing for a guy having a sobby eyes looking at your friends)
So the moment I got the offer from this guy, I was like, WHY NOT? LET'S DO IT! 老子没在怕。
Although it's just a very small role, but I have the instinct telling me not to miss this opportunity or I'll regret for life.
I did know that my tests were gonna held on the same week with the performance days. And I know this semester, my academic performance is everything to me. But I still take up the offer, for the sake of my... interest.
I did feel regret afterward. (like a few hours after I say YES)
Rehearsals are time-consuming. And I can barely squeeze out some of my time to read up some notes, which eventually didn't manage to keep them in my brain though.
What's worse is that when some of my tests were postponed to the week of the performance days, which turned out I have 4 tests and 1 presentation consecutively on the SAME DAMN WEEK.

This is definitely depressing.
No choice. It's something I've chosen to be. So the thing I can do was only to stay up late everyday to finish up the stack of notes.
I cannot afford to go in the examination hall with my brain empty.
It was quite a "roller coaster" week for me.
So many mixed feelings.
The seconds before my performing scene was so ganjiong, the moment after the whole show was so satisfying, and the time when I rush back to college to prepare for my exam was so pathetic. wtf

But everything paid it off lah.
I met a bunch of talented people in the musical theatre team.

This is kinda the first time I joined something that is not organised by our faculty. And I realise there is a really big difference between the students in our faculty and the "main-camp" people. (we normally categorise people who are not from our faculty as the Main Campus' students)
Everyone there is so nice to me! I know lah I am a keh-leh-feh and a last-minute-join-in, but every single one of them didn't want me to feel that way. It's really cool lah.
They've been training for months and I was there for days only. Too bad I didn't get to know them so well. But if I do, I think they are definitely peoples that worth-to-be-friends-with.
And then I learnt a lot from production team also lah. How musical theatre is being carried out, how the lecturer train their casts, how to sing correctly and stuff like that. Lecturer even ask the casts to lie down on the stage and "make love" to the stage. This is something so abstract that AN ENGINEER WILL NOT GO THROUGH.
Curtain calls.
Today is the day that my result has been keyed in into my SMP.
I've prepared for the worst for my tests' result.
I know how much I did.
But guess what?
IT IS SURPRISINGLY SATISFYING!
AHHHHHH! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOMENT EVER IN MY LIFE !
I JUST SHOT 2 BIRDS WITH A STONE. *punch fist to the air up high*

To be a part of the musical theatre is so much fun.
TBH lah, I learnt a lot leh.
Learn a lot as in to be able to let go to do something that I want to do, to be able to bare the consequences of taking risk, etc etc lah.
P/S: HAHA.
I was smiling the whole time when I'm typing this post, this post is way too lengthy for a keh-leh-feh cast to write. But who cares? 老子没在怕
