The Edge Eve Eve... Plus: Return of the Native & Dad's New Toy

Yo! I'm back! Another day, another run through, another exhausted Nick! For some reason today I'm even more tired than usual. Could be because I'd woken up "early" (11am, okay, fine, but it's early for me!) and began experimenting on my keyboard at about 4pm before commencing rehearsals which led us all the way up to 1030pm. Yes, that could be it. Six and a half hours of almost non-stop playing can do that to a person. By scene three or four in the show, I was like, "Man, is this over yet??" Arf arf. But it's all going very well, I think, and we've managed to almost resolve some audio issues (from mono to stereo! that usually helps!) Tomorrow we're doing our final rehearsal with a specially invited preview audience, so that oughta be pretty exciting/scary!!

Going back a little bit. Yesterday was pretty cool. First off, I finally met up with my old friend JJ, who, if you clicked on the link in the previous post, had gone "missing" since my return to Malaysia two years ago. Y'see, JJ had run off to Cambodia and had found a job working at a hotel there, where he's still at. But now he's come back for a brief holiday, and we've manage to catch up, and all is well with the world again. Yay! He dropped by my house to visit my Mum, who hugged him and then promptly told him off. Good times.

The other thing I was gonna mention is my Dad's new toy, which he brought home yesterday. It's a new car!! A Toyota Corolla Altis! Yup, a couple of months ago, Dad spontaneously said, "Let's get a new car", and lo and behold, much to my own surprise, he actually did it. Now we've got three cars in the house - the older Proton and my MyVi, plus the newbie - and only two drivers. Heh. Go figure. Meanwhile, the Altis is two days old and all it's done is sit in the porch, away from the roads. Oy vey. That's what happens when you have two other cars at your disposal... :P

Anyhoo, here's the proper promotional shot of the Altis:



...and this is our little latest addition the family, parked stationary under the aforementioned porch:



Whooohoooo!! I can't wait to get behind the wheel!! Now all I need is to convince them to let me!! Arf arf!!

Anyway, that's it for this post. Until next time... ;))
