Here's something that to share with you guys. This is something I got from the picnic organized by the Youth Division. They actually framed this in a small little cute handmade photo frame. =)

Just as a spring breeze awakens tender new shoots of green,
sincere encouragement can thaw a frozen heart and instill courage.
It is the most powerful means to rejuvenate the human spirit.



Just as a diamond can only be polished by another diamond,
it is only through genuine, all-out engagement
with others that people can polish their character,
and help each other to reach greater heights.

Sunday Morning

At 6 a.m

*Alarm rings*

Aiyah... Sleep 15 more minutes la...

*Pushed the alarm button off*


ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

........................................

ZZZZZZZZ

ZZ

Suddenly, handphone rings.

*Picks up the phone*

'Hello?'

'Hey, I'm outside your house already.'

'HUH?'

*Looks at the clock*

It's already 7.30a.m

OH CRAP

Oh well... There goes my transport to Kaikan. In the end, I had to ask Danny to leave without us. (Sorry for keeping you waiting. BR on the way. XD) Well, this is because we were still in bed and girls take a longer time to prepare themselves compared to guys. So, mum send us there at 10.30a.m and we reach there at 11a.m. Not to forget that the audition starts at 10a.m and we are like 1 hour late.

The audition to get into the choir group went quite well. Let's just exclude the fact that I forgot how to sing the song that I'm supposed to prepare for the audition. I'm supposed to sing 'The First of The Gang to Die' by Zee Avi. So in the end, I borrowed my sister's song, 'Hey Jude'. First, they tested us on our voice limit and range.


Do Re Mi Re Do


Do Re Mi Re Do


Do Re Mi Re Do


Do Re Mi Re Do


Do Re Mi Re Do

I sang and sang until my voice reached to the highest limit (breaking ledi, that's why so soft la...). In the end, my sis and I was categorized in Soprano group. So after the audition, me, my sis, Shayne, Danny and the twins went for lunch at Bukit Tinggi. After lunch, we bought Yu Yu Ice (Yao Yao Ping) which is super refreshing under the HOT HOT weather. I remembered once that I actually bought this drink before. It was 3 years ago, when I was practicing the marching drill for the upcoming marching competition at SMK Raja Mahadi because our school hall wasn't big enough. I remembered everyone bought the drink from the same stall after makan Bak Kut Teh for lunch. Well, I was black that time. You can try comparing me to a chocolate fountain and you wouldn't see any difference. Hahahahahaha....

We went back at around 2.30p.m. I'm glad that we manage to get through the audition and most importantly, I enjoyed myself.

Berkilat

Yesterday went for a car wash at MnX's house to cuci Danny's Cute Little VIVA and Kaang Yib's Hero. Well, it's a way of saying thank you to our dear dear transporters, Danny and Kaang Yib for sending us here, there and everywhere. Petrol price not that cheap you know these days... So we actually followed exactly what the car washers do when you send your car for a wash. We washed the cars, polished it, vacummed it (the vacumming part is done by the guys lar...) and cleaned the windows. By the way, the vacumm is like freaking small (not the huge vacumm that we normally use to clean the carpet, but a mini vacumm) , I mean it's gonna take them ages to actually vacumm the whole car, but somehow they managed to finish the job. You should see the before and after pictures of their cars. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Before the car wash - No Kilat
After the car wash - Berkilat-kilat

So after all the hardwork by us, we went to mamak for dinner. Danny belanja wan... (Thank you so much yea~!). We ordered mee goreng (single) but eventually, they served us mee goreng (double). I looked at my plate half an hour later. I still have half a plate to go and yet the others are nearly done eating. Hahahaha... I'm a slow eater, always. In the end, me and my sis ta pau-ed the mee goreng (and now it's still in my fridge).

Now, let us give a chance for the pictures to talk. =)


There goes Kelly, MnX, Shayne,
sis and me washing the Hero.


Wah, berkilatnya the Hero!
Berkilat until reflection also can see.

And not to forget the photographer, Kelly.

Here goes the review.

Playwright, actor, teacher and BOH Cameronian Arts Awards
nominee Mark Beau de Silva lures theatre buffs back to KLPac with his all-new play Belacan Geragok and Other Prawns.

Created by Beau de Silva and actor Ashraf Zain, Belacan Geragok and Other Prawns is based on a story about two Malaysians—Emmanuel de Cruz and Adam Malik—struggling with the trials of life and romance.

Emmanuel is originally from Ujong Pasir, Melaka, and has moved to KL. He loses his job at a TV station during the economic downturn. Adam, who has never been out of KL except for a short stint at The Malay College Kuala Kangsar, lends his dear friend Emmanuel a helping hand by coaching him through several mock interviews. Hilarity ensues as the two men’s relationship and past unfold right before our eyes.

Belacan Geragok and Other Prawns is a workshop performance that was first performed in March. Each workshop performance ended with a discussion where the audience could ask questions and share their thoughts with the two creators. The feedback and ideas were incorporated into the show you’ll get to see in May. Described as fun, snappy, and bitchy, the new and improved Belacan Geragok and Other Prawns promises to be worth a taste. Don’t miss it!

This performance is recommended for matured audiences only.
