We had a total of 3000++ people over the past two days and overall, the feedback had been very encouraging. <p>Of course, looking back, we, who have been involved in almost every facet of the story, could see there were scenes that didn’t turn out as we wanted or could have been done better, but that’s stage production, I guess, there are no second takes.</p><p>Here are some little ‘bloopers’ that you might not have been aware of (I guess it’s safe to publish it since Broken is over!)</p><p></p><br /><p><strong>1. The Devil’s Grammar</strong></p><p>In the first line of Broken’s narration: “I may have lost the war, but the battle for souls rage on…” is incorrect grammar, since the subject here is the singular <em>battle</em>, hence, should be ‘the battle rages on’. I was wondering whether to correct my script for Day 2 but thought maybe the devil character itself wasn’t that articulate, prone to have grammatical errors when excited, especially when he’s talking about souls. So we left it that way.</p><p><strong>2. Bullet Time Mis-Stunts</strong></p><p>In the first scene on Day 1, the shoot out all went well, until Jin came out and the cops fired 4 shots at him and he just looked back at us, before falling over after a few seconds of delay. Also, when I came out to be shot by Eddie ( I was the dead cop), we both stared at each other and I was ready to take the ‘bullet’. When the sound effects didn’t kick it, I was seen dancing a little jig, expecting to be shot. Karen mentioned it was quite funny…</p><p><img id="image925" alt="policeshot.jpg" src="http://www.core.com.my/threeds/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/policeshot.jpg" /></p><p><strong>3. Harassment of Eddie</strong></p><p>Apparently, the team leader of the cops (the one not in uniform, with a holster, our very own assistant cell leader), came out and shouted his lines “Arrest Him!”. Probably it was the mic or a rush of adrenaline, as the words that seem to come out were “Harass Him!”</p><p><img id="image919" style="WIDTH: 427px; HEIGHT: 125px" alt="police21.jpg" src="http://www.core.com.my/threeds/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/police21.jpg" /></p><p><strong>4. The invisible Ken</strong></p><p>On day 2 shootout scene, the police rushed in too quickly, before Ken got a chance to get away. The cops all had their guns pointed at Eddie, even though Ken was still on the scene. None of the police noticed Ken (since in practice, Ken was not supposed to be there anyway), who quickly got away, rushing past the oblivious police.</p><p><img id="image921" style="WIDTH: 345px; HEIGHT: 230px" alt="police1.jpg" src="http://www.core.com.my/threeds/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/police1.jpg" /></p><p><strong>5. The Mic of Horror</strong></p><p>Ken’s mic came loose after the first scene on Day 1, and we did a quick swap backstage. His mic wasn’t turned off and it picked up some chatter backstage, that went like: “Joker lah…what lah…etc.” I was with Yen (the director) at the AV console and I think we both had the look of utter horror on our faces. It was sorted out and all parties told to shut up back stage! Ken’s swapped mic wasn’t turned on as well, so we lost a fair bit of conversation from the play.</p><p><strong>6. The missed cue</strong></p><p>Ken and Jin missed cues on the second day; where Ken didn’t talk about ‘partners’. This caused a long pause between their arguments before Jin recovered by blurting out, “What about our partners?!”. Great acting…</p><p><img id="image916" alt="jinken.jpg" src="http://www.core.com.my/threeds/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/jinken.jpg" /></p><p><strong>7. Flipped Dress</strong></p><p>Apparently, nobody told Steph how to wear her dress. It was corrected in Day 2 (right)</p><p><img id="image923" style="WIDTH: 343px; HEIGHT: 305px" alt="steph_dress.jpg" src="http://www.core.com.my/threeds/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/steph_dress.jpg" /></p><p><strong>8. Walk through Walls</strong></p><p>Also, some people got confused at how easily the pastor walked around the jail cell out of the jail during some of the scenes, at at some other points, even bringing along Eddie! Unfortunately, our church doesn’t have rotating floors, so we have to imagine that it was a symbolic reference that they were still in the cell, but required a bigger space to cater to the crucifixion scene.</p><p><strong>9. Roman Soldier becomes Ultraman</strong></p><p>Apparently one of the Roman guards in the crucifixion scene came out with his helmet backwards. Nobody noticed till the whole scene was over, and he was found lounging backstage, still with his helmet backwards.</p><p><img id="image922" style="WIDTH: 358px; HEIGHT: 238px" alt="romandguard.jpg" src="http://www.core.com.my/threeds/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/romandguard.jpg" /><br /><strong>10. Thief adjusting mic</strong></p><p>Apparently on day one, while crucified, one of the thieves managed to dislodge his hand from the nails to adjust his mic, and obediently nailed himself again. To be fair, it was already dark and he did it quite discreetly, but couldn’t escape a few observant people =)</p><p><img id="image924" alt="thief.jpg" src="http://www.core.com.my/threeds/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/thief.jpg" /></p><p><strong>11. Stunt double lost his pants</strong></p><p>On day one, I had a moment of panic when I couldn’t find my pants. (I was the stunt double that got hung). The dressing room backstage was so messy, someone relocated my short pants I was supposed to wear, similar to Eddie’s. It was finally found somewhere in the corner and I changed just in time.