Yea yea I know its been a super long time that I have not updated anything here but.. who cares~ (Apparently the ones that are quite bored at home and on their semester breaks or holidays or y'know that sorta stuff care) Actually I do have a ton of stuff to put on in this here blog o' mine.. but well somehow it kind of always ends up in the DRAFTS section. =P
SO lets see first up is.. Prom: The Musical!
Woo! I can say it was a really fantastic experience getting involved in all that stage performance stuff. From the auditions which regretfully I did not try out for due to certain err.. things. Then there were the endless rehearsals where I've only been to one to check out the music arrangements before the stage rehearsals. Then there's the Music Arranging and Editing for each scene (Yeah did a whole~ lot of music editing I did) and witnessing the ever developing stage set-up which never ends up until the final day of the production, and the few Stage Rehearsals with an almost complete stage and music. The sound system was awesome! had a bit of a problem with the Play button though. VERY SENSITIVE!
First few days of the stage show were kinda.. bumpy. =P
There were a few mis-pressed buttons, off-cues and technically difficult experiences (rephrased hahaha) though what more could anyone really expect from a production like this as instant as.. a cup of instant noodles! Put all the seasoning in Mix hot water Work it up for a good few minutes and Tada~! Awesome tasty noodles! As far as I've heard, it was really a huge rush to finish everything up for the big show, and it was truthfully all WORTH IT!! *ahem* Yet again I totally regret not joining in earlier from the start or I could've prevented all those nights of staying up and days of carrying extra bags under the eyes!
As long as the end result is worth all the work lah. Most importantly of course is that everyone involved acquires that unforgettable long living memory of an experience that can be treasured forever.. especially the Audience! What makes a stage production a success? I would say its how the whole production team (including the cast of course) gets to play around with the audience's feelings, how they slosh about the emotions of all the people sitting attentively in their chairs, manipulating their feelings to feel what the characters in the story feel, to make sure the audience get what they expect to get for their money's worth!
For my part in the play.. I've definitely got one of the most valuable work experiences in this lifetime so far, keeping in mind that my real interests have always been the very ones that you would most likely discover when being involved in theater and stage productions, and it has certainly showed me that I can really go where my curiosity brings me to. Unfortunately, of course there's always a BUT in my case.. how do I get back once again on this wonder of an opportunity to attempt what I've always wanted to have a go at. (If you didn't notice yet by this point I am probably quite sleepy, hence the long maybe pointless words written above)
The Cast and Production Crew did have very little time to complete everything and to try out the stage for full rehearsals like most other stage productions usually do. Even then, considering the outcome of the whole process. It is more of a gain than a complete loss. I've got to meet more interesting people which I never knew existed (I don't meet new people much) and to find out they don't really live thaaaat far away too haha goodness what have I been doing staying under a rock?!
What have I learned from all this? I guess one thing that has been further reinforced is mainly the one part that people say don't judge a book by its cover. Once if you get the chance to know people better and you patiently genuinely attempt to do so, you'll really really know the person so much more BETTER! ALSO I now know how to drive to KLPAC, some few locations nearby and how to go home from there! Ahh point being.. The Cup noodles were simply just Yummy. =)
