prelims tml!!!

PRELIMS IS TOMORROW!!!

ehs. actually I'm rather satisfied and okay with my text bits. (:
mdm even said good process work yesterday during consultations!
despite the fact that I missed a chunk of lines, kindly pointed out by YJ
though they said it was well-covered (:

that makes it twice I've missed lines. yesterday and during the actual theasthai.

haha CREW ROCKS. J1s rocks. Roxanne, cheryl who were doing my tree..claiming that I'm going to get the best tree. Its so much work, cutting chicken wire and stuff and they all got cuts on their bodies!!! =(

and my dearest darling got like 30 cuts and scratches on his arms lah! including those loong long deep deep ones. OMG. seriously i think it hurts me more to see him like that lahs. and the worst part is he doesn't even care about himself, jus want to finish my tree efficiently and effectively.

haiz..to all these wonderful people..I feel so bad.
need to get u guys something...by tml! hahah..
1)Roxanne
2)Cheryl
3)Kenneth
4)Aaron (this one need more time. can wait. hahah)

finally..

I finally complete the piece! with all the blocking.
The library scene now is kind of err BIG.
yupps. big elaborate movements and gestures
and MUCH use of space.

there are some new things such as:
I love the "chasseeeeee" him out part!
look at feet: barefeet
heavy leather boots: tried on yijun's boots!
tree voice: "No I'm not!"

thinking back, what an achievement! change of skill so last minute and I actaully kind of settled everything already! Now what's left is to PRACTISE.

I need to take note of my articulation and stuff. Sometimes, especially when I get excited as the silly little girl, I can't even make out what I'm saying.

Librarian? How to pronounce?

oh and rope movement and branches gestures got to be more precise. dance needs to be cleaned up.

saw kathy's and elina's piece..they're really good..
had lotsa fun with elina and lesley. Lesley was playing a little girl too, and we were playing together in the playground and I showed her the tree. Then elina (the tree spirit) came out. haha and we played catching too! xD

dance

yay yay I got a dance partner!! (:
Kenneth is really really good. He learned the whole day and remember it in less than 40 mins! AND dances better than me already. what to say? ji dan. hahah too easy for him liao. but I gotta work at it!! get all the movements precise and keep to the timing and beats. prelims getting nearer and nearer. I'm scared.

tree movements! I think I need to think of reasons and significance for every dance move liao. hahahs. swaying of branches etc. and the girl's runs, jumps, rolls, spins and rope. (:

I like the dance though, although it is really simple, the little girl's hyperness of running and jumping around kind of contrasts with the tree's more angular movements. There is a sense of "difference" yet the stong connection between them is definately there.

I like the fact that the tree takes the skipping rope away from the girl, (that part kind of connects with my earlier rope sequence) and put it gently back, because the rope is no longer just something that belongs to the girl, but another connection and symbol. There's something about the giving and taking. Does the rope symbolise love? It is also something about the tautness and strength, bad times, etc.

I love the effect that at the end of the dance too, everything go back to the usual place and the audience is left with the lingering feeling of "did that just happened?", while the girl go straight into hyper mood, "How are you?" followed by her story telling. Speaking of which, I have to polish up that part too, as well as fix the rope sequence in front. I need to work out the last sequence after the library story. Somehow the last part of the way I did it in Theasthai seems boring to me. Plus the prop. the tree itself.

gosh so much work. How am I going to build that in less than 2 weeks???

you know who you are

You know who you are

You who quietly caught my eye
You who caused me to smile
You who came over to sit by the side
And stayed for more than awhile.
You who met me the very next day 'cos like me
You just couldn't wait
Now here we are--a lifetime of loving away
My friend, companion, soul-mate

Now if this I've never let you know
It's not because I never wanted to
I just assumed you've always known
Because you take my love for granted too
But it's been so long
And it's been so good
And we've come so very very far
So this little song says that words that I should have to you
And you
You know who you are

You who brightened up my darkest days
You who taught me to share
You with the patience that changed my bad ways
And showed me how much you cared
You who opened a door in my heart
To allow the light of love in
So much so in spite of our time spent apart
I still feel like love's just beginning

And now I want to let know
You've given me as reason to go on
But if I should be the first to go
You have to promise me you'll carry on
'Cos it's been so long
And it's been so good and we've come very very far
Let this little song say the words that I should have to you
Sweet you…
You know who you are.