</p><p><strong>12. Stunt double dies too quickly</strong></p><p>I didn’t realise people could still see me on Day one (I had a black hood on!), and nicely dropped to the ground when the lights were still on me during execution. D’OH!!</p><p><img id="image920" alt="hangman.jpg" src="http://www.core.com.my/threeds/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/hangman.jpg" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[tags : <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/easter" rel="tag">easter</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/broken" rel="tag">broken</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/easter%20drama" rel="tag">easter drama</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/gtpj" rel="tag">gtpj</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/glad%20tidings" rel="tag">glad tidings</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/church%20event" rel="tag">church event</a>]</p>steviehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10339497995747654699noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174843279477343531.post-23461718095516075262008-03-24T13:42:00.002+08:002008-03-24T13:50:47.451+08:00The Making of Broken: Scenes of Broken<p></p>I dug up some old initial scenes just for fun and man, we've really improved from our outtakes!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o6Cg53U-LIA&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o6Cg53U-LIA&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br /><p>1.

Today is good Friday, and as we all have prepared for the Easter Drama, it’s time we took stock of the journey of Broken, and what it really meant.</p><p>While I will be the first to admit, that our little production stands very small in the Universe of Musical Wonders, ruled by mega projects like <em>Les Miserables, Miss Saigon </em>and all the Andrew Lloyd Webber stuff that has been conjured up over the years; that our very own GTPJ production stands comparatively small even by the side of our local musicals/plays found in KLPac and the rest–I still think Broken is as relevant, if not bigger, when measured on a different scale.</p><p>And what scale is that?</p><p>There are no sales, no money, no endorsements to measure with. The effectiveness of any production born out of a church is only dependent on one thing: that through the process, through the journey, through the making, it had been the direction of not the ones producing it; but of the Holy Spirit. More than any other thing, the Journey of making ‘Broken’ would give a glimpse of the final result of ‘Broken’. If we want the result to be souls and recommitment , then the journey has to be filled with prayer and constant seeking of His will. </p><p><em><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>No amount of practices will replace that</strong>.</span></em> </p><p>I believe that tonight, God is already preparing hearts and souls to respond, and there’s nothing left for us to do but to pray and do the best we can. It’s His show, not ours, so let’s reflect everything back to Him!</p><p>It’s been a great Journey, and I’ve really really enjoyed working with the team in the last 2 months, from that rainy day in Karen’s place where we brainstormed for a plot till today, a finalised (although raw) product in our hands. Here are a pictures and kudos to the team!<br /></p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lOw5yVSMpdM/R-N_iZ1LqDI/AAAAAAAAAAM/mWaWNeno1ho/s1600-h/DSC00043b.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180124225432430642" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lOw5yVSMpdM/R-N_iZ1LqDI/AAAAAAAAAAM/mWaWNeno1ho/s320/DSC00043b.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>Here we have the very very first draft of the cast we scrawled out on the board in our first official meeting! </p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lOw5yVSMpdM/R-N_v51LqFI/AAAAAAAAAAc/NIZ1zMjFhIw/s1600-h/chans.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180124457360664658" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lOw5yVSMpdM/R-N_v51LqFI/AAAAAAAAAAc/NIZ1zMjFhIw/s320/chans.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>The Chans, gracious enough to offer their home for our brainstorming session and of course, Karen, our producer and the one who came up with the initial plot.</p><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lOw5yVSMpdM/R-N_qZ1LqEI/AAAAAAAAAAU/4i3NrWDElyA/s1600-h/yenkim.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180124362871384130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lOw5yVSMpdM/R-N_qZ1LqEI/AAAAAAAAAAU/4i3NrWDElyA/s320/yenkim.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Kim Ann, on the left, our ‘Drama Coah’ (I never knew that portfolio existed!).

