the stage transformation

it is super amazing to see an empty space in the indoor stadium, being transformed to such an amazing stage. kudos to everyone who made this possible. 

it is only my job, as a performer, to put in my 101%, so that i will not waste the efforts of the production stuff and backstage crew who made such a nice stage for us to perform. 

a few years later when i am too old to dance here and there, i will love to go into the production side. :) 

for those who are interested to watch the performance at the comfort of your home, it will be shown live on: http://yeblive.tzuchi.org.sg/

the last day at the temple

finally we are bumping in at Singapore Indoor Stadium tomorrow. 

today we had our final rehearsal at the temple, and the durian vs mango saga escalate to a whole new level. it all begin when xuehong flare up. everybody who knows xuehong should know how nice xuehong is, and when he flares up, something is very very very wrong. 

but anyway, i hope that tonight will be my last time stepping into that temple. i dun think i will ever be involved in their activities again once the production ends. 

i missed the durian days. let's recap them!

happy birthday!

another Water Repentance Sutra practise, the practise coincides with a performer's birthday, the performer forgoes the birthday celebration with her family members/friends, and comes for practise. the performer is none other than my ex student. :)

5 more days to the performance!!! 

my thoughts on PSLE 小六会不会考

supported my little sis for the above mentioned production held at National Museum of Singapore. she is the assistant director, lead actress as well as the scriptwriter! wow!

upon reaching the theatre, i was impressed by the stage and audience setup. the audience setup was in the form of secondary school classroom desks and chairs. on each desk there are worksheets (to give us a real feel of PSLE classroom setting), as well as a bottle of chicken essence for the audience to bring home! 

the production was of top standard, comprising of good acting, good storyline, magic tricks, as well as good use of technology that shows whatsapp conversations between parents in chatgroups. the conversations are so real, and i as an educator can really relate to it.

the climax of the production tugged my heartstrings and i teared. 

in conclusion, it is really a good show, and please watch it if you havent!!!

ktv with show choir kids

you know that there is a big generation gap between you and your kids, when they sing kpop songs, and know every single korean lyrics by heart, and also dance pretty well to these songs. 

*amazed*

西游记 - 大闹天宫

wednesday post

this is going to happen in a week. 

last weekend the taiwanese pple came down to check on our progress, and also gave us additional coaching. one of them is an actor from 三立电视台. apparently there was a small group of fans waiting for him at the airport. wow. 

this production has many ups and downs, and all the incidents that happened so far can be used to shoot a 20-episode drama serial. from this production, i learnt that COMMUNICATION is very important. for this case, communication was not done properly at the start. alot of freedom and creativity was given to the director and choreographer. so the director and choreographer made this production to become a durian tree. and when the taiwanese realised that it became a durian tree, they got a shock, and said that we should stick to their original mango tree. 

but the thing is, right at the start, nobody told us that we must grow mango tree. we spent months growing the durian tree, seeing the durians bear fruit. 

and hence during that weekend, all the actors/actresses/dancers went through intensive practises to convert ourselves from durian to mango. 

the whole process is very tedious, but through this ordeal, all of us got closer and more united. :)
