bombie {=^o^=}

D & D-1

That's what we called Sep 30 and Oct 1st' 2011......Been wanting to blog on what happen on D-1 and D day...... if there were most memorable moments nomination on MP journey.... these 2 days are definitely in, together with Dancers audition days, 1st Practice @ Beck's home, the first combined opening dance & music @ OHGS, the day when I finally cry it all @ OHGS, the mass dance practice on last Sunday Sep 25th, and last practice @ MPS

but for now : D-1 and D day wins them all, and here's what happen

D-1 : 30 September 2011

I took whole day leave. At first I need to arrive by 9 AM @ ACJC. But thank God, by Andri's grace he allowed me to arrive @ 10.00 AM.

Tetep gua bilang ke Andri that I'll try to come earlier than 10. But in the end, due to too much packing and preparation for D day, I slept late, got up late to a beautiful rainy day which should make me even harder to wake up supposedly, but due to much of the stress level I woke up just nice to make it to ACJC @...... 9.50 AM (later than what I promised earlier....around 9.30)

When I reached AC, anak2 props udah pada sampe semua lengkap sama SEMUA props on stage, demikian pula baju2 udah ada sampe.... salut sama dia orang.....pagi ajeee sampenya....wow....

Tp gara2 gua buru2 pagi itu, en coz of the woman's date that's getting nearer to my calendar, gua sakit perut sepanjang taxi. So gitu nyampe ACJC, say hi hi bentar.....taroh tas, and then gua langsung cari WC. Tapi ga dibuka.... panick.... gua cari si OM ACJC Shawn... minta dia bukain WC...

My first thing that I do in ACJC ? Boker :P ahhahahhah :p gw udah mo sms Gill, laporan kl sekali dateng gua udah mark teritory di tempat ini... by blessing them with my human pupuk. Parah :P ...

Gitu keluar dari WC, gua langsung disambut Glenn Mykey Venessa yg super high energy... they welcome me with CICI ..why u look so tired...... lah orang baru boker..... mana bokernya sampe melilit bener itu perut....gimana kagak lemesh ya tampang gua ? ahhahha

And .... sementara gua lemesh, they kept being so energized. By the time gua balik ke theatre, barang2 props di stage udah cukup ilang, and Andri & directors at AV room are trying on pre recorded songs like dugem and MRT. Shandy & Shella juga udah nyampe...

Since para directors in AV room played a lil bit of lighting on the stage..... Ga ba bi bu... dancers take on the stage (whatever area left for us to dance) and practice some moves. Kaki gua masih sakit by then so I do a little bit extra of warming up :) .... the rest of the dancers just move along the music while they were played.....en it seems like it kept on playing on loop.... capek jg benernya pagi2 langsung overdrive :P ......but Glenn.... was on HIGH energy ...

By the time they stopped with all the songs, we figure out we have nothing to do at theatre, so gua bawa dancers2 yg udah dateng ke bawah to show them backstage and tell them the dancers space. Waktu kita sampe di bawah, wardrobe crew were hanging up all the clothes to the hangers. Since my dancers were just sitting down doing nothing and wardrobe crew were left with 2 ppl hanging aaaaalllllllllll those clothes, gua minta (i.e merintah kali yah....hahahahha) dancers there to help hang all the clothes. With 5 additional man power added, kita berhasil gantung semua baju dengan cantik, arrange them in the girls name & dancing order, even sampe park the shoes nicely under the clothes. And then gua bilangin dancers lagi to chop their own mirror space and park our stuffs in our territory. Terus gua minta tolong Nessa & Shella to post dancers rule & blocking in dancers room.

By the time we did all of that it was already 12.20 PM.

Lunch break was supposed to be from 1 - 2 PM, tapi gua request ke Andri to release us early so we can come back early too. Since beneran dancersnya dah pada bengong....and what we do when we bengong ? most of the time..........langsung kagak focuss......

So we go for lunch by 12.30 PM. Kita makan di canteen nya AC. Dasar makanan skolah murah banget, Shandy ordered : chicken chop with wedges, nasi padang, and some more food. Gua makan nasi padang for 2.30 only.... nice !!! Milo peng was another legendary drink there and it's super shiok !! 1 bottle (600ml) for just 1.20......shiokkk :P

After the eating spree, shandy me shella nessa (mykey & glenn milih tidur di theatre instead of makan since dia orang udah makan paginya) balik ke theatre and I straight away head to dressing rooms with the girls to put on make up and do hair.

