Hi Xueling & Leon,
Yes, the performance was taped so you won’t miss the action!
Personally, I thought it was the BEST Soracco we had so far too!! The acting crew was great!! The backstage support & lightings were Great too!! I think all these were complemented by the choice of the venue, Jubilee Hall @ Raffles Hotel of which everyone got to see the action on stage clearly and the sound system is good.
Xueling, I guess you have known by now that your songs of “The Incredible You”, “We are the Young Ones”, “Life can do more than You” were released in the {Opening the Door of Your Heart/Passage of Time} album. Among which, I like “The Incredible You” very much. It’s very uplifting!
Hope to see you back soon! (Along with some new composed songs? :’P)
:’) With Metta & Happiness,
JAG
*Last Night of Performance!! Let’s Give it ALL that We’ve Got!!! The GRAND FINALE...
* * *
Heh… :) ok… you make me wanna fly there and catch the show. Congrats on the good performance everyone!
I didn't know Leon is overseas also?
Yup Jag, Aug sent me and Su-May the songs.. (pirating :) LOL)… I'm having the songs on repeat now. I’m obsessed with Huiling's song… i like it! the lyrics are so touching. I’ve got one new song. Sorry, stressful semester, no time to write songs… the only one i can think of are lyrics like. "I go craaaaazy, when i look at my books."
By the way, which bookstores are selling the CD ah? My dad wanna go and buy.
With metta,
Xueling

Xueling, I’ve got your song Incredible You on repeat in my car as well (I don’t know which button to press for digital repeat so I keep manually having to press the song number haha). I was singing ‘Incredible You’ with the band during rehearsals yesterday too. Great song I love it man. Let’s continue to make great music in praise of the Dharma! Good luck for your exams!

Hey guys, it was a FANTASTIC musical that we put up the last 3 nights. I had a really great experience putting up the show with such an excellent cast, band, and technical crew. You guys were simply amazing. I think it is the BEST show that we’ve put up in all 3 years and we got really rave reviews for this year. Auntie Koh, Mr Lim, all Mei Lyes of the 3 generations, I think we had great chemistry on stage. Love you all to bits!

Fantastic show guys! All my friends that came said it was very good. Couldn’t believe that most of us are amateurs. The energy in everyone was just amazing. Every one of us was dedicated and passionate to put up an awesome show. Indeed impressive!
Actually, on the last show, I was down with stomach flu and wasn’t feeling too good but the moment the show starts, it’s like an injection of adrenaline that just cures everything.
Feeling much better today but not tip top yet.
See you guys soon...........
By the way, anyone interested to catch Dim Sum Dollies in July?

Hey folks!
WELL DONE!!! We ran a great show the past 3 nights despite the scary pre-show glitches that threatened to mar our run. My folks and friends who came had praises for the show and for all those involved. They are amazed at how spontaneous we are in putting the whole thing together.
Thanks to everyone for believing in everyone. Thanks for teaching me how to be a better musician and musical director through this collaboration. Thanks Angie, Mal and Ai Ling for giving me the chance to experience this. I feel I’ve gained more before I started doing this show.
Thanks especially to our unsung heroes - Pei Chong, Brothers Ong and Fook, Kelvin, Jiashun, Rong Han, Xin Qiang, Jayson, Peter, Tusita, our sisters who took charge of the costumes, Eng Chin, Benny and his transport team, Sabrina and the brothers and sisters who manned the front desk, our ushers - you guys took care of all the nitty-gritty’s while we concentrated on delivering the show. Unfortunately I do not have everyone’s contacts so I hope in some way my thanks can get to them.
Thanks to iceball, Hui Ling and Vivy for inspiring me with your songs. Trust me the arrangements were inspired by the tunes and lyrics.
Thanks for the smashing celebration, the card and the mug: have had the good karma to spend another b’dae playing for u guys!
Last but not least: thanks for the friendship :-)
Cheers
Aug
PS Apologies as usual I don’t have everyone’s emails, apologies if I’ve missed out anyone from the thread.
* * *
Added the email list from Ai Lang’s past announcement here, so hope we’ve caught everyone now. (Or at least a few more than before.)
Echoing all who’ve spoken up... Thanks everyone for working on this show and making it a good memory. ^_^
Can also recall the blunders I made (coming late, bumped the headset, disappearing to backstage, sang the wrong lines, etc...) so let me also say sorry for the inconvenience caused. =D (so now I can get over it!)
...will upload photos once I get the time...
And finally let’s continue to rock!
*plug for Moonlight* *hint hint*
I’ll be out of town for a few months starting this weekend, but looking forward to work with you all again when I’m back!

