Your design has to be on an A4 piece of paper. Of course it has to symbolise MAG lah. Not only nira or whoever. MAG as a whole...okay?Make sure you try your design on both black and white backgrounds. As in...on a black background and on a white background. Not black & white background.haha!okay whatever liyana~

If you want to use colours in your design, you can only use a maximum of 2 colours.

Okay, so you have to submit your designs to either ME or HIDD by 30th APRIL 2008.
You can submit as many designs as you want.

Relevant Updates

Naik lemak eh koraannnnggggg....

Thursday training pon 5 orang ajer. PIKIR KELAKAR KE APER!?

Cmon girls, we are having a major performance. It's a BIG deal. If you think it is just another dikir barat set, WRONG. Kalau korang tak tau what the hell the performance is about, SAPE SURO TAK DATANG TRAINING?!

COME FOR TRAINING GIRLS!. I made the effort to mass SMS EVERYONE of you so the least you could do is turn up. If you don't, TELL.

Other than that, a few dates to take note of:
13th March - Training at HomeTeamNS-JOM with Artistic Director, Alex (4-6pm)
17th March - 2nd training at HomeTeamNS-JOM with Artistic Director, Alex (3-5pm)
22nd March - Full run rehearsal at HomeTeamNS-JOM (4-6pm)
24th March - Technical rehearsal at Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel (Denise Keller is the host yaw!) (12pm- approx. 7pm)
25th March - ACTUAL DAY (noon til approx. 10pm)

Alex is the Artistic Director for this event. He is from Artistix Productions so we will be working closely with him to get the performance done.

Tak tau kan HomeTeamNS-JOM kat maner? Tidak mengapa. We will have a meeting point prolly at Toa Payoh Interchange and take a bus there. So no worries. And notice that I've chosen time slots that are in the evening so that korang takkan complain balik lambat because the HomeTeamNS-JOM is at Balestier.

Please girls, this is MAJOR. I don't want external people to see from NIRA just 5 girls there, tgh duduk, baring, tiarap, main PSP, tak buat pape. I want to see almost full strength from now onwards til performance day okay.

SEE YA!

Maner korang pegi eh?

First training- Attendance poor.

5 orang ajer eh.

Maner la korang2 ni somer pegi.

Tapi tkpe.. 1st training kan? Saya lenient sikit. Ader yang kerje, ader yang dah ader plans. Ader yang tak tau maner.

So trainings would be every Tuesday and Thursday, starting at 6pm. Why 6pm? Jadi korang boleh joli-joli early in the day. Holiday mah. Takpe takpe.

So for those who don't know yet..

We have an upcoming performance on the 25th March. It's a performance for the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) Education Awards. (Kalau tak tau aper, go Google it) It would be at Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel. It's quite a "prestigious" event I must say so it's good exposure for you girls.

We have less than a month away from the performance. It might be the re-used set (Read: International Cultural Night) but then again, korang confirm2 dah karat kan with all the tepuk2 and the screaming, so gear yourselves up okay.

So cross out Tuesdays and Thursday, 6-9pm on your calendars. See you girls next training.

Saya rinduu....

Hello darlings.

Exams dah abis. Dah takde project. Dah takde assignment. Stress pon dah abis.

Holiday sudah mari.

Enjoyy aahhh!! haha.

Rindu I tak? Rindu I tak?
Rindu kaann........ I tau.

Anyways... I pon rindu you all jugak.

So untuk lepaskan rindu, kita akan mulakan training pada minggu ni.

Selasa, 4th March 2008
Jam 6ptg sampai 9mlm

Datang okay. We've got lots of catching up to do and all you girls need to know what is installed for Nira this holidays. So come come come. I rindu sama you all. See you there!

CONGRATULATIONS NIRA NYERTIKA!!!

Alhamdulillah....
Berkat kerja keras kami. Walaupun ader la hiccups here and there.. tapi tu somer pon dah abiss..

When I touched down Jakarta, dah on hp... dapat mesej dari akak Lela kiter..

"Kiter menang PAKAIAN TERBAIK OR WHAAAATT!!"

