Storm in a box ENDS,,,,,,,,,

It has ended. 2 months of intensive training and all has just ended last week. The venue chosen couldnt be better...it was perfect- by the seaside, in the middle of the field, far away from the signs of the bustling development of Penang, except for the skyline but even with a touch of development in it, it was so beautiful in the dark and starry night sky.
First performance on Thursday 24th January 2008 - we had the most oomph in us, i'd say it was the best performance among the others. This show was for the USM students and it's actually a full rehearsel. The crowd was very encouraging and supportive.

2nd night Friday 25th January - A very STORMY performance, the true "STORM IN A BOX". Strong winds and sudden flashes of light in the sky scared us all but not to worry, Janet the "bomoh" speaks to the skies and the wind... It was halfway through the 2nd part of the performance after ours, we were sitting on the field in the dark, awaiting the finale where we walk out and pose like models..and Janet with her white luminous hair could be clearly seen even in the dark, walking to the far end of the field and looked at the skies in a peculiar manner, like a captain of a ship...then, she walked over to the far end of the field near the sea where there were shady trees and a large broken slab of wall there(it was real dark and eerie). ANd she stood there facing the trees and skies speaking to them for quite a moment.

Amazingly, the storm did calm down a little and it only rained heavily when we left after the performance...

3rd Night The last night, both happy and sad. I was happy that this "ordeal" and tight schedule has ended but I also refrained from believing that this was the lastr day after all these training.
But tonight, was the most important night as the KL Critics would be coming( magazine editors and specialists in this field)and they didnt really give good comments on our last performance last year I think...
Everything went well(gosh we were nervous)and there was a small party held after the performance by the sea. But before that, everyone posed and posed and went camwhoring.....as usual for us peeps................


the trademark pose .........................................................................................................again
