Zen Katha

zen katha - a play about the founder of ZEN... it's a play by the indians...the producer, writer, actors..all hail from indian...and apparently they were very famous...but to me they are strangers...strangers whom i will not take a second look at all...*laughs*

anyway....caught this play last evening at the victoria concert hall...uncle's business people had free tickets and he brought me along...*grins* was kinda happy because the guy who provided the tickets is the same guy who provided the diana krall's tickets and from my memory....he's ATTRACTIVE!!! *laughs* so was kinda excited that am going to see him again!!!

actually, there were some light refreshments and drinks served at indochine before the play..but because uncle and i had hor fun ( mmm..it seemed kinda duhz to have hor fun...but my uncle is a very chinese man...he LOVES chinese food...i could remember when i went to the states with him 5 years agao..we ALWAYS had chinese food... ) for dinner and so we decided to give that a miss...*sighz* missed my chance to see the cute guy...but anyhow..it's alright...dont really feel comfy with all those high-flying people..who are earning millions in minutes..while me will most probably earn millions in my dreams...*laughs*

so we headed straight to victorial concert hall and upon arriving...for a moment i thought i have reached INDIA!! *laughs* yes...the place is infiltrated with indians...all kinds of indians..the white ones, the black ones, the old ones, the young ones, the hip ones, the traditional ones, the smart-looking ones, the ugly-looking ones....lucky no smell..if not i think i will faint....*laughs* and my uncle was commenting..." wah..these indians really support their own people ah...interesting!! "

anyway, the tickets were rather premium..and we were seated at the 7th row from the stage..and in the center..not too bad...and was just looking around while waiting for the play to start and suddenly...my ATTRACTIVE guy appeared and my heart skipped a beat (as if!) *laughs* but somehow, he's not that cute anymore...maybe previously i saw him in balaclava where it was darker...*laughs* but anyhow...he's got a nice build..the height and build is simply PERFECT for me...plus his career and charisma....PERFECT!! and guess what? his seat is next to me!! *laughs* so for the 105 mins, i was sitted beside my ATTRACTIVE guy!! tried to take a picture of him with my phone but failed...*laughs*

anyway, my uncle and him chatted a bit...and when he saw me..he said..."hey..nice to meet you AGAIN"...he used the word "AGAIN" ....does it mean he remember me? *laughs laughs laughs* he ACTUALLY remember me??? *laughs laughs laughs* or was it just a slip of tongue? but how often do people slip in such manner? not very often right....so i'm right....HE REMEMBERS ME!! *grins grins grins* wanted very much to chat up with him..but with uncle beside me..kinda hard right..and my uncle kept telling me that he's a playboy and he leads an unhealthy lifestyle...aiyoh...i'm NOT (although i dont mind ) marrying him sia...but i seriously dont mind being one of his flings...*laughs*

ooh...about the play....if you asked me..i dont really like it...the indian accent is so damn bloody strong and they were talking so damn bloody fast that i have difficulties understanding them...and the sound system seemed faulty as there were some parts where it didnt sound audible at all...as for the play...i must say i was not intrigued by it...there seemed to be breakages and the story didnt seemed to flow...the costumes were not nice...the props were kinda lousy..the music not too bad...the actors and actresses looked alike...*laughs* if this was done by our local people...i think it would be fucking good...i must say...our local theatre talents are damn fucking talented....watched several of their plays and all were good...amazing..fantastic!!! there were many scenes where i couldnt catch what the actors were saying..and so i just watched the meagre props and actions they had...and the jokes were kinda lame and inaudible....

but i did learn something from this play....i learnt why monks greet each other with only their right hand in front of them...it's because...there's this monk...who very much wants to learn from the zen master...but the zen master refused to see him (which i dont know why) and so told him that he would see him the moment they snow turned red (which i thought was rather lame)..and so in order to turn the snow red..this monk chopped off his left hand and used his blood to turn the snow red (which i thought was damn stupid..can use chicken, pig, duck blood right? chop off own hand...stupid man)..and because of this, the master of zen was very touched and thus he set the rule that they shall greet each other with only the right hand (quite bullshitty if you ask me)...actually i seriously wonder if ths is true...but anyhow..thought this was the most interesting thing about the play....*laughs*