Kiter dah dalam hati "Tak menang takpe. Janji jorjeous (gorgeous) on stage. LOL". So aku pun cepat2 la tepon ni akak Lela pakai hp mak kiter. (Maklomlah, hp kiter ni pakai prepaid. Dah tgl 61cent ajer. Seb baik auto-roam ader. At least ader up sikit.)

"Kiter menang pakaian terbaik?"
"Ak ah. And we won!"
"Wah, pakaian terbaik seyy!"
(Memandangkan Lela dgr kiter mcm tkde reaction gitu.. dier pon repeat la lagik. Lagipon kiter ni tak dgr aper Lela ckap)
"Naq, KITER MENANG!"
"Huh? APER?!" (biar betik?)
"KITER DAPAT PIALA SRIKANDI! WE WON!" (background voice of FISH "3 tahun siaakkk")
"HUH?! SERIOUS KE APER!!? KAU NAK BEDEKKAN AKU KAANN??!!"
(part ni suare kiter dah high pitch, kat dalam Jakarta airport, tgh carik luggage)
"SUMPAH AKU TAK BEDEK!!!"

Kiter pon dah macam nak nangis time tu. Awww.. touching ke aper. Tak ku sangka seyy.. Seriously, tak sangka punyeerrrr...

Kiter pon dgn hati yang dah excited nak mampos, blg ah nenek dgn mak kiter. Tak lei angkat tau. Dah holiday kat Jakarta, aper lagi.. berseronok ah!

Tahniah Nira.
Segala kerja keras dan "sacrifices" yang dah dilakukan semuanya berbaloi.
(Aku luper sacrifice dalam bahasa mayoo aper. heh.)
Alhamdulillah.. Syukur
Sekarang korang2 somer boleh enjoy the "fruits of your labour".
Dah tak yah nak amik kunci kat sports hall dari budak PC (perangai Sai).
Dah tak yah nak mengigau, tepuk2 tangan buat ragam sewaktu tidur (perangai Fish).
Dah tak yah nak siram2 pokok sendirian (perangai Liyana).
Dah tak yah nak terkinja-kinja dengan kepak2 (perangai Caca).
Dah tak yah nak me-laku-kan perjualan mak Caca dengan mee maggi goreng nya (perangai SOOOMEERR)
Dah tak yah nak jalan straight line cam choo choo train nak pegi makan (perangai SOOMEERRR jugak)
Dah tak yah nak terjerit2 cam org tak siuman di bawah bridge(perangai awok2 dan juara)
Dah tak yah nak tengok gong stand jatuh 2 kali (tak nak sebut ah. lol)
Dah tak yah nak nangis2 lagi mcm budak2 emo (perangai SOMER yang sesuai dalam kategori ini)

Dan macam-macam "tak yah" lagik....

Korang enjoy2 la puas2 sebab 1 minggu holiday korang dah terpakai untuk Khatu. Selagi holiday ada, pergi enjoy eh.

Balak Khatu pon dah over. Apa lagi.. enjooooyyyyy...!!!

Mau pah outing?! 30th December? Picnic? Makan malam? Bermandi-manda di pantai? Response ASAP!

Syukur! =)

Hello girls! Alhamdulillah, kita dapat Piala Srikandi untuk tiga tahun berturut-turut. And pakaian terbaik keper.... heheh..




I dunno what else to say because I think what needs to be said has already been said on the night before the competition itself... =)

But thank you all... No matter how big or small your sacrifices for Nira is, you've all done your part. Thank you!






Now, read the verse of the wau bulan... You know what it means.. If we stay together, we can continue to bloom. Insya Allah....

Muahs~

Persediaan untuk Piala Khatulistiwa 2007

Aku rasa, mesti korang2 somer busy dengan...

Projects
Assignments
Presentations
Revisions
Tests
Quizzes

It's the last week of the term. Aku paham betapa busy nye korang sampai takde masa utk diri sendiri. Kesiaaaaaaannnnnn.....

Tapi kener ingat, we have to prepare for Piala Khatulistiwa 2007. Your names have been submitted and we are to start training ASAP. Aku paham korang nak belajar and all that, tapi we have to remember we have alot of brushing up to do for the competition. And when I say ALOT.. I really mean REALLY ALOT.

Aku nak korang punye co-operation yang sepenuh-penuhnye. Take trainings as a stress reliever from your school work. Seek understanding from your parents just for this month. Aku tau word "dikir" ni dah macam damned gitu. But please ah, kita kener belajar how to compromise.

