RateMyDrawings!



yeah i did this drawing online! u can draw something online too with RateMyDrawings!

the program saves your brushwork as a video, which is a very cool feature! the drawback is that there is limited 'ink' that u can use so have to plan your drawing carefully. according to the website faq this is done to prevent lagging and large file sizes...lol

anytitle!

hofai and jefry were questioning why mi msn nick was so long...haha...



this video is done by ImprovEverywhere...a global 'organisation' that creates fun and puzzling scenes in public with the help of participant 'agents'...and the participants are all gathered from the general public lol...

but for this video itink they got professional singers...coz their timing is very good!

theatre review!

*31May08*
went to watch architecture of silence at esplanade theatre! itink it was the first time ive been inside the esplanade theatre haha. from what i rmb itink that the difference between the theatre and the concert hall is the concert hall has this big thingy hanging from the ceiling at the center of the concert hall...and also the theatre has an orchestra area in front of the stage...

ok now for the review!


-original images from http://www.singaporeartsfest.com/

Architecture of Silence
Slovene National Theatres Opera & Ballet Maribor and Ljubljana/Singapore Festival Orchestra

the performance starts with the group of dancers wearing suits and dresses and swimming caps sitting on sofas arranged in a box fashion...then a few of them starts dancing, taking turns...with the orchestra below silent for the moment...this part was very cool...without the music, the dancers had to keep to the timing of the dance by themselves, and it was clear that they had lots of training...


the orchestra was the Singapore Festival Orchestra and they played very well that night! the surprising thing was there was a 80strong choir seated in 4 rows in the 'backdrop' of the stage...when the curtains went up to reveal them itink most of the audience would have got quite a surprise lol...

there were also 5 other vocalists who were excellent...ESPECIALLY the soprano! the soprano was one of the highlights of the performance in mi opinion...her singing was powerful yet sensual...

there were many other surprises for the rest of the performance, and itink the audience were kept entertained with the myriad of strong yet fluid dance moves. the inspiration behind the act was the fish, the symbol of silence according to the programme booklet, and the dance choreography reflected that very well. there were also water elements being used on stage such as the fish tank.

when the performance was over there was rapturous applause, even though many seats were unfilled in the theatre...there were standing ovations too...and charmaine and her brother were giving standing ovations haha...i shouted 'bravo' for the soprano lol but the applause was very loud...the applause lasted very long haha but the performance deserved it!

ratings[+++++]5/5
powerful and grand...

supei very paiseh haha we thought u were not watching at all coz the 3 of us dunno where u were! when i saw ur msg sharis and me were at citylink alr and charmaine was loitering around esplanade haha...lets plan an ice cream outing!

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
