NDP Preview! 国庆日预演2007!


我和老妈长得像吗?(^_^)两个圆圆的脸蛋(^_^)

That's my mum and me! It's her first time attending a NDP show! For me, it's Lucky 3, my 3rd NDP preview!

由于滨海湾能容纳的人数较少,今年可谓一票难求...真的很庆幸自己有机会参与滨海湾国庆日预演!感谢老天作美,让大雨在傍晚时分化为绵绵细雨,并在演出正式开始前完全停止!


全新的场地以独特的概念展现无限的可能性......


我还相当喜欢我的纹身贴纸哈哈哈!绝对100%本地制造!


哈哈哈,另一半不习惯抛头露面,加上这张照片他的眼睛是闭着的,所以以笑脸取代......=p 哈哈哈哈!

在拍摄这张照片后,我的相机又宣...告....死...亡...(没电池了......)

我想它让我专心地收看国庆日预演,而别为了捕捉瞬间而错过真实的一刻......(我还真懂得自我安慰,阿Q一番,干脆自己自创“阿芬精神”......绝不让糟糕的情绪占据自己的心!要积极乐观地应对突发状况!)

Racial Harmony Day 种族和谐日



What does Racial Harmony Day means to you?

It should not be commemorated merely through donning enthic costumes, which was why this component was played down this year...

However, out of pure curiousity, I borrowed a sari from my collegue. Thought it will be interesting to learn how to wear a sari as it sure looks complicated to me. It was amazing how Ms Kamali Balan folds the sari with ease and with minutes, *da-dah* its done! Guess my form class was totally taken aback, as all the other teachers plan to don their enthic costumes before the concert starts...*bleah*

Guess the funniest moment was when the slide for the Quiz screams:" Get a teacher dressed in enthic costume to come on stage with you."

I KNEW it man...I was sitted in the middle of the hall as I was one of the judges for the Glam Slam Dance Compeition, whereby the participating groups infuse enthic moves into the chereography of their dances...

But it was totally UNEXPECTED to have my very own sec 4 student dearest Yiming run all the way from the back and Ms Angie Sim run up TOGETHER to "grab" me upstage...

Hahhahahahhahaa...almost fell down..hahahhaa, hello, I am wearing a sari for the first time can and I am not exactly demure...needs some getting used to...

It was good fun though, hahahhaa, and I was torn in between when Ms Ham asks me who "grabbed" me first...

做男生要有风度嘛,哈哈哈...

Hahaha, so the winner is Ms Sim! I am sorry, yiming..hahaha..

Here's a few snaps from Racial Harmony Day!




随想:

我想,如何以轻松、深入浅出的方式传达重要、严肃的讯息,是许多学府面对的挑战......因为许多庆祝活动都容易流于表面化、公式化......

随想(二)Chamber Dance =D



最美妙的时刻,往往没有经过彩排......

大家即兴地随着音乐的节奏起舞狂欢:

没有节奏感?没关系,跟着你前面的人吧!(虽然他的动作也未必是正确的,呵呵!)

动作毫无美感?无所谓,最重要的是你有尝试,不是吗?

还蛮想念Chamber wave的壮观......

感谢你们让我拥有这美好的回忆......

Some memories will not be deleted...




My current MSN Nick: 一念之差,弹指之错,删除了美好的回忆...心,好痛...=(

Remember i was snapping away the past 4 days @ the Arts House?

I wanted to load the pics onto my comp...and I have no idea what possesses me to click on the FORMAT button....

And all the musical pics I have taken the past few days were gone....

Was in tears though I know what was done cannot be undone...

Its just different....coz many of the photos I have taken were those of my fellow teachers:

Mrs Quek with her wonderful collection of make up...she was on her feet for hours and hours....

Mdm Parimala with the iron and many many costumes...

Ms Lim Yen Wah and Ms Wynn Chew my stage managers busy at work backstage and helping out with make up....

Mdm Suhailah busy with logistics in all areas from food to buses...

Mr Sandridge Ong helping out with the hair styling...

Ms Elizabeth Chia helping out with make up of the Chinese dancers...

the Malay and Indian instructors and helpers ensuring that the dancers look glamourous with those unforgetable eye make up....

Ms Jean Mok+Mrs Lucinda Leong+ Mr James Tan+ the Media Tech team testing out the sound system and lightings....

Mr Tan Yit Kee and Ms Vernoica Ho in the background hanging up the props you see in all 3 venues....It was almost like watching SPIDERMAN 4 watching Mr Tan hang the many props trust me!

Mr Joshua Shoo and Mr Ng Kok Wing doing publicity shots for the dancers for the programme booklet...

Just to mention a few of the shots I have snapped...of course there are more teachers doing lots of background work..i mean, its weird to take a photo of Mdm Lee counting how many tickets were sold right?

Not to mention the funny poses and faces with fellow teachers/ khakis, the dancers... all the photos were lost....with one click of the button....all deleted...

Dear Bao bei... you have a photo taken with me, can you email me? Please....*sobs*

THank god for Mr James Tan, Mr Peter Leong and their team who preserved some wonderful memories for us...

Downloaded some snaps from the school website...Was'nt the chamber wave fun? Hahahha..will upload some of the more candid moments of the ridiculous duck/ chicken/ retro mass dance!





What cannot be taken away, deleted from memory, are those moments of tears shed and joy we have all shared for the dance musical...

随想(一)





舞蹈剧"Labyrinth of Dreams"于昨晚7月13日在旧国会大厦艺术之家(The Art House)落幕。

往往在音乐最后一次响起时,一种莫名的失落感才会悄悄溜进你心中......

Sunday 8 July 2007

This is THE week!!! Dance musical 2007 Labyrinth of Dreams is just around the corner! The dancers have been practising for the whole of last week (and of course for the past 2 months) The musical committee have been working really hard for the production! Hope all of you will support our very own dance musical!!!

虽然真的很忙,但感觉是充实的。
没有一次演出,会是完全相同的。
每一次的参与,都带来截然不同的学习经验。
唯有亲身参与,才能深深体会到其中的喜怒哀乐。

大家都要加油哦!
