livin the memory

my name is akesh abhilash and i was born in NUH, Singapore on the 10th of June in 1988, making me a Gemini/Dragon. I lived in Spanish Village as a small boy, but later moved to Middlesex, UK, while my father was getting some degree of the sorts. In the mean time i studied at Croft Park, before moving to Paris, France, where i played with snow and stole tomatoes. i remember going up the Eiffel tower and stuff, and then coming back to singapore to study in Joyce Gohs. I was held back two years because i was too young to go into primary school, having completed the kindergarten curricula by age 5. i then attended Henry Park Primary School, before finishing with two a's and two a stars in the PSLE, and then to Raffles Institution where I left for RJC having gotten a final score of 6 points. i was put into 2a01d, the best class in the school and havent looked back since.

my father works as an Otolaryngological surgeon. In other terms, he is an ear nose and throat doctor. He is the head of his department in KK womens and childrens hospital and a senior consultant at SGH. he always wanted me to become a doctor, and for a while, so did i. i guess things changed. now i want to do law, but eventually one day i hope to move into acting, and win an academy award or wildlife photography for the national geographical society. my mother doesnt do anything much; and she and my dad had a divorce in 2005.

i was born of mixed origin. my dad is a malayalee (south indian) and my mom is sikh (north indian). i guess i was born of a north-south romance; but i dont consider myself either, i like thinking of myself as a human being, devoid of all these lines we have drawn to divide ourselves; although i am still proud of what i am; the rich cultures and heritage that i share with the world.

drama has been a huge part of my life since young. in sec 1, i was a part of the SAY IT! competition, playing one of the leads and then in sec 2, i played napoleon in RIs annual production, and wrote the script for Destination Imagination where a team of us were sent to Tennessee, US to represent Singapore. I acted as a sage. After that i was a part of hullett houses dramafeste play, Banned, acting as Akesh. we were quite sadly disqualified. the next year i was sudin in the annual production, Visitors to Kenny Hill, and did lights for the SYF play, Us and Them. Sec 4 was a best year of drama as i was the student director of Sing to the Dawn and also acted as Vichai. i guess it was this experience that most changed my life, and helped me meet so many people, and i am glad for it. then came j1 where nothing much happened; i was in JJC for my first three months and they lacked much of a dramatic base as i then went to RJC and acted as Mr Granville in their annual production, Daisy Pulls it Off. I then went on to emcee the ICS production, Kalashatvam and get their english play in order. I also was an extra in the horror flick, Kichiro and also had the time of my life emceeing teachers day before doing the night of the year- the SDEA Theatresports Improv drama competition with my team of wai kit and hazmi; it was a whose line is it anyway kind of thing; and we won- it was bloody good stuff, and i still have the trophy. we were asked to participate after waikit and i emceed RIs Dramafeste; fully improvised with half an hour of stand up comedy. j2 wasnt uneventful either; dramafeste just ended, where i played the #1 son of a tabby, Felix, the man who thought he was a cat. unfortunately, we were disqualified, again, and then did the SYF play, "Where?", as Phoenix. We took a gold.

for 14 years, I lived in a bungalow in sunset way, where i have a huge network of neighbourhood friends i have made through football. one of them, an idol to all of us, and a brother to me has returned, and we all missed him.

i enjoy all sorts of music, but jazz and blues will always be my favourite. i like sports and competition, but not too fierce. i was named for the sky and love the stars. i never cared much for what anybody thought of me and am fiercely loyal to my close friends. i trust everybody until they lose that trust, and love like theres no tomorrow. live fast, die young. i guess its all a part of who i am, and what i do.

ten more reasons why i need somebody new

just like you
