As Suanie Sees It

My sister and I caught Actorlympics earlier, it was my second Actorlympics show since… erm my first Actorlympics show?

This language thing is so hard.

Afdlin Shauki, Douglas Lim, Reza, Joanna Bessey and one Actorlympic virgin whose name I can’t recall at the moment were darn brilliant, fantastic and pain-inducing — I laughed too much that I wanted to pee and laugh some more at the same time. Very painful. I don’t recommend it, so remember to empty your bladder prior to watching the show.

Had a drink with Douglas after the show, ‘cos he’s friends with my sister and they had lots to talk about etc etc. Found out that he will be in a Gavin Yap play, in Clive Barker’s Frankenstein In Love. I am not familiar with the storyline but since it’s Gavin Yap, I know it’s going to be disturbing. If you don’t believe me, check out this synopsis I copied from the KLPac site:

Inspired by Mary Shelly’s classic horror story, Frankenstein in Love is acclaimed horror writer Clive Barker’s updated interpretation of the terrifying tale.

It is the last few days of the world. Human life has become meaningless as mass genocide and sickness spread throughout the land. Revolutionaries loot and pillage for answers, the faithless betray the faithful, the dead refuse to die and one name stands out amidst the screams… Frankenstein.

A sprawling collection of variations on the idea of human vivisection and reconstruction set in a grim, Gothic world of putrefaction. An unlikely place for love to emerge…but it does, forming a bizarre, tragic love triangle between the creator and his creations.

Quite a reputation the young director is getting, eh?

Other familiar faces in the play are Patrick Teoh, Rashid Salleh, Melissa Maureen, Reza, Mano Maniam and U-En. OMG U-EN!!! That’s it, my ticket’s booked

The play begins 27th October and ends 3rd November. No, I’m not getting paid to promote it

Here’s an obligatory camwhore photo.

That’s right, I have weird fingers.

You’d think twice now before messing with me.

Else I’d finger you.

And that would hurt.

Bwaha. Bwahahaha. Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Been reading Bill Clinton’s autobiography My Life since forever… or one and a half weeks but I can’t even get past a quarter of the book. And I’m a pretty fast reader, but this one kinda got me. Maybe ‘cos I don’t really understand the intricates of American politics… heck, I don’t understand the intricates of Malaysian politics… what’s my point again?

Riveting stuff though, just taking me a long while. Maybe I should ditch it for a bit and read some pointless short stories or something. Or Cleo. That stuff is pretty much brain-dead zone.
