Musical cancelled or continues???
What a day. Gina made the decision to cancel the musical despite pleas from some of us for reasons that were instinctively obvious. Lack of committment, time, preparation, etc....
The thing that pleased me however was that Gina, gave great credit to myself, Andreas, Romeo, Yihan and a few others who had committed wholeheartedly to the musical and came faithfully for every rehearsals. It really put us in a very positive light. I was so touched by the words spoken by Gina during yesterday's meeting that I cried. It was here, where Gina truly earned my respect and trust. Indeed, she is a great leader and I am honoured to work with her. I look forward to working with Gina and learning more stuff from her in future. (Hey, she was supposed to teach me how to do the fact sheet right?") No matter, I will bug her to teach me soon enough. :)
The positive sms from Eliza, Xinru and many others helped to encourage me to. I am glad that my efforts to stand up for them, to help them paid off. Thanks Guys, you all are wonderful friends to be with. Even if the musical was not successful, I am glad I have at least made some good friends among the artistes working with me. I am really very touched by Yihan's strong desire for the musical to go on. Despite my skeptisim, I agreed to give him my support. However, its not enough. I will need the full support and committment of the other artistes too. As the saying goes "it takes to hand to clap". On our own, we can only do so much. But with everyone joining in and giving their support, we can create miracles and make a difference. Much as I feel I need to rest, I sincerely hope that Yihan's efforts will pay off. Not because, I see him and the others as fellow artitstes, but because I see them as friends and comrades in arms.
May the Lord create a mircale this time round, I pray. Amen.

Hi Mel Richard
I'm tremendously touched by the efforts which you've been putting in for the musical.
As an avid musical performer and music enthusiaste, i'm glad to see that there are so many people who tinge passion for music.
I believe that most of the UAN artistes are potentials and they are able to shine.
However, incentives have to be implemented in order to maintain the motivation and momentum of the artistes.
I see that many of you are working so hard to perfectionize things, but all the hard work always result in half the finesse...
Like what you said, it takes 2 hands to clap..It's rather ironical that when the artistes are working so hard, and yet the results are undesirable.
Perhaps the management would like to monitor matters more closely in order to alleviate this problem?
