“To have someone who is young and comfortable with himself… it must have taken a lot to get where you are today.” – Mr Ferlin J.

It is inspiring to have him say those words to me. I guess he understands how much young people yearn to find their real identity.

I have found mine.

I played a sissy interviewer for my course’s Lecture Theatre Show (TP Open House). Again, some may say I am being myself and some are still convinced that it is a character that I pulled off really well.

“Amin that was really a superb performance, I have never seen such a professional theatre performance. (I laughed with exaggerated hand movements). You can get out of the character now.”

Personally, I do not know how to react to her last few words. She did not know me and surely I have not seen her before. We were strangers. She was convinced that it was just a character.

To me…

that character is me. I merely exaggerated ‘him’ to gather aching laughter. Those hand movements and subtle face expressions are done deliberately for endorphin-agents-in-our-body-to-create-more.

Three years I made that character mine. Three times my acting counterpart was replaced. Three times I have received a letter of recognition…

And three is the number of my past lovers who came by to watch me act as me….

It is nice to see my batch coming down to watch the LT show even though they have watched it for the past two years.

Thank you
