Happy Birthday to August

August celebrates his 21st BIG day in the Prison
Dear Meow and everyone else
It was indeed a special day . . esp having the opportunity to celebrate August's birthday! What a way to grow up August, with mature folks like us . . . at least we are a wholesome lot (most of us anyway)! May be sometimes, we may come across like a Mum to you. August - you are right that we should also go out and do things together and not practice and "chabut" (Malay word for "cho" in Chinese)

I am also delighted that Malcolm is remaining as our Music Director. We have come to a happy agreement that he will not be able to make every Sunday practice (ahem, lime many others) . . but he will be with us at all the crucial moments . . like the BIG shows we put. (By the way, we need to fix dates now for our next year's musical . . looked at the calendar and next Vesak will be on 31 May, during school hols. Not sure if that's good or bad. So, what say all of you if our concert is to be held on (Sat & Sun) 9 & 10 June? Will have to book one year in advance for such dates

Well, before that . . any ideas what we are to do for year end Gala Dinner to be held on Fri 15 Dec?

Many are asking for our songs on CD, so we need to work on that. Lets get it done in time for 15 Dec show with 10 songs on the CD. We now have 5 . . so 5 more to go!
With Cheers and Metta, Angie

You're welcome and you are quite right in saying that we should spend more time at play and not just at work! :) Glad you enjoyed your 'Freedom Day' behind bars! :) MM

You are welcome August. Thanks to you for spending such a special day with us in prison. I don't think anyone of us would dream of doing this on our 21st. I ll make sure it does not happen next year...
Take care, lots of hugs, May

Hi friends
Thanks so much for making yesterday such a special and memorable occasion: a double performance at the prison and a get-together lunch in-between!

I really enjoy this company a lot, we should do this more often! We have all started bonding closer especially after "Opening the Door of Your Heart" and all the prison visits that came after the show. Really, we should do more than just coming for practice then going off thereafter. The last week we had the blessing of the rain which trapped us inside the prison and got us all to sit down together at the canteen for snacks and coffee!

Thanks all once again for making this 21st birthday one that I will never forget!
Cheers