Soon other dancers slowly arrived. Gill nyampe and again the first thing she did....spray dressing room with her Cherry blossom perfume...... and then she did what I first did : boker !!!!! Wakakakaakaka. Buat mencegah wangi2 yg ga enak...dia bawa si perfume ke kamar mandi and semprot semprot disana.... Nah ini yg seru.... kita punya 2 shower room & 2 toilet in each of the dressing room. Tapi .....ada tapinya... ga ada pintu gede buat si toilet.... :P jadi toiletnya lumayan open concept.... whauheuaueaea....so kl boker yah ati2 aja deh sama baunya... pasti kena berkat harumnya dah yg kesisa di dressing roomnya .... hahhah

Dressing roomnya sendiri, yg kebagi 2 for girls & guys, ada 19 mirror on each room. Since dancers gua cuman 14 coz Jennita & Shandy itung cast juga, kebayang dong luxury kita yg ada EXTRA 5 mirror ? heheheheh :) and one LONG & BIG mirror di samping gantungan baju yg spaciousssssssssssssss.....honestly...AC lumayan ciamik lah backstagenya.... en each room is equipped with 2 TV to show what's going on at stage, and the best part...audionya nyala... :) ahhaah :) we didnt have such luxury during Naboeng :P

Anyway, waktu bergulir and dancers2 lain : Selvy, Daisy, Jenny, Jen Tjung (who skipped her class) mulai berdatengan around 2 PM. Gitu sampe, semua dancers I ask them to put on make up and do hair right away. Jen Tjung di bantuin sama Nessa yg sampe ngambil posisi tiduran ala cleopatra di dressing table just to help Jen with her make up..... hahahahah......saking keasikan dia orang sempet break satu bohlam di dressing tablenya.... buru2 kita buang tuh bohlam, and Nessa took picture of the moddle and series buat ganti exactly the same bohlam the next day. Sambil dandan, miss Gill yg doyan bener music ( gua notice dari taon ini waktu kita leaders retreat, Mrs Praptana suka geber music pake HP nya di pagi2.......ahhahhha) minta diputerin lagu sambil kita dandan. Ga tanggung2 gua puterin....BURLESQUE theme songs.... ciss...... darah showmanship dancers pada gua bakar pake lagu gituan....berasa beneran di dressing room kayak pelem2 (aih norak)...make up pada berani tebel semua langsung... HAHAHAHA....

By 15.30 PM kita udah pada siap with hair & make up and Jawa costume, and director udah minta kita mulai with practice on stage

The practice was kind of detaileeeeeeddddddddddd ajehhhh........so much so detailed that latian buat babak 1 doang went aaaaallllllll the way to 6.30 pm. Although by then semua dancers udah dateng....(was quite happy with the early arrival of them) We still have not touched on act 2 yet and we still dreamed on running full dress rehearsal...

Nah kl udah latian gini... kita most of the time pasti ada timeline nya dunk ? en kl based on Naboeng..timeline kita pasti LARI semua.... alias kata let's play by ear di hari H nya nanti.... kl menurut timeline...by jam 2 - 6 kita udah harusnya selesai lighting & blocking practice.... en then kita dinner and straight away full run...

but see where we where then at 6.30 PM ? gua cukup yakin saat itu kl kita ga bakal run full dress again this time around... like .. mana mungkin cuy with our musical being longer than Nasi Boengkoes ?

So by then, with stomach starts growling, food was no where to be smell, and Act 2 untouched , if u ask me I am super pessimistic that we can clean a full dress rehearsal that day and get out by 11.00 PM.

But gua salut sama siapapun jg yg come out with the next action plan...... manteb !!!

Directors release us by 6.30 PM for dinner, to come back by 7.05PM. Dinner kita was not packed per box so kita mesti ngantri lagi buat ambil makanan, another frustration of mine. I hands on and help shove the rice then continue to eat with thunder speed, we did our best to finish asap... but in the end kita mulai2 lagi sekitar 7.15 PM.

Terus Andri's kasih direction : we'll practice act 2 till 7.50 PM, secepatnya.... By 7.50 PM we'll go down dressed up, and at 8 PM, we'll run FULLY Full dress rehearsals NON STOP like the actual day.

Pessimist tetep kl kita bisa mulai jam 7.50 PM. True enough, kita mulai full dress rehearsals at 8.10 PM. When the full dress rehearsal start, that's when I start to feel a little disbelief that hey..... we are running full dress rehearsal..... literally running it NON STOP just like how it's gonna be tomorrow, just exactly what we need to do right here....right now !!!! WOW .... sedikit serrrrr.... we are running....wooo :p something we missed to do on our 1st musical trial..... kl kata principalnya Glee seh : Achievement ?!?!?!?! ehhehehehe :) indeed it was a betterment

When we run the full dress, ada beberapa usher & crew lain yg duduk nonton. Iot was there taking pictures .... GREAT pictures I must say... aih Iot ane mah bangga punya temen kayak loe ;) heuehauheu :) biar kata kursi2 pada kosong.....lumayan berasa gimana rasanya tomorrow will be....

Selama full dress berlangsung, though kita harus ganti baju back stage and for that harus naek turun tangga, I dont feel the urgent pressing need of time... berasa kayak normal latian di MPS aja....waktunya jalan normal2......

contrary to Nasi Boengkoes yg waktu latian aja kita udah HEBOH hectic bener ganti bajunya dikejar kejar waktu and space ....dont say on D day... haywire.... kl sepatu aja biar nyasar ke sound system....yah El ? hauehauuahuhau *super sweet memory*

but as the nite go on... ga tau pengaruh kurang tidur....apa gara2 pake make up dari siang gua jadi capek .....pala gua makin malem makin pusing... hajar tolak angin pun ga nolong....yg nolong benernya harusnya seh panadol...but gua kagak bawa si panadol :P

so waktu gua lagi nunggu buat nongol for battle scene... entah napa itu badan capekkkk banget.. di backstage gua cuman mau tidur benernya kl bisa.... gua merem aja all the while... berasa busyettttt.... ini lama amattttt yah latiannya...

