Lucky me!!!
Saturday, November 17th, 2007An unexpected phone call delivered the news.
“Congratulations, you were chosen!!”
Now, with the rise of tricksters peddling lies, trying to CONvince you that you have won a milllion ringgit has made me wary. I have received 2 such phone calls before.
However, this time it was different. I did enter this.
Early of the month, I submitted my essay on why I should be chosen to participate in this chance of a lifetime workshop. Early this week, I received an e-mail stating that I was unsuccessful. So I just shrugged and continued with life.
On Friday, a call came. I was actually on the waiting list. Lucky me.
Now, I had to chose between work and this. Thank goodness for wonderful employers and supportive colleagues. We managed to work out a schedule and I am on my way for 2 weeks of Screen Acting training.
Thanks to Astro. Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Arts will be here in KL. Only selected participants are allowed to join.
I can’t wait!
