台湾之旅-----演出

2005年12月27日本团非常荣幸的与台湾的成功合唱团以及香港来的合唱团同台演出,为在台北的观众带来不同风格的合唱演出。

在台湾逗留了将近七天,所有团员以筋疲力尽,且声音沙哑,这都怪罪于台湾美味的食物深深的吸引着我们这群贪吃的小伙子。当然,来到一个不同的国度,是格外兴奋的,就拿本团女高音陈仪芬小姐来说吧,她仿佛是吃了兴奋剂,不停的喊叫,差点没把整个台北给闹下来。这小姐,一点也不懂得珍惜自己的喉咙,反而要旁人时刻提醒她别在喊叫了。真搞不懂,当其他团员都失声时,这小姐竟一点事也没有? 佩服!

当天,我们的早餐时间是十一时,可恶的饭店竟然在早上八时来个morning call。我房的人,全部睡功一流,全都不舍得听电话,可怜累个半死的我爬起来。说真的,没什么人吃早餐,因为午餐在正午十二时。午餐非常丰富,共有大约十样菜,餐厅也因我们的到来特别休息招待我们。

午餐之后,自然是前往怀恩堂彩排,做好准备工作了。当天非常寒冷,可不晓得是谁得主意,竟要我们冒着冷风在怀恩堂门口拍全体照?

我们在怀恩堂里的大教堂表演,哪里的回音超强,我们听不到仪雯的琴声,练习时全都跟着回音唱,急得不知所措。我们索性不用仪雯的伴奏,选择清唱“飞翔吧!鸽子”。我们霸占台的时间为下午一时到三时, 过后便往后台休息。

精力充沛的我们当然不会乖乖的休息,我们跑到听众席里充当听众,享受香港团的彩排,哈哈!香港团来的全都是小孩,有一群是专门打鼓的,我迷上了一个好可爱的小男孩,他打鼓时好可爱哦!当然,我才不会放过认识人的机会,说明了是交流嘛!在香港团的老师及孩子出现时,我就快快认识了他们,奇怪的是,团员们,都以为我认识他们。 哈哈!我们一群黄色家族,看他人彩排直到五点左右,才舍得去准备化妆。化妆嘛,当然要谢谢我们的风玲姐,我们美丽的脸孔,在她魔手的演变下,个个变成了迷人天使哦!嘿,我可是很美的哦!! 谢谢风玲姐啦!! 我们当晚的服装是黑高领长袖,黑裤在绑上美丽的鲜黄色batik布。绑布嘛,当然要谢谢我们的周老师了,她一口气替我们二十多人绑的哦!

那里的负责人可能就是台湾的赵老师吧,他在节目表的简介可是最丰富的哦!成功儿童合唱团也是他一手带大的呢!说到节目表,我想他们一定在非常匆忙的时刻做的吧!不但替我们团员改名,连我们嘉莹的简介也给吃去一大半,好料哦!可能是省纸吧!环保哦!我们化妆完毕后,就连同另外两团,同台彩排。大约有百多人吧!当唱到“月亮代表我的心”时,幽默的赵老师,竟然叫我们拿麦克风对观众说?他生奥的词语令我们莫不着头。不过,彩排完毕,老师们说我们一团二十六人,已经盖过其他两团大约一百人的声音了。哇哈哈!

紧张的气氛来临了,就是表演时间到啦!我们等待其他两团的精彩演出后,才登台。活泼的我们差点没把台给拆下来。最令观众爆笑的部分可能就是镜圣与凯欣的一出卖鱼戏吧!连我们的团员仪专小姐也忍不住笑了出来。我们再上半场唱了“阿里路亚”,“山童”,“马来族曲”。下半场呢则是“飞翔吧!鸽子”,“采蘑菇的小姑娘”,“台湾族曲”。

在中场休息时,有大量的观众涌向我们,说我们的表演非常特别,(我可不是自吹哦!)他们非常的喜欢。不知觉,到了三团同台演出时间,我们这对, 在台下已说好了,只可小声唱,绝不可以抢走他人风头哦,可是那调皮的陈仪芬,声音格外特出噢!唱得太过瘾了?再来便是安可时间,我们三团同唱的是“Music you are a friend to me”,“甜蜜蜜”,“月亮代表我的心”,安可部分则是唱回“月亮代表我的心”。

