the day had come, a busy day i assume
so one of the memorable day
woke up early morning. text jalil and athira for meet up. i had jalil went to lavendar for blank disc and after that, both of them to tampines by train cuz i gave the wrong bus information. but we did meet at 11am, time for meet up at KHATIB! and im still in TAMPINES. its ok, its alright! a candy, caramel treat for kind souls waiting and soon-to-follow the punctuality of SSP. hehe
so, a ride and talk on a morning, calm bus ride. i LOVE calm bus ride esp bright mornings.
reached khatib around 11.30 and met the rest at the plaza. sadiq perangai, skipped work.. but i love your spirits behbey! did rehearsal on the stage for 3 rounds despite having it at 3pm because we gonna give it a miss. and everything ends when we make a move to yum's house for open house. and of course, foods! took train to lake side accompany by jokes and riddles.
reached lakeside. and thanks ey, it was a walking distance under a humid, rainy weather. reached his house, give respect, and what's more, FOOD! on top of that, manage to pray, burn song and 'legislative' work. mcm paham! and we make a move to suntec by train.
in the train, we played games and took pictures around. normal routines...
reached suntec, walked quickly to the Tropic Atrium. met the rest. they were preparing putting on costumes and stuffs. and helping hands offered. and when they're done, and getting ready for performance, my kids did their rehearsal at SUNTEC with lots of eyes set on them. then followed by make-up. the show started.
technical error, but they still did their AMAZING x 9302190 efforts to let the message across to the audience. and the audience get the message and gave a round of applause, to the wonderful heavily sounds effect, the songs and last but not least the casts. i'm telling u, SSP demanded the whole tropic atrium from 1st to 3rd or 4th level to set their eyes on them. for me, at the side, sitting on the bench, teasing hairs, spray hairsprays, bobby pins all over, was setting the kids' hairs.
once their done, i rushed the kids to get everything done. 50% of make up and hairdos were done. by 5.30pm, rushed to khatib by cab instead of mrt. and still continue to put on fake eye lashes and demonte in the cab. anyway, there's 5 passengers on board instead pf the normal 4.
reached khatib, report to them. once everyone reached, change everything and put on sampings, wig hairs, glitters and reused feathers. they look very mature and gorgeous. followed by a dry rehearsal at Nee Soon CC.
SHOW TIME! a prayers to Allah for a better performance and also to avoid any mishap. everyone get a spot in front of the stage. sat with the director of BE whom some of us knew him. so the song started and well, they danced! Energetic, full of confident, nice smile.. however, there's a room for improvement.
cheers from the sspian followed by flashing of lights from the cameras. i'm proud of them. there's no word to describe. as i mention before, from nothing to something. irony, weeks of training, hours of costumes, 5 mins of showtime yet an hour of glam!
ok, i only covered 2 shows, left 1 more. hoping to make it for my sister's show. drag jeff, nadhirah, ayu and filzah for Malam Jaluran Seni 08 by Perkumpulan Seni at RP's TRCC. rushed down by CAB again!
as the cab stops and pay the driver, we ran out just to be in time for the show. got the tix, sat at the wrong seats, and mix with the wrong company babe! sat down, relaxed and enjoy the show. the costumes, the hairdos, the sets, the musics, the plot and everything were good.
Overall, love the show!
wait outside, waiting for my sister and DIAN. a meet and flash session with the casts esp my sister.
at the end of they day, walked to causeway for supper with the rests at civic. and realised missed the last bus to tampines. haiz, cab again and it cost 30 bucks dok. alight at izzah's house and took feeder bus back home.
gosh. 1 long day, 3 shows and more. give it a miss for my VC MNS chalet. tomorrow will be working and also no no for ms shanaz wedding dinner reception
