This was done by Mr LonelyIsAnEyesore, a publicity shoot for Najib(Bijan)'s comeback directorial for M1 Fringe next year. This will be my first time in a piece directed by Najib, whom I have been wanting to work with for so long.

The Comedy of The Tragic Goats

The Comedy of the Tragic Goats
Cake Theatrical Productions

Synopsis
The Goat Head was an artist. His most famous work, a magnificent blueprint of a utopian city.
One day as the Goat Head and his expectant wife appear to address the public, a gunshot is fired and the dictator is assassinated. Dissidents stage a coup and gain control of the country. A massive hunt is launched for all goats. All goats are wanted. All goats are hunted. After a time of purging, the dust finally settles.

Several years later two prisoners, Munsee and Boo wait behind bars.
Then word comes. The most wanted Goat has surfaced. The Goat from the expectant belly. The feared successor. The hunt resumes. The Goat could be anyone, teacher, astronaut, deep-sea diver, doctor. The Goat could be anything, fat, man, hairy, woman.
When a blueprint resembling the Goat Head’s Utopia is found in their prison cell, all eyes turn. Could one of them be the Goat? Munsee, a university student imprisoned for participating in a demonstration or Boo a construction worker for assaulting his supervisor. The interrogation begins.

Munsee or Boo? Which clown is the culprit?

The Comedy of the Tragic Goats is a tale of two clowns who dance and play to fend disaster away.

Happiness in Slavery

Mr Lonely is An Eye Soar, Goat's rehearsal, Cake Theatre, Singapore.


One of the 8 photos I submitted for the Museum Show, nothing spectacular, but I just love the view of Buangkok.

Milking Mermaids will be postponed till further notice, apparently, there were some issues that caused all of this to happen. The same old issue that we have been facing a decade ago, power and positions... how can we defeat that?

Yasmin Ahmad passed away last Saturday, I have been a fan of her works since Sepet, I was really looking forward to her first full length to be shot in Singapore. But I guess that will never happen...
She passed away a month after Michael Jackson, and Merce Cunningham passed away on Sunday night. It seems all these geniuses are disappearing every month, I am not sure of how to react to this, too much to handle, its pretty gloomy I would say.

Is Blogging still In?

I haven't been really active in the cyberspace like how I used to. The reason is probably because I am too busy with life that at the end of the day I am too tired to put in any entry. Maybe that is how it works, but I am not ready to shut down this site as yet. Probably because of some sentimental reason and I am just wondering is blogging is still da thing, maybe I am out of touch, heard about Twitter though, I am not interested in that at all.

Well, I will use this space to put up on what I have been doing lately, maybe that is more worth it. It is a nice feeling of writing your thoughts when you have the time. Anyway, I have been busy with loads of stuff.

Here's the list:

July: National History Museum, "Spot n Shoot" (commissioned work)
August: Cake Theatre's The Comedy of The Tragic Goats, directed by Fared Jainal
October: Cake Theatre's Melt, directed by Me