He was the best man for our wedding, a well-liked, well-respected man, who always got what he wanted through his determination, and of course, his gift of the gab. Perhaps, the best description of Ken can be found in this email written by Eddie some time back.</div><div><br /></div><p></p><div><strong><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10;" >From:</span></span></strong><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10;"> Eddie.Lau@juktmicronics.com<br /><strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Sent:</span></strong> Friday, July 7, 2006 8:48 PM<br /><strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">To:</span></strong> stephaniechan1976@gmail.com<br /><strong><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Subject:</span></strong> Deal going through!</span></span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">Wow, what a day!! Meetings after meetings. We just finished and now headed to Orchard for some drinks with our partner and customers. Singapore has really changed since we last visited, a few years ago. Its great that Ken brought me along, as I had a long technical discussion with the customers and they seem very impressed with our products and services. Finally, one year of work is paying off and the deal is almost done! Fingers crossed!! </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;"><br /> </div></span></span><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">Ken hasn’t really been himself lately; he and Jin are always discussing about the company’s finance, and meeting our bankers after office hours. I know you mean well when you told me to be more hands-on with work finance; but I trust them. I grew up with them! And Ken has always taken care of my career even when I started out. He always bought the team lunch, dinner and took us out and always gave us credit for the achievements. When I brought Jin into our first company, Ken took him in, despite his patchy CV. And when he started this new company, we were the first he thought off. He, running the show; Jin, the finance, and me on the technical. We always joke Ken was the CEO, Jin, the CFO and me, the CTO. Well, one day, maybe can??!? =) We all owe Ken something, u know, so the least I can do is give him my trust in this matter. I think we (Jin and I) look up to him now as a bigger brother, since he knows how to deal with people and is the most business savvy…I saw him work out the deal with our partner, and our customers today and he’s very very good!!</span></span></div><div> </div><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">Ok, I gotta run, Ken’s already looking over my shoulder already!

He and Eddie went to an all boys school down the road from my all girls school and I suppose, being curious about the opposite sex at that age was inevitable, so somehow, we all became friends. Jin and Eddie were always close, along with another boy named Alex (who has left the country). Even back then, Jin came across as very rude, very boastful and quite annoying. None of us liked him at all, no, but he was always tagging along Alex and Eddie, so what do we do?? However, he is fiercely loyal to his friends and at one time got into a huge fight with some school gangsters to defend Eddie over some misunderstanding. That was either extremely brave, or extremely daft, because he was beaten up quite bad. But from that day, I knew I could count on him to defend his friends to the very end.<br /><br /></div><p>One thing about Jin: He is an absolute genius with numbers. He doesn’t like to admit it, but he is <strong>very very intelligent</strong>. While Eddie works hard and slogs, Jin would just cruise through his maths and accounts exam (while failing the others because they were ‘boring’). It’s so frustrating sometimes, to know that he could be so rich and successful if he wasn’t so <em>lazy</em>! He’s only interested in cars and drinking and girls, and doing the absolute minimal to get by…</p><p>He improved a lot after knowing Ken. Like Eddie, Jin really looked up to Ken as his <em>‘tai ko’</em> or big brother. He became more polite, less preoccupied with himself. But still clueless when it comes to girls….</p><p>A funny episode was when he tried to go after my sister, Sharon. After one evening with him, she came back so angry, I asked her what happened.</p><p>“He took me to the race track!”</p><p>“After dinner?” I asked, stifling a laugh.</p><p>“NO! We ate burger at the side of the road after that and he shared with me a can of Carlsberg! What a cheapskate!!! <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">What a waste of time</span>!!”</p><p>And so ends that romance. That’s our Jin. </p><div><em><strong><u><span style="color:#ff6600;">Watch this SPOT!: March 19, 2008 (Wed)</span></u></strong></em></div><div><em><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">"Sweet sounds of broken"</span></strong></em></div><div><em><span style="color:#ff6600;">Take a listen to the soundtrack!</span></em><br /><br /><br /></div><p>[tags : <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/easter" rel="tag">easter</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/broken" rel="tag">broken</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/easter%20drama" rel="tag">easter drama</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/gtpj" rel="tag">gtpj</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/glad%20tidings" rel="tag">glad tidings</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/church%20event" rel="tag">church event</a>]</p></div></div>stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08893737995603594773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174843279477343531.post-76404912664592978212008-03-17T11:07:00.005+08:002008-12-12T06:40:22.345+08:00"The Daily 10 with the Music D"<em><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span></strong></em><br /><em><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Yup, we're back!

