moments like these

Am relishing the fact that I have internet. At Mc Ds in Mont Kiara right now with the laptop. Hence combining everything into one for now.

Showcase on Saturday was awesome Had loads of fun on stage. As usual, jittery before getting on but the moment the stage lights were on a couldn’t care less. Nish said I sounded okay for my solo. Normally she says I sound like a strangled cat -.-

Najla brought 2 friends to watch the show case <3 thank you guys so much for coming (:

Uhm. Yea. For Gaga we had the weird head thingy. Took a million hair pins for it to stay in place -.- And when I took it off I had black glitter all over my face :/ Honestly, the costumes weren't as outrageous as I was hoping they would be. But whatever, what's pass is the past. The routine was great though (:

Pulled on my black coat and pair it with mismatched knitted wear. My purple knit beret/cap thing and pink and white knit scarf. Took deep breath and prayed my voice wasn't shaky for my solo :s But Nish said it was okay so I guess it was okay? I was mighty nervous before getting on stage.

For the Aladdin number we had gold waistcoat/vest thing. I paired it with my flares and jazz shoes. Topped off with a nice hat with was just such a nice touch to the whole outfit. I think this was the outfit i liked the most because it was just so fitting. Cue hooker persona
IDK how I did for my solo but I'm pretty okay with singing the jazzy style and the solo didn't require me to hit any high notes. Just hope the headset didn't pick up any breaths.

Speaking about headsets. The thing was annoying. I clipped it to my pants and it was dragging my pants down down down -.- So I clipped it onto the side, didn't give me much trouble after that. Though I still needed tape to tape it to my skin. The stage manager was complaining it wouldn't stick because I was too sweaty -.-

Oh what a night for finale was like, hastily done. But it was okay in the end (: Dylan covered the singing for us so all was good. I just sang backup

This week we're doing Rich Man's Frug from Sweet Charity with Judi. The dance is really, um, odd. I have never done a style where you need zero energy but this one. The moves are so graceful and contained. It's cool.
Honestly at first I wasn't too keen but now I think it's bloody awesome

My Life Would Suck Without You – I did partner work with Dylan, jealous girls? Jealous? Haha.
Though my partner for the show is CJ. REally. Doing partner work with him is just awkward. I feel like laughing half the time. But Dylan keeps getting us to show the rest how it's supposed to be done haha. Anyway the dance is just fun. Not too intensed or anything. Just fun (:

Nothing. The song is called Nothing. It's so weird because everyone asks us what were working on and we go "oh we're doing nothing". But it's from the Chorus Line. CJ, myself and Erika are sharing the character Morales. Which is weird because Morales is a girl but whatever CJ is opening, with the acting included, I'm taking the middle section where there are talky lines, haha. Erika is doing the high pitched part at the back where the key changes because me and CJ can't sing that high. We changed a few lines. Ben is doing Mr Karp because apparently he can't sing haha.

Anyway, need to work on singing. Nish says it's not clean enough ):

Finale is a Grease medly with is amazing! I helped with the choreography It looks awesome. Okay whatever I know what they say about self praise but really, even Dylan thought it was good

GO GREASE LIGHTNIN'

And, we worked on the opening, which is Wizard of Oz. And the storm effect is genius. IDK how to explain but the audience will be SPELL BOUND

BLOODY EXCITED. SATURDAY IS GONNA BE ONE HELL OF A SHOWCASE! <3

Fusion December Week 1: Day 5

Rehearsal day. It’s always a mess but it’s part of the fun.

First of all, our changing room was on 5th floor -.- Auditorium was on like 2nd floor.

Morning we did all the blocking and mic checks and some polishing. After lunch we ran the full dress rehearsal and we got our costumes. I’m gonna dance in skinnies tomorrow for Gaga, my jeggings are really uncomfortable to dance in. I mean it’s possible to dance in them but… they’re so hard to pull off during costume changes and costumes change is always the faster the better considering you’re sharing the room with like, 50 other people.

Initially Kaesh, Natalie, Shanti and I used the 5th floor changing room where you had to go up through the freaky lift and ended up running around. At least we were in time for our numbers.

For Seasons of Love soloists are using the stand microphones but for the Aladdin song we had headsets. So the stage manager was trying to wire me up and she was like IT DOESN’T STICK YOU’RE SWEATING. So I just grabbed masking tape and taped the thing to my face. And the other guy nearly stuck someone using duct tape LOL. All the chaos going on backstage, the audience has no idea. Okay maybe they do. But whatever.

Moving on. the headset receiver was clipped onto my pants and it kept pulling my pants down so it was really annoying and I’m trying to fix it as subtle as I can but… Anyway, I lip sync half the long notes at the end so that I don’t get out of breath but IDK whether the people watching can tell.

