Went to school early in the morning of 9am yesterday to prepare for Xin Yao Jie 2003. I was the stage manager and everything went great and the whole show ends at 9pm.
The rehearsals starts first and Huiping and I got ourselves to familiar with the equipments names. Get the positions and the numbers of the singers ready to flow with the rehearsal. Then after that, met Colin and had chats with him regarding every contestants, chat about many stuff, about composing.
This show was easier to handle. Cause the contestants were all people who we don't know, and they get the meaning that you are in charge without even me raising my voice to gather them into the changing room. They would be so cute to nod their head in advance even before you finish your instructions, sit and be pretty in the changing room and even walk out to the waiting area when they know their songs are coming. No shouting of commands to keep quiet nor to keep at the waiting area. Just smiles and nodding of heads, occasionally a firm handshake or a pat on the back to ask them to relax, good luck and jia you...
Junxin from 93.3 F.M. was the host for the day. At first, he seems quite a tough guy to work with. But when we were at the back stage, we saw a different side of him. Before the show starts, Huiping, Junxin and me were at the exit area outside the changing room. I was fiddling with my headset to a comfortable spot on my head when my communicating piece just went *zouz* and swing to the bottom. Hahaha, and I jumped. Three of us were on our stomachs laughing.
At 7pm, we start our show. Everything went smooth and great till the fifth song. When everyone thought it has ended, we cue Junxin to go out to introduce the next song. Hahaha...so he just butt in his voice when the singer started to sing his last sentence. Junxin immediately put out his togue and gave us a bursting-into-laughers face. Pengz, make Huiping and me all the more wanted to laugh.
When we reached the 13th song, Garry from the sound, Jacky and Siewfai from the lighting and Qingxi from the overall in charge started their celebrations over the walkie talkie. We started talking about who deserved the most credit. Garry said he deserved the most, cause without the music no one can sing. Jacky and Siewfai each want to caim credits too, they said that without lights the singers and host would all just fall flat on their nose, heehee. For me, I said without me, there be no one to sing or host. Hahaha... They asked how much was the credit. Garry said was five thousand. The lighting people said they want it, Garry said okay, he would give them five thousand rupiah. When they started grumbling, he add that at least five thousand rupiah can buy a burger. Hahaha...
The last song was the worst. Hahaha, it was the funniest. I guess, cause everyone was in the mood of ending and celebrating. The two contestants are from Hong Kong, I guess, cause they sound like. One was to play the song and the other sing, the title of the song was 'Bu Wa Wa', meaning rag doll. They bought a rag doll and had it sat on top of the other key board. Qingxi started the joke by asking why is the doll doing there. Garry replied 'Back up vocal'. Oh man, everyone started laughing over the walkie talkie at the same time... Then Huiping started telling me scary stories about the doll moving and so on. Hahaha, I told the rest her stories. After that, we heard the worst thing, he broke his voice while singing. Then came this joke from the control 'Oh shit he cock up'. Garry replied 'What shit? This is not cock up, like that is cock down.' Oh man, they were so simply men's talk! Hahaha, then I make the noise of clearing my throat and they got my meaning and starting a new round of laughing. People in the backstage exit were already laughing and almost rolling on their stomachs. Especially Junxin! He really cannot make it, hahaha, kept exclaiming 'He broke! He broke!' Then the joke move on to the singer. Qingxi asked why is it that the singer kept on of his hands in his pocket. Hahaha, Garry replied 'Must be inside itchy lar.' Pengz, that started off another round of laughing. Then I started to ask this stupid question to contribute to more laughers, 'Why when he sang "Bu Wa Wa", it always sounds like "Bu Wang Wang"?' At this time, my backstage crews were dead with laughers! Junxin laughed till his eyes were gone! But thank god he manage to stop the laughing spell on time to come out for the ending announcing.
We stopped for fifteen minutes break for the whole show. Then all of us, the control, sound, backstage and Junxin gathered and started another rounds of laughing. Hahaha... We talked about what happened to those who didn't manage to get all of the jokes going around in the walkie talkie, discussing how we had laughed back then. Hahaha...all was fun!
After the announcing of results, all the winners poised for pictures after pictures. Then Junxin came back into the dressing room to pack up and call for a taxi to get him home. He asked me for directions out to the main gate, so Huiping and I walked him out. I made a comment 'Wahz, Hei hei yi dian dian liaoz! Yao zou na li?' (meaning so dark and I cant find my way). 'Wahz ni si le! Ni you ye mang arh!' (meaning you having night blindness) he said and three of us started laughing. 'Xiang ji leh!' he started to comment again. Pengz, then go on about chicken don't make any noise at night, but I am not cause I still very noisy...Got him on the right track to the main gate, asked him to walk straight no matter what happen, even if it means bumping into a lamp post. Hahaha...he kept laughing in that high pitch tone.
I got his number from Qingxi later when I returned into LT 26. Gave him a message and asking him if he bumped into anything and to take care. He replied 'Aiyo! I bump into taxi lar! Hahaha...' Pengz...he was fun. Hahaha...
In the LT, there were lots of interactions with Colin and Garry. We thank each other, then speak a bit about the fun and everything. I would be helping out for the third semin final in Singapore Press Holding as a stage manager and Huiping as my assitant too. Hahaha, looking forward to it!