So, for this week, trainings are on 4th and 6th December 2007, Tuesday and Thursday. For term test week, by Friday, 14th December 2007, or maybe Thursday, 13th December 2007, most of you would be done with most of your papers.

So for term test week, trainings would be on Thursday and Friday. If need be, we would have training on Saturday, 15th December 2007.

After the term test week,which is 17th - 22nd December, training would be EVERYDAY! That is already the Khatu week.Training would start at 12pm and will end around 8pm. Don't worry, we will have lunch together and such so don't get too stressed up just by looking at the times. We are losing out one day that is Hari Raya Haji which is on the 20th December(kambing punye pasal). So I want productive trainings before Khatulistiwa week itself.

Aku tau it's gonna be one hell of a week. Tapi seriously, attendance has been fucked up and I've been giving face for way too long. I do not want anyone not turning up for trainings unless you really come up with a good reason to excuse yourself from training. Don't assume I don't know things so please eh korang.. selagi korang takde alasan untuk bilang/"tipu" aku, aku nak korang attend trainings.

For trainings, wear comfortable attire because we will have physical trainings. So prepare for that.

With that, take note of the dates and I will see you girls in training. Let's strive for Piala Khatulistiwa! WOOHOO!

Piala Raja Dikir 2007

Di manakah puspa yang ku impi?
Di mana niranya manis sekali...
Berputiklah ahai indah berseri
Mekarlah jambangan harum tak terperi

Congrats to Fid, Yat, Im and Achok for their individual schools :)

So let's take this song as a motivation for us girls to do the very best for the upcoming Piala Khatulistiwa 2007. NIRA BOLEEEHHH!!!

Sekarang aku tunjuk emosi....

Satu detik,
Satu tika,
Satu tanda tanya...

Di manakah puspa yang ku impi?
Di mana niranya manis sekali...
Berputiklah ahai indah berseri
Mekarlah jambangan harum tak terperi

Lembut berkembang gubahan mayang
Sama sehayun asyiknya lenggang
Ribuan warna mengutus riang
Harap menjenguk, air mata bergenang

Konon tebal selaput dalam naluri
Benih disemai putik menanti
Detik, waktu berganti hari
Pucuk meninggi menunduk sepi

Maka terciptalah

satu luahan,

satu gubahan...

Satu kumpulan...

Eh... ni dah kenapa ni?

Nak berpuitis pulak...

Maaf... Aku start balik...

Aku bingit!

Mana-mana aku pergi, mesti ada halangan...

Mana aku pusing mesti ada tembok...

Mana aku toleh mesti ada lahabau yang ketawakan aku, ejek aku dengan lidah terjelir, "Kau tak akan sampai... Kau tak boleh... Tak boleh... Tak boleh...!!!"

6 bulan lepas... Aku rasa gini...

"Ohh.. I mailed to him the instructors form..."

"Ohh.. We'll talk about it..."

"Ohh.. Don't worry..."

"Huh? Did I say what I said? Since when did I promise?"

Tak cukup? Meh kita sambung lagi.

"Huh? Nak buat apa?"

"Huh? Nak tanya siapa?"

"Huh? Nak apa?"

"Huh?"

".........................................."

AKU BINGIT!

Aku nak...

a. Angkat kaki jalan...

b. Ikutkan membabi buta...

c. Bunuh orang...

d. Bunuh diri...

"Macam mana kau gilap macam kera nak kopek kwaci pun, boleh ke permata tu sinar?"

"Biarkan... Tengok... Sokong... Senyum..."

Aku tunggu... Aku sabar... Aku buat lirik... Yang pat atas tu.

Macam-macam rintangan datang. Aku diam.

Macam-macam masalah melawat. Aku nasihat.

Macam-macam hal ceroboh. Aku sabar.

Korang sabar.

Korang tabah.

Korang cuba.

Aku tengok.

Akhirnya, PENTAS RAHSIA.

................ Senyum.

You shouldn't thank me.

You are the stars of your own creation.

You can now walk.

You've grown.

You now track your own footsteps in the sand.

You can now leave your trail of legacy.

Me?

I've sticked to my promise.

I've changed people's perception.

