tick tock!!

"tick tock, tick tock... ...
i like being a clock... ...
tick tock tick tock... ...it's 7 am, i'm late, i'm late... ...
tick tock tick tock... i like being on time..."

i think those were some of the lines that limin uttered most convincingly as a patient in a mental asylum named inasum. Throw in a tall young man who speaks like master yoda in convoluted sentences that make you go "HUH??!", a pretty young thing who barks and arfs like an exicted dog, a lady who believes she is a maid, a dude who acts like a bonkus knight, but insists he is sane and in love with the maid, a deluded pair of guys who believe they are siamese twins and hold each other most tightly, a writer who pleaded insanity to escape reality, a young woman who is sane and sweet, and her father, the tyrant of the asylum. Yes, it's one insane light hearted and corny play, with moments of star wars, moments of 'awwwww', moments of 'WAT?!?!?' and of cos, laughter, smiles, and applause.

There are however times when you watch the 2and half hour play that you want to shoot the scriptwriter dead and kill him again, and the person who wrote the lyrics for the songs, and times you want to stuff cotton wool into your ears when the male actors sing off key, without any regard to pitch or tone!! BUT you have to give it to them, it isnt easy singing in front of a critical crowd. BUT NVM these other thespians, MORE IMPORTANTLY, LIMIN WAS AMAZING, A NATURAL ON THE STAGE!!! really, no one can possibly be a more convincing and whacky cute clock! bravo babe!!!we are darn proud of ya darling!!
