Ismail on Malaysia Hari Ini

We were on tv today! Check it out.

Yes, I second That!

Like Linora had mentioned in the post before, Sunday was truly magical. Having the orchestra play along with us was just an experience that no words can describe. It honestly brought a tear to my eye and that's a first for me. Here are more pictures of the orchestra along with writer U-en Ng who decide to join in for the sheer thrill of showing off his violin skills.
























In addition to what Linora has said about what we do in when we're waiting around, here's a few more examples on what we do.

Some of us dance.

Some of us take videos of the orchestra.



Some of us get some exercise.



Some of us catch up on some history.



And lastly, some of us just get really pissed off and decide to punch our fellow cast members.

Before I end this post, i've got an announcement to make. For those of you that have liked all the pictures you've seen on this blog or just simply want to see more of the madness that goes on during rehearsals, click on the link below to see all the photos that have been taken during rehearsals!

We Are In Awe!!

It's like we have never seen an orchestra perform before.

Sunday was the day, we finally sang together with the orchestra that is beautifully conducted by Meryn and my gosh... we were in total awe. I mean, to hear the music being sung is one thing but to actually hear the live version with full on orchestra with the drums, oboe, flute, cello and violins.. oh did i mention there is a bass guitar and electric guitar as well.

we were.. just going wow most of the time..

Singing with them... was quite an experience - and hey let those of us who have not experienced it before - be in awe lah!

My my who is that I spy with my little eye... Can you see the weirdo there who is playing the violin... yes I mean the one wearing specs... male and ok ok.. I'll be nice :S


That's our 'beloved' writer U-En.

Multi talented, eh? :)

I don't think I've seen Joe smile this much... You can't see it but he is smiling. In fact we were all smiling. :)

See :)

Of course in between there was a bit of waiting around.. but we all had our own means of keeping busy..

some of us read a book..

some of us decided to play gangster..

some of us sat around.... She only looks it but she was actually playing a fool :P yes I mean you Tisha :P


some decided to strangle somebody's cello casing... I really think it belongs to the guy playing in front of us.. sorry mate... but it was just ..there!!

and some.. well decided to go APE!!


Wheee.... it hurts on the shoulder though.. Lex... show off hehehe

We were fed a very hearty and healthy meal. Thanks Joe and Faridah :)


We also got to makan together ... hehe ohh gosh now I'm hungry.
