A Tale of Two Sitis and other Unrelated Stories...

The Girl with Too Much I Shadow...


Aww... Ain't that sweet?


Barely containing herself, Jenny stares longingly at the back of Aug's head...



This is what happens when we don't get dinner before the performance...
Please refrain from eating the musicians' brain next time... Good thing we had a spare we borrowed from the Gal with too much I shadow...


Hmmm... The Gal with Too Much I Shadow making fun of The Man with the Golden Tie...

We Are Going To The Prison On 5th Feb 2006

I have just been told that we may have to bring forward the prison performance 1 week earlier, ie on 5 Feb Sunday. All those who have given me their particulars and think they cannot make it on that day, please let me know soonest possible. Uptodate, we are still waiting for the Authority's permission.

I understand that they will only let us know at the very last moment. So we need to be ready even before we get the approval. Sorry everyone, we will just have to keep ourselves free on 5 Feb from 2 to 4 pm. If anyone of you need to call me, buzz me.Thank you for your attention.

Oh! WELL DONE. I think we did very well last Thurs (Living in the present). Most important, we all had fun.

HAPPY NEW YEAR - May Chng

Sorraco's Voice Gets The Boost

Malcolm managed to engage Wu Jiaming, a well known local chinese singer and recording artiste. Remember his Chinese rendition of "Peng Yau"?

Aside from being a record producer, he is also a vocal trainer. He is willing to organise 1 or 2 session workshop as an introduction to singing. He will teach all of us the essence and technique required of a good singer and most importantly how to practice properly so that we may continually improve over time.

Acting, singing, fun and hopefully great heights of fund raising.

Responses from the emails look hot.

Congratulations on Living In The Present Moment

Hi All

Malcolm is right, we did it again! Nick and Daphne sure developed the right chemistry . . finally, and it was exuding from the stage! And, Mandy did fantastic as the horrid sister!

The next big one is the Opening The Door of Your Heart musical in May. I would probably do a few script re-writes, now with better experience.

Malcolm has suggested that we get proper singing coaching by a professional, I am all for it !! We get the Pro in but we have to put in our efforts and commitment.

Lets take a break for now and get started again on 19 Feb, after all the CNY celebrations!

With Metta
Angie

Congratulations to all!

Soracco did it again!
Special cheers to Daphne for her debut performance. Yes a star is born indeed!

Thanks to all who have participated esp to those who weren't on stage but at the back of it!
We shall all look forward to an exciting new year of great performances and Dharma teaching.

Have a Happy year ahead!

Malcolm

Hi Wai Hong & rest of gang

The congratulations were there – maybe you weren’t there to hear it, that’s all. Also probably we all were out celebrating after that -- bringing in the New Year!

All those I talked to said they love the play, acting and songs. However, they did comment that the movement of props were not so professional (which they understand as we are amateurs) -- the people don’t seem to know where exactly to place the chairs of cushions properly and too much running across the stage -- and the mic and sound system not that good – sometimes not picking out the voices clearly. Of course a few commented on the half hour wait they had to go through for the VIPs to finish their dinner.

Except for those small glitches, they said they enjoyed the whole show and event very much. They said our show was just the right length and entertaining, the acting was good and the songs they could relate to. They also liked our original composition – so kudos to August and the rest who sang it. Some also mentioned they enjoyed Nick’s impromptu part about scaring the neighbours kid. And of course they enjoyed the maid’s acting as well.

SO WELL DONE EVERYBODY! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND SPIRIT!

Our next project will be the prison visit and then the Vesak concert. Shall let you know when we shall have our next practice again. In the meantime, have a GOOD BREAK!

Any song suggestions are welcome!

BEST WISHES, GOOD HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS TO ALL FOR THE NEW YEAR!

Hi all,

I didn't hear as many congratulations and salutations this time around, n there dun seem to be any additions to the blog. Was it because my starhub email is disconnected or there just ain't any? If there isn't any, is it becos nobody felt anything this time around?

Anyway, as a slow response kinda thing, let me add my 2 cents cheer:
YYYYYAAAAAYYYYY!!! WE DID IT!
AGAIN!!!!
YOU GUYS ARE SO COOL! DIG THOSE DANCE STEPS! IT WAS FUN!
...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hope that was enuf compensation...
Now the grammies...

Hey actors and actresses, you did good.
Scriptwriters, you did good.
Singers, you did good.
Producers, directors, musicians, you did good.
Audience, you did good.

Comment from Audience:
Mic is a little difficult cos didn't pick up enuf when we are singing in some of the segment. Maybe the dance one. (Emmm... Or maybe cos I skipped a few words?)

Well done, everyone!
Wai Hong