The theme song?</p><p><strong>Team @ broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>:</strong> <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Okay, you seem a bit blur, just woke up eh? Let’s try this – what inspired you to create the score? (ie. why did you choose to put these particular songs together?)</span></strong><br /><strong>Jui Hong:</strong> Most of the major key songs are chosen to tell the story in a more compelling way. Some of which you have heard before, some not so. But all of them tell the story of hope, even when faced with the darkest of moments.The score itself, as well as the arrangements of the entire production is inspired by the classics. I watch way too many movies to be healthy! So the arrangements will reflect classic arrangement styles from the 70s, and 80s.</p><p><strong>Team @ broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>: <span style="color:#ff0000;">How long did it take you?</span></strong><br /><strong>Jui Hong:</strong> The song list was easy. It was given straight to me from the director/script. The score itself, took about a day. It's finding the right score that will underline the emotions of that particular scene. We're letting some scenes use music to carry the weight of the emotions. In fact, some of our early choices proved to carry wayyyy to much emotions. :)<br />But the hardest of it was the original song for one of the scenes. The music went from R&B to Rock to Pop Ballad before we settled on just the right arrangement. In the end, borrowing from all elements. That took us 2 weeks!<br /><br /><strong>Team @ broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>: <span style="color:#ff0000;">Was it hard?</span></strong><br /><strong>Jui Hong:</strong> I guess the hardest part of the process is the arrangement. As the practices progressed, it is the connection between the music and what’s happening on stage that matters the most, and tuning it just right is a process that involves the entire music team, as well as the actors. It's a live performance after all, and we can't go back and just edit it into the play. It needs to be timed to almost precision so that the right note hits at the right moment of the scene.</p><p><strong>Team @ broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>: <span style="color:#ff0000;">What was the process like? (ie. did you have lots of toilet breaks, didyou sit there and hold your pee in till you were done, did you glue yourself to the piano stool?)</span><br />Jui Hong: </strong>The initial process was quite non-eventful. I literally picked a scene from the thousands of movies I've watched, and try to match it down to what's happening on stage. The original song however, was different. A few nights glued to the piano trying out every variation of tune and chords and structure.</p><p>The arrangement was a different story. I had to literally conjure the entire play in my head, word for word of the script, add a soundtrack to it, and literally play millions of variations of pace and timing before settling on the right piece.<br /><br /><strong>Team @ broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>: <span style="color:#ff0000;">What instruments are you using to recreate the score? (obviously not orchestra!)</span></strong><br /><strong>Jui Hong:</strong> We have a 5 piece band recreating the score. Piano, Drums, Keyboard, Bassand a guitar. In fact, this play will feature the 1st public performance ofour own acoustic guitarist turn electric rock star, one you would neverimagine to ever be behind those power chords!</p><p><strong>Team @ broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>: <span style="color:#ff0000;">Did anything funny happen while you were at it?</span></strong><br /><strong>Jui Hong:</strong> No, not really.</p><p><strong>Team @ broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>:</strong> <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">What?? Nothing at all?? Hmmm…okay, so did advertisement jingles come into your head or perhaps the mario brothers theme song?</span><br />Jui Hong:</strong> Actually, while I was at it, the song from Disney's Beauty & the Beast keeppopping in my head. Don't ask me why.</p><p><strong>Team @ <span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">broke</span>n</span>: <span style="color:#ff0000;">If we said, we think "I'm so lonely" the chipmunk version really suitsthe soundtrack, you would say.....? (The song goes, "lonely, I'm so lonely,I ain't nobody, all on my ownnn!!)</span></strong><br /><strong>Jui Hong:</strong>................!!! (jaw drop)</p><p><strong>Team @ broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>: <span style="color:#ff0000;">If you could describe how you want the music to affect the audience, what would it be?