::bangsawan : a recap::

::a friendly reminder : this entry is gonna be long::

::ahaa,bangsawan da berakhir..tp bahangnye masih dirasai di laman2 blog yg masih membicarakan tentangnya..saye sbg kapitan pun xmau terlepas peluang utk berkongsi ttg bangsawan ni dari sudut pandangan saya..uhh,mari kite soroti semula detik2 yg telah kita lalui sepanjang perjalanan ke tarikh 6 februari 2009::

::bermula pada akhir bulan oktober 2008..pada tika itu, kita baru sahaja memenangi tempat keseluruhan untuk IAW (kan??..correct me if m wrong..my memory doesn't serve me well lately)..waah, persembahan oleh kaum adam directed by aidid was very emotional..i was the prop master back then..the props for the play was very simple..i still have the airport n UK signboard in my room..a week after that, we the committee sat together, planning out the shadow committee for bangsawan. a few names were raised.. after further consultation with the individuals concerned, we finally came out with our very own production commitee..headed by Datuk Aainaa Kamila n assisted by Puteri Aidid Qamil, we could see that this year's bangsawan would be something different..refer to eman's post below for details on the committeee members..::

::basically, throughout the last few days of our semester, all we did was brainstorming on the suitable storyline.. the one that we believe would leave a deep impact to the spectators..the idea to do a continuation on Si Tenggang story was first brought by haq (thanx to eman and d gang for discovering his blog, if not, we would never found such a raw talent like him..kudos haq!!)..actually, we took a very big risk by delivering such a storyline..why, it's not bangsawan enough..and that is a VEY big risk i tell u..tp, everyone sebulat suara terima cerita tu..kalau kite x amek risk, xkan adela org tau ape akan jadik if we don't do it at the very first place kan??..so, the juniors can amek iktibar from it..ape2pun,kami semua amat yakin dgn cerita tu..alhamdulillah, semuanya berjalan lancar..::

::kami teruskan dgn sesi audition..waah,ramai jugak yg berbakat dlm Sapphire ni rupenye..saye plg igt mase first audition syasya..mmg menghayati watak btol die ni..her acting was powerful, n some even shed some tears!!(saye x ek..macho ah..ha3..)..after series of auditions, we finally came out with our casts line-up..hebat2 diorg nih..kalau suro nanges, nages..kalau suro gelak, terus gelak sampai x igt dunie..haa.hebat kan??..::

::pastu, cuti sem menjelang tiba..6 minggu woooo...cuti2 pun, kene peningkan pale otak ngan bangsawan ni..sampaikan Aaainaa Kamila pun x khusyuk skydiving kt NZ, akibat terlampau memikirkan tentang persediaan bangsawan ni..ayy..time cuti tuh, wan nur kapitan texted me.."nel2, costume mungkin overbudget"..saye pun reply la kan.."brape?""..."1000"...uish, terkedu ble saye bace mesej tu..nak sedapkan hati punye pasal,saye ckp kt ban2, "ow, mungkin dpt mintak kurang lagi..xpun,kite kene bt fundraising ngan intensive la nnt"..dlm hati saye, "ayy,sian junior.."...dlm pade tu gak, terpakse pening pale nak letak sape to represent Sapphire for the upcoming ICAN..adoii,sapela suro bt awal2 taun..dahle dkt2 ngan bangsawan..tp xpe..kami competitive supportive ngan program2 kolej!!..ha3..::

::januari, dalam kepale otak ni, bangsawan jelaaaaa yg ade...props, backdrop, n most importantly, BUDGET!!...waaah,sepanjang bangsawan ni, duet house mengalir cam air!!..lagi deras daripada air mata si daruma tuh..everyone was sooo busy..yg berlakon, yg bt props, yg bt backdrops, yg menari, yg berkompang, yg bersilat, ade jugak yg sibuk menyorokkan diri xnak tlg kt upper foyer tu..haih...::

::below are some of the pictures during the preparation..::




::kalau nak kate sepanjang tempoh preparation ni sumenye berjalan lancar, mmg saye ni penipu besar..harus disumpah jadik batu..macam2 dugaan yg terpakse kami lalui..contohnye, berkaitan ngan backdrop..ok, we use the backdrop paper n the paintings were deymn beautiful once they're done..lagi2 after di varnished..lip-lap ah backdrop tu..tp, timbul lak prob, "camne nak gantung ek??..bole tahan ke??..x koyak ke??"..bertubi tubi soalah menerjah otak kecik nih..we came up with a solution : paste them on top of the old backdrop..but when?..ahaa,this is the most interesting part..know what, we had to wake up as early as 6 in the morning just to get it done!!..waah,masing2 gathered at the court (alaaa,the one between the girls chalet n apartment) with panda eyes..rambut pon tercacak sane sini..almaklumlaa,baru terjaga dr dibuai mimpi..but that was a terrific xperience tho..maen2 gam kanji that was prepared by our very own 'Dewi Gam'..we had a whole lot of fun i tell ya!!...nah,kt bwh ni ade gmbr sket..saje nak kasik those who didn't join us jealous...ha3..btw, sy respek same sape2 yg terlibat..anda sume mmg the best!!..::



