AIS Saigon Moon Festival 2009 video and the terrible day I've been through...

A video of Moon Festival that my teacher, Mr Wyatt took photos and made. It is a wonderful video of his photography skills and bended beautifully with the music (though it's kinda sad... made me cry xD)

Enjoy :)

I wouldn't say I have had a good day today because I didn't. No one did anything nor anything else. My soul is just a little lost between the rain (there is no rain here) Might just be one of those day when your mood is no where good, no where bad. Mine is being stupid and making myself pissed off with myself... I guess I'm stress and tired.

How come a question of no answer like "Are you okay?" made me cry half way through lunch?

I'm tired of my headache, my H/W, my assignment, my thoughts, my swinging mood, my brother, my report, my mark, my math skills, my trying-to-be-I'm-totally-okay... I want to ******* yell out "**** THE WORLD" (Martin-my random friend would know this) I need a big long rest to regain my consciousness....

WHY CAN'T I LEFT MY THOUGHT BEHIND LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES?

I feel sorry for anyone who apparently just pissed me off today by being bloody annoying. Though I have managed to try and be as cool as I can, as normal as I can, my headache like hell and all I wanted do was puke. I have so much on my mind lately than my head could have BOOM in no time. I want a good old hug, but something always stop me from doing so... And the result is that I cry to myself. (God you must think I am so weird)

THE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE DAY I HAVE BEEN THROUGH

May be what I need is doing something good to help the world?

May be what I need is kick my ass and get to work?

May be what I need is a good break from school?

May be what I need is a Vitamin Punk's pill(where on earth am i gonna get 'em???) or really a dose of inspiration?

The After-math of Moon Fest

Me on the day :)

Finally, I find myself some time after finishing my assignment, to write a new post tell you about what I have been up to...

The Mid Autumn Moon Festival was a success night or in other word an "exhausted night". I lost my voice the next day, and my throat hurt terribly. But haha I enjoyed being that crazy though I haven't seen the entire performance but I think they've done a beautiful job, especially the tree! xD I loved that tree!!! The kids from primary and especially the blind kids from Loreto sang beautifully and I've nearly cried listening to this girl amazing voice...

And here is the four greatest tree ever :D I love drawing on their faces and dressing them and making their hairs!!! Oh god how much I love them all :D

So as I have yet manage to upload any pic of the clothing I and Eunice designed. Here it is...

Arent they COOL?

The entire performers at the front and you could see me doing touch up and with a stupid face xDDD

Me working backstage- my friend took this xDD

Of course there will be more photos coming soon I hope :D Anyway, since it is over... I have to get right back into doing my assignment for HSIE and this is the website I've created.

I tried to do some on the rehearsal night but yup someone told me to forget it... and now i'm screwed doing extra work for the weekend... As much as I want to "forget it" I can't earn another bad mark for god sake my report came back very negative :( and I am prepared to have my head chop off pretty soon...

Sorry, being this "too busy" I haven't been drawing much. A dose of inspiration would be good for me?

The City at Night

For today is the painting of the city at night.

A copy from my favourite artist- Georgia O'Keeffe- oil painting on canvas

(It looks a little different from the original too of course- I'm not a master of this kind)

I guess most of you guys know that I used to take some art classes and this is what they trained me for... This took me a whole MONTH or two (I don't remember) but it was really tiring! Though I really do like the painting I will not ever be able to do another one.

MUAHAHHAHAHA... XD Yes guys I've gone crazy now to announce you "HAPPY MOON FESTIVAL" is printed into cards and I'll passing them out soon :D for the guys that have been working hard of course :D yeah yeah yeah *dancing around in stupidity*

So finally I am going to Cambodia with the group. Meeting today with the BOSS was fine. The BOSS has a very wise knowledge of Cambodia of course because the BOSS little cutie aritist is from Cambodiaas well. The last time I've been to Cambodia was just to visit some famous tourist place and I was young to really understand the life there. It was like Vietnam 10 years ago, from what I remembered, may be worst than that. But I have to say, it's really hard to really have empathy for them. Of course you may have sympathy for them but I know it is hard to really have a real empathy of what they are experiencing after their bloody leader- the Pol Pot years... Anyway, I really hope to go there this time to gain a fuller understanding of the history there.

Oh btw, guess what!?!? Tomorrow is the arrival day of costumes!!! I will bring my camera to snap some pictures... Though I haven't been sleeping well not worry about how the costumes would look like and if it's ruined what will I do!?!? So I'm really scared... I hope they would come out well, because if anything happens I WILL ONLY HAVE BLOODY ONE DAY TO FIX IT!!! T-T

Good night it's already late :)

Happy Mid-Autumn Moon Festival

I am wondering if this is something the guys will like!

Happy Moon Festival!

Sneak peak to Moon Festival

Sneak peak to Moon festival! This is from one of our rehearsal. I hope this will turn out great and I hope the big heavy weight on my shoulder for the clothing will be fine! (I really hope) The backdrop would be okay and the make-up will be good as well! These guys are great! They've been working very hard and tiring for the performance!

Enjoy!

"Cuoi" very talented boy!

hmm well Pong is now officially the magical man :D he is great!

These are the group Eunice and I have been directing (well helping)

They are doing great now! There is no need for me there at all I guess...

My Linh as Vy (the wife) and Dae Won as Cuoi

Director on the table!?! :D

Wonderful beautiful banyan tree! They are one of the most significant chracter through the story.

I have a surprise for these guys but wait... haha not so sure yet!

Here is the photo of my Green tea moon cake with Eunice on the last post. My favourite of all!!!

Hmm, I had a well enough good day.

I'm wondering if playing music is something I can really do well... People have been telling me, and I know to myself that I only play a few same beats over and over and my tempo is messy as hell. I love playing drums because it's GREAT! Though some told me that I'm good and stuff but I think they're just trying to be nice... (I appreciated that of course) I don't see myself good at all and it just makes me feel worst when I see someone else who is so good at it!

MESSY HEAD...

A surprise is coming!

TL

Too tired...

Mooncake today for lunch! and it is.... GREEN TEA!!! i LOVE it!

Out of the blue, Megan tells me that I have an aussie accent and I was just blankly shock haha because I actually don't have one... or at least I don't think I do... Hmm very interesting :D

It was actually quite a tiring day. I had to stuff cloth into these tails for the tigers and my fingers hurt so bad right now still. haha I managed to sneak and do that every lesson xD An the afternoon with two tests and then get a move on with the backdrop city landscape making... It was pretty much tiring, but at least I feel like I'm doing something good, and important for the Moon Festival/Lantern Festival/ Mid-Autumn Festival (Absolutely, so many names right?) I hope I've done a good job with designing the costumes... or I will simple jump off the cliff!

So tired...

Good night!

P/S: sorry no pictures for this post