Yabadabadoooo!!!
It’s always nice to see things from another perspective. From the audience’s seat, it was every bit as enjoyable.
You all did great again! Stunning cast, great showmanship, white flashing smiles, great sets, costumes, lighting transitions and of course the original soundtrack. Great to see happy new faces on the stage and soaking it up.
MMM, your debut as a staged doctor was outstanding. Now, did you really have a medical background or was it all staged?
Vivy, good to see you doing that solo! Nice use of stage space and didn’t notice anything wrong at all. Sorry to hear that u would be away.
Wenjie, behind every successful man, is a woman. Yours is Mdm Koh no doubt.
Alvin, gee, you really brought out that father figure in you. And all along I though you were just a bad boy character. ;)
Nick, great save, at the end with the mike when Dafy’s didn’t work.
Teoh Hui Lin, great start. Hope many more to come...
Choir, backstage guys, the rest of em, kudos...
The pros, i.e. Angie, Nick, Swee Lin, Daphne, Ben & Clara, August, Ai Ling, MMM, yet another masterpiece, as usual.
August, seems like we are watching u grow up all the while...
Would love to name everyone, but won’t not cos u guys aren’t special, but becos I’m extremely bz working...
All the 3 friends whom I brought to the show (for the first time) enjoyed it immensely, had a great time and nothing but praises.
Keep it up!

Hi everyone
You guys and gals said it ALL below – the kudos, etc.
Thanks to everyone for putting in the time, effort, dedication and enthusiasm into the show. Two of my friends who came last night said it was very entertaining and yet was able to show how one can learn from lessons dealt in life. They said everyone was really professional in their roles, and they also loved the set (even though it’s just a simple one), costumes, music and singing.
They thought the baby scene was purposely staged that way and it was hilarious. Of course, I told them the baby swap (from real baby to doll) was not supposed to happen. Ha! Ha!
We’ll be doing the “Passage of Time” Finale, Keep It Simple (cast version – Alvin, Hui Ling & Wen Jie) and a couple of solo songs for Vesak Day, so please keep May 31 morning free. Also we’ll need one run-through before that day – probably on May 30 night? Will confirm rehearsal date and time later this week.
KEEP SMILING!

Congratulations to Everyone for a Job Well Done!!!
To me, and I believe all, if not many, felt it too... is THE BEST Soracco we had so far!!!
I felt it since the first night when the audience were all so awesome too!!!
Not to mention the least responsive audience on Sunday was saved by Swee Lin’s professional quick wittedness in saying “since no one laugh at my jokes, I laugh myself lor... heh heh heh heh”.. The way she say it was so hilarious that Stacey and I couldn’t hold our laughters but laugh our hearts out together with the audience.. From that instant, they were all warmed up.. Mandy’s bunny teeth performances sent many who came left with stomach cramps too! Of cos the same applies for our multi-disciplinary talented octo-linguistic rapper, crossdresser, show(o)manship Wenjie - aka Auntie Koh, the Super Duper cross-dresser who has since this Play having identity crisis of his gender!!!!
Our Dr MM skilful reading off his lines from his “medical record file” acting was so well concealed by his serious tone of “I’m afraid she did not make it”!!! Nick’s First Love, Angie - This S’pore Iron Lady needs no guidance when it comes to acting any roles!! Next time, we should try asking her to take on a more challenging role.. Erm... a Prawn? And how can we forget Nick’s mistress, Lena Seah. She sure makes many guys’ head hardened with her stamping of feet at the close of the mistress scene, asking for a bungalow in Johor Bahru.
Alvin & Huiling for their roles of Mr & Mrs Lim singing “Keep it simple” alongside Auntie Koh (again!) that pushes the Play to a Height we have never scale. Kudos!!!!!! And of cos, Huiling’s composed songs of “This Too Will Pass” and “Letting Them Go” melted the hearts of many and all my friends who came love Huiling’s songs so much. Not forgetting our Nick’s & Hulin’s Best Male/Female award winning Oscar/Golden Globe/Golden Horse performances, of which their common contender is none other than Auntie Koh, vying for both awards!!!! (Note: Swee Lin over-qualified for this award & is hence automatically taken out from this category)
The beginning scenes of our “closer to 60 than 50” Gonggong Peter Choo & our 2 promising rising stars which kickstart the whole “Passage of Time” juz like how the Dharma Wheel was turned by Lord Buddha 2,500 years ago. Daphne in her role of mother delivering the Masterpiece, Opening the Door of Your Heart with such angelic voice in a devilish makeover! This teaches all of us a lesson of the old adage of “Not to judge a book by its cover”! Last but not least, the irritable Sister Four, Liyan who somehow “irritates” me more off-stage than on-stage by asking me several times how she acted every single night!!! Hahaa.. Ok, Kudos to her too for spicing up the scenes wif her jealousy sacarstic-ness!!!
All these acting would be empty without our Super Band Performaces led by our Music Shen aka God, August Lum & Dr Malcolm Mah with our Cool Dude Drummer Patrick Ang.. & our Choir (Ronghan, Jayson, Hady, Vivy (another Great solo-ist too!) Stacey, Christina, May and all acting crew) led by “Goldheart” Ailing, though some of us forgot to look at her.. at times?!.. Oops!!! Haha.. Fyi, August has his 3rd consecutive Birthday doing Soracco performances!!! I guess that’s how he wishes his many birthdays to come to be celebrated too!!!
Last last last but not least, the unsung heros/heroines who made “Passage of Time” all possible:
Make up artistes: Lena Seah (Hairstylist, David Gan No. 2), Chan-mali-chan May Wern (Make-over Princess) led by Beauty Lisa
Backstage: Ronghan, Jiashun, Dhamminda Thow, Le Khing, Yamin led by our Garung Backstage Manager, Peichong
Lighting crew: Calvin & Fook led by our Manhunt (aka “Meng Nan”) cum Volunteer Head Bro Ong
Reception/Sales: Siew Khim, Connia Sia, Elaine Chung, Irene, Ivy Koo, Verena Tan, Jas Ang led by Anne Foo & our Professional BF Manager, Eng Chin
Urshers: Bro Ho K H (van service too!!), Helen Quek, Peng Yock & Jan Dharmaputra Lim led by our Great Cook Helen Goo..
Thank you once again to everyone who made it all possible!!! Sadhu x 3!!!!!
(N.B. I sincerely apologises to anyone whom i have accidentally miss out in the crew above)
With Metta & Happiness,
Jayson Abhayo Goh (Jag)

