A sincere and humble welcome
Welcome, Friends of the Corrupt Kingdom! It is my sincere hope and wish that you will be pleased at the creation of this small platform on the infinite space of the world wide web. It is also my wish --- as to the creation of this journal --- to chronicle the events that took place during our times together, and the thoughts and feelings that we would like to share with each other. May this fellowship bloom as a beautiful flower in the barren desert of Malaysian Classical Theater...
Undoubtedly, the experience - and friendship - gained during the process of the premier presentation of Anike is of unfathomable value. For (in my mind's eye) we are no mere actors on a small stage, but warriors in the blood-soaked field that is Asian English literature scene. I can see that - if properly executed - we will, each and every one of us, achieve our Common Dream.
The private presentation of Anike was akin to a lit fuse... A fuse that leads to an explosion of fame and fortune. Our greatest thanks to the Mr Wong Phui Nam - the Wizard of Words - and Himanshu Bhatt, the Seer who saw the Future and took the reigns of Cape Poetics into the Unknown. Not forgetting the critical mind, guiding hand and acting talents of Jayaram Menon, without whom the play would have been handicapped. And of course, the Players - May, Jin-jin, Kala, Joel, Yao-Han, Henry, Khaz & Aakash - without whom Anike could not have been brought to life.
Last but not least, may Anike take us further than we could ever imagine!

Ah, Master Hanif, what a deft stroke to blog Anike- a work in progress!
Your introductory words have set the tone of what i am sure will be a sparkling discourse on Anike and related themes.
They are munificent and I thank you for them.
My experience over the gestation period which culminated in the first draft of our presntation to the public was one which will be remembered with fondness.Our young team rose to the occasion and delivered.
Will drop in soon.Jay.
Our humble thanks, Your Majesty! We await your wise words to lend grace the pages of our simple chronicle. Please, share with us your thoughts on Anike so that we may further illuminate our minds and hearts on life...
WOW...THIS SITE IS SO SO NICE, I ENJOYED MYSELF HERE...Hanif, u r so talented.
Really glad that I accepted Mr H's invitation to do A-nike, just 3weeks b4 showtime. Anyway, I would like to expressed my sincere thanks to all the cast for being so helpful and the team-spirit is great. Didn't expect to do well in this play as this is totally new to me (both in acting and the words). Thanks to Mr J, for his ever ready advise/tips.
Mr H, thanks for giving me the chance to act and I have found that acting is actually a very therapeutic way for stress relief.
Mr Hanif, I have a wonderful time chatting with u on costume making and learn alot from you. Remember our idea of Anike set in the banks of River Nile.
Ok, this is all for now, gotto get back to "MenWithoutShadows".

Henry, my brother! Thank you for dropping in a few words in this humble blog of ours. Indeed, it was I who learned a lot about make-up and theatre craft from you, sir.
I shall always cherish the memory of Anike on the banks of the Nile... :)
All the best to you and the team for "Man Wothout Shadows"!