I've 1 more promise to go...

Then... It's time for you to make your own promise.

To stick to it.

I'm sorry.

Ain - My heart broke when I read the end of your entry. Touched. But it seems that I've let you down. You know what? Maybe, it meant that maybe, one day, it'll be me playing to your lyrics instead.

Lela - You have always been a dear to me. You dedication is examplary. Your loyalty is true. You should be the one tracking the first few steps, for the girls to follow.

Fish - You are my silent worker. No complains. No sighs. Nothing. You just do your job and never give-up. You are my motivation. And you should be theirs too.

Naq, Saihah - Leaders in my eyes. You will succeed. You will. Trust me.

Liyana - You are next.

Nira - You make me whole.

Every beginning has an end.

This is the end of my post.

Dear readers, thank your for your messages.. Sorry kalau terlambat reply... Maklumlah, kita semua busy dengan hal-hal Nira dan hal-hal sendiri dan yang sewaktu dengannya...

Ok here goes:

Message = you guys were great during pentas... I am really proud of you guys. I was so proud of you guys, that my eyes was filled with tears... That was a brilliant performance. The BEST, in fact... Too bad for me, i couldn't perform with you... I know... Its quite difficult being in design school, having major projects and stuff and things like this... worse when they clash... I have that passion to perform with you guys... but to tell you guys the truth... i can't let that part of me shine through... I just can't... Maybe, because of my lack of confidence, I find it hard to continue... I'll find a way to shine, and when that day comes, i'll shine with you... Love you guys... :'D

Thank you putri... You may not be able to perform with us for pentas but there's always other shows... You're always welcomed. Don't be shy, we're all here to support each other! =)

Let's come back down to reality

So everyone is still on a hangover after Pentas.

Now now... let's get back to business....

We have 3 other performances to get ready for.....

• Inter-cultural Night - 22nd Nov 2007
• Laini's sis wedding - 2nd Dec 2007
• Piala Khatulistiwa 2007 - 22nd Dec 2007

I understand you girls are really really tired from all those training and rehearsals of Pentas but I'm sure we can do it. Everyone has their projects, assignments and what nots but we've got to persevere thru this ok?

So do attend rehearsal for the ICN performance on Monday, 19 Nov 2007. Meet at Koi Pond at 6pm. If possible.. come earlier ok? :)

PENTAS hangover.. lol.

here are some of the pics!






















it was fun performing with you guys! for those yang takde dengan kita pada hari tu, it's ok, more shows to come... =)

thank you EVERYONE!!!!

all the pics will be updated a nira's multiply SOON. Insya Allah! please be patient!

This is just the beginning for you.

It's finally over and done with. Unlike past years, this time, I didnt have much thinking to do. But more of worry. Worry the girls might screw up, worry the audience won't be entertained, worry the show did not work well.Everyone's got their own worries. But the girls pulled thru.

This is not a speech to anyone. Not even a speech to shed tears for. True, Fid, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.And for that, for what I've gone thru with Nira, definitely has made me stronger than before.

Applause received with many thanks to audience who still believe in Nira, whose support is very much appreciated.For those, who came, the alumnis of Nira whom I didnt get to meet, I missed you girls. I missed performing with you girls.If only we could make it for Khatu later this year..But i'll be joining you girls soon. Very soon. As soon as Khatu starts. I'll be sitting and watching for surprises from Nira. And if I do shed any tear, I hope it'll be tear of reminiscence and happiness.

Where burden was felt by me alone, now I'm seeing them sharing the load I used to carry. And I'll assure myself that you girls will make me proud for, now, you know that you can stand on your own feet. Kudos to you Naq n Sai. And all those that has helped. I am not great, mistakes made and learnt from. And I what want for this Nira, is to be better than previous times. Grow from your mistakes.

I've come all the way, not to see you girls falling down and crying hard of regrets. Because you girls are fresh start. And because the time when Nira was only a smoke break for fellow performers, has ended.

My hopes for you girls this Khatu, make me sitting down there proud of you; proud that I was there performing and now you girls will too. Its never about winning. And do not feel pressured by your fellow competitors, because they are just like you, to learn from mistakes made.

Ingat kawan2, usah diikut resmi jagung...

My only regret is that I could not perform for a set written by Fid.



