Theatre and the signs?

I am in!
I can't believe it neither can I comprehend why it has taken me this long to do something like this. Take note: I , Maybel, am gonna be in a Joe Hasham directed musical titled Broken Bridges which will be staged in August @ The KL Performing Art Center. AND I am playing the part of a mother-of-a-kind-of-radical-town-18yr old-girl. ME?!?! A mother! How did that happen? Being a theatre virgin, I am excited and yet apprehensive. I really do not know what to expect so I guess I'll just go with the flow as they say....
But I do believe in fate. IT is not by chance that I finally decided to check out when KLPAC were offering Acting Classes for Beginners, IT is not by chance that during the short "break" me and Jo decided to have, I signed up for the class, IT is not by chance that Joe Hasham, urged us to audition for the musical and I did (although I originally intended to ignore it), IT is not by chance that we had to postphone our call backs to another date because Jo and I had to go to Langkawi and therefore had a chance to do a read. IT is not by chance that I got the part that I read for although the part calls for a woman in her mid 40s. Nothing is by chance. Everything happens for a reason.
For the past year, I have been standing at the crossroads and deciding on what to do. I cant really see the directions and the destinations but I feel like my life has come to some sort of halt, a pause, and something is gonna happen to turn my life into a different direction. Do I know yet where I am heading? No, I don't. What is the reason for me getting this part? Is it a sign? The first indication of change? Again, don't know. but I can't wait for it all to be unfolded and revealed in time....

Game on!
