I'm Alive
Ya, Today is my off day and so here I am, to give the various update for Wednesday and Thursday. LOL!! Sorry for keeping the updates slow, cause busy with work.

So Wednesday:

We had to run 3 coporate shows for Sony, which is pretty interesting. Because we won't have a chance to rehearsal for our Thursday big show, and also, its a 3 time show. Some hiccups that we faced but in the end, we manage to bring the impossible to possible.. LOL!!!

Then during break, we went to eat, buy some stuffs, went to Arena to repair the props, then its time to go back for the 2nd set. the funny part is, we thought we are still early, but when we reached, no one is in the room, then the incharge is making the signal of telling us to move in. LOL!! The guests are in another room already!! But we manage to set up the stage within 5 min, and off is the second set.

3rd set is very late and we all made back to the studio to slack. Then JC suddenly managed of letting me become an escape artist, initally I thought he was just joking, and I din respond, (Well, cannot just say yes without thinking ma) Finally I said, why not? Its worth a try, so we tried on the stripjacket and damn its fun, though tiring.. LOL!! Okie.. So maybe 1 day i will become the mentalist cum escape artist. Sounds fun, I feel too.

Then Thursday: The big day for media and Tour Guides. We started to prepare for the show since 10 am, setting up rest of the props for the REAL show but there are other people inside the Arena, which is not good, and so, we had to ask them to leave, or else we cannot rehearse!! And also, as the "air-con" is not on until 2, we are technically suffering inside while running around like mad people, cause we don't have a 30 man crew at backstage. I get to try out the fire setting, and its not as easy. A few teaching technique by the rest, and I learnt something new again!!

The real show, as far as possible for my work, I did my best and for the first part of the fire, still got 1-2 sec delay, (better than no fire) Zzzz.. Nearly blow off some part, but we carried out successfuly, the crowd is great, I can see people getting worked up when they see the spikes going through JC, which is MUAHHHH. But it means that they like them. I like them too!!

Second show, I am even smoother le, I know what to expect, when will the music ends, etc. Then I paced all the timing and everything went smoothly, the fire setup was even faster now, thanks to Chee Ming for the advise.

The good thing is, I not afraid of fire, because during 1 part of the rehearsal, the fire blanket caught fire, and it was physcially burning with me holding it, seeing that I cannot control it, I drop onto the floor and start stomping. I think for others, they might throw the blanket away and you won't want to know what will happen.

Today i going to watch BAT MAN!!! YA!!