</span></strong><br /><strong>Jui Hong:</strong> I want the music to be part of the story, to be a tool that helps the story along. With the songs, my hope that the audience will be able to connect with the characters, understanding what they're going through, their struggles, their hurt and pain, and ultimately, their hopes and dreams. That connection will be the central piece to allowing the audience to soak in the message of the play - that there's hope, even the desperation.</p><p><strong>Team @ broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>: <span style="color:#ff0000;">Complete this sentence, "I love Jesus because....." (In 25 words or less)</span></strong><br /><strong>Jui Hong:</strong> Oh, how I love Jesus<br />Oh, how I love Jesus<br />Oh, how I love Jesus<br />Because He first loved me.<br /><br /></p><p></p><em><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong><u>Watch this SPOT!: March 18, 2008 (Tues)</u><br />"The Big Brother: Ah Ken Kor"</strong><br />Find out who this Tai Ko is in the play and how he's entangled in the web of deception with Eddie.</span></em><br /><br /><p><em><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Disclaimer:</span> <span style="color:#ffffff;">All characters are figments of our imagination and character reviews are written in the first person context to make it more personal and interesting.</span></strong></span></em></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>[tags : <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/easter" rel="tag">easter</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/broken" rel="tag">broken</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/easter" rel="tag">easter drama</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/gtpj" rel="tag">gtpj</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/glad" rel="tag">glad tidings</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/church" rel="tag">church event</a>]</p>hweeyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09943032609285700311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174843279477343531.post-34471344027707668562008-03-11T12:31:00.002+08:002008-03-11T12:37:58.676+08:00Full Trailer!<p></p><p>Yup!

I still can’t believe that there would be a play about us, and our lives! I’ve written a little about me, so here’s the story of Eddie, my husband.<br /><p><strong><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">How we met...</span></em></strong><br />Eddie and I met in high school. He was in an all boys school just down the road from my school, and we first got to know each other through some social meet between Leo Clubs. I was the more active one those days, getting involved in almost every possible clubs you could throw a stick at. Eddie was more nerdy, more of the guy who liked to stay in the background, remain unnoticeable. </p><p>Back then, he and Jin were already good friends and I remembered that they had another friend, Alex, probably the more charming of the 3. In fact, we (the girls) all though Alex was the cutest anyway. In <strong><em>fact</em></strong>, I recall, Alex was the ladies man, Jin, the bad boy and Eddie, the mute boy, because he doesn’t talk much. We were quite insensitive then, weren’t we? </p><p><em><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Things started happening!</span></strong></em><br />We became quite close during Form Five, when we would have study groups for SPM, and because we stayed close to each other, he sometimes walked me back in the evening, when my mom couldn’t pick me up. He was quite a talkative person once you got him alone. He’d talk about not just his computers and stuff, but other topics, ranging from religion, politics, general knowledge and even stupid jokes. </p><p>He was quite a know-it-all and a joker, but he would listen as I spoke to him about me and my family, about the rift between my mom and dad. Dad worked so hard he never had time for us. I told Eddie about my ambitions and future, and he told me his. I remember, there was a field between our homes (we call it The Padang–yes, very creative name lah), where we would sit on the swings and chat. He was so shy back then, he preferred us to sit like that and talk instead of face to face, so he’s more comfortable speaking.<br /><br />After Form 5, he started working in a small company, but we always kept in touch. I was in a local college back then, but he would call every day and asked me about my day. I knew he worked hard and was busy, but he would make time for us and buy little gifts and things for me. He was a very frank person too. He told me how much he liked me and wanted to be serious in a relationship. After a few months of grief for him (I knew I loved him even then), I decided to give us a chance, even though I knew my Dad wouldn’t be too pleased with him being a non christian.