Grinder-Man, Mustang Singapore (show 3, 4)

It's saturday.
Today's reporting time was 4pm.
I brought my camera again.
This time, die die must get the group photo.
Otherwise the plan will not happen.

Met up with Yuman, Trudy and Gobi at 2.30pm for lunch.
But before that, I was rushing around to get materials.
First to Ikea tampines to get the frame.
Then to Art Friends to get the paper.
And I made it in time to meet them at Citylink mall at 2.30pm.

We were trying to decide what to have for lunch and Gobi was suggesting the different restuarants to dine in.
Wow... budget leh.
In the end, we settled for foodcourt food at Marina Square.
Trudy already had lunch so that leaves the 3 of us to get our lunch.
3 takeaways from the same stall.

Surprise, surprise...
Yuman and Gobi don't take chilli but the uncle put chilli in their food.
So I had like 3 servings worth of chilli paste in my chicken horfun cause mine had chilli too.
I could felt the chilli heating up my stomach after that.

Today's warm up was special.
We had massage sessions for each other.
Super shiok!
Following that was a few practice sessions of freestyle movements and walking.
Then it was break to prepare for the 6.30pm show.

In the girls' changing room:

Yuman, Trudy

Girls group photo (not all are here) in the changing room with the Japanese members.

The girls always have our own way of fun in the changing room.

Pre-show briefing:

Down stairs

Up stairs

Jin, Norihiro, Yumi

oh... Maki, the choreographer, knows like 4 languages.
Japanese (her main language)
French (her 2nd best)
English (so-so)
Singlish (hahaha)

I've already returned 90% of French I've learnt to the lecturer.
Thus, I could only speak very simple french to Maki. hahaha.

The members of Grinder-Man were dressed up nicely after the show.
We later found out from Yumi that the Esplanade people are bringing them to some restaurant to dine.

Had supper with Yuman and Trudy before heading back home.

Au Revior,

Grinder- Man, Mustang Singapore (show 1, 2)

Here it is...
After nights of rehearsals both in the Rehearsal Studio and on the performing ground, our first 2 shows are finally here.
The first show was a bit disappointing cause there wasn't much crowd around.
It could be that people just knock off from work and are still having dinner.

Reporting time was 3pm.
We watched our full-dress rehearsal video and was laughing away.
Then the warm up begins and break time to prepare and get changed for the primere show.

Self warm up

Mirror fun

Anyway, I found the video for our first show on youtube.
Unfortunately, it's only the first part.
Still, kudos to the person who uploaded it on youtube.
Here it is:

The second show had more crowd.
People make mistakes, but who in the audience would know?
hahaha.
After each performance, Hitoshi will come and give comments on what we need to improve on.

So fast, we had our first 2 shows done.

4 more shows to do,
Peiyan

Looking for Car?

Been very bored lately.
Couldn't think of what to do.
So I decided to check out the different new cars on sale at sgcarmart.
After browsing a few of the car brands in mind, these are the few picks that I like.

Chevrolet Optra Magnum Sedan 1.6L
$56,888 (A)
$53,888 (M)
Fuel tank capacity: 60L
Fuel consumption: unknown

Chevrolet Aveo Sedan
$52,188 (A)
$49,188 (M)
Fuel tank capacity: 45L
Fuel consumption: unknown

Mitsubishi Lancer
EX 1.5 Elegance: $58,988 (A)
Fuel tank capacity: 59L
1.6 (A) $49,988
1.6 (M) $48,488
1.6 Sports (A) $53,988
1.6 Sports (M) $50,488
Fuel tank capacity: 50L
Fuel consumption: unknown

I feel that the front is really ugly for Elegance.

Nissan Sunny 1.6L
1.6 EX FL (A) $54,500
1.6 EX FL (M) $52,000
1.6 SS FL (M) $58,500

Mazda 3
This one I tried once and feel that the car is not fuel efficient.
It's like a patrol drinker car.
Another thing is that sometimes, the car refuses to accelerate further at 40km/h.
Other than that, the car is rather smooth to drive.

The cars are expensive and I estimated that with my salary as a teacher, it'll take 4+ years to save that amount of money at $1k per month.
On top of that, there's road tax, radio tax, car plate, patrol, maintenance cost involve.
Sigh...
When will I get my car?

Zoom-zoom,

Cloverfield?!?!?!

Finally, at 10.30pm, I reached Serene's house to join the class gather for about 45min.
They were watching Cloverfield.
Serene looked scared.
By the time I came, they were already half way through the movie.
I just sat down and watch.

This is one boring movie with moster in it.
First of all, it makes no sense to have a normal videocam surviving all that shock, blood, with night mode and the built in light on to have a battery to last throughout the whole movie.
Secondly, it's way to fast for 3 ppl to climb up 57 storeys on stair with that videocam recording.
Thirdly, that auto-fousing scene... rubbish.
Fourth, video is like being retrived after all that rocks falling on it and covering it at the end?!?!?! Like the tape isn't damaged at all from the impacts.

Whatever...
If you tell me it's scary.
I think it's totally not.
It could be because I watched it from the middle on.
But if the last half is so boring, what can the first half spice up to?

yawnz,

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Finally, I caught the lastest movie of Indiana Jones in the theatres.
Watched it with Teng Yong and Fifi at AMK Hub after Jx's wedding.
The second newest Cathay cineplex (newest one is at Downtown East).
The cinema was freaking cold.
You can actually feel the cold air blowing at you!!!

I watched the past 3 movies of Indiana Jones on tv and I liked it.
It can be considered as one of my childhood movies I grew up with.
Each movie is filled with new advanture for artifects.
The Radiers March is an unforgettable song piece of the movie.

Many funny moments in the movie.
In the first 2 movies, Indiana Jones is seen working alone.
Then comes the 3rd movie where his father comes into scene.
And now in the 4th movie, his son comes into action.

Knowledge is for you to find, not for you to be fed with.

burrrr cold,
Peiyan