Oh yea, the costumes for that is like, really showgirl-ish. Basically a black tube and a gold waist coat which is really stripper ish, and black hats with golden sequins which just makes it more stripper ish.

my favourite outfit of the whole show has to be the ensemble for Seasons of Love where I mismatched knitted stuff and I had on my black coat. Haha, maybe I just like it because I’m wearing my own stuff. Or maybe I like it because it’s the only non PG outfit I have for the whole show

speaking about PG stuff the lyrics to the finale song really is PG. I just sing whatever I know because at this point I still have the headset on. 5 of us had to do a floor bit for the finale and I did a wrong move and I went “Shit” and the headset actually picked it up -.-

After the finale I had to get the headset off and the stage manager was like “no don’t touch them we’ll take them off for you” So the guy that was helping out back stage was just standing there awkwardly because a bunch of skimpy girls all had their backs to him so he could take off the headset. So in the end most of us did it ourselves.

it was crazy. but crazy is part of the fun I guess. With clothes flying all over and accessories just getting thrown here and there.

I CALL DIBS ON THE SHOW GIRL FEATHER FOR THE GAGA THING!

Fusion December Week 1: Day 4

Nish: Day 3 only right?
Us: no, it’s Day 4
Nish: THEN WHY CAN’T YOU GUYS SING PROPERLY :O

anyway. I’m singing lead for Seasons of love with CJ and Gavin. Apparently I need to be more powerful. I’m really scared of losing my voice AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

ANYBODY GOT SINGING TIPS?

*

this song makes me cry. It’s so beautiful and it literally speaks to my heart.
and his dancing is just AMAZING <3

Fusion December Week 1: Day 3

I am loving costumes. We’re just gonna go crazy for make up on Saturday.

Gaga – Black top with pink shimmery leopard print. Red checkered leggings

Aladdin – Black flares. Some gold thing on top. IDK Dylan hasn’t showed us

Seasons of Love – Winter clothes.

Anyway, finished recording today. Only the last take of the last chorus of seasons of love was nice. Everything else was.. um… we begged Nish to let us do it again :/
So yea
Well at least we got that out of the way

I was the only one singing and dancing all the way from the start till the end of the Aladdin song. I swear it was so tiring. I couldn’t even breathe, I didn’t bother holding the longs notes or hitting the high notes.
People sing with me!

Making this short because I’m going to have to do my theory. I would be way to tired to bother with it tomorrow, I think.
Though tomorrow my internet is going bye bye so… ):

AnnyeongGoodbyeAdios

oh Aladdin why oh why

while typing previous post, I was listening to a song a friend composed.
IT BREAKS MY HEART.

now I have absolutely no mood to go and memorise lyrics or practise my lines or recap my choreographies.
asdfghjkjkghfukaklhgjkkdfhladhflagfaaldkf

Nowadays that I do more typing… SO SORRY TUMBLR :s
I still queued some simple typography/graphics so there’ll still be updates for the next few days :/
After that I’ll queue more stuff okay?
and since I’m updating here it appears there too but I’m sure my followers aren’t really interested in my personal life so it doesn’t really matter.

Anyways. Determined to listen to those 3 songs till they have a parking spot in my brain, though we’re singing on different keys. Though right now I have absolutely NO MOOD. GRRRRRR. I can’t seem to remember that Ali Baba has 40 bloody thieves. I keep singing “Ali Baba has a thousand thieves”

SCHEHEREZADE IS THE ONE WITH A THOUSAND TALES. GAAAAH

WHY OH WHY

and the first note is so low -.- I keep forgetting that note.

this song is too beautiful. I’m so scared of ruining it. I am going to cover my ears and sing my part so that I don’t lose the note

I WILL practice. Like, later maybe. Haha.

#135, she amazes me

So, I’m in Performing Arts Academy. And there’s this girl that’s “special”.

Every time I watch her dance, it really breaks my heart. Because she really gives her all and remembers every move when even us “normal” people seem to forget. She dances with all she has and I know the effort she puts into it must be multiple times more compared to us “normal” people.

She’s such a strong person. Sometimes I feel like crying. Sometimes when I feel like I’ve lost the energy to keep dancing I think of her. Her form may not be perfect, but every time she dances I feel this pressure on my chest.

Dear you,
I truly respect you. You amaze me. With your passion, your determination. When I look at you, I wonder why people actually draw lines between “special” and “normal”. Maybe indeed you ARE special because your passion is literally on a different plane level from the rest of us. It amazes me, you’re so strong. Standing next to you, I really feel unworthy. I may pick up moves faster, I may have better technique, but the fact that you have so much passion and execute every move, I really feel like I’m nothing. Maybe I really am.

You’re the strongest girl I’ve ever met. Don’t let how the world sees you ever change you.

All my love,
May May

Fusion December Week 1: Day 2

I love the dance break in Judi’s choreo. It’s like, super taxing and tiring, but the moves are so nice

I’m doing the first solo in the Aladdin song. I HAVE TO REMEMBER ALI BABA HAS 40 THIEVES. I keep screwing up that line I don’t even know why.

For Season’s of Love I wanted to sing harmonies (harmonies are lower). Then Nish shifted me to melody. And she shifted Kaesh and CJ to harmonies. The numbers were super unbalanced :/ Apparently MayMay is the unbalancing force

Anyway. Recording day tomorrow. Please let us be able to finish it in as little tries as possible (:
