about making mistake
havent got the luxury of time to update you guys on PGLM3, been busy with the rehearsal, this season i wont be on stage but i am still with the family because this season i will be helping Dato Zahim as his assistant, i hope to gain and learn as much from him in directing!
in the meantime, i got this from a dear family member of mine and somehow it relates to us... i want to share this story with you...
"Life is about correcting mistakes"
Monica married Rajesh this day. At the end of the wedding party, Monica's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook. With Rs.1000 deposit amount.
Mother: 'Monica, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line.
The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Rajesh.When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'
Monica shared this with Rajesh when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.
This was what they did after certain time:
- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Rajesh after marriage
- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Monica
- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali
- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Monica got pregnant
- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Rajesh got promoted
..... and so on...
However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things.They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world.... no more love...Kind of typical nowadays, huh?
One day Monica talked to her Mother:
'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!'
Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'
Monica thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account.
While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home.
When she was home, she handed the passbook to Rajesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.
The next day, Rajesh gave the passbook back to Monica. She found a new deposit of Rs.5000.
And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.'
They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.
I don't know how much they saved .I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone thru all the good years in their life.
"When you fall, in any way, Don't see the place where you fell,
Instead see the place from where you slipped.
Life is about correcting mistakes."

about Stephen Rahman-Hughes and Starmaker Bootcamp
Starmaker Boot camp is back for another stimulating season to invigorate your musical senses!
Enfiniti Productions, the team that brought you Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical (PGLM) and P. Ramlee The Musical, is organizing the musical theatre workshop again from 15th to 30th November 2008. Leading the “Boot camp” is none other than West End star Stephen Rahman-Hughes, who plays the lead role of Hang Tuah in Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical. Assisting Stephen is Matt Cross who has worked closely with Stephen in the West End. Stephen and Matt have a combined professional experience of over 30 years in the entertainment industry, both working extensively in film, television, West End theatre (where both have starred in leading roles) and the music industry. Both also have extensive dance backgrounds.
The "Boot camp" will be a two-week, intensive performing arts workshop. Over the two-week course, the focus will be on improving the skills within the three disciplines of acting, singing and dance. The course will be looking at the technical aspect of each discipline. During the two weeks, the students will be encouraged to work towards a deeper, more truthful connection in each performance whether it be through song, acting or dance. “We will be teaching the do's and don'ts of the industry, passing on our knowledge and working with each individual to build confidence,” says Stephen.
Enfiniti will be sending several individuals who recently auditioned for Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical Season 3 to attend the “Boot camp” to prepare them for the ‘real thing’ as part of the ensemble in PGLM 3. The boot camp will also be relevant for professional singers, actors or dancers who are looking for the next curve in their careers. “It’s such a competitive world out there and only those who keep up with change and continue to improve themselves will stand the test of time. Besides, you haven’t come full circle as a performer if you haven’t done musical theatre!” says Tiara Jacquelina, Managing Director of Enfiniti, Executive Producer and lead actress of PGLM. Tiara adds, “As for aspiring talent, this workshop will give you a very good idea of what to expect during rehearsals, and how to equip and 'position' yourself for a career in musical theatre.” Tiara will also be sharing her experiences and knowledge of the industry with the boot campers.
The program for the Boot camp will be skewed towards Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical, taking examples of scenes, songs and dance choreography from the musical. Participants who did not audition for PGLM may even be considered for a part in the ensemble, depending on their performance during the Boot camp. Overall, these two weeks aim to give each student a specific and detailed experience and to give them tools to carry into their careers as performers whilst having lots of fun.
STARMAKER: Musical Theatre Bootcamp
Participants may be naturally talented individuals who wish to sharpen their skills and abilities. Individuals may have professional or non-professional stage experience. Interested parties are to email their portfolios and contact details to Catharina - cath@enfiniti.com.my to indicate their interest in the Boot camp.

about PGLM3 and RHB
RHB BANKING GROUP BRINGS PUTERI GUNUNG LEDANG THE MUSICAL SEASON 3 BACK TO KUALA LUMPUR
In support of the local performing arts, the RHB Banking Group brings the hit musical production, Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical (PGLM), back to the Malaysian entertainment scene come February 2009. Back by popular demand, this will be the third season of the PGLTM in the country. The previous two seasons had received overwhelming response from avid performing arts fans and the general public alike.
“Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical proved to be a national phenomenon when it was staged here in Kuala Lumpur, twice, in 2006 and it went on to create a stir on the Singaporean shores later in the year. The secret, I believe, lies in the familiar storyline with a very rich cultural heritage that was brought to life by the superb, flawless performance by a team of highly talented entertainers from the local theatre scene. RHB is proud to be able to bring back this production not only for those who have an aesthetic appreciation for the arts and cultural heritage, but also for our clients as a way of thanking them for their continuous support towards the Group,” said Michael J. Barrett, the Group Managing Director of the RHB Banking Group.
When asked about PGLM’s return, Tiara Jacquelina, who holds the lead role of Puteri and is the Executive Producer, said, “It’s wonderful knowing you have the best of the best working together on your team, and all of them challenging themselves to do better. We have a great synergy amongst us, great respect and admiration for each other’s work, and each of us continuously energizes the other, that’s something you can’t plan for – it’s either there or it’s not. The Arts is a powerful unifying force amongst people and with the growing support and generosity of patrons of the Arts like RHB, the public can develop their appreciation of the Arts, which is integral to the soul of any country.”
“We have enjoyed tremendous success from this production, and we are very excited to be able to bring it back for a third season. We are also very pleased to be able to collaborate with the RHB Banking Group for this season; it brings to mind that regardless of how much has evolved in this fast-paced, industrialized society, the love of the arts is still very much alive,” said Boudeng Edruce, General Manager of Enfiniti Productions.
The RHB Banking Group has previously sponsored numerous performances and shows in pursuit of supporting performing arts, and this time the Group is very pleased to work with Enfiniti Productions in bringing back PGLTM. The Group looks forward to presenting an equally excellent – if not better – show to the public this time round.