"Biarlah harum jambangan Puspa, natijahnya manis, semanisnya Nira"

thank you

Firstly, I would like to congratulate all of you guys for the wonderful performance.. You pple were great.. CACA and LIYANA stole the limelight.. it was a very fun night for me.. and i am so sorry to fid, achiok and im and the rest for letting u guys down as i haven been playing my role as an R&D team.. i noe i haven been there for nira as much.. not going down for trngs often and ever so often halfway i would just walk out to join my trng at titisan..

but the one week of trng was made to good use.. u guys made me feel welcome once again.. and i feel guilty for that.. thank you fish, nana and roosh fr teaching me the ragams.. shiet! im tearing while typing this..

but my fun time wid nira and titisan has come to a stop. it was a really memorable experience this whole 2 years spent wid nira.. it wasnt my choice to leave cz its my passion to perform.. bt coming frm a family who isnt into performing arts.. i find it difficult to reason to my parents.. and even if i did.. they still think it was a waste of time..

it was a deal i had to make.. i cant deny dat i was tearing yesterday wen fid said next show will be khatu and we will practice hard fr it.. as much as i wana be part of it again i cant.. it was a great pleasure to perform wid u guys.. and im so sorry if i had hurt anyone..

thank you once again NIRA, FID, ACHIOK and IM.. the memories wid u guys will always be in my heart.. never will i once forget u guys..

my fun time performing has come to an end. but my passion for performing will never end.

WE-GALLOP

Kalau hari2 buat gini, tak lama lagi, aku jadi se-lim.

school's starting soon..

Assalammualaikum Wr Wb.

Hello lovelies! Memandangkan school holiday pon dah abis, it's time to get your ass down to trainings and drill the shiet out of you.

Ok tu brutal. Haha!

The School term is going to start soon and it's time that we put into priority our upcoming performances. We are like waaaayyyyy behind schedule so please we need everyone's co-operation. Nira is not about one. It's about ALL.

It isn't fair for the those who have sacrificed time and energy to come down trainings during the holidays. I get it that everyone has commitments. Still we have to bring ourselves down and not just please our own self without thinking of others.

So please girls, I hope WANT to see almost full strength for every trainings, if possible insyallah, for the start of the new semester.

See ya in trainings and good luck for the new semester.

Selamat Hari Raya!!

Wahai peminat diseluruh dunia (citrawarna)

Maruah kita tetap dijaga (citrawarna)

Semoga kekal di puncak persada (citrawarna)

Ini lah sumpah kami semua

Membakar semangat kukuh terbela

Kepada tuhan kami berdoa (citrawarna)

Semoga selamat terus dijaga (citrawarna)

Jangan dibiar rosak terluka

Hancurlah nanti warisan bangsa

Harapan kami pada semua (citrawarna)

Jadikan ini satu lagenda (citrawarna)

Training dates

I've just noticed that the schedule starts from October onwards.

Bare in mind that training starts NEXT WEEK and that would be 25th September 2007, 2-5pm. I'm being informed about the design students still having school. I understand you still have lessons going on. Don't worry. Just make yourself present for training if you have a break between classes or something. The least is that you are informed of any progress made during training and your attendance are noted of.

So I repeat again...

THERE WILL BE TRAINING NEXT WEEK.

25th September & 27th September 2007

2-5pm

Meet at the Koi Pond

See you girls during trainings. ~

Oh and please, do inform me or any of the seniors if you can't attend training. Takkan tu pon nk blg jugak.

Training Dates

Hi Darlings, here are the tabled training schedule, discussed with Naq.
It's small, so just click to see an enlarged version.

I've printed and laminated pocket-size schedules for you girls.
I'll pass them to you when I see you okay!
Yes, it's pocket-sized, please keep it in your purse. It's like a 'tangkal'.

By the way, there's no Sunday in my calendar.
Cos it's time to REST and to condition yourself for yet another Mondaaay!
(Actually to save space! Hee)
So I see you girls then!
Remind me to pass the pocket-sized schedule okay.
I'm old and forgetful.

So for those who miss trainings,
hope this schedule will leave you SMILING all the way!


Lotsa Love,
Lela

URGENT MATTER

This post was lovingly posted by Lela, with inputs from Fish through the phone, during SIP, IN THE OFFICE, while Fish is done with hers -urgh- (and eating at home due to the monthly mess).

