Orientation Week @ 11.20.20


















Day 5 (10/07/2009):


Woke up late this morning. Have to meet with the group @ 9am for rehearsal but instead, I woke up at 9am. Ash called me when I’m having my bath.
At the end, I managed to reach at the LH 3 at 9.20am. They already practice till halfway.
Later, all of the members are required to be at the Hall for rehearsal.
But I leave at 10am for Physics class.

At 11am, when I reached the Hall, our group just started for rehearsal.
Then, I watched the other group’s performances. I quite fancy the Musical theatre of Group 4 (G.T.I) and was looking forward for the Bollywood Dance and Modern Dance.

At 11.35am, went for lunch and Harwinder reminded me that we should buy the glitter to put on the Fairy Godfather’s wings to make it look more shiny.
Then, we met the group at LH 4. I was busy putting the glitter on the wing and was making a mess of it.
Luckily, J and Keer helped me out. THANKS!!
Then, I went to the hall again to watch the rehearsal. What a pity I miss the Bollywood dance.
Most of the dancers went back but the music is on.
So, we the faci are having some dance off to learn that bollywood dance.
I love the dance and the song and the moves. But, I danced it quite bad, got sesat somewhere.
We also danced the “pocok-pocok” because the faci are required to dance it during the closing ceremony of the orientation.
I asked Cheng to dance but he doesn’t know. So, Dhana taught him.
I challenged (so bad) Chee Kit to dance “Pocok-pocok” but he don’t want and asked me whether they have the “Chicken Dance” song because he wanted to dance that song.
I said:” I don’t have the song. What is Chicken dance? Can you teach me?”
And he taught me. It’s simple and cute.
Later, I talked to some juniors.

Then, went back to apartment for a bath before meeting the girls at Cr14 for make-up.
But, I don’t know how to make-up and don’t have the accessories too.
Luckily, Harwinder make-up for them. Thanks, Harwinder!!
Met with the other group members at the hall @ 3pm for closing ceremony.
We are the second group to present after the Bollywood Dance.

Closing Ceremony:
It beguns with the powerful performance by the Bollywood dancers from Loga’s group.
Then, speech and speech and introduction of lecturers.
Finally, our group!!!
Due to last minute can’t find shoes for the “Chapella”, I decided to lend him my very own shoes.
When he was acting, I’m bare footing….
The sketch is good but some funny part the audience can’t hear.
Then, we got the Fashion show. (this performance I mentioned are not in order because I forget)

Fashion show:
Got the Peterpan from Neverland and Tinkerbell too.
Zombie.
Orang Asli.
Galactica people.
And someone like superman and superwoman.
Boria:
I was amazed by the sweet voice of the girl.

Musical Theatre:
Quite nice. I like the story and the choreography for the “Disturbia” song was so cute and was danced by the boys.
I like the “Jaiho” too.

Dikir Barat:
This Dikir Barat is different from what I usually watch.
They even talked about the ghosts and the hall suddenly blacked out and the 4 ghosts entered.
There’s a card sticking behind each ghost to indicate what type is it.
Choral Speaking:
It’s quite like our group last year. They shouldn’t move their hands but they move. But I like the lyrics.

Sketch (Sad):
It’s quite touching that I cried without realising it and was hiding my face later.

Traditional Dance:
I like the “Che Ling” performed by SN’s junior.
And this is not the normal dance where you just dance.
There is a story about it too that makes it interesting.
It comprise of Indian dance, Chinese Fan dance and the Malays dance.

Modern Dance:
It was divided into three parts. They used the Michael Jackson song like “Bit it”.
It’s ok. The best part is the moon walking.
The Best Performance goes to the Dikir Barat, followed by Traditional Dance, Bollywood Dance, Choral Speaking and our sketch.

Orientation Week @ 11.20.20

Day 4 (09/07/2009)

5:00pm:
All the facilitators are involved in the senamrobik session.
I was dancing the “pocok-pocok” dance and “Jaiho”.
I was having so much fun!!!


6:00pm:
Played ping pong with Ash, Cheng and Bryant.
Took a lot of pictures with them.
But because Ash forgot to bring her handphone, we have to use Ash’s friend’s phone.
And, the camera cannot involved 4 of us.
So, we took turns to take picture to include all 4 of us.
But….after seeing it, we found out that none of the pictures are ok……
Haiz, the last time of playing ping pong with Bryant ended like this.

9:00pm:
Got performance training again. Should be the rehearsal but then the lecturers decided to come to the respective Lecture Halls to see the performance training.
The script is already written well and they practised a few times. Farah choreographed the dance moves for one part of the sketch. They have to dance like 60’s.
Ash choose the partners for them. 1 boy with 1 girl but they are not dancing in pairs but in line.
Because the character of Chapella is a girl. But the actor is a guy. (already said is actor).
So, of course he don’t have a skirt and blouse. (if got, then he got something wrong)
Ash know that I got skirt and I brought it later.
I was a bit embarrasing because I think my waist line is even bigger than his.
But when, he tried is ok because he wore pants in it. The formal type of pants. So, his waist line is still smaller than me.
But, the skirt is too formal and the cutting is so straight. Lavina ( the assistant) was required to bring her blouse and skirt.
Faiz (Chapella) tried it on later and was fit it nicely.
The props makers not only made a crown and angels ring for the Prince Mak Cincang from the land of Cincau but also did butterfly wing for the Fairy Godfather.
Then, we practiced again and again for about 3 times and we ended our practice at 12pm.

Orientation Week @ 11.20.20








Day 3 (08/07/2009):

5:00pm:
Telematch at Padang.
See the juniors play and I was one of the judge.
When I reached there, I was the earliest and the earliest juniors are unexpectedly boys!!!
*BIG APPLAUSE FOR THE GUYS* (only for juniors)
Then, I went back early although the juniors haven’t finish because got physics tuition night.


11:00pm:
I came back from tuition and was planning to go to the performance training but I don’t know where’s the location. I called Ash but no reply. Luckily, I saw J.Low at the waterfront talking to Joseph.
So, I asked him the location and Joseph was saying: “ You as the faci also don’t know where is it?”
I was laughing because I’m failed to be a faci.
When I go there, they were practising and gaving the ideas of the sketch.
They suggested that instead of using a carriage, they want to use a car.
I still remember the Fairy Godfather’s line: “ What car you want? Honda, Mercedes, Ferrari,…”
Chapella said: “ I want Ferrari!”
But due to something wrong with his wand, the Fairy Godfather granted Chapella’s wish with Roller Coaster!!! To create the effect of roller coaster, they want to use fan.
And because I was so so so sleepy, I went back to the apartment before they finishing practising it.
