Excitement in July-AYC 2009 10th Anniversary (part 1)

I made souvenirs for all this time...ten sets of these in different colours because we got 40 singers this year.

20th July-25th July, music camp and performance in Bali. Made my best friend in AYC
张乐宇(Leo) from Shanghai, Bass, WYC member in 2003,2004. We were lost in Bali on 23rd(?), and took us 1 and half hour to walk back to our hotel, and it rains, so we both came back soaked. Since then we become quite close friend I think.....happy :)

So our days in Bali from 19th-24th is full of...
rehearsals!!! some people still wearing mask when singing.....?!?
and 1 concert in the churchThen, 25th is....FREE TIME!!!! at last we can go around in Bali on our own.....naturally, Leyu with me, and also Lee Shiak Yao (Tenor, Malaysia) and Emi N (Alto, Japan)
Lee Shiak Yao 李锡耀 （nick：细腰）haha ！！Emi N.....there is Emi S also, this is the N....

We went to..
Super Duper HOT SUN!!!we saw a lot of naked sun bathers....wooo....too bad we dare not take their pictures....

our lunch...then we proceed to Kampung Bali, handicraft shop, I bought instruments which made toad sound, thuder sound, bird sound and seruling (a kind of flute). Emi N was not feeling well, so Shiak Yao went back to Hotel with her while Leyu and I continue....Beach 66, we are coming!!

B-e-a-utiful sun set!!!!! I LOVE BALI!!!!! My camera is not good enough to capture its real beauty!!

ok, I am tired of uploading pictures already......to be continued...

Carmen opera production...

My only experience on performing in an opera production was the "Carmen" opera, performed in the end of year 2004....(which is my STPM year and also, I din miss pessoc's music camp performance....busy like crazy.)

The staging and the acting is a great fun besides the singing part. Each singer got a set of unique costume which is different from other singers.

Pre Dressing

We had our very early dinner before performance....and you can see, I have done hair and part of make-up. The guy in the middle, done everything...and the last guy, done nothing....hahaha...

Act 1

I am the spanish factory girl... it is the nicest factory costume I ever seen. Actually, I should go on stage bare footed, but I forgot to take off my shoes when taking this photo.Look at my hair style. Does it suits me?

In the first act, I also play another character besides factory girl. I act as a passer-by during the guys' opening chorus. You know what kinda passer-by I was?
Tadaaa.....the muslim nun and a catholic nun.....say cheese! So we come in opposite direction, knock each other, then run away....that's all. So, inside my nun costume is my factory girl costume.

Act 2 & 3

ok, in 2nd and 3rd act, we act as gypsy smugglers.....wakakakakaz.... the blue scarf is actually wear like a malay tudung before I get on stage.....it is very nice going with my costume. My "boyfriend" in the first act actually... When i took this picture I din bring along my scarf....so I pinjam orang lain punya...haha... why must have a scarf? It is a bit too sexy.

Act 4

The spanish couple in the act 4, acting like we are going in for a bull-fighting show. Picture taken after the show la of course.

Toreador and la donna.... looks nice leh? :-)