mana sebelomnya pas anak2 nanya...ci ada intermission ga ? gua sok yakin ngejawab kl ga bakal ada intermission soalnya kita mulai latian aja 8.10 PM.....EH...tiba2 Andri announce kl bakal ada intermission 15 menit......kita bener2 latianin si 15 menit itu btw.... gua bingung jg.... lah emang we have the luxury of time kah ? maklum lagi joget ga boleh bawa jam tangan cuy.....

so anyway...masuk ke babak 2 yg dibuka sama MRT dance....sempet ada kejadian cukup ricuh.... salah satu kita ga dapet majalah yg harusnya udah siap buat MRT scene dance.. gaswat... since itu full run kita jg ga boleh teriak WAITTT STOPPP majalah.... !!! kita cuman silent wagging and screaming ke props team... majalahhhhhhh majalahhhhhhhh kurang satu !!! bahaya.... suara Satria dah nongol euy..... bentar lagi pintu MRT naek.... yah worst come to worst gua pikir no majalah sampe besok loh...

Suddenly bagai kegelapan petir malem......dedenya Billy & Debby..yg sampe sekarang gua susah bener inget namanya....(so sorryyy)...... lari dari belakang and pass the magazine terus flash out like black thunder.....feel like a super props hero team......gua cukup IMPRESSED with his initiative & speed !! terharu.... kl itu interview kerja.. confirm dia gua HIRED !!!

yah lanjut balik ke battle scene... dimana gua nunggu en kepala makin pusing ga karuan..... en gua nanya ke Gill bawa panadol ga and Gill jg ga ada....gua titip besok buat bawain panadol soalnya gua ga pulang malem itu...

entah kenapa battle scene malem itu set my blood super boiling.... selama latian kita udah mulai bener....tapi sekali lg malem itu... music buat battle masuknya lebih cepet lagi...making gank antonio belon sempet stand on the right blocking en dah mulai nari.... en the best part....bukan salah Gill... tapi karena satu dan lain hal pala gua sempet mencium paha Gill alias kata kena tendang......di tengah kepusingan kepala gw... Gill sampe sorry abis itu..... tapi gara2 gua udah keburu bete sama si music.....pala gw yg pusing en kena goyangan dasyat itu jd ga berasa apa2 banding betenya gua saat itu...

ga tau napa waktu itu gua sampe.....eerrrggghhh gemeshhh banget mo protes en minta ulang lagi sama music team... kayak pengen teriak... CUT !!! repeat.... off course kagak bisa .... :P

yah.... roll roll roll...not long.... we finish full dress..... WE FINISH FULL DRESS !!! aaarrrrggghhh....kebetean gw cukup sirna sesaat inget the new mile stone we achieve in our 2nd attempt doing musical...

time left : 15 mins to clear the hall.... langsung all dancers balik bawah, park baju kita balik nicely at the dress hanging bar, and shoes under each own table, pack pack pack... keluar by 11 PM..... *when I look back at dancers room.....I'm happy........ it was NEAT & NICE :)*

Then kita briefing di luar theater. 11.15 PM, everyone is released. Iot ketemu gua en bilang: nice bomb :P.... gua bingung antara percaya ato ngerasa dikasianin.......kadang kuping tuh susah percaya that it's nice... honestly..... yah gua ga nonton mana tau nice or not yah kan ? cuman yah gua thank you in aja and hoping so much things will be better tmrw....u noe perfectionist ?? en Iot give honest feedback jg bilang kl kita kecapean on Act 2....it all shows up...... true ...gua pusing remember ? kena tendangan tanpa bayangan pula... en bete sama music dah bikin gua....ahhhh..males dah....

I prayed hard my mood will not be affected like that tmrw.... gua compose myself and talk to Ceka, set some code on timing tmrw.. then hati cukup damai abis itu....

Then we go home... When we walked out... Raimond bilang ke Gill....untung rumah kita deket yah.... puji Tuhan... then Gill bilang : tanya dong bombie tinggal mana ? Mana bomb ? ....gua tunjuk : tuh sebrang....one north....jalan kaki 15 menit sampe dari AC..keliatan tinggi menjulang....

So basically gua udah plan buat tinggal di rumah Kaoru malem itu... since besoknya kita harus sampe di AC jam 9 pagi....cukup kejam Serangoon AC dikejar jam 9 pagi.......so gua udah minta Kaoru izin jauh2 buat tinggal, buat pinjem hair dryer, anduk, piama....etc.... Kaoru bilang okie ......dia bilang just come anytime Ci....

okie...so gua dadagh dadagh sama all dancers.... sahhhh gaya....jalan ke depan nyebrang....pas gitu gua call Kaoru... ga ada yg angkat... call sekali lagi....dia angkat... wah...dari suaranya kedengeran udah tidur si Kaoru... oh no.... mana gua perlu keramas pula that nite...kl gua hairdryeran di studio si Kaoru which mean satu kamar gede tanpa batesan pintu yg isinya ada 3 mahluk yg dah teler semua...gimana ? Kaoru bilang gapapa Ci....just come....

