heyz ... back with the latest update on the performance ...
Saturday, 7th August 2010
it's august now ... which means the day to the performance is getting closer ... anyways instead of setting out the usual time at 5pm, today went out at 2pm ... the reason is because from now onwards we'll be using bus to go to our practice place ... there are five regions in our Selangor state and each region will have their performers group together and board the bus to go to the practice place ... as for my region (region 2), our meeting point was at kelana jaya stadium ... we reached there and then had our attendance taken ... after the attendance was taken, then we boarded the bus ... there's 2-3 bus in total ... the "group" of bus tat i'm in is KL4 ... anyways one of the guys requested for the bus which looks newer from the outside and we boarded tat bus ... found out tat the aircond was not "powerful" enough ... just got abit air only ... so i sweat before reaching the practice place ... anyways before this my senior told me that we'll be goin to stadium and i thought goin stadium practice ... but turns out tat we're goin stadium for the meet up point only ... we then travelled to our kaikan (our religious place a.k.a. "temple) and went to dorm where we're divided in groups again ... anyways after our usual prayer, we watched some video on the inaguration of our Sensei from University Malaya on the 2nd August 2010, which is few days back ... and then we watched video on our organisation, SGM's past history ... it's in cantonese so i interpret the whole thing based on the pictures only ... after tat we had dinner around 6 and when we're done which is almost 7, we went out practice ... this time, everyone went to the field ... we run the whole flow of performance one by one ... from the beginning to the end cuz to test whether we're "aware" of how the performance would go since we learned those flow separately so we dun hav the "feel" on how it would go ... in each flow we were given some amount of time to practice it, getting the steps right and probably assign position to those who weren't present during the practice of tat flow ... since i wasnt present last sunday, i missed the position for the last flow ... then my group leader put me as supporter for the 4 level tower ... was a bit disappointed though cuz i was hoping to become the base ... but supporter is equally important as well so i cant take that position lightly ... after some time refreshing our memory on those flow, then we fully run the entire thing from the start till the end ... just once and there's stop in between with comment ... we ran out of time so after some announcement, we were grouped back to our bus group and board our bus to go back ... oh yea my bus ppl had to suffer blackout and heat for like 20mins + cuz the bus driver dunno go where so when we board the bus, it was dark and no aircond ... haihz ... that's why don't judge the book by it's cover ... or rather don't judge the bus by it's nice-ness ...

it begins similar as yesterday when we had to go to kelana jaya stadium and meet up ... then board bus to our practice place (this time the bus looks old but the aircond was superb =D) ... anyways this time we didn't go kaikan, instead we went to cheras badminton stadium ... when we reached there others already there cuz our bus came late ... had the usual procedure of taking attendance and keeping bags ... then after warm up, we started practice ... started from the first flow which is the dance step ... we had to brush on our sharpness ... those hand movements must be swift and steady so tat it looks nice ... after spending some time on it, then we proceed to the next flow ... since we, zone B doin differently than zone A and C, we took this opportunity to do our opening flow ... by the way the opening will start with us, zone B (gym boys) running in ... and we shoot rocket up ... after practice on tat, then we move out to the car park (tar road) and we run and did our timing there ... we got the hairdryer treatment (football fans should know wat it means) cuz of our lack of motivation ... after being pumped up, then we went back in and combine with others ... then we run the flow from the dance step (first flow) to the third flow ... after tat we had our lunch ... they packed the food quite alot cuz usually its not entirely full container but today's lunch the container quite full and packed ... after our lunch then we did warm up again and then learn the flow 4 steps (domino) ... they reshuffle those steps and so we had to learn again ... but not much different from the previous so we're able to get it right ... then we move on to the next flow ... for us (zone B), we were doing the turning ... so we tried tat out and decided tat using the advance technique to do 1.5 and 1.1 (which is standing and jumping straight onto position) would not have enough time and some fumble when doin it ... so we changed to squat technique ... then we did the fountain turning thing ... we rehearsed it a few times ... which means i had to do 1.1 about 3 times ... remember my previous post i said the guy was quite big compared to usual top ... so i had to carry him on my shoulder 3 times and walked ... almost tak boleh tahan but by tat time they let us rest edi ... the last flow which is the tower flow which we havent managed to practice on it ... then we re-run the entire performance 3 times ... first time we stopped flow by flow to see our position and get familiar with it .. second time, with music, we ran the entire thing non stop but watever formation tat we're supposed to do, we are not allow to do cuz its just to let us get use to the timing ... the last time we run, we are allowed to do the formation, except for tower and 3.1.1 ... it was exhausting but nevertheless it's a happy exhaustion ... cuz i felt tat (and others would feel tat) we are one step closer in being completely ready for the performance ... once finish whole thing, we were grouped with our bus group and board the bus back ... since my senior fetched me back, was also the bus PIC, we had to wait for everyone to go back first ... stoned at the stadium for almost an hour but was very happy when reach home ...
so this is the journey so far for the performance ... 20 days to go from today ... cant wait for it ... by the way the performance will be during merdeka day and its at stadium putra bukit jalil (the indoor stadium) ... so if anyone interested, u can come and watch us perform ... not only us though cuz there's other outside performers as well ... but i think we'll be the one with the most performers (400 i think) and our performance would be the fifth out of eight performances ... not sure whether need ticket or not but will post if got further info bout it ... hope u guys enjoy reading it ...
Have A Nice Day :)
