Whaaaaaaaaat.

19 November 2009
Confirmed all lighting and sound cues.
After rehearsal, went to get lunch, buy makeup and groceries.
It was pouring heavily and the whole of Singapore literally flooded.
BORINGGGGGGGGG.
G bought us Ben & Jerry's!
Rachel's fav flavour; Cake Batter.
While we were savouring it, Wendy called Dree up.
Wendy: Hey Dree. [turns on loudspeaker]
Dree: Hey Wendy.
Rachel, Wendy, Hilary and I giggle uncontrollably.
Dree: Wh-what's going on?
Wendy: You wanna know what we're doing now?
Dree: What? What are you doing now?
Everyone: WE'RE EATING BEN & JERRY'S!!
Aww Dree we love you ;)
Wendy, Rachel, Afiq, Hilary and I got so bored we recited the whole Dare to Dream.
Even the songs. HAHAHA.
After we sang "Reach", G came out.
"I was having a good dream until I heard 'NO BOUNDARIES'."
OMG, we roared with laughter.
Afiq kept playing Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift songs. ARGH. ><

SHOW TIME.
I bumped into Dree on the MRT.
We were like two paces away from each other in there from Outram to Buona Vista and I didn't know. -.-
Did makeup for the kids for their first show.
Got my Thespian shirt! :D
First show was good. Jacob was walking around and pronouncing "re-la-tives" to everyone to make sure he got it correct. Cute right!!! Okay, Jacob is seriously cute. I want my son to be like him! :P
Show ended in 50 mins? Omg, so fast.
-
After the 1st show, I stayed in the control room to play house music and to wait to shut down recievers and mics.
Dree: Dree to Nat come in over.
Nat: Send message over.
Dree: Could you get my black bag for me please? Thank you!!
Nat: Okay.
Yan: Yan to Nat come in over.
Nat: Send message over. [Sounded like a question]
Yan: Could you bring down my other shirt for me? It's on the chair, thanks.
Nat: Okay.
G: [I was wondering why so many people radioed me in one shot] Eh Nat, after you're done, just to remind you the truck and van needs washing. So does the car. And once you're done with that, the cat needs to be feeded. Thanks.
People laughing in the background
Nat: -.-
-
Went to eat, then back to ACJC.
Took pictures with the little cuties there. x)
Touched up their makeup.
Told them to do their best, talked to them while doing their makeup. So cute.
-
Last show was GREAT.
It managed to hit one hour.
I'm so proud of those kids.
After the whole show, everyone went down.
Nice timing cos I was holding back my tears.
Not just cos I succeeded in my first time on the soundboard, but I am gonna miss those little actors.
Those naughty ones like Jacob, Parrot, Hanisa, Hidayah, Arinah... [you should hear the jokes they make. Damn funny.]
The cute ones like Gladys, Crystal and Kaiying.
The funny ones like Mindy and May.
The very serious ones like the boy judge, Joey, Michelle, Yuhan, Chiharu.
And all the dancers! :(((
I mean, I've worked with all of them for their diction, projection, characterization .. everything at least twice.
And they're so adorable. Well.... er... okay, yeah.
I was so shocked especially when Jacob's dad stood up to clap.
And there it was. The kids who've worked so hard for this got their reward.
A standing ovation. :)
Omg I love them all. Although I've known them for only five months or so. Very, very proud of all of them.
-
Went Dressing room to get something after I was done.
Until Hanisa and Hidayah came up to me and said "Nat, I'm gonna miss you so much."
Then those tears betrayed me. -.-
Okay, we cried and hugged. Very close to those two.
-
All the kids were crying.
Also heard that some parents were close to tears.
Many parents went up to G and Ryan to thank them.
But I really do agree with the parents.
What Ryan and G did was absolutely... amazing. :)
-
-
After that, bump out time.
Found out Afiq has a fanclub. HAHAHA
Papa-paparazzi. :P
Backstage politics. Haha.
Packed all the stuff at the factory.
Macs for dinner at 12.
At 1am, Afiq, Nadhrah, Hilary and I were going down the lift.
And... guess what.
We got stuck.
All of us panicked and screamed like girls. [yes, including Afiq]
Called G, and after five minutes, we were saved.
Rachel, Dree and Wendy came down and were like "Awww.. they're out already!" -.-
Unpacked and stuff until 3.
Yan and G left at 2.30am.
-
All of us tried to sleep at 3 but only managed to sleep at 4.
Cos we were joking, talking and all that.
Afiq who self-proclaimed himself to be the most energetic one slept first. -.-
-
Next morning, we woke up at 8.45.
Sufiyan came!!! :D Miss him so much.
Then Anna came. Stole some of her nasi lemak. :P
Packed stuff when Sam came.
Went to get lunch, Sam left.
Rachel, Dree and Wendy came and we did some P.T.
Yan and G came around 3.
Went of with Anna and Yiwei [and supposedly Han as well] around 4.
Anna and I chatted about a lot of things we never talked about before on the train.
I'm supposed to reach Admiralty by 5 and I worried I was gonna be late.
Believe it or not, I reached there at 4.59pm.
-
Anyway, I enjoyed this week although it was a very kancheong one.
I love being a Thespian.
When I grow up, I want to and am gonna be like G, Yan and Ryan.
I'll inspire others and educate others in my own special way.
To pass it on.
Like how they inspired me, I will do my best to inspire the younger generations. :)
Whoever thought that drama could be educating?
-
Ps. I love the song 'Dance with my Father again' touching lyrics and melody.
GUYS GO LISTEN TO IT.
I love the scene in Dare to Dream with that song.
And.. 'My Immortal' keeps replaying in my head. 'Dare to dream' as well.
SO DOES NO BOUNDARIES. Omg and its not the Kris Allen or Adam Lambert version.
Oh, can you believe it... Afiq, Nadhrah and I dreamed about the same thing last night. HAHAHA so ironic!!
LEECH FOR THE STARS WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. ._.
JACOB! :D