okie deh gua lanjut jalan sampe di bawah rumahnya...then gua sms... no reply.... sms lagi...no reply lagi... so gua mulai telpon.....telpon...... telpon lagi....en teleponnnnn lagi... sampe pusing gua dari ada sampe makin ilang......25 menit berlalu....gua sampe duduk di trotoar diliatin satpam en residence yg pada pulang...

akhirnya gua nyerah gua sms Kaoru bilang I will go home.... walk back cari taxi.... pulanglah gua ke serangoon......tadaaaaa :P

garink abis emang but it's definitely a wiser option to go home daripada brisikin mereka...and when I reach home jg gua langsung berasa bebas gitu so I move faster to clean up and get to bed......and gua bisa tinggalin barang2 nginep gua yg notabene...berat :P yah... I'm happy I went home... familiar with my bed...

terus jam 1 AM just when I was about to go to sleep...kaoru telp :) ahhahahah .... say sorry :) so funny...gua seh ketawa2 aja...kasian dia feel so guilty..

anyway....even though this is like 2nd musical and I should be familiar with stuffs......that I'll probably be sleepless and easy to wake up..... tetep aja gua berasa kayak bakal telat dateng ke AC .....

But then....ternyata..... jam 7 pagi....alarm belon bunyi gua udah TRENG !! terang mata en seger:P gua paksain tidur tiduran bentar sampe udah deket timingnya baru gua jalan.. we're supposed to reach AC by 9....dan gua sampe 8.45 AM..

sampe sana, Andri & Eggie & Glenn....DAH SAMPE !! beneran si Glenn sempet Mac Donald breakfast sama Eggie....superb Bukit Batok Brotherhood :P padahal malemnya gua udah mo taroan kl dia ga bisa bangun pagi gitu.... ga disangka sangka..... :P hebat *tepok tangan*

en yg udah disana jg.... Wi In... dedenya Wina.... to me she's the best make up artist in town :) hehehehe :) gua cocok banget sama make up nya Wi In dah :) love it so much :) gua contact Wi In for last minute help buat keritingin rambut anak2 dancers.

Since kita bisa masuk AC jam 9 pagi, gua langsung do my hair at 9 di dressing rooms. Jadwal gua jam 9.30 benernya...but I thot let's save some time.... pas jam 9 tepat di AC tuh kayak kena guyur badai...ujan GUEDE :P gelap bener langit... so yg seharusnya pada dah dateng jam 9 pagi, pada kagak nongol.... yah gua pikir gapapa lah ujan... anyway gua udah consen sama rambut gua jg...

sekitar 9.15 am udah pada nongol dah manusia2.... Wi In selesai keriting gua jam 9.30, langsung gua oper next Gill. Other dancers gua minta diem dulu or warm up or stretch or...basically jangan wandering around ga jelas lah.... sambil nungguin Ci Ida dateng buat keriting dancers laennya...

by jam 12 siang...most of the dancers dah pada kribo......yg belom dateng tinggal Jen Tjung...some dancers bahkan udah di lenongin mukanya sama team lenong martha tilaar... honestly.....we're pretty much ahead of time... so kita makan siang...nasi goreng dari indo padang...

selesai makan siang......baru most of the dancers lanjut dilenongin mukanya....

sekarang gua baru bisa jawab jujur kl benernya gua AMAT takut sama make up dari Indo......awalnya... :P soalnya gua pernah di make up in sama team Indo jg en jadinya gua cina bener .... itu di IAF taon 2003.....aih gilee serem dah kl liat fotonya jg.......so gua cukup was was sama team MT kali ini...

tp waktu dia orang trial muka Daisy & Tania yg pertama kali gua send pergi make up....... slowly gua cukup ditenangkan ngeliat at leasttt.... mereka ga bikin muka yg model chinaaaa abis :P

so after lunch, gitu ada chance gua langsung duduk minta didandanin.... ada 2 orang make up artist... dua2nya okie tapi somehow gua ga mo kl dikasih warna kuning di mata gua.... en gua masih agak fail to recognize yg mana yg pake warna kuning di muka... jadi gua cross fingers aja waktu duduk minta dandan....moga2 bukan dia aja :P

thank God .... gua dapet orang yg tepat... yg waktu dia layer the make up slowly....I have to say I was at ease...and very happy indeed.... looks cool colourful and pretty ...orang yg sama yg dandanin Gill jg... en Gill jg demen sama si mbak kita...

by 3.30 most of the dancers are done with make up semua... MT team ini yah ... MUANTEB ABIS !! palagi si mas rambut kite... satu orang dia hajar rambut semua dancers di handle sama dia.. aje gilee mass... cepet bener pula dia kerjanya... Team si Julien yg lbh banyak waktu itu aja ga ada apa apanya sama dia dah !!! saluttttt abis

sambil kita dandan di bawah...yg di atas tetep latian full di stage.. sapapun yg selesai make up naek ke atas latian..... so sekitar 4 PM udah pada latian full semua..

at this hour gua inget lari larian siapin bakul dancers sama roti rotian Manda. Stage and backstage Gill yg in charge...