终算圆满结束了,交换纪念品仪式也在中场休息过后由我们的正副团长与其他团进行过了。原以为可以往西门町花钱,怎知竟有交流仪式,我们团员们与其他团交换了礼物,可能我们的却是太过活泼了吧!兴奋嘛!在没等到赵老师的指示已经和其他团员结交了。。。

嘉莹在我们三团拍完照后,便被有名人士拉去交流,替我们与其他团的导师拉拉关系,联络感情等,反之我们就在享受收礼物的幸福。。 简直乐坏我们!

最终,还是结束了。非常的累,而且兴奋。哈哈,西门町泡汤了,可是我们的夜晚可还没结束哦!那些麻,有空再写。

以下是他人对我们的评语:

“你们的演出非常精彩,使我顿时觉得年轻十年”
“你们是怎么令大家都那么有活力?有什么秘方?”
“欢迎你们来到香港交流”
“怎么连小孩子也一样唱得那么开心的呢?”
“我要买你们的谱哦!你们唱得非常的特别” (台湾族曲)
“可以卖给我你们森林之旅的vcd吗?”

好啦好啦,妈妈说,我们做人要谦虚哦!嘻!

23.07.2005 (Saturday)

haha, no one is blogging!!
Me and Jia ying did the selling today. Within two hours, the food were out of sold. A success mission. ;D

Jia Ying wanted to run trought Jungle Wonder. I think this was hard for those new comers, they need to practice all songs, then they need to act. However, I have confident that those new comers can do it!! Gambate..........

You can do it!!

It is SATURDAY!!! (Show time..)

HELLOO LITTLE NOISE!!!

It has been long, isn't it? Almost a month or more I disappear myself from LN's practice. Why? You guys might think I quit or what.. NAH!!! Thanks to SPM.. I wanted so badly to draw my lines in this blogy.. and FINALLY,, I get the chance.. Uhahahahazz..

Today, due the reason of parent not at home, I am the queen queen queen!! I sneak out from my house happily and skip to the bus stop with the rainbow above the sky. Squeeze myself into KL Performing Art Centre to get a peek on they concert ~ Jalam Impian “The Musical” Nice show… I get free tickets, ofcause nice (The original ticket = RM42).

Here comes the main topic of this post, hehe!!

After the concert and some longy waiting taxi part, I reach Simshen. The clock tick at 6pm, I am LATE LATE LATE.. Never mind, mommy says: Better late than never appear… and the highlight member of the group is with me.. so no worry.. MuAhAhA!!! I heard some familiar voice, which I didn’t hear for almost a month.. Yes.. The noise makers are making noise… the angel voice.. (Ok.. maybe devil?) While walking up to the practice room, I was thinking, what kind of reaction they will have when they see me? Weird? Happy? Curious why I go? Or whack me because of skipping lessons?

They are singing Draviddian when I quietly stuck my head into the room and get a quick peek, no danger? No! Let’s go in. They sing and look at me in a shock. After they stop singing, my lovely choir mate push/pull me here and there.. and.. funny In Nuen and Khai Xin even fly up to give me a warm huggie.. Jason even worst, he pull me to a side and told me something really push me up to the seven heaven. Wow!! This is COOL!! Wait a minute, someone told me that LN have 7 new boys? And why do I only see 2? Where are the rest?? Hm… I come here to see leng zai gah..

Aha!! We got a new tutor.. Mr. Melvin aka half Banana (PS: He said so) he is not officially our tutor yet. Today we practiced Jungle Wonder songs; it is good to sing something I know… And this Mr. Melvin, enjoy our free concert at a corner. A month didn’t see, everyone is still the same old them, still love to make funny jokes, still crazy and mad, this actually make the whole practice session fun and sunshine. (Duh, what are we? TEENAGERS !!)

