on my knees
"7 more days to complete the roof" that was what i have been told 2 days back. my faith is wearing thin. datelines given by the contractors? i am sceptical.
yesterday, as i stood looking up the other side of the stage, i knew God was teaching me patience. you ask why? coz the ceiling on the other side is now showing signs of leaking.
by the way, i am now told that it's not only the roof but also the draining pipes that are providing us a waterfall on stage.
Lord, please ........

backstage blues
the sets were wrongly placed. the play went on. i walked to the backstage ready to get an explanation.
at the backstage, the crew looked worried. one tried to console the rest. he did not notice i had stood behind him. with a reassuring voice came these words, "let's hope SHE doesn't notice". i was tickled. without missing a beat, i answered from behind, "I hope so too". their expression were priceless.

complete
our practice is now complete with the joining in of AVA team.
and it rained
we had another one of those wet afternoons. the stage has its fair share of rain through the leaking roof.
the cast was getting wet as they stood at the backstage waiting for their entrance. once again we saw our backdrop dripping with water. we could not even paint about a third of the backdrop due to this problem. and here, we have only 2 weeks to press conference and full dress rehearsal.
my heart grows weary as i continue to see the unfinished roof.
no more rain dance, please!

dress up time
the boys are shy. that's my general observation. lol.
boys had a try out of their costumes this afternoon. some need to be altered. sorry can't help them there, my hands are already full. we'll be having another costume day session to see the altered ones.
soon, it will be the girls turn!

mama papa nite
due to the summer 8 concert featuring hong kong, taiwan and local singers, our parents' nite will be brought forward from 11 aug (saturday) to 10 Aug (friday) .
"the fates read the future. they foresee - traffic jams, noisy crowd and dirty streets."
anyway, let's look at it this way, we don't want to steal their limelight, hence the change of date.
never mind, we give chance!

ACT 1
we conducted the whole of act 1 today with new comers joining in the practice.
musicians who have their separate sessions came in with full force. also with us was a strong team of stage crew who started their duties with the setting up of sets and props.
while the hall was buzzling with the practice, the art room was equally excited with various groups preparing sets, props and costumes.
snowballing ....
