Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Love always hope. Always perseveres...

WHAT A THEME for the theatrical play "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Footstool Players! For LOVE, we really had to hope and PERSEVERE... you'll know what I mean later.

A Synopsis for the Blurries:
[It's all about a bunch of 27+2 adventurous teenagers struggling in going to Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre for the first time to watch a theatrical play entitled "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"]

[Random pic to make your reading of this post easier... Don't bother about this so much, GO ON READING!!! Haha, lame rite?]

Tonnes of trials and tribulations came the way. The booking system of KLPAC tickets, the calling of Mr Rudi to the rescue, the thank you-ing of Rudi and Colin in helping, the asking of "What Is LOVE To You?" poll, the thank you-ing to both genders who participated the poll, the finding of Amin and Mr Al to discuss, the powerpointing of the play to stunned faces of OUR CLUB members, the persuading of people in all classes to come for CLTCL, the thank you-ing of Amin, Nicholas, Sarah, Franky and Chan in voluntarily helping out at asking, the enquiring of transport from college, the thank you-ing of Mr Teh and drivers in sending us to Kelana Jaya, the waiting of people who come at Malaysian time, and finally the thank you-ing of the 26 fellow coursemates and Miss Effa and friend who came.

[One emo pic that I just want to post up so that I can flaunt my photography skills... Nah, haha. Making your reading easier again. Doesn't this picture bring some light into darkness, some hope into despair?]

That all seemed so impossible, but
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
aka Nothing is Impossible or Impossible is Nothing... living grace!

With all hope and excitement, the 27 people jumped into the college van and headed straight to Kelana Jaya station...

Smooth riding to KL Sentral and many happy shots took place at McD... of four girls curi-curi makan their catered dinner, posers with banana and apple pie, and posers with sundae cones...

BIG THANK YOU!!!

Thank you so much also for thy efficiency, Keretapi Tanah Melayu! We have so much time to pose for photos. Good customer service, eh?
[Sorry, picture blur sikit...]

By the time KTM came, we the second batch of KBU CLTCL gang were so tired of waiting but thank God the train came at 7.50 post meridiem. Just can't wait to go and sit in KLPAC's lovely seats and be showered with dazzling light.

However, the adventure is just about to start.
AND I REALLY MEAN ADVENTURE!

Arriving at KTM Sentul in pitch darkness dotted with some emo-ishly lonely street lights, we were desperate to go KLPAC for it's 15 minutes more and Miss Effa was waiting! Hearing advice from strangers that we can cross to Jalan Strachan by walking on KTM track, yours truly stupidly followed. Only to find the door at the KTM pagar shut... -.-"

Fine, go astern... and MAN why is the junction of Jalan Perhentian SO FREAKING FAR! And cars almost banged on us while we rushed in the rain. Even though I practised "sediakan payung sebelum hujan", my freaking umbrella was crooked and was dysfunctional. And I ran ahead with my bag containing Leong's umbrella. Stupid me and poor him running in the rain. Guess that's what they call "berat sama dijinjing"...


And the way to KLPac was still way far ahead. And my watch was ticking to 8.30pm - the starting time of CLTCL. Feeling lost was I and thank God my navigational skills were sound. Still then it was scary journey of faith, reflecting all the process, procedures and bureaucracies in going CLTCL. Everyone was running, in boots, sports shoes or HEELS. I kept calling, making sure they turn in the right junction. I must say that never there was such a PERSEVERING group of students until I met them - in rain and all drenched.

Mr Rudi, Ms Effa and friend was already waiting at the entrance. And the five minutes of delay was finishing fast and with me the only person who reached KLPac at that time, I almost lost all hope that this outing will meet its goals. Then love, which always hope, came in. The play was delayed for 15 minutes just for us. How can I thank Footstool Players any more?!!!

The KBU people was soon in sight, one by one, tired yet determined to make it in time. We went in with strange faces wondering who are these drenched and wet youngsters... Well, it's the KBU students. Never give up, always persevere! And I just sat in gratitude looking at Ms Effa's astonished face of
WOW, YOU GUYS AR!!!

Exhausted but these feelings soon faded. Laughing like nothing ever happened was the students enjoying the CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE!!!

Here are some of the snapshots of the scenes.

LOST IN TRANSMISSION
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus



I LOVE YOU MORE
Of hurricanes, mountains, moon echoing your song...

A LATE LUNCH
You spelt 'acquaintances' wrong!
It's blue... my favourite colour.



BILLY
Daddy, do you love me?
What about my ABCs?

We thoroughly enjoyed the performance and the message behind.
Thank you Footstool Players!

And of course, how can a first time outing to KLPac end without a group photo?

WHAT A BIG, MERRY AND ADVENTUROUS DAY!!!

Love is just crazy but ...

LOVE NEVER FAILS, right?

And Daniel, you were right. Never trust walking! It fails really... Haha

[Not forgetting - Dexter, Chee Kean and Ivan who sacrificed to make a miracle happen. Thank you so much for the love shown. The vans and MPV are just undeserving grace. All way from Shah Alam to transport 27 exhausted bodies back to their abodes...]
