national day
yeap...todays our nations bdae...:)
but let me first recount the pre national day dayy, the pre preparations...
wayang kulit (shadow puppetry i/c) ????
errrrrr
the first day i arrived back in s'pore after the trip
my bro dsnt even greet me proparly...
wats one of the first sentence he put forth?
"okok, rekha, we've got lots of work to do"
harrrrrrr?????
wat work??
"i need you to take charge of the wayang kulit"
errrrrrrr
okayyyyyy
"i need you to make props for it...the puppets"
errrrr
okayyyyy
hahas...
so i was appointed by the director
cnt say no
after all
HE did say we must do more work
props
seemed like an ez task initially
started with the lion
went on to the sampan the kampong
then the british ship
and i thought i was done
sec 1 boys
the sec one boys were to be the ones dng the show
as in they would be behind the screen holding the puppets
so on sunday i met them
had to train them
and
OMGGGGGGGGG
is it just boys?
or is it just sec one boys
i secretly want to believe its boys
ahhhhhhhhhhhh
as in
AHHHHHHH
and so we started the training
and the trying
me together with manges
more props
it was too plain
so lots more props had to be done
i couldnt do it by myself
so had to recruit more ppl
i called like 20 ppl i tink
abi and achu, manges also helped call
5 ppl came to help
:)
and we did more props
then when everyone went home after dng
we tried the whole thing
again
and it was stll too plain
sth was missing
it needed more colour!
and mind you, this is the eve of teh programme
so at 12 midnite
a decision is made that more has to be done
so i had to go home and do it
1 am - 5am
rekha sits in here hall cutting and drawing out props
she took nearly 1 1/2 hrs on the island alone
family art time!
wed morning
wit having barely 4 hrs of slp
i face a situation
the props aernt finished!
and the performance is on like tat day!
rekha
being her
PANIC
and she starts work again
buttttt
shes got such lovely parents
both her mum and dad
sit down wit her
and help her
phew
thanks to them
it was almost finished
by the time she went to the temple at 3
the actual
wat can i say
i teared at the end of it all
the kids
were so so so good
and my wayng kulit boys
were amazing!
i should buy them chocolates
the dance girls
despite only having like 4 practices
were soooo sweet
and lovely
the older boys who did the chorale reading
they showed discipline and focusness completely thru their perfomance
the finale item ppl
made efforts to smile, sing along
and they looked absolutely beautiful
so so so proud of all of them
i was smiling like some mad person
i tell u
we can put up a real production already
oh and our multi media
take of my hat to hamma aka, vijaya aka, and abi
:) :)
looked sooooo good
with lots of thanks to the master of directors, the director of the universe
it was a splendid performance
a pay off to everyones intense hard work and love fr His work
:)
nat day itself
ok back to today
we are finally going to CHILL!
no work
absolutely no work
(apart from cooking)
just chill and chat
sth we all love to do
but havent done in a really long while
sathsanging! cant wait for that
yeap
a good way to end hardwork
of crs
HE'l be there
in his own way
and He'l be chilling a long with us
and acting invisible
as we talk about Him
YAY!

to remove any limits
ive placed upon work
work to fulfill
work to justify
work to transform
work
to present
my gift of devotion

desperado
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out ridin' fences,
for so long - now.
Ohh you're a hard one.
I know that you've got your reasons.
These things that are pleasin'you
Can hurt you somehow.
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able.
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table.
But you only want the ones
That you can't get.
Desperado,
Ohhhh you aint getting no younger.
Your pain and your hunger,
They're driving you home.
And freedom, ohh freedom.
Well that's just some people talking.
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine.
It's hard to tell the night time from the day.
And you're losing all your highs and lows
aint it funny how the feeling goes
away...
Desperado,
Why don't you come to your senses?
come down from your fences, open the gate.
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you.
You better let somebody love you.
(let sombody love you)
You better let somebody love you...ohhh..hooo
before it's too..oooo.. late.
(the eageles)
everyone has a song to describe his or her feelings at some point .. a song that perfectly summarises her moments...her feelings.. her thinking...and yeah..this is the one for me right now.
