I just returned from the 01 Scouts Annual Show/Campfire and it was really great! My first 01 event! Reached there about 7pm and went to the second floor gallery where Jim and I stayed for most for the show. From there, we could see everything, from the path that the people took while doing the thousand-legged worm thing, to all the performances. The show was very well-planned, cos it kept me entertained for more than 2 hours straight, and made me sit on the edges of the chair (ok, partly due to the railing blocking my view), when on normal circumstances I would have fallen asleep...haha.
Firstly, I have to say that the whole production was very well made, from costumes to the banners to the choreography, those poles things outside, things like that, also lighting and sounds. =) Liked the atmosphere there.
The show was about two guys from Ancient Rome, who tries to steal things (thats why the show is called Oceans 1! and obviously 01, haha), like a head that could turn lead into gold, lol. They kept failing, and even got 'killed' by guards, lol, and went into a place between heaven and hell, where they met some angels and devil-like things who destroyed each other. So they went on to the future (the place worst than hell), which is the year 2008, haha. And just tried to steal again...
Haha, dont want to write out the whole story, its exclusive lol. I liked A LOT of things about the show, and some are a must to be named, like dance by the Rome guards, which consisted of many of my friends, and was very cool, swinging the sticks around, they called it pole dance, lol. To these people, you guys didnt screw up okay...it was really nice! A little bit of problem here and there is nothing, haha. We all know the effort you've put in...=) And then theres the "Award-winning dance by RI Red Cross". It really had won an award, and I found it very jaw-dropping how they managed to do all they did, very coordinated, and all the human puppets... And haha some friends of mine were among them too! Another nice one was the one by the ventures, the dance was funk i think, very well done, very fast hands and feet.
Thoroughly enjoyed the show! Wanna say job well done to all friends in 01! Sad that they still had to stay back to keep everything, and I had to leave slightly earlier cos my parents were already there... Anyway, this show has made me feel even more enthusiastic about 01! When I felt all the shouting and screaming...when I sang the scout songs together with them, haha, when I saw them putting their hands on each others shoulder and moving side to side...it feels so...i cant begin to describe it. Today was fun! Im looking forward to my first training...
Tomorrow my family will be going to visit our ancestors for 清明节, I know its over, dont ask me why, but my family just does it later. So tmr will be pretty much taken, for this and some more work...
For pics on the show, please refer to Alvin's blog! Cos mine is nothing compared to his, haha. =)