so waktu si bakul beres, gua ikutan latian di stage yg waktu itu udah battle dance....kita masih betulin diri kita... I remember one point dimana semua orang ngomong and dancers pada goyang2 ga jelas di stage yg bikin off course hati gua panas... so keluarlah hardikan terakhir.... DANCERS !!! Stop moving .... be SERIOUS pls ......

effectively....mereka diem....en kita progress... sorry if I need to do that dancers...but time were crucial and I believe our musical is not a game to play.... yah ...anyway.....I dont regret being harsh when required on the right time

jam 5...latian selesai...kumpul semua for briefing......then we go for dinner...

selesai dinner ... maybe 5.45 PM kita kumpul lagi di stage...lalu kami berdoa bersama semua.. gabung tangan ke tengah...and then BERSERAH :)

then all the haywire at backstage happen...ganti baju ... pemanasan... siap sana siap sini ....as explain in the previous entry....

what happen during the musical... mostly udah gua ceritain semua di previous entry... yg kurang gua sebut perhaps are just this :

1> martha tilaar team yg cuman 6 orang aja .... berhasil touch up, ganti rambut, ganti lipstick, pasang glitter, ganti eye shadow colour sodara2....to around 38 cast members in total... SALUT GA SEH ? gua seh beneran.... terharu deh dapet dia orang... HEBAT abis !!!! asli...gua sukaaaa banget team dia orang yg waste no time..

2> banding ruang cast, ruang dancers itu kayak spa... sepi tenang sepoi2....ga havoc or haywire... gua bahkan sempet collect all valuablesnya anak2 and kumpulin in my bag, lalu di lock... all dancers baju accessories semua rapihhhhh di meja masing.... during performance no screaming no running ... everything....in order....

siangnya gua cukup kasian ruangan kita ga lively....ga kayak ruang cast, coz all the make up artist are there... so havoc and heboh di backstage cast room dong..... gua cukup kasian sm dancers2 yg ... pengen heboh hebohan jg dung pastinya....

gua seh seneng sm ruangan kita yang serene peaceful gitu... belon tentu dia orang iyah kan...

tapi dari sore ke malemnya.... I'm totally happy that ruangan kita in a very good order.... en tenang gitu... sampe2 cast member yg mo latian pada dateng ke ruangan kita buat concentrasi... I'm very happy with the ambience... with the commitment level and the profesionalism going around in the room... I feel like a professional performing...I really hope my dancers can feel the seriousness level too...

saking tenangnya sampe gua bisa : lipet en rapihin semua baju, barang, and sepatu gua sebelom curtain call.....and I look around the room, kagak berantakan :) baju2 dancersnya jg rapih.... each individual... :) THANK YOU DANCERS !!! SO PROUD of u all.... really !!!!!

3> di backstage ada TV yg sorot stage... so whoever backstage pada bisa nonton semua... and that's a very good thing :) si willy, raimond ...tiap kali kita turun en ganti baju...the adrenalin rush was really there...kita bahkan sempet tos tosan... encourage each other... turun disorakin... hahahahah :P lucu seh ... tapi berasanya.... ARRRGGGHHH ..gimana gitu *neh gua merinding lag*.... kayak...aaaa we're doing good job...

harusnya gua udah mention semua ....

and by 10 plus plus... we are done....

WE ARE DONE.......

the curtain calls

and my body was TOTALLY tired by 11 PM..

so we went home..

Demi .... Cinta

above is a line from a song of "Mencari Putri The Musical"

a line that works to me, just like how "you raise me up" works to Maharani Aprilin

each time I remember this... my eyes starts to get watery...

Yup... TLG has just finished our 2011 musical last Saturday Oct 1' 2011, and following the history I did 2 years ago, I blogged the journey right away the following monday...

but it will not be a super long blog entry like what I have 2 years ago... becoz this musical .... is to me : short & sweet...

So let's talk about pretttttttttttttt

what's that ?

Benernya itu adalah paduan suara kentut gua, eggie and gillian sastra yg hiding behind close doors before the musical starts. Jadi ceritanya kita berempat kedapetan tugas buat bagi2 anduk kecil to open the show, dari bangku penonton. So kita sembunyi dulu di satu ruangan yg ga lewat dari 2 x 2 meter, berempat, nungguin waktu masuk.

Ga tau gara2 makanan, or gara2 kita nervous, semua jadi sakit perut and mo kentut kentutan. Jadilah kita berempat minta maap, minta izin dan tanpa malu2 mengenduskan zat asam ke udara luar. To avoid 4 of us fainting from the poisonous gas, kita buka pintu en julurin pantat kita tiap kali kita mo kentut... en stilll... masih belon mulai2 si Willy.....

Thank God, kentut kita berenti when the pre-recorded MC start, and so far belon ada penonton yg protes nyium zat asam kita yang....bueh.... wangi bener :)

AHHAHAHHAHAHHAA edan semuaaaaa.... gua ga bakal lupa choir kentut kita.... or how close we are that kentut pun bukan masalah lagi :P *apa zaman udah berubah ? *

yg kasian : Shandy yang kagak kentut sama sekali tapi nyium zat asam kita dimana mana :) HAHAHA :P maap Shan....sehat kok kentut kita :)

Now on Tesssssss

Tesssss .... are my tears...

Tears yang ampir ga bisa gua bendung before the musical start. It was around 6.45 pm on D day, and I was thinking it's time for us to do one last warm up and loosen up. Willy and the rest of the cast nyanyi2 di luar, so as a dancer I believe it's appropriate for us to warm up & stretch. Lagi tengah jalan warm up, Ieie dateng en manggil yg jualan dari arah penonton (the kentut choir group) buat siap2 jalan ke hiding place saat itu jg, or we'll loose our chance to walk from there.

Di tengah2 shocknya gua antara : hah pagi banget ngumpetnya..masih banyak orang yg masih di luar ga seru dong kl liat, to wadoh keranjang belanjannya masih di belakang casts yg lagi pada warm up, ga enak ati kl ngambil... it got down to me on one point....

sampe di detik itu, ga sekalipun gua lepas anak2 dancers gua sendirian.... I watch over them (I know I over watch sometimes, sampe kayak discipline master), keep scolding them to keep quiet, keep calming them, keep giving them orders on what to do next, here and there... every little thing.... gua cerewettt abis...

that moment, I realise....will be my final moment with them before we meet again on stage.... (kayak lama aja... padahal 45 menit kemudian kita bakalan ketemu lagi di panggung betul ?)......

di saat itu, for a moment gua almost lost my cool.......I'm lost...feel like : gilee si ini and si itu masih belon bener, adoh si ono tau ga seh dia nari nyante bener.... ini dia orang udah siapin semua barang belon seh ? seriously... siap ga seh mentalnya ...masih cekakak cekikik kanan kiri..kl ganggu cast gimana.....kl yg laen bete ama dia orang gimana ? adoh ...adoh...dag ...dig...dug.... *en Ieie keep caling...*

when I start collecting myself again, I call of them to round up in circles, together with Gill, we give the authority to Selvi and Daisy to take charge, tell them we wont be with them anymore till the show start..... and I gave them my last order....

Hampir..... hampir....

Hampir aja semua make up gua yg ruame kayak lenong si jali jali pas ulang taon jakartee....or kayak xmas tree..... plus bulu mata palsu yg total 3 (2 atas 1 bawah) luntur saat itu, coz I was REALLY working hard in my heart with ALL energy that I have to hold my tears.....

They will be alone back stage........ huaih....rasanya mo lepas mereka kayak....OMG.... I'm so scarred yet so excited for you.... this is your time...this is your moment to experience how GREAT is our God ....... what if you guys are lost ? will u be okay without us ? if I have the time: I want to HUG THEM ONE BY ONE

So I do what I can do best, kumpul tangan ke tengah (nahanin nangis padahal) and we scream : MP DANCERS FOR GOD !!! Then I walk away surrendering to God above... all my kids.....

I wont forget those moment when I walk away...it reminds me how painful, excited & proud it is for parents to let go their children and see them growing up & owning up their life.... That was me....to a child not my own, getting closer to them in just 5 months time....

how ....would a parent feel ?

anti climaxnya: setelah haywire kita siap2 to hide in.... ternyata ga jadi.... so we have another half an hour...and I GOT TO MEET MY KIDS AGAIN.... HAHAHHA :P *lucu ini*

ga ada yang tau anyway kl gua udah mo nangis saat itu kan ? ahhahhhah :P good... thank God gua kagak nangis.... malu bener udah nangis2 terus... Guys... I'm back..... let's do jumping jack again ... 1...2... asli anti climax.....

so when I'm back in the room, I suddenly go back to my game mode....and .... marah2 lagi :) ahhahaha :) pemanasan lanjut.... order sana order sini..... seperti biasanya gua... feeling like I am given another half an hour to support & guide them...

and the best moment that I'm so glad that we are given the privilege and time to do before the musical : a joint prayer by dancers (inclusive of kevin, jason. mardian, eggie, yohanes) surrendering the next 2.5 hours unto His mighty hands....dan sekali lagi.....ampirlah gua tessssssss....... cuman skali lagi.... ga ada yg tau juga kan ? puji Tuhan....

so yeah....that's my tessssss story

Now on miracle

Many of the musical crew know and notice my left knee...

Gua ga tau gimana kejadiannya, tapi yg pasti di latian hr minggu 25 September somehow knee kiri gua keplitek.....bilang keseleo full yah nggak... tapi sakit seh sakit... ga bisa full power dah intinya....

Aneh... asli aneh... coz hari minggu itu gua ga macem2... everything was okay....tapi senen paginya waktu bangun...wadaow..kok ga bener yah... jadi weak dah pokoknya...

en selama seminggu terakhir kita latian...gua ga berani over exert myself for this left knee (sampe hari ini) masih ga gitu beres...

tadinya gua diemin aja.... with faith : pasti sembuh dah di berapa hari jg... counter pain pun gua kagak pake...urut jg ga karena takut gua salah urut...

sampe hari udah ganti jadi rabu, terus kamis....lah kok masih sakit yah.... bsk jumat... pegimana ini ? mana gaya pas battle en MRT butuh si kaki kiri ini buat strong bener pula...

