was surprised to receive an email from my old boss asking me to go back and help.
and so i did.
didnt lose my way as i thought i would have, (which is a good thing)
and i discovered i actually only need half an hour to get there! (:
haha met new ppl,
and marvelled at the way they do business.
what a lot i have to learn from them..
did the same boring but slack job and feel the sense of the familarity of 3 years ago when i was a mere Sec 2.
alas! how time flies!
the place was how i remb it was,
except that Boss renovated the place - looks more hip and presentable now.
but the back is like 0.o HORRIBLE.
i only have one word to describe it - MAN.
one houseful of man living in this house crammed with so many goods that they cant even call it home.
ok i was alr like that the last time i saw it,
but at least it didnt stink so badly cos there was Venus.
oh boy, how i miss her!
but i hear that she's doing good now so at least that's good news (:
and here's another piece of good news.
Boss has expanded his business by 3-folds in the last few years!
pro right?
i knew he had that in him lah (:
but that seriously made him a very busy man.
i wonder if he has time for his family?
or is his hands aways full with work from one of his many companies?
pleasant surprise to meet RuiXian on bus 14.
made my way to help out at TheatreSports 劲爆剧场大比拼!
omg omg it was such a good experience!
i went from having nothing to do,
to having lots of things to do and having to do them at a really fast speed.
but no worries i got my fair share of emancing myself in their performance,
along with Dora, who was ever excited and always jumping/screaming about. haha.
TS is about impromptu + daring + expressive + humour,
which i seriously dont have the talent for.
looks like i really need a lot of practice in that area!
but i must say,
watching them was certainly very good exposure.
i regret not taking pictures lah!
nvm nvm i shall go again next year ((:
and the clappers were really useful lah!
and the rest of the TS merchanise!
a pity we couldnt really give a lot of them out.
but oh well,
looks like i'm not the only one going in unsure of a lot of things.
unfortunately, the MC is too.
she only started practicing today lah. WTH.
anyway, watching them was really entertaining,
esp the seniors team, who strung tgt puns at 陈随便(HAHA!) & 恶毒后妈's fansination for Melamin-tainted milk products.
ohh and the best were the guest performers from Macau!
super enthusiatic and very humourous despite the difference in language and culture,
they really made me re-new my resoluntion to learn fluent Canto!
[yup ppl, try to talk to me in Canto k? i really need to expand my very limited Canto vocab (: ]
haha i was like thinking,
there's hope for DHS's 戏剧 le!
cos like, Hua Chong's 皇城 is alr so established,
so it's quite hard to match up to their current standard given our lack of manpower & experience.
however, i seriously think that TS is a good direction to go to capture some of the Chinese Drama market share!
though TS doesnt come with all the extensive backdrops and well-memorised scripts,
that is precisely the selling-point and the gem of the sport.
after watching this year's 皇城,
i can tell you that, coming for 劲爆剧场大比拼 is certainly more worth your while.
like Grace said, her $5 was super worth it for 3 solid hours of laughter.
not only that, it's cause everything is impromptu,
you can really see the real skill in the actors instead of the well-rehearsed script regurgitation.
& there's audience participantion!
so much better than 皇城 where u jus sit thru the whole performance whether you like the story or not.
i really think that it'll help boost DHS's reputation in the Drama arena.
there should be much more publicity!
皇城's only famous cause they have the history and the manpower lor.
but in fact they dont really have a lot of new ideas and standards have become stangant over the years?
but TS is different!
more and more people are getting exposed to TS and with them they bring in new ideas!
i believe that given more time the sport could blossom and bear the fruits for Mr Jacky Lee's labour!
WAY TO GO 劲爆剧场大比拼!
you guys alr have some loyal fans!
and in time to go,
show the 皇城 people who's boss. ((:
