mov rehearsal and piano exam
lol yesterday was the mov rehearsal. ive got to say everyone did well, except maybe me.
Problem 1: i screwed up big time by not reading ms hanna's email. it said 10! u know wat time i told everyone? 8 30! i mean like wth? who wants to wait for 1 and a half hours in class. i mean wat does a whole class do in 1 and a half hours? i got my answer yesterday. they taupoked jonathans... and threw rugby balls at him...
Problem 2: i went there in home clothes. i mean how would i know we were supposed to wear school uniform? then mrs smith caught zeb in his costume and scolded him but then zeb said he wore uniform to school and then changed to home clothes for his part. whew. hes the only one who did that and she had to ask him! haha so she stopped asking pple.
Problem 3: ben liu wasnt there. i mean he wasnt there for all the rehearsals we had. i cnat blame him. how would he hav known we were having rehearsals during hols? so now we had no actor. so i got nige. i mean nige can act damn well and i hav no idea y he wasnt an actor? pity lor cos he say the class ask him to be art director...
Problem 4: the lighting and sound was so screwed. i mean its not really their fault too. it was their first time in the sound/lighting area so they had to test out the lights. and yudong said that mark was playing on his laptop while he was doing sounds. i mean like wts? no wonder the sound was lagging so much. maybe mark waited until he died to go play the sounds... anyway, then i just found out that mark isnt in sounds at all... its wedgie so now i hav no idea wats happening.
Problem 5: timetimetime. time is always a problem. i mean we had 1 hour exactly. no im serious. no second more. in fact 10 min before we were done, 2Q came streaming in with all their plants and benches and were blocking the lighting people's view. and the actors got distracted.
Problem 6: the cueing was horrible. i mean all the actors memorised their scripts word perfect. its just they forgot when to say that line. so someone would talk... lagggg... uh yuhsuen its your turn... huh? me? oh sorry... [talktalk]... lagggg.... uh yuhsuen its still your line.... and so this went on for all the actors. and some pple didnt know where to stand and all. the second rehearsal was much better than the first but we didnt get to finsih it.
Problem 7: the stage hands got distracted. i mean like i gues they were bored cos they had no idea wat they were supposed to do cos i didnt tell them. haiz. so when i went backstage to check, isaac was pumping. then ken was saying "its not a proper push up" then isaac was "yah it so is lor... lemme see u" then ken do a proper push up and then i come in and "ahem? isaac and ken wat u doing?" then they start saying each other started first. i mean the stage hands must hav been super bored.
aiya no use saying now. AT LEAST MY PIANO EXAM IS OVER AND I QUIT THE STUDIO SO NOW I CAN GO BACK TO PLAYING SOFTBALL!!! WOOT!!! i guess i did alright for my scales and songs but for my sightreading, i completely screwed it up! i mean she gave me 5 shrarps (#) and i was supposed to play in half a minute so i got to the second bar when tehre were at leasst 15 bars and i jsut screwed it up! i mean 5 sharps!!! who gives 5 sharps u ask me? not even the piano pieces for grade 5 hav 5 sharps and this was impromptu!!! but still i cant complain cos im not good at sightreading. haiz and during aural, my voice started breaking apart so i think i failed that too. but its over now AND I CAN GO BACK TO PLAYING SOFTBALL!
