M! The Opera takes official flight
This opera was finally launched on Monday 20th Feb. At the JW Marriot Hotel, KL. Smack in the middle of hell. We had to get there by 1pm latest. It's like the witching hour, except in the day. But the jam wasn't thaaat bad lah.
The gals and.. umm, our very own male geisha Zedeck got our hair done at Grace Salon at BSC. We had to be there by 11am to be done by 12pm. I think most of us made it. The salon girls just wanted to get rid of us as soon as possible. At least those were the vibes I got. What to do.. services for free maaah.
So we got there, walked around, checked out the ballroom, some of us packed and ate Kenny Rogers Roasters for lunch outside the ballroom, coz God knows most of us can't afford to dine in this very upmarket pretentious place.
Then we put on our red and black costume combos, had our blocking and staging done by Jo and then we ran through the line up with Saidah. By then it was nearing 4pm when the press conference was supposed to start. And once again a rush make-up job was called for. All my training after years of getting dressed in hotel rooms/hallways/washrooms/public toilets/make shift changing rooms, and making-up in 20 minutes tops in the same places came into effect again. It's called nerve-wrecking fun.
The pc began. We had speech after speech. Then we were on. I think the sound sucked big time. But all of us performed to the best of our ability, or at least, I hope so. Then we had to take pictures, mingle with the press and whathaveyou. The smart ones headed straight for the food. Haha.
Some of us were interviewed by different media/press people. Some well known bloggers were present too. Justin and I spoke to this guy from an online magazine called www.think.com. Must go check it out.
Hope the press were impressed.
After more mingling and posing for photos (including posing with a new Mercedes car model) we headed back to Bangsar for rehearsals. Of course I got stuck in a jam coz I was on the road during the OTHER witching hour in KL... i.e. 6pm onwards. Helltime again. Got to B'sar in time for a quick stop at Starbucks with the guys before getting to the warehouse.
It was a good day. Glad it's finally out there for the world to buy tickets to come and watch. Now to make sure they have a damn good reason to do so...
