HELLO SEOUL, 13 jun
we checked in at grand ambassador hotel, it was a 5 star hotel at first our check in failed, i just dun believe tat we will stay in such luxurious hotel, then it was real, we were really staying here, wa this time cai zheng finally do sth tat we will not mao him, hotel so gd got free shuttel to myen dong n dong dae mun,
toyoko inn i try to wear like jay chou - wo bu pei, mtv female lead, look alike rite, jiji was so amused with the unfinshed tidbits tat i hang on a hanger.
waiting for bus to from daejuen to gumi, we were very vexed the whole trip cos of the transportation too costly we try to minimised by moving hotel from town to town, mr roh car is so big tat it can carry 17 luggages, so luggage go wif mr roh to gumi, n we were less burden board bus to gumi. so i have sit on Korea long dist bus n train
this yijun huh , after we left mr chua room we quickly rush back to watch pirahnas, after the show ended then we found out yijun not around, at first i thot she was at ruby room talking so nv care, but as time getting late like 2am, she still nt back the worst is her luggauge still spreading like a dustbin on the floor n next day we r leaving ealy, we start looking for her, called jiamin room, but she wasnt there, went to the guy room also nt there, call all the DHT room also noone pickedup, went to c if she was still at mdm room to find out their room door nv close, then walk around floor by floor to hear which room got her voice but in vain, went down lobby also cant find, both her phone in the room, we just very worried n dun noe how she appear into the thin air, i even thot she was kidnapped and went to the waste bin to search, also thot she lock herself in a cupboard but also nv c her, then she came back to say tat she was in wanting room n fell aslp, i was so angry i sclded her for very irresponsible, i can t stand ppl nv finish wat is most impt then go out play
our itinery in jeju include riding auto bike but due to bad weather n the chances of danger, tourguide change to horse riding, as i scared sitting on the horse will dirty my clothes, i wear a poncho over, the farm require all to wear a vest n hat so tat the horse can recognise, then the result become like tat...... we became the places of interest at the farm, a lot of ppl wanted to take pic wif us and our wierd clothing

me n yijun, this trip i found out actually yijn was a very sociable n gluttonful lady, she ate alot finish her own table food then go other table eat, she will wait for me to pack my lagguage n do sit up together,
perf at Gumi theatre, our dream finally fulfilled, we finally can bring our des arts production overseas, this is the first time, we hang our backdrop ourselves nobody command us but we command others to hang, fun though the first time all cloth crooked till cannot be shown, the cloth also nt long enough so all cloth have to be hung on the air. perf was such a success,
jeju we took photo wif some rocks call long yan shi, cant even c where is the rock, cai zheng i m going to kill u, last yr in taiwan is the er luan bi n mao tou bi, this yr is the lava dragon eye, i warn u stop bringing us to see rocks
this is a little bit fresh, lunch b4 the perf
our des arts mini post perf supper, we gather at Jiamin room to eat the food tat mr chua gave us n some chicken we buy, then to find out we left a bag of food in mr roh car, diongggg.
we all watched the korean talent together wif laughter
Ju yuen me n jiji, supposed to b an outing wif Ju Yuen become a grp outing, we hug together we i first met Ju yuen, i didnt expect her to rem me also rem my name, she came into my dressing room n gave me a present from etude hse, i was very touched, as seldom got ppl give me present for nth, i was very vexed for very long thinking wat i shd give back to her, in the end i decided to treat her, so met wif her
our drinking session wif mr roh, in the end ruby vomitted , shiji face turn white she go vomit then her face become normal immediately, we took cab back to hotel again to find out we leave our food n next day breakfast in their car again, this trip we have been leaving food in ppl car, in the end star n yijun went back to take
Naomi Island, the winter sonata shooting place, very pretty, i keep leaving my name on the stones n rocks
bbq chicken
DES at the teddy bear musuem - Joanne Studio, the polar was so comfortable tat we dun wanna get up, after the trip the tourguide gave each of us a bear as souvenier
this is the most delicious meal, first is spicy bbq pork then the fried rice where the staff hit and make noise with the spoon n plate, i ate the most
tat day we dance 12 dance altogether, 2pm, 4pm n 7pm. by 4pm our battery already very low, bao say cai zheng go help us buy battery, then cum back wif bread, cum on bread again. but it was really very touching as Dao song nearing the end we heard the audience shouting bravo and clapping loudly, at first thot was singaporeans but yijun say was the other audiences
Banquet dinner after our bravious show at Cheong Ju, its BBQ chicken, very nice, but very eat till very bored i set aside to play game n vowed to eat supper after i reach hotel
our last precious day at seoul
become a training day, It was the red packet bday, n she even give face to MR Roh nearly wanna slap her. tat day was very windy, the classroom was very hot, then when we break we went out everyone shouted in joy as cold stong wind brushed our face thru the window, mr roh wanted us to stay longer so he treat us eat ice cream, he is really a very diff chorepgrapher, i cant stand ppl doing music on the spot, he thot he is jay chou, but actually its quite a new experience working with choreographers of diff way of choreographing n language barrier, think this is the first time we experience failure when working with oversea choreographer, we usually took 3 -4 days to finsh a piece, but now we even have to cancel our itenary profusely n add training, n i was th e worst dancer in this piece, i was asked to go back the very first step i step, in the end he cant stand me n change ppl. but after learning this piece i found out tat not all dance u pull very long n far means very nice, korean dance u nid to b very straight n dancing in the water
Thanks to jiji the whole trip we have a lot of grudges and we lend a listening ear to each other and our meeting point is the toilet
Watched Nederlands Dans Theatre last sat at Esplanade Theatre
Theres 2 dance
1) Memoires d'Oubliettes
it started off wif multimedia showing the name n some introduction. The settings is a those kind of longstrip surrounding the stage, where dancers enter n exit mysteriously,
this piece dancers were better, can show more of their technique, their padeda very flow n 'elastic',
it ended wif a dancer n multimedia, think the dancer shd dance to the steps of the media but the steps nv blend think cos quite hard, the dancer nid to avoid the cans dropping n adhere to the timing when cans drop. so i think the multimedia might b an extra n might be something tat an audience might criticise. the dropping of the can let me imagine our Sword Chess, Mr Roh also wanted chess to b droped but NDT dancer can run away b4 it drops we have to stay there n let the chess hit us...
2)Sehnsuct
this is a very genius piece, the choreographer built a box where it can turn 360 degree, so when it turns a dancer when lying down will then become standing up, also the chairs n table set inside the box were glued so strong tat it can hold a dancer upside down, also only the dancer wif tat very long legs can dance in this piece as only long legs can fit the right angle so tat when it turns the leg can hold tightly to the box.
but the grp piece alittle too sq too ballet, though some things we can copy in terms of space n direction, n i dun noe y the female dancers have to b naked, jiji say tat the choreographer might want to protray in image tat there is no diff in gender.
After all, i think the standard of these grp is nt as gd as the last time they were here, maybe al ot of them were just being promoted from NDT II to NDT I, some just joined last yr, but they were still very very gd, after watching i have the urge to quit dancing s i noe i can nv ance like them,
Haiz, this is the 1st time o walked out of esplanade alone, the feeling was so funny, everytime after perf we will sure share our views with each other, but this time, i just lost everyone when i walked out of the theatre, n also leaving my phone at DES i was uncontactable. i left myself to DEs to take my phone. last time we share comments with frds this time i can only share to a screen.... my life become more n more lonely..........
our last precious day at seoul