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">"...he knelt and asked me..."</span></em></strong><br />We were about 18 then, and we’ve gone through so much together. He worked his way up and became close to Kenny, his boss; and he also brought in Jin into the company. At 26 he proposed to me. He brought me out to The Padang that night (which was now quite abandoned, since we had both shifted homes, and no one else really used it much). He actually had hired people (or his friends) to clean up the whole Padang, fix up new swings, and decorated it with flowers and candles all over. He had rose petals strewn all the way to the two swings we had always sat in when we were young. And on my swing, which had flowers all around the chains, was a box. No, I don’t think I need to elaborate what was in the box =). This time, he knelt face to face as I sat on the swing, and proposed. It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for me. Also a bit malu, because so many people around there stop by to keh poh and look. He never told me how he managed to afford such a presentation; but he several times hinted that Kenny had helped out in terms of money.<br /><br />Yikes, I’ve rambled again! I can write so much about Eddie, but will stop now. But every night I pray for him. For his salvation, and that his new business with Kenny and Jin would not take him away from his family, the same way my Dad was taken away by his job. I love him with all my heart, yet, without the love of God between us, I still feel that something is missing, and that one day, that something can be found, by the both of us. </p><p>p/s: Don't we just love passport photos? ;p</p><p><br /><em><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong><u>Watch this SPOT!: March 11, 2008 (Tues)</u><br />"Trailer Alert!

My name is Stephanie Chan. Most of my friends just call me Steph. I heard that there would be a play this Easter in Glad Tidings PJ loosely based on my life. I am highly impressed with the amount of blogs and publicity the production, called 'Broken', is having!<br /><div><br /></div><p>The story is about what I’ve gone through, and how God brought me out and showed me that even when all hope is gone, He is still faithful. And isn’t that what life is about, friends? Faith in God? Billy Graham once said this: <strong>“<em>We cannot truly face life until we face the fact that it will be taken away from us.”</em></strong></p><p>I’ve had many things taken away from me, yet, at the end, I look towards the final reunion with the ones I love, and with God. As God gives abundantly, everything I have is His, and does not the owner retain the right to take back?</p><p>Goodness, I sound so melancholic! I don’t want to give a bad impression on my first post, no, else the blog admin would be removing it =). I was asked to write a little more of the characters that will appear in this Easter production, so I will do just that and hopefully not give too much away.</p><strong><blockquote><strong>"Well, let’s start with me. Stephanie, or simply, Steph."</strong></blockquote></strong><p>I am really excited to see how I am portrayed! I hear that there are some songs ‘I’ would be singing. I am curious about that, since the last time I sang on stage was as a 6 year old, that there is a reason why it was the LAST time! I suppose the actress playing me will definitely sound infinitely better than me.<br /></p><div><br /></div><p>Let’s see. About me. I was raised in a Christian family; my dad works in a large MNC, and my mom a homemaker. Along with my two sisters, we learned about Jesus Christ, Christmas, Easter and all that in Sunday School. I wasn’t the model christian, no. I suppose like everyone, college and university life gave a little too much freedom without guidance. I didn’t do drugs or whatever, but I was drinking, partying, smoking and not exactly living the life of Mother Theresa =). It all changed over a christmas–I think I was 22 years old–in a rally where I rededicated myself to God and recommitted into ministries. I remember Pastor Francis and his wife counselling me like I was a teenager still!</p><strong><blockquote><p><strong>"Of course, then there was Eddie."</strong></p></blockquote><p></strong></p>Ah, Eddie. He was just the kind I liked. He wasn’t brash, or boastful, no. He was very unassuming, quietly doing his task, never getting too worked up, always in front of that computer of his. He loved helping people out, and doing charity works and he always talked about starting his own charity for street children when he made enough money. We’ve known each other since high school. We got together after college and when we were 26, he proposed. <p>There was no huge diamond ring, no; he couldn’t afford it, but it didn’t matter. He could give me a coke can ring for all I care! We were married a year later.