4th and last night

was the funnest of all nights....definately.Got to know more ppl or maybe just gotta know their names.It seems those ppl scared to talk to me *shish* Understand tat feeling though. =D Everything went well tonight.All except a few things.The star fell down just before the 11 brothers were suppose to be pointing to the star... heheh =) The sax did alot of LOUD mistakes and *squeekss*... ;) not to mention Mr Bill too who's on the piano.Everytime Lionel(who's sitting behind Mr Bill) cheers,then Mr Bill would make a mistake after tat.Pretty funny but oh well...
We didn't do the matrics last nite.They say got VIPs so better not though i don't see the difference betw ordinary ppl and VIPs.But we did use the sunglasses.Pretty lame but we went on wif it.The audience were also pretty supportive.We had our little moment of glory(tats wat Mr Bill said). Suppose to do the royal wave but everyone forgot.
During the whole thing.I was sooo into the acting and stuff tat i nearly forgot my que ;P Oh well.... =) I did *squeeek* tats for sure.Dang!!! Have to change my reed.
We had everyone sign our program booklet or tried to.It was kinda hard esp for me since i dunno anyone frm Lodge school all except those frm the orchestra.I still don't hav all their signature.I'll try to get 65% of them if not 100%. We having farewell party tmr morning.I've been invited last min so might as well go right?? =) They said tat the cast cried back stage after the show last night.I dunno bout tat coz i didn't go back stage but tat was wat i heard. Oh well,.... one performance gone and more to look forward to. I just heard tat Mr Bill will b coming back again and would be having a 2nd musical on Oliver Twist. Wonder how it would be.
Anyways,we'll just see how things goes on. The next musical thing tat's coming is my mum's... Trial of Jury or something like tat.And as usual I'm in the hidden part which is the orchestra.. Wish there was a turn of tables though... heheh... ;P
In ur dreams gal...

3rd night

3rd night was sorta wild.The crowd wasn't as supportive as the 2nd and the whole show was not as great as the 1st but it was 1 of the funness nights.Oh maybe tats only for teh orchestra.... We had to wear sunglasses and do the matrix thingy which was kinda weird but we had fun.Every night we've been colouring our hair with cupper,green or blue.. The orchestra played a few off notes including Mr Bill and me... ;P the dancers went a lil off at times and the poor poor pharoah had to pose sooo long(waiting for the cheering to end) to finish off his song if u knoe wat i mean.He couldn't hold up much longer soo he tried quieting the audience up... heheh.The orchestra on the other hand wanted to disturb him so we continued the cheer.... =D Anyways, it was all fun all esp tat the drummer keep on stepping on my toes tat night.If not stepping is flattening my toes....Darn painful my toes now.... ;P
Well then, besides tat all the mic and the electric didn't go off...
Oh ya, "joseph" sat like a gal during his performance it was really hillarious seeing him sit like tat tat the flutist and me lost our que and forgot to play. ;P we were giggling so hard tat we just totally lost it....
Well then, m deffinately looking forward to our last performance tonight though it's kinda sad considerin i've just started knowing the cast better... 'doesn't performances just make you knoe ppl even better?' =D

2nd night

Well tat night was rather bad...Terrible actually but with the full support of the ppl it seems ok.... We had black out twice and the mics din work 3 times... 3rd time, the lights were all on but the mics on the stage all went of for some reason i have no idea... But the show still went on and the orchestra had to soften down.. The 1st 2 black outs we couldn't see our pieces but thank God some of the players knew their pieces coz the choir had to rely on them considerin the pianos were all electronic....
It was actually a disaster.But thanks to the ppl tat came they were clapping and.... well, u know how it is.. I don't need to say more.. Man, this is definately a life a of a performer.This is the kinda life i like n may lead too... =D
Well, tonight is the 3rd night.I wonder how it'll be.M definately looking forward for it... =)

1st night...

Tonight was our full dress rehearsal and also our 1st night performance of Joseph.. Kinda fun though i dunno all of the students there besides Lionel.... The whole thing was ok. except the part where the power for the guitarist went of n i had to go under the stands to fix it making me miss my notes...
We musicians were making fun of practically everyone... I better not say further then tat.... too many *tooot* parts.. :p We all colour our hair with green and bronze gel.. all except Lionel.He said he wanted to wear sunglasses.I tot he was joking until just know he really brought his sunglasses. We musicians also did the royal wave... =P tmr we'll b doing the matrics move... heheh...
Tonight was actually the students night where tickets were sold at RM20 and RM10 but only students could go coz those tat come needed to wear their school uniform.. hahah chun, lyn, jess n vina r back to school... heheh... =D There were a whole bunch of primary kids but i suppose they all enjoyed themselves... =D they were laughin and cheering... i dunno about the dancing part though.
But the being involve in this makes me wish most of the time i was actually on stage doing the musical part instead of the hidden part of the stage where no1 bothers looking at... *sigh* I actually got to realize i actually became somebody in kl.. Ppl, frens, my music kaki, lecturers, church members all made me somebody.. Made me confident of myself, make me open out more, make me daring to really take up something new and challenging. Which means the further i am away the more noticable i become.. I get to be more then a musician by the corner but a star on the stage... *ahem* ok ok not tat big yet but something like tat... :p Kuching it's like.. "oh, ur ms Yap's daughter..." or "Oh, ur a musician.." or "oh, u play the blah blah blah..." Anyways,.. in kl it's like ppl know me but i have no clue of who they are.. It's not like its my fault.. Sometimes i've never met them till they actually start talking to me talking to me as if they knoe me for ages... if not ppl talk about me which suprices me at times.. Maybe my frens were just making them up.. But i suppose i'll nvr knoe... =D heheh... kinda fun being famous ehh.. ;) heheheh...
Anyways,.... i'll just let time pass by then i'll c wat happens to me later on.. But i think music has a 60% chance of being my career then art(designer)....

