From Rose, with Love...

Again, taken with my N95 and an unsteady hand, nonetheless, pictures (for posterity) of my time with the cast of Rose, many of whom I couldn't get pictures of. However, others have (much better) pictures which I can probably link to. Later. When I'm not so tired :)

I had a great time, probably should have behaved a little better, but oh-well :) The crew was a strong one, with close-knit ties. Finally got to work (somewhat) with Tony, whom I've known for years, but never encountered professionally.

In no particular order, here are the pics from our cast party, immediately after our last show on Sunday the 11th of November, 2007.


Bella is a lovely person with a wonderful personality. Spent a lot of time on her laptop while waiting for showtime (early make-up call time lah, what to do?) playing some mystery game. It was awesome! And so's Bella :)


Carmen and moi...I play her mui-zhai, which has some benefits. One of which is I get to whap the ensemble boys with my long hair-extension. Bwahahahaha!

Contrary to some comments I've read about her from reviews of the show (from audience members), she is really a nice person. Very professional, very eager to do a good job, and absolutely incapable of a mean thought.


The Stilettos, Kuk Fa aka Chrys (my name is Chrysanthemum!!), Stylo-Tailo, the dude who gets to slap me at least 2-3 times each night (and live!!!), and Penny, our music director :)


KK and Anrie, two BPs (Beautiful People) both inside and out. KK's a brand-bitch ;) He's totally straight, and totally metro-sexual. Anrie's a cool, even-tempered person who totally makes everyone around her feel calm.


KK, Maria, and myself. Maria's got this tiny body and a huge, soulful voice. Every time she sang her storyteller parts, we'd get hyped to perform, or tear up with sentimentality. She's also an awesome person, without a single mean bone in her body. Party on, mama!!! :)


Lainie, a very sesat person. Showing support for the wrong show (we're doing ROSE lah, blurro! Not Girl from Ipoh! :p)...that smile on her face is totally perved on Carmen, but we luvs her anyways :)


Tin Tan, whose final strip scene always chokes us up, making us cry as we move into our final song. A total doll, she spends the most time rehearsing (next to Carmen) and is a sweetie. She gets to slap Tony around a lot, which is cool. I totally approve :)


Tin again :)


Tony Eusoff!! *screams extravagantly!* Okay lah, geez. It's just Tony. He gets his nipples pinched repeatedly (by Tin) and on the last night, got his nuts kicked up to his teeth by Jenhan. By way of apology, Jenhan arranged two cherry tomatoes and a piece of chicken sausage on a plate with an apology scribbled in Thousand Island sauce.


Tony, showing the guys there's no hard feelings over the damage to his nuts. Also, probably displaying his mutant Sarawakian mojo, proving that a mere kick ain't gonna stop this dude from having a good time ;)


Workaholic, perfectionist director, Low Ngai Yuen. Oddly enough, she's managed to fall short of being anal retentive, which was great for us :) She's actually very nice, and quite sporting lah. Adonis played Mr. Scorpio, the dude who whacks a brick off Johann's chest.
