Stage making days…

These few days have busy…nope, very busy helping one of my former university design lecturer in stage preparation for a musical show. The show is organized by a giant company, Berjaya Groups, which is famous for its successful Berjaya Times Square and the founder, Vincent Tan (same English name with me..lol)…

The show is called ‘ Always in Wonderland’ with characters from different stories like Snow White, Alice, etc…in group of three, whom are of my classmates too…first few days, we did all the stuff at a bungalow, a very old bungalow which had no one to live in except a cleaner…we mess up the whole floor of the house where we are doing all those crazy works there; sticking newspaper by starch, cutting cardboards, etc…the stage is to be made of recycled materials like newspapers and cardboards….now I hate and bored seeing those two…haha

Last few days, we did it on the spot, which is at the area near the performing stage, which is at MapKL, Solaris Dutamas. This is very new place, newly built complex of residential apartments and shoplots. First time going there, and spotted a very huge construction of new National Palace nearby, which is a waste of money definitely…and also spotted a large mosque similar to the famous Hagia Sophia at Istanbul, Turkey. That place I also can have a great view of Kuala Lumpur skyline…can always see Petronas Twin Towers switches off light at 12am midnight clearly…lol

It is really tired…already been sleeping very late, lately…for continous few days just to complete the stuff, which we do not get paid for,,,,yes…it’s charity work, very charitable…we made a mess up there also…we draw, we paint, we cut, we measure, we think, we stick, we adjust, we pull, we push, we really did a lot of stuff…insufficient of people and time seriously…everyday worked until late night…

the final product is there, let the show begins…eventhough the final outcome is not as good as predicted, but at least it is completed, and we tried our best and have put our full, no…over-limit effort on it….few things that I will remember during these few tiring days:

1 – working continously for over at least 15 hours each day, the record-breaking is over 20 hours, at the last day when we have to finish up everything before the show starts which is today…

2 – have accidentally eaten a little piece of a plastic fork while having dinner…

3 - have stapled my hand twice, stupid…but accident la….pain for a while, bleed for a while, then continue work…haiz

4 – have a drop of CA glue on my eye, luckily I get it off quickly and rinse it with water, if not…omg….I do not dare to think of the consequences…

5 – have seen a very nice guy, a management people of the building which is n related to the event at all, but he is so kind, that he paid for our expensive dinner, bought us pizza, and willing to go out at midnight to buy McD for our supper…super kind…very hard to find this kind of people already….

That’s all…very tiring and exhausted, but it’s a nice experience, at least we see something new, we learn something new…