Joseph and the amazing technicolour dreamcoat

Well, i just came back frm rehearsal.... It's so darn tiring... Can't even feel my lips now... lol.... heheh... Anyways, tmr morning would be our last rehearsal before the performance tmr night.But the 1 thing i don't like is that i have to wake up early tmr.I have to be at the auditorium by 830am..Which means i have to wake up earlier.... *sigh*
Well then, we'll be having performances frm tmr night till sun night.I'm hoping it'll be a blast n tremendously fun... =)
But on the other hand i just can't wait till all these are over.I don't even have time for my own practises.But as wat i wanted, this is part of a performer's life. =p

On the other hand,
this sat afternoon is the re-opening of the youth room... I do agree tats it's really coming to shape and looks really nice wif the starting deco. I'm confident tat it wud be a 2nd home for the youth.It IS a comfortable place to be at i must say.. =D
Anyways i suppose i gtg.Need to catch up with my own practises....

Draggy week....

It's been a practically boring week... And it has been continuing ever since i was back in Kuching... The only fun thing in my life is my music lessons and my mum's choir session... Even church is starting to giv me lotsa stress esp frm the youth itself in a way... It's seriously speaking....
Sometimes i wonder how i'd be if i actually had a dream i can follow up too...
This morning i was watching a replay of the nexcafe-kick-start thingy where all youths with a dream have a chance in getting their dream thru this prog... I've only gone trhu the 1st stage... i wasn't expecting they wud pick me then but well it's an experience..... I was thinking wat if i wud b picked... i think i wud be the youngest there... I mean i seem to be 1 of the youngest in the 1st round... heheh anyways....
A wild dream i have..... i keep thinking i'm always thinking of wild weird things... lol... it's a wonder i'm still here not knowing in the end of wat to do...
I suppose it's just another day, another week with another dull life here in Kuching...

Life as a performer......

Has been very tiring.... I've been on the go... Everything is music... I do knoe tat music is my life but too much of it is just too much.... I mean everyday I've either practises, rehersals, lessons or teaching music... They all can be very fun but the 1 draggy thing is tat these places are just the opp end of each other... I have to travel to 1 end for lesson and rehersals to the opp end of the town... It's alot of work and time n it's absolutely tiring esp for a person like me.... And the traveling it self is LONG!!!!
I'll be or have been or will be performing every month... Jan was my mum's choir, this month my sister's school(I'm an invited musician), next month another, april my mum's choir i think may there's another 1 and june is my music exam.... I've been practising day and night.. Sometimes i practise till i'm sleepy or tired or until my fingers hurt....... This is my life... This will be my life for the whole year... Don't know wat will happen next la.....
That's not the only thing in mind... I'm now thinking about wat i actually wanna do in life... Choosing between music and art, ppl always seem to see me in art then in music though i don't really do much of art any more... I wonder y.... Sometimes i may wish ppl see me in music then art but then again... I suppose wat i'd most of the time say is "watever".... =) Wat to do in future.... I'm now choosing between designing, music and vet... ok ok... vet is out.... phycology is also an option and mass communication... But wat the heck... I just keep wondering wat i'd actually do in the future.... Dunno la.. That's another thing tat keeps bothering me actually... Or maybe i just think too much...

I seem to be awfully in bad shape... Either bored to death esp during cny, being a driver for visitations or wat-so-ever or staying home hoping 1 of my old class mates wud return my call... Wat a sad life i'm having rite now... Complicated but yet the same time weird....
Waiting for time to fly... Wanting to see the future in a better light not those nightmares i've been seeing day and night... Please help me in this 1.... I might need a fren or may not... May just wanna fly off but then again another thing....
Complicated?? absolutely.....
Quiteness in everywhere..... Songs in my mind..... Musicalife i've been thru sadness n happiness.... It's like The PHANTOM of the OPERA........ except the love part la.... heheh....

Life of a Bird

Free and light
away we go
here and there and everywhere.
Life has been wonderful though tiring
Being free with frens around
and not a sound of fear or hurt
nor a sound of shouts and burps....


Being in kl for the pass 24+ hours has been fun.. Shopping and things... I really miss the life here... Esp wen the monash students are here......

Wonderful treats..
Laughters fills the air
and smiles everywhere...
sweet thoughts, sweet dreams
some lost but others regain.


Well,there were time where i just wish time wud fly fast and other times i wish it didn't. Just went out wif my old classmates for a drink at some makan place.... It's nice being wif them again... I really miss those olden days.. But wish they wud stop talkin in canto in front of me...

Lost in space
lost on earth
their language don't blend in mine
lost wif words
lost in thought
wat can i say i gal as i...


I'll be leaving for Kuching again in 17 hours time.... M now in kl dreaming and wonderin of my future which is ohh so blurry to me right now.....
