I actually wrote an entry about 2.30am yesterday and a slip of the finger deleted everything for me.(very good..!) Grrr!! I inserted all the pictures and only went to bed at abot 4am.. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME. ..and I tossed and turned in bed till about 5am. I had to wake up at 9 am and follow my mother to Carrefour!
I was so tired I ended up sleeping at everywhere and anywhere possible.
I was sleeping on the table in Food Court and I decided to wake up to have a look around. Spotted a sweet looking young man and pretended to look at something behind his head. He was sitting with his ..girlfriend..? sister maybe. yes sister. and an older woman. Mother in law?no.. no..mother. haha. But that's not the point. I turned around and heard the older woman say, "Hei jor san lor.."(woke up already in cantonese) LOL.. So shy.
Anyway, FINALLY Hip Hopera is over. Now I can resume normal life after three nights of abnormal sleeping habit. Been waking up at 1pm and going off to college at about 4pm to start work on their hair and makeup! It was good fun actually. :) Might as well make use of my dust collecting makeup.
However, Chien arrived a little later today but no problem, since she would be helping me with the hair anyway and I would have more than enough time to do their make up!
Actually, I really think that's it's all in the mind for those whose makeup I did.
A good example would be Pamela(one of the dancers)'s makeup. She turned around and Amanda(another girl helping with make up) screamed, "OMIGOD WHY LIKE GHOST!!!" ..sorry la..you wanted stage makeup what..*sob*
Before the last performance, Chi Ho got everybody into a group huddle. He wanted to get everyone to relax and close their eyes and just..er..relax. He recited soothing words, but mostly for those who were going up on stage. It was quite a sight to see 20+ of us doing a huddle.
Their team spirit is so strong. But somehow I don't feel belonged. This could be because I've only met most of them for a couple of days and they have been together since June, practising like mad. But it was nice to be able to take part in this production.
I was in trigger happy mood soon after.
the cast minus Mun Joon warming up their vocals.
l-r: Radd, Shia Lynn and Nice Guy whom I don't know his name. But what I DO know is that he's the LEO president of the Cheras Leo Club. He's one of the prompters/runningmen.
Shh.. Mun Joon doesn't know that he was getting his picture taken. He was waiting for the next puff of powder. HEe.
I was half way done with wei Xian's eyes and decided to take a picture of her beautiful eyes! LOL. see the eyeliner and the shadow..:P
When I mean business, I mean business.
That's Chien behind curling Grace's hair. She's supposed to look like a fourty year old.
l-r: Grace, Chi Ho(the director) and Dhivia.
l-r: Matthew the emcee(extremely funny guy), Matther Ong, Kyle
I was simply snapping from below.
This is Mike, our cameraman. He was telling me about the crazy things he has done to his hair. And it still looks so healthy.
Ming Choi, you look like you have rollers in your hair.
KYLE?!
l-r: Kyle, Pamela and Shia Lynn
Shia Lynn applying some foundation on Dhivia's face.
This is Matthew who fears my blusher brush and powder puff oh so much. Esther said he doesn't look too happy. =\ Sorry yea matthew if I forced you!
Ah, good to know someone's happy!
Wei Xian and me!
l-r: haha, it's matthew the emcee again, Wei Xian and me. The one with the blue hair behind us would be DJ TREY(Benjamin Lee) and Dhivia making a face behind.
The cast.
l-r: Doris(grace), salina(dhivia), Derrick(Kyle), DJ Trey(Benjamin) and Johan(Mun Joon)
Another one.
That's Chi Ho the director in the middle. Can't remember the other guy's name but he's also a senior.
LT2 was our dressing room.
I went behind the stage and started snapping pictures for no particular reason. Shia Lynn was like, "What are you doing?" and I just said, "I have a blog.".. She was like, "ah, icicic.." totally understanding my reasons. haha.
I already asked them if I could put this up and they were more than happy to hold this pose for me.
l-r: Shia Lynn and Vaseist.
This is behind the stage. This is where the running men, er, run.
Ming Choi was kind enough to let me and Chien sit in to watch the entire show instead of doing the usual routine of standing by the stairs and watching fragments of the show.
The songs are all stuck in my head!!
Yesterday was the first time I watched the part where Doris takes on the stage in full blown woman power style lecturing Salina about how she should not give men face. Then the backup dancers came up, including Radd, Wei Xian and Matthew. The two guys played a couple of timid waiters with Wei Xian in between them pinching them. LOL..and came the chorus, the two guys sang very mundanely and sadly, "don't give them face..don't, don't give them face...".. lol!
And of course, everyone's favourite is my favourite too.. Kyle's Donno Don Talk.
If you don't know what you're saying, then you just shut up,
Donno Don Talk!
If you don't know what you're saying, then you don't talk cock,(thrusts hips forward)
Donno Don talk!
Hahahaa..damn cute !
I liked Dhivia and Mun Joon's first song too. Something about the way you move, the way you talk the way you bla bla bla.. I so need to get the mp3s for these. If that's possible, that is.
This is when the entire crew got called on stage to share the spotlight.. Hehehe.. I actually snapped some pictures while on stage. This is the first one, which got a really weird stare from Shia Lynn and fortunately a laugh.
They sneakily hid a bouquet of roses behind the set for their big boss...
...who is none other than KAN MING CHOI!!! What a nice picture!
Yes! I actually took one of the crowd!! *claps hands*
I think this is when Chi Ho came up on stage. We can see Grace's red finger nails at the side. She's supposed to be 40+, remember?
l-r: Me, Dhivia and Su-Chien
No matter WHAT Esther says, I still think I look like Puss In Boots in Shrek2. LOL..
Ok fine, I look spastic. This is because someone nudged Chien's hand(she was taking the picture) and the look on my face was an expression of concern. honest!
l-r: Nice Guy(still don't know his name!), Kyle and Myself.
Hehehe.. see? this is a nicer one!! But too bad, it's SO BLUR.
Sandra Sodhy and Michael Woon who were in the original play actually came to watch the play. I went over to say Hello and introduced myself to Sandra as "Miss Ho's daughter." My mum was her daughter's JMC(a beginner's piano course for really young children at Yamaha) teacher many many year's ago. Sandra was like, "OH! I thought Miss Ho has really young children?"..hehe. I guess they grew up. I thought I'd take a picture for my mother to see.
l-r: Me, Sandra's daughter(I didn't quite get her name) and Sandra Sodhy herself.
Poor Michael Woon's face is covered by the mike! I wanted to snap another one but Chien stopped me from embarassing myself.
They gave a really nice inspiring review about the play. Sandra's daughter even compared the cast to the original cast in a way that made each and everyone of the cast feel special!
After Chien dropped me home, I finally had time to devour my first meal of the day. I decided to be kind and share some fries with Angel.