I echo all the kudos and congrats to everyone for having done such a fantastic job! I could not have put them in better words.
The biggest compliment was to have been asked to restage the show . . . so ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, please mark your calendar that the new staging is most likely to be 7 - 9Dec at DBS Auditorium. Unfortunately, Esplanade and Drama Centre are fully booked in Dec else it would have been there!
Xue Ling and Su May - any chance you will be home then?
In case you are wondering why I had not “spoken” over the internet yesterday . . . well, after the celebration party in my house on Sunday, with some sleep, my morning job at 7am which my aching body protested leaving the bed, was to cook bacon and eggs for Ajahn Brahm… the rest of the day, I was half a zombie at work. Went to bed last night at 8:30pm and crashed out!
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, you have all been wonderful and the best people to grow up with, spiritually and otherwise.
Lets have fun on Vesak Day at 9am (new centre) doing the finale gig once again! This Sat is Moonlight; please come and keep the spirit alive . . . Wen Jie, please remember to send a blast out to the members on Moonlight.
Love
Angie

Ha ha! With your detailed and creative write up Jason, I believe you have passed the audition to be Soracco’s marketing and promotional manager! You start work this very minute! Thank you for all the positive feedback!
Congratulations Soracco on another successful musical! I must say I was riveted to all that was going on stage. On the final night I was so captivated by the acting that I actually forgot to play the bass on not one but a few occasions!
Great job everybody. Thank you all (on and off stage).
August, what can I say man.......YOU DA BEST!! I’m thoroughly impressed and mind you I’ve been noting and studying all that you have been playing and writing! Thank you for being an inspiration! :) But most of all thank you for all the effort that you’ve put in.
THANK YOU ALL FOR PUTTING THE DHARMA ON STAGE!!!

Hey everyone! Sorrry for this late shout out. I was very, very tired. I seem to always fall sick around Vesak Day and performances. There must be some kind of karmic link.
Anyway, everything's been said and done, but I'm gonna say it anyway: Great job everyone! It's been a real pleasure working with all of you (even though I'm always falling asleep or mucking around during rehearsals). Your dedication is very inspiring to a bum like me.
As for those of you who were overseas during this period, we'll see you when you get back. Don't worry, plenty more Soracco musicals to come, if I'm not wrong.
Much love everyone. May your lives be filled with great things, and mine with restful sleep.
Hugs,
Daph