Lalu jumat dateng pas gladi resik... en knee gua masih sakit... Since gua on leave that day, gua telp Selvi titip beli knee guard di watson.... puji Tuhan tiba2 gua jadi inget ankle guard gua merek apa dulu, jadi gua minta Selvi beli knee guard yg sama mereknya : FUTURO

Selvi udah beli...gua pake seharian on Friday.... Nolong, tapi tetep ga sembuhin *nah sekarang gua bingung fungsi si knee guard benernya apa ?*

And you know the best part yg gua bener2 kuatir benernya ? Backstagenya ACJC itu di bawah. Samalah kayak NAFA....bedanya cuman satu.. NAFA ada lift... kita primitip pake kaki...and dancer tiap kali ganti baju itu di bawah.... so bayangin berapa kali kita nari....yah berapa kali itulah kita naek turus tangga.... (6 kali)

Definitely it doesn't do good to a knee that's not functioning well..... di hari jumat kita udah lari kayak wus wus .... nah begimana hari sabtu ? Gua cukup ketar ketir... gimana yah besok....I want to dance full power tapi ini kaki bisa support ga yah ?

Saturday arrive... MASIH...sakit... sampe Nchep nanya gimana ci kakinya ? Gua bingung jg gimana jawabnya.... kl udah gini gua bisa gimana yah ? ga ada quick fix....kl pusing bisa panadol-an... kl sakit leher bisa tolak anginan... kl keleyengan bisa pocari & vitamin C an... kl kaki gini ? bisa diapain selaen tumpang tangan ?

hebatnya lagi gua pas lagi sabtu pagi sempet lari2 naek tangga en...jatoh di kaki yg lain.... jago kan ? knee kiri sakit...knee kanan mo dibonyokin jg.....

singkat cerita...kaki gua masih sakit sampe sebelon acara dimulai...but somehow along the show, it's either rasa sakitnya benernya masih ada but I was over excited sampe I don't feel it, or it was totally gone....

point is: I felt no pain.... all the way... sampe selesai musical Nchep nanya lagi : kaki Cici gimana Ci ? gua bener bingung, kaki apa yah ? Yang tadi sakit itu..... OOOHHH.... ga tau napa Nchep tiba2 sembuh gitu aja... ga sakit lagi .... lalu gua gerak gerakin tuh kaki... bener kagak sakit en luwes luwes aja...

Amazed ? U don't ? well I AM TOTALLY AMAZED till this moment, dimana ini kaki udah balik sakit lagi.... but only on those 2.5 hours I needed the most....faith survived and faith win...

Faith that somehow......God will deal with this knee.... while I'm focussing on doing nothing but : dance it out.....

That was over Miracle I received..

Now over time...

Di minggu2 terakhir menjelang musical...tiba semua casts member cewek pada dapet semua. Dari Jennita sampe Janette... dan gua....yang udah cek tanggal, doa kenceng biar cepet dapet bulan....eh kagak dapet2....

masalahnya, gua tau jelas di bulan Agustus gua dapet tanggal : 31 coy !!! jadi kl perhitungan primbon jawa.... kagak meleset jauh lah dari tgl 30 - 1 october...gua bakal ketemu si bulan....Jackpot.... dhuar !!!

And for guys who cannot understand the emotion & pain level involved in having this akibat dosa hawa.... percaya aja sama kita2 that it is.... horrible condition...

after imagining that...coba bayangin lagi dapet....terus harus jejungkir balikan plus ngesot ala batle dance.... uhuy !!! ciamik abis sakitnya...... bedehhh :P

so....all the way gua cekinnn terus itu agenda...plus doaaa terus......cepet dapet donk... en again for guys who don't understand.... bulan itu adalah penyakit menular.... jadi kl satu cewek itu tend to get close to another woman....siklus bulan mereka bisa berinteraksi....

so then when I share that gua belon dpt2...gw lupa sapa yg ngomong, Cilla apa Jennita.. yah Cici tau gitu aku tularin waktu itu .... ini aku lagi dapet..... hebat yah bulan aja bisa ditularin.... emang wanita...segala cara jg halal dah demi nyepetin /lamain si bulan :) ahhaha :)

tp off course gua ga tempuh cara tidak halal seperti minum pil penghambat / pencepat penghancuran sel darah di dinding rahim wanita... jangan geli atuh sodara2...ini teh biologi kelas 2 SMA....

what I do is again, berdoa and bargain sama Tuhan... Tuhan..kl bisa cepetan yah ? kl ga cepetan yah tanggal 2 October lagh Bapa... jangan 1 aja...pokoknya jangan 1 dunk Tuhan... pls pls pls ?

Sampe Jumat.. masih belon dapet........ okie dah... pikir kl Sabtu hari pertama masih okie lah... selama kagak hari kedua ajah dapetnya... hari pertama or ketiga itu cukup aman terjaga deh lingkungan....

cuman yah the best kl bisa jangan dapet jg dunk di hari sabtu...

so Saturday come... kl digambarin perut gua itu kayak ada geledek gitu... yg cewek2 biasa tau deh si geledek perut yg menemani kedatangan bulan... nah sabtu pagi itu geledeknya dah berkicau.... was was dunk... ini mah alamat hujan badai bentar lagi.....

sampe musical ends : BERSIH sodara sodara.... tadaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! si bulan nyasar kemana tau ....

en then minggu pagi... jeger... meledak lah dam di perut gua....SAYA DAPAT BULAN !! uhuy !!!

