well i did not attend for this practice, cuz of two reasons ... one is because i had reserved my place for some meeting tat i've promised to attend and it's till 5 something ... and i actually need to reach the stadium by 5 ... so i cant make it on time ... plus my leg felt sore, especially my knee area ... but from wat i heard they did whole lots of run for the flow ... i think they ran the whole thing for like 4-5 times ... and when they reached home its already 11 plus and then need reach the pickup point by 530 somemore ... so imagine their tiredness ... well i could say im "lucky" to miss tat practice ... cuz i know i will be totally drained out ... anyways they did change a small part but its something minor so nothing really new ...

well we had to be at the pickup point (which is the kelana jaya stadium) by 530am ... so we boarded the bus and reached dewan sri putra which is at the back of the stadium putra bukit jalil, the performance place ... we grouped up there and had a brief discussion bout wats goin on and all ... today we're gonna combine with other outsiders for the full run of the entire event ... so after warming up, we went to the stadium putra and lined up at the backstage area ... quite crampy cuz there's other performers as well ... in total, there're 8 performances and each performance, from wat i see has bout 100 plus people ... so try to imagine all of us cramped in the backstage area ... anyways was a little nervous cuz will be goin out on stage for the first time ... there were audience present but not many of course ... after the run we went back to the dewan sri putra ... rested there ... most of the performers quite exhausted .. can see a few lying on the floor, or leaning on their fren's back ... or just rested their head down ... anyways i dun recall we did anything significant ... lunch time we had KFC courtesy of our Ikeda Sensei who belanja us ... thank you Sensei ... after lunch i think we just run flow once more then call it a day ... finished early than schedule ... i think by 3 something went back edi ... cuz all quite tired so no point if keep pushing ... anyways at night was supposed go out with a group of my frens but couldnt cuz of my committment to the performance ... need sleep early ... and my other group of frens met tat group of frens .. so i was thinking how much fun they all had ... tat night i was thinking again why did i really joined the performance ... thought bout it throughout the night but in the end i remembered the main reason why i joined this performance and was inspired to go for practice again ...

well same as yesterday ... we met at kj stadium at 530 and boarded bus go bukit jalil ... anyhow today group 3 which is A3, B3 and C3 got the performance clothes ... we were asked to wear it ... it looks really nice ... there's blue, yellow and red stripes on the shirt and pants as well ... so when we wear those clothes, can see the shirt and pants matching ... hopefully we can keep it =x ... anyhow we had rehearsal at the stadium again ... after stadium, we came back to dewan sri putra and relaxed while other groups (well all groups from zone A and zone C except A5 (i think) and C2) were involved in the finale of the event where they go back out to the stadium and wave flag and sing song ... while waiting for them to complete the finale, the leaders took a look at our clothes and decided to make small changes ... during flow 1 and flow 4 ... cuz its to take advantage of the nice-ness of our clothing ... before lunch and when others came back, we learned the new steps ... not entirely new though ... just small changes ... and after lunch we continued learning and get used to it ... we also improve on our flow 4 by repositioning ourselves ... then we went out to the stadium and rehearse there 2 rounds ... just us, no other performances apart from us ... after running bout 2-3 times then we headed back ...

this morning abit special ... instead of meeting at 530, we had to be at the pickup point by 430 >.< ... went there and had the rehearsal again ... came back to dewan sri putra ... then the other group of performers wanted used our usual spot for practiced so we shifted to diff place ... actually just to the second floor ... tat place was a two level place ... the ground floor, first floow (toilet area) and then second floor ... anyways since got nothing to do so most of us slept ... when we woke up its time for lunch ... after lunch while waiting for further instruction, they played the performance song ... and without instructed we performed as accordance to the song ... and i think we did great ... although we din form any formation but can feel the spirit is there ... then we went back to the stadium putra and the technical staff tested the lighting for us ... once the lighting stuff set then we went back ...

well its our final practice session ... cant believed time flies so fast ... anyways meet up at 430 again ... went to stadium putra ... everyone changed to full performance clothing ... and we need wear a cap as well ... then went to the stadium and did full run ... everything form ... everything did complete ... after tat we came back to dewan sri putra and rested there ... while waiting for other groups to finish their finale my group (B3) played around with taking pictures ... since there's second floor, so we "slept on the ground" and did a really cool pose ... and had it taken from the second floor ... then we had a B3 group meeting where a few of us "motivate" and "encourage" all of us to do our best ... then we had our lunch .. after lunch we had ice cream ... thanks to our Ikeda Sensei again ... throughout the day there's cameraman with video camera taking video of us and all of us thank Sensei for his support ... after lunch we did a human-pose letters tat says "Arigato Ikeda Sensei" ... heard the picture is really nice ... hopefully i can get hold of the picture and post it here ... after tat we run flow for one last time and went back ...
well i may hav miss out one or two things but im writing watever tat i can remember now ... anyways tomorro is monday and according to our schedule we were supposed to hav practice ... but we were really worn out so tomorro no practice ... which means i'll be goin to class ... but tomorro by 6-7pm need reach kaikan where we gonna hav some sharing session then overnight there ... then next morning we'll board to bukit jalil stadium ...
just incase ur wondering which is our performance, it is segment 5 which is "Model Ekonomi Baru" ... we'll be wearing a blue, yellow and red stripe shirt with full blue colour at the back ... and we'll be wearing white cap as well ... the song will be some slow violin sound first and then suddenly shift into fast-tempo beat ... and we'll be screaming "hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" on the way out where we will form a circle in the center ... the rest can see on tat day ...
more clues on when our performance ... segment 3 is nkra performance ... if im not wrong its some colour board lighting thing ... they carry board and then change colour ... then the next segment is segment 4 of course ... got giant satellite being pushed out ... dunno whether they show on tv or not ... but definately they'll play the satu malaysia song and another song while showing video on the malaysian brand ... got proton, pos malaysia, astro and all sort of tat ... in the end got all those logo together ... i think the video is bout 5-9 mins long (sry i cant estimate well, plus there's no time in the area so dunno how long is it) ... after the video is our performance ... hopefully they will show on tv ... the event starts at 7am and ends at 930am so anyone who wanna watch need wake up early ... anyhow tat's all the update for the performance ... will gambateh for the performance ... it could be my last one ... hope u all enjoy following the entire journey ...
Have A Nice Day :)
