PENTAS:SUTERA!!!
Saturday, November 22, 2008
hey gorgeous people.. ya, i noe i have not been actively blogging for the past 10 days coz my schedule is hectic... tiz was because of yesterdae performance at audi 1 in temasek poly.. it is my first pentas performance and i really enjoyed my time on stage... my day was filled wif hrs of non stop tiredness as me n my frenz stayed up to do the shirt for the contemp piece.. every shirt turn out nice and beautiful.. stayed over at kathy's chalet to do the decorating of the shirts.. thx kathy for letting us stay over at ur chalet.. we arrive at the dressing room arnd 10am n we were the only ones.. the rest came in one by one till 12pm.. by thn those hu came in were ready wif the base makeup and the glitter eye shadow.. there was a practice session for SNT from 1pm till 1.45pm.. we really use it to see whr we are suppose to be standing.. the time past very fast.. and it was alrdy the full dress rehearsal at 3pm.. we are all ready for it.. we treat it as the real performance.. it went smoothly..
so after the rehearsal everyone wen in the drssing room to recall steps, to change clothes and to makeup.. the makeup were done by the professional team of abg amin frenz.. tiz includes, abg yazid(in-charge of hair), abg busu(in-charge of make up), abg izwan(in-charge of make-up), a kakak (i dunno her name.. hehehe, in-charge of eye lash) and the rest hu help out all the dancers.. not forgetting the alumni of SNT hu came down to give us a helping hand.. as the time past, it was alrdy 7.30pm n all the tradi girls are suppose to be station outside.. 13 tradi girls.. my stomach wasnt feeling very good at the start of the day n i thought it was becoz of the RED bull BUT it was bcoz im on RED light now.. hahahaha.. kkkk, back to my story.. frm back stage we could hear the crowd cheering, talking and loads more.. n it was time.. me, atikah zu and diena were position at the front of the stage n while we were "tumpang lalu" to our position, we could her the crowd cheering and some calling our names.. hahaha.. aniwae, we dance wif all our might n by 4 mins we ended.. although the selendang were not cooperative we still continued dancing and made it cooperate.. ya, i noe some of the dancers feel like killing the selendang.. hahaha..
thn after tat, it was time for my contemp solo piece wif kathy and shiqeen.. it is a slow contemp piece but filled wif powerful dance moves.. createdby abg amin 3 days ago.. we practice n practice until we are all synchronise.. for contemp piece, there was a bit of face painting which was really, really vogue.. did a bit of face painting and it was alrdy time for my contemp solo.. my heart was pounding and by thn it was time.. we pose to our first pose n we perform will full of energy.. tiz piece actually potrays the struggling life of helmy(the lead character).. after 3 mins it was done.. after tiz piece it was the senior solo piece.. they did really well after a few cock ups here n there during the rehearsal.. i can realy see the team effort and they were gorgeous on stage.. after tat it was time for the everybody contemp.. for tiz piece, everyone perform, all 19 girls.. the first part was some improvization and thn it was time for the dance.. after 4 mins it was done.. all the pieces, all the trainings, all the sufferings, all the tired ness it was gone!!! eyes filled wif tears coz now we noe tat it was done n we did our best to wow the crowd.. it was time for the final part.. now everyone can rest n wait for the finale whr all the SNT girls need to improvise wif the characters on stage.. n it was over..
PENTAS:SUTERA was OVER!!!! we clap our hands n dance to the beat of the drums.. thn we headed to see our frenz and family.. i was happy tat malia, shima and raudah came to support the malay arts group.. my family wasnt there coz they were bz.. i understand.. took a lot of pics wif all the SNT girls n my frenz.. i cant wait to take the photos frm thm.. thn it was time for de-brief in the dressing room.. whr every one gave a few words/feedbacks on our peformance.. thn it was time for abg amin to say his speech.. he thanked the alumni for coming and dedicated the pieces to thm.. he thanked all the helpers for coming and helping us, thn he thanked the seniors for doing their best for the senior solo coz they showed hu the seniors really were and lastly thanked all the dance girls for putting up a great performance and giving 200% energy and emotions during the performance *im sobbing...* we the SNT girls, gave him a token of appreciation and it was a water bottle coverd which pics of him and us.. he was touched by it and we were too whn we saw his reaction while he opened the gift.. we shed a few tears and thanked him for everything.. thn it was time for de-brief..
pentas once again was a success and we thanked all the supporters hu came down to support tiz production.. cynthia say she was the most impress wif the dance pieces tat abg amin has created and the dancers did really,really well.. we were overjoyed by wat she said.. thn it was time to pask our bags and go home.. took a last min pic wif abg amin and all my frenz.. thn i headed home.. told my story to my family members and they were proud.. finally, i would like to thank malia, raudah and shima for coming and supporting the malay arts grp, abg amin frenz for helping out, all the alumni for coming down and all the 18 girls hu work very hard for pentas.. not forgetting dearest abg amin for creating beautiful and powerful dance pieces and the advice and encouragement he gave us and the love he has for everyone dancers..