Tuhan emang ciamik dah... His time is pristine purfect !! ada amen sodara2 ? *yakin gua yg cewek 100 % Amen !!)

mungkin ini aneh, but I always have issues with bulan and time.... but I have witnessed with my own body how God press paused and it stops ...and He press play...and it plays... if a woman over 12 years of bleeding problem touched Jesus rope and she was instantly healed.... I believe my blood flow is no challenge for Him :)

Now over award

after the show....banyak yang feedback mereka demen MRT dance. I choreo the dance without knowing how the dance will work in the end...

Some of you know that I go for classes at Jitterbug, and jauh sebelon choreo2 kita jadi, each week I suppy the dancers with what I learned at Jitter. Dari on the floor, sampe si chillin chillin.. (oh I miss those momentsssss ....aaaaaaa)

Automatically, banyak choreo2 di musical kali ini was cut copy pasted and editted from those movement... these applies to dugem and battle. Honestly si om yg ngajarin hip hop ini ..... gayanya somehow gua suka... emang dia kadang rese :P ahhaah :) but gua cukup cocok sama style dia.... remember that should be me El ? heheheh :)

But MRT dance... was one dance where I don't take anything from the movements I learned from si Om.... I can only say, this dance is holy spirit inspired, and for the joint part dimana kita dance rame2 buat MRTnya, it was choreographed SO FAST that I couldn't believe : hey IT'S DONE !! Hanya satu siang di OHGS setelah gua selesai kerja di hari sabtu, ga lebih dari 1.5 or 2 jam.... I really could not believe it till today.

Yg sitting down part, it took couple of days for me at home to finish it as we need 3 sets of movement and 3 sets of role to play. So it was kind of tricky.

Battle, dugem, smile dan yg lain lainnya took couple of trials to make. But MRT took nothing more than 2 hours. Gua inget ngomong ke Gill, dance MRT yg rame dah jadi, gua bisa ajarin besok (dgn cukup ga percaya dalem ati benernya)

Let's talk about the music of this dance. I know that Ceka is super stressed with this MRT song. Terbukti dengan marah marahnya dia di akhir2 musical yg bilang : ga ada, 2 taon lg ga ada bikin2 lagu hip hop.... aaaarrrggghhhhh....

Tp dance ini ga akan keren kl musicnya ga keren. And I will never get the inspired movement kl musicnya ga inspiring. Though the pilot song was not the final best result, it got me moving. As days gone by, dengan Ceka perfecting the song *sambil diancem ancem gua..... satronin rumah ceka sampe jam 11 malem....... en demanding banyak beat sana sini.....sok toy....kaypoh...dan lain lainnya.....maap Ceka*.....the final result of the song is to me.... is a Perfect match with the dance.... and for me : this is by far Ceka best work in hip hop song :) EHHEHEHEHEH :) Don't give up Cek... 2 taon lagi kita bikin hip hop song lagi atuh :)

So all the award that goes to this collaboration of MRT dance should go to no other one than the Inspirer : GOD :) He overcomes our expectation, infused me with movement that I don't need to rely on the power of man (si uncle hip hop) but relying on Son of God Himself, and I believe He put the beat in Ceka's mind, and He granted the idea to Felix.

This award goes to HIM and Him alone :)

Lastly....over reward.

Yg sering baca blog gua would know that I have bought a home on August 22nd' 2011.

Di tengah2 sibuk2nya musical, gua sempet squeeze in some time to see, decide and clear the paper works to buy the home...... September 2011 was indeed : MADNESS.

and for those who bought home before will know the HYPE and excitement of : buying ur first home :) aaaaarrrrrgggggghhhh .... bahagianya itu kayak.... I don't know how to describe it...... the gratefulness for a wonderful gift is ... amazing...

Selesai gua beli rumah di tanggal 22 August itu, that was the first week dimana kita mulai latian gabungan Musical...which was sooo hectic......so even though I was so excited, I didn't have the time think about it much...

On one YRC service after I bought the home, He simply give me this message:

"This home is my gift for you. You take care over my business through this musical, and I'll take care over yours. I am your provider and I will provide" langsung air mata gua kejerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ga karuan....

What have I given to God through this musical ? It was only time, commitment, practice hours, .....anyone could do it... I don't think what I have given to God is equivalent to the price of the house. To certain extent as seen in my earlier blog, and as what I have curhatted to El....I feel like quitting this musical.... I just want to : runaway... let Gill handle all.. my commitment was not the best.... if I must say... worst than the commitment I gave to Naboeng...

I should be ashamed shouldn't I ? I should... but I know well I'm imperfect. He knows far too well that I am super broken goods ... but this broken goods want to give everything that's left unbroken in her to the hands of the Potter for Him to fix.

In exchange...He gave her a home....

this fixed goods is forever grateful....

Above is my story on how my life was changed dramatically over this musical..... over prett, tess, miracle, time, award and the gifts

and to close :

dan kuyakin semua kan indah pada akhirnya

tiada ragu tiada bimbang ku melangkah dengan pasti...

demi.... Cinta