Later on, 7pm + we have a little talking session with Mr. Melvin. Hm.. I don’t quite like his way of turning here and there to perform his point. Straight forward is always easy to let one understand, and it will actually saving up lots of time for us from guessing.. And.. Hey.. You are talking to the entire noise maker; don’t just look at the particular person??!! It makes other feel really uncomfortable… (er.. maybe only me?) Mr. Melvin suggested us to write down our feeling, and thought for every single song we sang for Jungle Wonder, not a bad idea, it will help us to grow up…and this way will lead one understand more in oneself (hey.. this is a way some psychology use gah..) Hehe.. I can see that, members are not happy with this brilliant idea. By the way, if he is really going to teach us, hope he will lead us to a higher level, with his weird way. (PS: He said so.)

It is time to have members talk; we talk bout future, competition, and concert. Good time is always flying out fast; After all, it is time to call it a day.

Hey, catch up for my next post oh!

Today, Mr. Melvin came to Simshen on 4:30pm, I tought he supposed arrive at 5.30pm. Why he came early?? I asked him. He told me that he has appoinment with Jia Ying. hmm?? Jia Ying?? Jia Ying and Pui Mun were attending for 'Jalan Impian' musical concert, so how did she appoinment with Mr. Melvin leh?? I told him that Jia Ying was not around. Then he just stayed at Simshen.

About 5.30pm, we began our songs practise for Seremban Jungle Wonder performance. Around 5.50pm, Jia Ying and Pui Mun arrived.

a tired day for us.......

This is my first time blog here. How do I begin my words??
Ok, I will start it now........(if got any grammar mistakes, don't blame me ahh)
Our funding department has planned to do selling to gain our choir fund. Actually, Jia Ying and I are supposed to 'jaga', however Jia Ying is busy with her school activities, and me also can't do anything for it, because I'm working at Simshen, I can't break into two person to work. haha!! Sin Yue arrived to Simshen about 10.00++am, aunty told me that Yue was in operation and stayed in hospital on this Monday. She was got hurt!! About 11.00++am, Kai Shi and Xin Tian arrive Simshen, ohh thank god.......I have 'jiu xing' to 'jaga'!!
We practiced at 5.30pm, I think today is not a nice day, everyone is not in mood. Miss Tan Sin Sim also in flue, however she still can sing well!! I really love her singing!! We finished our practise at 7.15pm, Jia Ying wanted to discuss with us about our 'future'. ohh hoho.......future, what is LN's future?? Let me tell you about our FUTURE!! We'll join the choral competition on this December, and end of this year we'll go to TAIWAN!! Wohoo........Taiwan!! Actually I totally shocked about Jia Ying's decision, She wanted to Cancel our plan for competition!! why? why? why? *Calm Down...........* Then she asked us whether want to join a category or two categories, most of our members decided to join a category. I think join a category is better for us, first reason: lack of members to join the competition, second reason: lack of times to practice, third reason: we have plans that will do in this few months. But I have to say sorry that I'm really want to join that choral competition, if any 'de zui', please forgive me.:D
ok, this is all I can say today, if I have times I still can blog!! hihi, see you :D

Another Saturday Fever

It's almost saturday evening and I'm off to Simshen for Choir in the evening (around 5:00pm). Choir begins at 5:30pm but I need to go collect the pile of photostet copy from Green Day Photocopy Center, so I went off early. Reached Simshen around 5:15pm after collecting the pile of scores... it was NOISY (as usual) in Simshen... with kids running around screaming, the little noise makers quacking off as though they haven't seen each other for a year and people walking in and out. But it was a lovely scene... though it would be much nicer if the kids wouldn't wail...

Was expecting some more new members today at Little Noise practice and they DID turn up. 2 guys from my school (SMK SBU) - Andrew & Richard (kononnya) and Aik Chuan from Stella Maris. Another new figure aside them turned up but she was WAY too shy to join us and hid at the door side. One was worst. Haha... she stood OUTSIDE with her mom and no matter how her mom tried to shove her in... she wouldn't!

