Daiko Filming

English Post Once Again!

Today's daiko training before the filming in the morning,was quite smooth sailing. However, before we even started practising, the camera man came over and say that they wanted to film a candid scene of our practice, thus we have no choice but to obey. After which, we continued to have our self practice.

However, after lunch, we were to face the terrible truth! We are to carry 6 big drums, 2 small drums, 8 drum stands, the costumes, the drum sticks and our bag all the way from Blk 72 to Blk 30 near canteen 3! Imagine the distance!

We were so upset by the fact that the guys went round to try and borrow a trolley or a buggy to carry the drums over. However, after much attempts, Daniel and Melissa only manage to borrow one trolley. But it is better than none! So we make do with our 5 guys(Kenny, Xin Jie, Daniel, Chao Lin & Jevon), and 4 girls(Melissa, Stephie, me & Calista). The sun was scorching hot and we were quite dehydrated under the weather.

However, problem starts when we finished filming! Jevon left early and we were left with 4 guys and 4 girls. The worst situation is that we need to make 2 trips to get all the things back into the store rooms! This was one of the most tiring thing of the whole day! At the end of it, we went to Cheers to have some drinks and hydrate ourselves, and chit chat for a bit. However, we are all VERY VERY VERY TIRED!

All in all, though the filming was tiring and exhausting, I quite enjoy today's time with my fellow daikomates! Looking forward to the next outing with them! Time flew when I am always with them, I wonder why?