::undoubtedly, the road to 6th feb was filled with thousands of emotions..happy, anger, etc..tp, normall la kan??..lord, i miss gossiping with the props 'frequenters'..ha3..papepun, disini,saye memohon ampun jikalau ada yg terasa hati dan marah tatkala anda dimarah semasa house meeting mahupun taklim..tu tandanya saya syg korg..wee...XD..ow, xlupe juga pade sape2 yg tlah menjadi mangsa2 sms sesi mengumpul pendapat kami..ampun!!!..::

::smakin lame, waktu yg dinanti smakin tiba..5th februari, we had our full dress rehearsal..i only have one word to describe it : DISASTROUS!!!..wallaweyh, mane xnye, it was chaotic!..first off, the singgahsana's top fell. it hit syamim..thank goodness she was fine..pastu, backdrop x naik lsg..dhle x naik, koyak lak tuh...adoiii....one thing after another..that night was filled with mixed feelings..mostly sedih..ade yg nangis..muke sume org pucat lesi after rehearsal..macam br jumpe hantu..n me, i was clueless..spjg rehearsal, hati ni x henti2 berdegup kencang..s d stage mngr, i knew that only miracle will help us tomorrow...well, not literally..that night, a few of us burnt the midnight oil, mending the broken props gara2 singgahsana jatuh td..thnx hafiz fahmi, stab, zaim, luqman jr n senior, hairul n few more ppl who helped..pastu, smbg lak ngan sesi diskusi, lihat balik mane silap kami mase rehearsal td..mudah2an hari esok semuanya berjalan lancar..kami kaum adam mula tidur pada jam 3+..bg sstgh kaum hawa lak, mereka sume tdo jam 630..sumenye gara2 menyiapkan costume2 yg indah, sesuai utk dipakai pada pementasan malam nnt..sian mereka..papepun, they did a tremendously great job..siyes, bju dancers tu amat cantik..baju dayang2 gak!..those sequins and piping cam dibuat oleh pros!!..bagi sesetengah ahli Sapphire yg lain, katil dan tidur harus dilupakan terus..some went straight to mr ravi's house at 8.30 am to prepare the pisang salai..ha3,konfem2 ah xkan jadik pisang salai kan..tp, rupenye dan bentuknye ttp ade..respek same korg!!..walaupun xcukup tidur, still berhempas pulas di dapur mr ravi menyiapkan pisang salai tuh..::

::mlm tuh, masing2 sibuk di LT2..menyiapkan diri utk detik paling penting dan bersejarah yg bakal muncul tiba seketika nnt..ade yg sibuk bersolek, berbual, etc..meriah sungguh suasana LT2 mlm tuh..jam 7.56 mlm, saye terima mesej dari arip daud : "Gud Luck sapphhire!ingat.ikhlaskan diri kerana Allah.pert0l0nganNya pasti InsyaAllah.m0ga ber0leh kejayaan!"..jwpn saye simple : "mudah mudahan"..btw,thnx arip!..anda berjaya melegakan sikit perasaan chuak saye mlm tu..::

::seperti tahun lepas, kami tidak berpeluang utk menonton hasil produksi house2 lain..jadi cukup utk saya katakan bahawa saya amat tidak sabar utk menonton rakaman oleh RC yg bakal diperoleh hari rabu nnt..::

::saat keputusan diumumkan, macam2 perasaan ada..takut mostly..tp alhamdulillah kami berjaya menggondol empat hadiah..best technical, best supporting actor, best supporting actress and best coreography...kudos to those yg menang!!..pada malam tu, disaksikan sekali lagi Topaz menggondol hadiah utama : best drama..ironi kan??..semua hamper yg diberi adalah dalam bahasa inggeris..ayy,btol ke bangsawan ni?...ok2..balik semula..mule2 tu, mmg terkedu..tipula kalau saye ckp saye x meletakkan harapan utk sapphire mng best drama..tp apakan daya,sudah itu rezki kami..utk Topaz,tahniah!!..mari cheer bersama!!

::k la, da pjg gle kot post nih...to Sapphireans,walaupun kite tak mng, nasihat saya, jgnla kite berdengki ngan mereka yg lain..bak kate aainaa, redha dgn ape jua keputusan..walaupun kite tak menang, saye ttp berpuas hati..kenapa??..ramai yg masih igt ttg pementasan kita..masih ada yg mengulangi punchline2 dari drama kita..masih ramai yg meniru gaya perbualan mak lenggang..masih ade yg berkata ttg proses 'pembatuan' kapal, tenggang dan puteri..bukankah itu satu petanda yg baik??...sape kate kite x menang??..bagi sy, kite telah memenangi hati penonton, dan itu penting...akhir kate, THANX A BUNCH to those who have helped throughout the production of Bicara Takdir Berbisa..directors, casts, props, backdrops, kompang, dancers, fighters, etc..we've worked our asses off..tears, yells, laughters, hatred and another 10001 emotions only cannot describe our journey to the D-DAY..without u guys, it wouldn't b a success..korg mmg da bomb!!!...::

::Sapphireans are simply AWESOME!!...::
