After more than half a year of preparation and 3 months of hardcore practices, the debut of "Colours of Vesak" on the 22nd of May 2010 in Norwood Concert Hall was a success!! We received thunderous applause and tons of congratulative words....it was a memorable event. However, I still feel that it's not done YET! There's still this feeling at the back of my mind that, we'll still have practice this saturday from 8am - 4pm.
For those who don't know what this event is about, the play was done in conjunction with the celebration of the annual Vesak Day Celebration - the birth, enlightenment and passing of the Buddha. This festival is largely celebrated in the asian countries as well as in some western countries. In adelaide, the SA Zhu Lin Buddhist Association cum RuShi Buddhist Youth Group celebrated the event with another style this year -> a drama depicting the Life of the Buddha in ancient Indian era.
I hereby would like to take the opportunity to thank the whole crew!! Thank you for your hard work *studying during rehearsals*; thank you for your commitment and cooperation; thank you for the fun and joy; thank you for the bond of friendship that has never been there or else stronger than ever!! Organizing such an event hosting for over 400 spectators is no easy job. There are tons of naggings *I know I did...as well as from other people*, tons of spamming emails... ... etc! However, it's worth everything as it's now part of our memory that would last the the last days of my life *I am pretty sure in those who have participated as well as those who watched!!*!!
A great thanks for my bunch of great committee members, working with you guys have never been better. Sorry if I have been invasive in anyways.....thanks so much for the hardwork! Loved the props, costumes and sound effects!!! Too much to thank that I can't put it in words...well you know!!
Many people have been asking for the DVD on the concert, just a heads up: IT'S ON ITS WAY........it's coming to town really soon~ I will be one of the 1st who will lay my hands on it!! Can't wait to watch it ^.^ The spectator enjoyed the drama while we were frantically changing backstage....I wanna watch!! I WANT I WANT!!!! *huff puff huff puff....calm calm*
Okay, I will place in another entry with picture for momento and jazz up the whole blog! Till then,
-huey yeng-