Girls, with regards to the entry on 13th Aug, it seems like we have alot of shows coming up, not to mention a comp. We seriously need training, WE know that we aren't HEBAT.

We are training for a comp, for an annual production and for a show. These are not just ordinary performances. People pay to watch us. Our predecessors have set a benchmark, if we can't beat it, at least maintain it.

As for Khatu, I (Lela) am disappointed to know that there were no representatives from Nira for the Taklimat. Are you girls even keen? Cos I am! I am! I am!

I (Fish) have posted the Taklimat date on August 10th. The Taklimat is on September 8th. I'm sure we have ample time to discuss who should go, but nothing was discussed.

Naq and Saihah, please kindly come up with the dates and times for trainings.
It has to start next week.
Both of us are here if you need assistance.

I (Lela) think we need to have training twice a week. Time is of the essence, darlings. Just a suggestion, for one day to be afternoon, and the other to be at night in case some of you can't make it for both sessions. Someone has to make a move. We can't wait for others, dangling on a string. This is just a suggestion, ultimately, SGH/ASGH are the ones who are suppose to say "yes".

I have people coming up to me asking, "When is training" Now, instead of waiting for miracle, I'm doing something, it's up to the rest to either move along, contribute inputs or just sit and stare at this screen.

One more thing, Naq/Sai, I (Lela) want a list of members, full details, name, contact number, e-mail and also an updated attendance sheet by Sunday. Revert to me if you can't meet the dateline. E-mail me, thanks.

Please note that the blog is here for a reason. Exams are over, everyone have a reason to not skip training, am I making sense?

Note: Do note that we HAVE someone who's willing to guide us for FREE. Unlike the times when there was only us both and Ain. If we want someone to help us, we must first help ourselves.
Thanks Fid for being there.
Thanks Ain for all the work you've done.

Wishing you a fruitful Ramadan.
Semoga amalan-amalan kami diterima Allah S.W.T.
Ameen.

so whats gonna happen?

Assalamalaikum kengkawans....

Seperti apa yang telah dikatakan di last training yang 2 minggu lalu, *untuk korang2 yang tak datang.. ni aku blg ni hah!*, training will resume after exams sebab aku tak nak distract korang of your studies and I want you girls to do well for the exams.

However the main question is....

Abe bulan puasa camne ni...?

Ahhh.. bulan puasa tetap ader training ye kengkawans. Why? Sebab kita dah kekurangan masa.

• Puasa - 13 September
• Hari Raya - 13 October? I think ah. One month maahh.
• Pentas - November.
• Laini's Sister's Wedding - December
• Piala Khatulistiwa - December

So.. korang realisekan berape sempitnya waktu. Thats why during puasa there would still be training. Training would not be after buka and it would only be once a week *i think*. It would either be 12-2pm or 3-5pm. So can I have your votes on what time is suitable and comfortable for you girls?

I'm making the decisions open to all of you because aku nak aderkan training where you girls would come down. If I were to decide on the training dates and times, abe korang tak datang, it would defeat the purpose altogether.

So it would be good if you can voice out your opinions. It's all about working together.

School would reopen somewhere in October but of course, a few days or like a week after Raya starts. So training would be as per normal then. During the Raya week, training TBC.

However, during Puasa, there would definitely be an iftar to discuss about what's up for Pentas basically. Me and some of the seniors would be planning this and I've planned it to take place on the 20th or 21st. So do make yourselves free ok. And again, this is TBC. I'll update you girls now and then.

So korang2 ni eehh.. pls pls pls come down training. Kita dah betol2 takde masa. If korang ade pape questions, just msn me, call me, sms me, email me. Whatever laa eh is easy for you. Anyways, I need to know when your exams end. So I would know which week we can start training.

Lastly, Good Luck for your exams. Do study hard. Jangan laaa korang fail. Seriously. Aku tak nak korang fail atau amik supp paper. So concentrate on your exams. Boyfriend boyfriend letak tepi dulu. Lepas exams baru bole.. Haha...!

Ok daaaaa~

Same time same place same channel.

Baju

Hi darlings, how have u been?
Hope all are fine.
Insyaallah.

