ATOMIC JAYA
A little late on this but here it is. From auditions to the last staging day, Atomic Jaya was an unforgettable experience. I loved every second of it. It's been a dream of mine to be in a full play production. Last year, I didn't get the opportunity to be part of the Peter Pan production but it's okay cause I wouldn't trade this production and these people for the world. We're all family now.
I have to thank Dr Zainor for believing in me and told me to audition for one of the main characters, Dr Saiful. I never thought I could play the part but I've learnt so much about myself and acting that I've gained more confidence over time. I love playing Dr Saiful. He has been a joy. He is a very fun character to play. I love playing around and be creative with the character till we all find what our version of Dr Saiful is and I believe we found that. I miss playing him so much.
I honestly can't believe it's been 3/4 months. We've rehearsed our lines, get to know our characters and get to know everyone of us. We played games, we made jokes, we danced, we sang, we laughed, we cried and most importantly we performed. Each day we grow closer to each other and each day we get closer to the staging day. Where did the time go? It felt like it was only yesterday where we did our first script read through and now we're actually done with the play.
First staging day was nerve wrecking. We were excited of course but nerves are always there. Then panic cause we experienced technical difficulties with the mics at the beginning but props to Ying and Sadiq for keeping calm and went on with the scenes cause us backstage were panicking 😅. Technicians fixed the mic problem just right away and we carry on with the rest of the play. We were happy to see everyone laughing at the jokes, understood the references and their energy was so amazing it's unimaginable. Second day we had 3 universities coming to see the play and one of them have staged Atomic Jaya before and I’m glad to hear they really enjoyed our performance.
Atomic Jaya and Onetwotea Production will forever be close to my heart. I will never forget these people. The cast, the crew. We went from strangers to a family. I love each and everyone single one of these people. They're all amazingly talented at what they do. I'm so blessed and happy I got to know them and be a part of this production. I won't forget one line of this. Atomic Jaya was an amazing, beautiful and unforgettable experience for me and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I hope to join next year's production and hope it would be as amazing.
This is Dr Saiful signing off.........For now 😉