We kicked-start practice with Lee Hom's Zhu Lin Shen Chu (Deep in the Bamboo Forest) and ran through the whole thing before my mom (She's the patron & adviser of Little Noise) came in and protested that we do some WARM UPS first since they ARE new members. FINE... Warm ups people! So we did the "1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... 1, 5, 4, 5, 3, 5, 2, 5... thingy taught by Mr. Potato Head Vegetable last week for a few moments. Andrew acted normally, RICHARD was annoyingly annoying ... he kept on blurting c2pid questions at c2pid times... but cute lar, and Aik Chuan was Aik Chuan =).

Practice continued and we divided into groups to practice the new song (The one I photocopied). It's call "The Little White Hen" ... The lyrics' hilarious with chicken squaking popping out in the songs front and back : "kakaney, kakaney, kakakakakakaney, kakaney, kakaney... kakakakakakakaney" *Starts laughing like a moron* Yea, imagine the choir doing chicken dance on stage and singing that ... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... This is one of the songs we're gonna go for the year end International Choral Festival > Junior Youth Choir Competition. Can't wait until we can finish the whole song (including dynamics and all), i'm sure it's gonna be nice.

After practice finishes... around 7:15pm, we were rushed downstairs back to Simshen's Room Number Four where the Monthly Mini Concert was held (It was almost end of the show... and we were supposed to END the show)... and we performed "I will Follow Him" followed by an enchoed "Musim Buah-buahan"... That's not the END yet... it's the BEGINNING!!! PARTY TIME PEOPLE!!! Haha... Right. After EVERY Monthly Mini Concert, they'll be a feast where all the parents of the participants had prepared food for everyone to dig in. And Little Noise members, of course, got to start digging first. lolx. We also celebrated Feng Ling Jie Jie's Birthday, which is TODAY... and gave her a Elle watch as Thank You for helping in the Jungle Wonder Show as Stage Manager PLUS all the days she babysat us... kakaney kakaney...

That's almost the end...
yea, I think I won't be the only one blogging here... Shu Sim should be seen typing away too... I think.
Kakaney.

A New Year Ahead 05/06

A New Year...

That might sound just a little weird.Especially when it's like middle of June, middle of 2005, middle of a busy year. But yea, that's right. Today is the marking of Little Noise's New Year.

Meeting starts at 5:15pm as usual and we all went up to the hot room (except for me actually... I... er, was busy downstars) and did our vocal warm-ups with Mr. Potato Head Vegetable. Don't ask me why I call him that, I think it's pretty suitable for him. Muahaha... Potato Head Vegetable... But according to some of them, he's pretty oo-kay for warm-ups. VOICE warm ups... not push ups/sit ups/lifting dumbells/running fields... Speaking of that, none of Little Noise's form five member got chosen for National Service. HOORAY! We actually ALL thought Angie had it since her mom had called and told her so during the practice... But now we've found out the truth: HER MOM LIED! So it's official: NO LITTLE NOISE MEMBERS IN NATIONAL SERVICE! Double HOORAYS!

Song of the day: Zhu Lin Shen Chu (Deep in the Heart of the Bamboo Forest) -- Wang Lee Hom
Pretty cool isn't it? A pop modern song or as what Lee Hom calls it "chink-out" (pop music with a chinese tune twist) arranged for acapella choral. I think it's nice... haha.. besides knowing the fact that I'm a MAJOR LEE HOM fanatic... But the whole concept of "Chink-out Acapella" is really nice. Praise Lee Hom for the song! YAY!

Okay... before I go completely Lee-Homing.

Let's see... after a couple of warm-ups and Zhu-Lin-Shen-Chuing, we went downstairs for out AGM. There are four positions to vote out: The President, Vice-President+ Head of Community Interaction, Treasurer + Head of Funding and Secretary + Head of Club Service.

Results:
President -- Gan Jia Ying
Vice + CI -- Wong Khai Shin
Tres + Fund -- Cheong Wa Chaw
Sec + CS -- Tan Yi Fen

And then the directors had half an hour meeting and there goes our lovely Saturday evening, marking the start of a new year ahead.
