Musical Theatre Workshop

Its finally over. Well, it was a great 4 says and i really learned alot! Thanks so much Stephanie :D That girl is truly amazing. This is one workshop i'll never forget. I met so many new people who are really talented and friendly. ISo this it what we did throughout the workshop.



Day 1#

We watched this sermon from i dont know what but it was seriously amazing. It was about the universe and all the galaxies in it. And at the core of thefarest galaxy which is like 320 million light years away, theres something called the x structure. You know what it actually looks like? i really looks like cross!! It was so beautiful!!! Anyways, Stephanie explained to us about the song we were gonna do and what it was about and were its from. Its called "The Human Heart" and its from the musical "Once On This Island" which Stephanie performed for her graduation. So we watched the first bit of the musical, did some funny warm ups and learned part of the song.



Day 2#

Theres was alot about carribean style movements. It was super funny cause we did stuff like the chicken leg etc. Unfortunately, Sammy got injured and couldnt join us. I felt super bad for her cause all she could go was sit there and watch us...Other than that, we went on to this method of acting called story telling. Stephanie had us stand in a circle and kind of create the first thing that came to our mind and pass it on to the next person. My object was super weird. It was kinda like a box or something, like a treasure chest. Finally, we got into groups and "story told" the first 4 lines of our song. My groups went with the tv channel theme. Each person represents a channel, a line in the song. I was a sleepwalker(a dreamer)Once the viewer(kenny) went through all channels, someone called him away( lead him to the truth).



Day 3#

Now day 3 was interesting! When i got there, there was two new guys. One of which i found really haute!! Of course i wasnt there only one. Kate, Sarah and i shared the same view :P Moving on, all the girls went with Kenny to learn some movements to go along wiht the song we were singing. But then 4 girls left to learn the alto part. When we were done, we went back to learn the rest of the some. Finally, the song was comepleted and put together with all the separate parts(soprano,alto,tenor,bass). It sounded so cool. Really nice. We did this character thing where we had to close our eyes and Stephanie guided us, telling us things to imagine. Then we drew and wrote all the things we individually saw in our minds onto this big majong paper. Oh yeah that guys name is Aaron and he was in the YKLS with Balqis and my brother.



Day 4#

The day of our performance! We just touched up on the song and dance. But for some reason, the more i sang, the worse i sounded. Maybe it was cause of the itchy feeling i had in my throat.. Anyways, the performance went well and all even though i was pretty nervous. After that, we were treated to a performance of 2 songs by Stephanie, one of which she composed herself. Then Aaron sang a song for us too, from the musical Les Miserable 'Stars'. His voice is SO amazing!

stupidity's the name

My, my, my its been a while. Really a while!! This is seriously starting to become a problem. You know why? because I go online like once in 2 weeks or something like that.

Ok, the reason this post is called "stupidity's the name" because thats what iv been for the past few weeks.

First, last friday, at cheer practice, i was trying to do a handstand. And mind you, iv never done a handstand before. You wanna know what happened. Go ahead, take a guess. Nope? Dont know? Ok i'll spill the beans. I was so smart, cause when i did the handstand, i lost balance and fell*hard* on my shoulder and head. Shoulder hit the ground first followed my my head and finally, the rest of my body. Everyone was like "are you ok, are you ok?". The rest of my body felt ok except for my shoulder and neck. Didnt hurt that much at first but slowly, the pain grew. I tried getting people to pull my hand in hopes that that would help. No such luck.

So i went home and told my dad. Then he tried pulling but when i said it still hurt. He said i probably injured the muscle. Badly. So on sunday, my parents took me to think chinese chiropractor. Now comes the gross yet funny part. The doc told me that i had slightly dislocated my shoulder. Its stupid cause i was like "wow serious?!" I didnt actually feel that much pain to think that i did that kinda damage. Anways, i was told to avoid any form of strain on my shoulder for at least a week. And i followed his orders, up until today that is.

During PJ today, my captain asked that we do a little practice, since we werent having practice later. I have to admit, i was reluctent to do so because my shoulder still hurt and i was afraid i would injure it more. But regardless, i followed my captains orders. I did a few jumps and stuff. Then i supported soorah in one elevation and my shoulder already started hurting! I mean really hurt. I knew i shouldnt have done it but yeah. So i went home and told my dad and he called me a silly girl for doing that even when my shoulder was still hurting.

Final stupid move was at church earlier. I asked kate to show me this one move, the sitting on the shoulders thing. For some reason, i couldnt get my leg over onto kates shoulder and was stuck dangling there, mid-air. I was trying my best to reach the floor to brace myself for the fall but just as i was half a foot or so from the floor, kate lost balance and fell because i was putting all my weight back to lower myself to the floor. So i fell and really hit my hand into the floor ,then my shoulder. When i got up, my shoulder was practically burning and my hand had a carpet burn on it and was bruised a little.