</p><p>Eddie was perfect, except that he wasn’t a Christian. I never thought too much about it; and when Pastor Francis talked to me, I dismissed it. I mean, I see many couples doing fine and they don’t go to church together. Eddie and I traveled together. We didn’t go Europe or US or anything, no. We went places like Ipoh, Malacca, Langkawi and even once as far as Bangkok! He wasn’t stingy, but he was very careful with his money, because he grew up very poor. To me, it didn’t matter. I married the man I love and know that he loves me in return.</p><p>Well, that issue grew, it seems. Eddie was very adamant about not going to church or being a christian. He believes most christians are hypocrites. I am of course, saddened by that, and all efforts to change his mind have failed. I am resigned to just pray for him, but now, 6 years after marriage, I can understand why Pastor Francis spoke to me about marrying a non-christian. I didn’t realise it would be such a big issue between us; but eventually it did become one.</p><p>We never really talked much about it, no. He didn’t mind me praying alone or reading the bible; but he doesn’t like being prayed for. He always said he made it without God’s help so far, why should he depend on God now?</p><p>Our marriage hit some rough patches. I never thought I would argue with Eddie but we did. We had such different views; about abortion, about homosexuality. He always thought I was judgmental about it but no, it wasn’t the will of God for these things to be! He wanted me to stay home on Sundays and the weekends but those were the days when I had to be in church for my ministries. He believed that we should not force a religion upon our child, but allow him to choose on his own when he grows up. But most of our arguments centred around money. He hates it that I have to give 10% tithes. He thinks the church pastors are getting all the money. He argues if I can give that much, why can’t I give the same to the buddhist temple? And why did I work and then have the church tax me on top of my income tax? Eddie was always, always careful with money; and he saw my tithes as a sheer waste, and I think it slowly made us grow apart.</p><p>I never thought it would be so difficult to make him understand! Must my love for him always oppose my love for God?</p><p>I understood now the wisdom of the verse in <strong>2 Corinthians 6:14.</strong> I love Eddie dearly. I don’t regret sharing my life with him, no. But I do wish I had prepared myself better for this marriage, or at least clarified with him before jumping into it. It would have been much different, I believe. Perhaps I would not be married even. But I always know God would have a better plan for me, even if it was life without Eddie.</p><p>I do ramble on!

Read on for more.....<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N556Ble_Zjs/R89YWS5vhKI/AAAAAAAAAHA/2eD5rLXvcMU/s1600-h/Stevie+2.jpg"></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174452401430561970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_N556Ble_Zjs/R89ZCy5vhLI/AAAAAAAAAHI/N4cMY8bHRjY/s320/Stevie+2.jpg" border="0" /><strong><a href="mailto:Team@broken"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Team@broke</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">n</a></span>:</strong> <span style="color:#ff0000;">We know lots went into this, can tell us what the underlying theme for <strong><span style="color:#ffffff;">broke</span>n </strong>is?</span><br /><strong>Stevie:</strong> Basically these three verses...<br />[+] The enemy has come to steal kill and destroy (John 10:10)<br />[+] Love covers multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8)<br />[+] His love endures forever (Ps 136)<br /><br /><strong>Team@broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>:</strong> <span style="color:#ff0000;">What inspired you to create the script?<br /></span><strong>Stevie:</strong> Fear of Karen calling me 24/7 about the script inspired me to write this! haha. Aside from that, I got my inspiration from Luke 23 about Jesus and the thieves at the cross. It has always been an interesting story, on how the thief, from chastising Jesus at the beginning was later transformed and pleaded for forgiveness at the end. And how Jesus forgives us, no matter how late the hour, if we truly repent and believe.<br /><br /><strong>Team@broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>:</strong> <span style="color:#ff0000;">Aside from brain juice, w</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">hat other elements went into creating the script?<br /></span><strong>Stevie:</strong> Time, lots of tea and a whole sunday afternoon.