BALLET MUSICAL SHIM CHUNG! 20 shows in 10 days!

So..been busy with this production the past 3 weeks. Well for me only the past 3 weeks but for the rest, i guess 2 months.hee...cos they've been rehearsing for this for 2 months but i only learnt everything at the very last minute, 4 days before the real performance! All on stage, din even rehearse it in the studio first. Was crazy, but happy that i could be a part of this hilarious production.
20 shows in 10 days, first time ever for me..that's 2 shows a day everday n working 3 consecutive sundays. If u add up all the shows sdt does in a year, it just barely hits the 20 mark..hee. Anyway, it was a real test of professionalism n endurance and certainly does prepare us for the monstrous Nutcracker season end of the year, cos that's WORSE! Was tiring and it really got mundane doing it over n over again esp once in the day n then all over again at night, but well we got through it and now i cant believe it's over!
Some pictures to share, most of them courtesy of foo's camera cos i was abit lazy to take pics n my camera batteries have been driving me crazy..
