Dear Chris
How’re you doing? What’s your new girlfriend’s name? (Sorry, I’m always absent-minded.) Zhuzhu or Mimi? Whatever, she’s stunning in the photo! (Remember to send me more photos when you reply.) I wish to have her face, so I’d have a higher chance of being selected in the audition last week. (Romeo and Juliet audition, I told you on the phone.) I felt so bad about being rejected.
I screwed up the whole audition. I didn’t get prepared at all. The audition organizer sent me a set of play script. It was about Romeo and Juliet. Crap. My response was like yours. The story of Romeo and Juliet? I’ve heard it about a thousand times! So I just read the beginning of the play script. Then, I started my homework. (There was so much homework and SBAs last week!) The result was obvious. I failed to memorize the whole script and just made up my own words during the monlogue section. The judge thought I did it on purpose and gave me a ‘perceptive’ comment. “Eh, I saw your effort. It was true that some actors and actresses sometimes change their lines. But too much isn’t good.” The judge still gave me a pass to the next round: A duologue.
It was the ‘highlight’ of the day I must say. My partner, Greg Ho, vomited on me during our short play! He was nervous on the stage and couldn’t help vomiting! (I guess he had a seafood buffet the night before!) It was the most embarrassing moment in my life. I was so furious and rushed to the washroom. The judge couldn’t rate our performance because I even hadn’t uttered a word before the tragedy happened.
Now I forgive Greg as he didn’t mean to do it. (And he promised to treat me a seafood meal next week. Yum!)
I wrote a letter to ask for a second chance but they already had the chosen ones that day! It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t my fault! I couldn’t have a chance to show my impromptu talent.
Well, looking back, I should’ve stayed on the stage. I should’ve continued and acted as if nothing happened. I might have a shot. It was a rash decision for me to run down the stage. Be frank, I wasn’t sure whether I could be chosen for the role of Juliet if I were given the second chance. After all, it was a precious experience. Get prepared in case any accident happens!
I’ve got to go. I still have to get my SBA task done.
Best wishes,
Pat