Regardless of all the bumps and bruised iv accumilated over this one week, im still ok. A bit banged up but ok. So thats a good thing. I really hope my arm gets better by next week. Its starting to get annoying everytime i wake up, my shoulder hurts. Even thought i try my best to stay still at night while i sleep.

Anyways, that all the stupid stuff iv been doing this past week. Til next time guys.
Toodles, Caio!!

Oh Katie..

[Sonnet '15]

Shall I compare thee to a chocolate kake?

Thou art more delicious and more tempting.

Extra kake does cause an extra pound or two in July,

And birthday's lease hath all too short the day:

Sometime too rich the topping of a moments happiness,

And often is her true flavours untasted;

And ever bite from bite sometimes too much,

By chance, or indigestion's discourse, untrimm'd;

But thy eternal chocolate kake shall never end

Nor lose taste of the flavours thou ow'st

Nor shall Decomposition brag thou wand'rest in his shade

When in eternal layers to time thou mature'st.

So long as ladies can eat, or noses can smell,

So long blogs this, and this gives flavour to thee.

Dearest Kate,

Happy 15th Birthday!!!

Another year of your life has passed and we're still close as ever, girl. Isnt it funny how it felt just like yesterday you and I were shaking our booties in dypers. But at this moment, I wanna take ther opportunity to say I love you for the things you and I have been through together over the years. Your sense of humour is truely one of a kind!! Never fails to make me laugh. I gotta say, your level of maturity is way beyond that of your peers. And that is gonna take you far in this world cause your also one heck of a smart girl.

I hope you'll continue to grow in your walk with God cause I know you're bound for greatness. I can see it now: Kate Ng, a History Maker. You've got a few more years to go til you completely become the blossoming woman you're ment to be. By then I'll be getting old :P So make me proud girl!! Oh yes, find love in the places you know you're bound to be it; like from me!! Lameness hahaha.... sorry, the late hour is getting to me.

I'll sign off here. Hope you enjoyed this post. Especially for my beloved, dearest cousin! One more thing, sorry if I ever did anything to you that hurt you or made you feel like "ggrrrr!!!". I didnt mean to do it at the time. The anger (or whatever other emotion i was feeling at the time) over took me. You know I really love ya!!!!

P/S: For your information, this is a remix of the famous Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare. I renamed it in comjunction with your 15th birthday.

With love,

Marcia <3

I carry your heart with me..

I carry you heart with me

I carry it in my heart.

Anywhere I go, you go my dear

And whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling

I have no fate for you are my fate, my sweet

I want no world for beautiful you are my world, my true

And it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

And whatever a sun will always sing is you.

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows

Here is the root of the root

And the bub of the bub

And the sky of the sky of the tree called life

Which grows higher than the soul can hope or the mind can hide

And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.

I carry your heart

I carry it in my heart.

-E.E. Cummings

My world

Have you ever woken up one day and thought :
"Man, Im really lucky to have the people i have in my life."

Well, i just had one of those morning. I mean, how often do we all appreciate the people who helped make us who we really are. For all the times they've listened to your meaningless ranting and complaints.. For the times they were the shoulders you cried on when you were feeling lower than the deepest ocean. But best of all, for the times they made you laugh and the memories that you'll always remember for the rest of your life. Because those memories are what make you a better person, the things that get you through a bad day. These are some of the things the special people in my life do.

For me, its mainly my family and some close friends. Mom and Dad, they've been my pillar of support for my entire life. Even though i didnt always appreciate what they did for me. But since a certain incident, iv grown so much closer to my parents and am totally comfortable to tell them everything thats in my head. The old saying is true, out of a disaster, theres always some good that comes out of it. My brothers, marcus and martin, sure they can be pains in the butts at times but regardless of that fact; their love is true and i'll love them no matter what. Sure, we had our fair share of fights and agruments but tell me are there ever siblings who see completely eye to eye? I think not. Out of our downs, they help me build endurance and tolerence against people that would cause me problems later. They were my first bestfriends too. Who could as for better siblings. If there were ever better parents and siblings, I wouldnt want to even know about them because to me and in my eyes, my family is already perfect!

Now coming to friends, how could i ever live without those people i am so blessed to know. Kate, Sammy and Shealin are some just to name a few. In all honesty, its always been hard for me to make friends. Much less best friends or close friends. But these people (and more) have made it so easy for me to open up and just love them. Theres no way i can go back to being all by my lonesome now that i know what its like to have true friends. Friends that will stick by you no matter what happens to you or what people say about you. Friends who will tell you what they really think about what you've been saying for the past couple of hours instead of beating around the bush cause they dont wanna "hurt" you. They'll tell you the truth because they know you need to hear it, even if the truth hurts. Now thats what i call true friends. And the true friends i have, im greatful for them. Thank you guys. I hope you know who you are.

What would our worlds be like if we didnt have friends and family? I'll tell what the world would be like. A total and complete failure. The world has evolved and been canggih-fied because of alliances and friendships. The world is for unity.

What do you guys think? Is friendship and family important to you?

You know I love ya!
