i woke up to monday
(boy, was it blue)
rehearsals all sunday
(yeh lai xiang for you*)
my colleagues were whining
and going mad screaming
over the loud piling
for the nearby new building
the atmosphere tense
the pressure immense
my neighbour was grumbling
enough with nonsense!
for lunch we drove out
to the village so glee
at the shut stall, we shout
what, no prawn mee?!
the evening had come
my brain declared dead
unfortunately still some
vexation lay ahead
i tried to unwind
Ipoh Town** in my mind
the yoga would do me good
(of course, after food!***)
half past seven arrived at last
the rehearsal was quite a blast
we even got to go home early
so to Caltex****, went the cast
nasi lemak, tandoori chicken
80's tunes filled the cool night air
plans were made for merry-makin'
in the days ahead so fair
the sandman is now taking over
and soon i will be keeling over
but wait, before this rhyme is over
here's something for you to ponder
GO GET YOUR TICKETS FOR BROKEN BRIDGES!
we promise it will be worth your riches
come with friends, and bring some tissue
03-4047 9031 that's how to reach us!
* a line from one of the songs in Broken Bridges (which, by the way, will be performed at Taman Budaya Perak, Ipoh, this Friday to Sunday!)
** title of our opening song
*** the time before and after rehearsals is all about food. well, actually, in Malaysia, rehearsals are all about food...
**** actually, it's the mamak stall near the Caltex station on Jalan Ipoh, where we regularly "fill up" after rehearsals. i think the stall operators actually missed our boisterous company during our 2-month break from rehearsals!