<br /><br /><strong>Team@broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>:</strong> <span style="color:#ff0000;">How long did it take you?</span><br /><strong>Stevie:</strong> I think it was about 11 am till probably 5 pm on a Sunday. I didn't go to church I think -attended Saturday service - and I recall playing golf in the late evening so it was probably done by 5.00pm. Everyone needs to have a healthy game of golf every weekend, you know :)<br /><br /><strong>Team@broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>: </strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Was it hard?<br /></span><strong>Stevie:</strong> Not especially. Karen and you folks already helped lay the foundation so I didn't really do too much, just added in dialogues and characters and expanded it. I also took the story from the thief on the cross, since that story has always fascinated me. I saw it bits and pieces like a storyboard, like in a movie, so I didn't crack my head too much about screen transitions, props, music and all those other stuff. I leave those stuff to you! hahah!<br /><br /><strong>Team@broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>:</strong> <span style="color:#ff0000;">Gee thanks! :) So what was the process like?<br /></span><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>(ie. did you have lots of toilet breaks, did you sit there and hold your pee in till you were done, was your wisdom tooth hurting?)<br /></em></span><strong>Stevie:</strong> Not much. I didn't drink a lot, so I didn't really have to pee much, and I do have a rather large bladder after all those years of training in my secondary school, where the toilet is so filthy you don't wanna go in there AT ALL!!! I did have a couple of browsers up for references to Bible Verses and stories like the thief on the cross and stuff. I'll add that I just hacked up a draft, which was very well changed by the rest of you guys, so again, it's a fantastic team!<br /><div><div><br /></div><p><strong><a href="mailto:Team@broken"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Team@broke</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">n</a></span>:</strong> <span style="color:#ff0000;">Thanks for the good word! Please do tell our bosses that... :) Coming back to the script, what are you hoping it will convey to the audience?</span><br /><strong>Stevie:</strong> I suppose the message of Hope, and that we're all living here with eternity in mind. That what we decide today determines where we go tomorrow. I don't know how I'd like them feel; I'd just like the congregation to be open for the Holy Spirit to work His message in them personally through the play, and through the sermon.<br /><br /><strong>Team@broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>:</strong> <span style="color:#ff0000;">Time of truth! We need some feedback on the play: do you see the script coming to life there in our practices?</span><br /><strong>Stevie:</strong> Of course! With a great director and a great team, it's going good! Just a couple of scenes to tighten up and it's good to go.<br /><br /><strong>Team@broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span>: </strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Awww...thanks. Okay, last but not least, in 25 words or less, what does Easter mean to you?<br /></span><strong>Stevie:</strong> Do I win a car for the best slogan? heheh. And you know I can't construe a meaningful sentence under 25 words but here goes.... </p><blockquote>"Easter is the completion of Jesus' ministry on earth, and signals also the start of the exciting new relationship we now enjoy with God, as his heirs, and also to carry His gospel to everyone else. In other words, it's as significant as Christmas, and I think there should be public holidays given!!" </blockquote><p>There you have it folks! Mr. Scriptwriter at his best and....funniest. Aside from his scriptwriting brilliance, Stevie also displays his writing talents at his cell's blog a.k.a ThreeDs. He's also written a thought-provoking post called <a href="http://www.core.com.my/threeds/?p=842">"Cheating God's System", </a>which is based on the <em>Jesus & thieves </em>theme. Be sure to check it out <em><a href="http://www.core.com.my/threeds/?p=842">here</a></em>.</p><p>The team at <strong>broke<span style="color:#ff0000;">n</span></strong> would like to thank Stevie for his time and his antics. And erm, we're sorry for the photo uncle Stevie, we'll post a nicer just as soon as we get it!<br /></p></div><div><div><br /></div><p><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong><em><u>Watch this SPOT!: March 6, 2008 (Thurs)</u></em></strong><br /><strong><em>"My Easter Story"</em></strong><br /><em>Be one of the firsts to hear from Eddie's one true love about her journey this Easter.
