greeting the VIP

had a sketch too
it's a Chinese New Year story, The legend of Nian
directed by Weng Liang
added new elements into the story, made it a different and new one

kung fu masters vs. Nian

the villagers

the reunion dinner

the wise Zhuge Liang hahaha

good show!

these done-with-their-performance audiences

then lastly it's the choir
which I was in hehe
we sang 春風吻上我的臉, 大地回春, We Are Young
until now i still have the recordings we listened to when we practiced
those days when we couldn't have time to rest after class~

the conductor, Xiau Jeong

and that's the end of our show
the end of our very own Chinese New Year Festival

woohoo~

everyone was relieved that it's finally done
no more practices, and i think the following day which was a Monday, had the highest number of patients going to the clinic lol
all predicted themselves to be sick on the next morning, be it headache, stomachache, or whatever illness they could think of
no of course they're not too tired to go to class lololol