It's been sometime since I see you. 3 weeks, but it feels like 3 million years. Ok before the Soap Opera starts, I'm here to break the news.
*kecepiaaaaang!*

MAG's budget isn't sufficient for us to make the baju.
So , mimpi je lah eh sayangs. I wish we could, then we don't have to rent every time, which ultimately costs more. Sigh. Nonetheless, at least we can tukar-tukar baju kanz?

trainings

Ok. So the competition is over. And the results are...

1st - Andika Kencana
2nd - Wahana Deksu *YAY!*
3rd - Keris

Congrats to WD!!!!!! Haha. It goes to shows that we girls also can do it and beat the guys ok.

Anyways.. training would resume tomorrow. I will explain to you girls about the upcoming training dates and what we are going to do tomorrow.

Same time, same place tomorrow. Do inform me if you can't come and help inform your fellow friends also about the training. Thanks.

updates..

As you all know, our show was cancelled. However, no show doesn't mean no training.

So training will still continue as we need to consistently be prepared for any upcoming shows. 3 confirmed events that we would be performing would be...

• Pentas (November)
• Piala Khatulistiwa 2007 (December)
• Laini's sister's wedding (December)

I guess we have to start changing our thoughts on preparation for shows especially. Kiter ni tak hebat. Bukannye boleh dapat set overnight. Belajar lagu in a few hours pon belom tentu.

So, it's better to be prepared rather then getting ready at the last minute.

Trainings would be EVERY THURSDAY at 6pm, studio 3. So hope all of you girls get the message. I don't want to have to remind everybody every week. So if you can't make it, please make the effort to tell me through a simple sms. If you can't get me, tell Saihah or Jaja or whoever that is coming. I think it's basic courtesy that all of you should know. OK? Aku tak marah laaaa.... aper seyy.... :)

See you girls in training ok.

Training for de nxt 2 wks

For those who came down to training, good. At least you know the song and some of the ragams. Kepade yang tak turon, knape eh?

For those who inform me, that's good. For those who don't, hmm.. im not sure why. Please girls. Make it a habit to inform me whether you are coming or not. So at least we won't be waiting for each other. Some of you did promise me you'd come down to training, but in the end you don't show up. Sedah tau i.... :) But anyways, next time, always inform me. Aku tak marah laa.. aku tak marah punye org. I'm a kind hearted person :)

Ok nevermind. School is going to start next week for all of us except for those design students, so training would be twice a week for the next two weeks. We have only 4 trainings left until the show. Please do come down to training. Don't make things hard for everyone.

We still have lots of things to do. We want to give people a good, entertaining show. I'm still working on a set with the R&D team. So sorry if I hold back our progress. I'm trying my best to get it done at least the "juara" part by next training.

See you in training!

Ok, I've set the training times for 19th and 21st June 2007 to be from 12 to 3. I'm sorry for those having SIP or those working during these times. But my decision has to accomodate to the majority. So I hope everyone understands. Anyway, it is only for one week because the training will start at the last week of the 2 week term break.



Subsequent practices when school reopens would be every Tuesday and Thursday. I promised that training would be once a week but due to our upcoming performance on the 7th July, I have to make practices twice a week. I hope I have everyone's co-operation about this ok.



So I want to see you girls in training. Gather at the koi pond if the studio is not open yet k lovelies.

This is your first public performance for the year girls, especially you freshies. Make this experience an enjoyable one and show what we've got.

Performance for NIRA..!!!

Assalammualaikum Wr Wb....

Announcement:

Nira Nyertika has taken up an invitation to perform at Serangoon JC. It's on Saturday, 7th July, 7.30 pm - 9.30pm. It's a concert by Paya Lebar Kovan Community Club.

I've asked Fid about it and he agreed to perform. So I guess it's abit too late to ask you girls to come down training next week. Lagipon akoo pegi holiday.. :x So we will start training on the 19th June 2007. Training would be twice a week because we only have 3 weeks before performance day.

Oh and I want to know your preference timing for trainings? For me, I prefer it to be somewhere in the afternoon so that you girls won't be home late. But I believe that some of you are working. So please inform me ASAP about your preferred timings so that I can get the rooms for our training ok?

This is the first public concert for Nira this year and I want all you girls to get the experience and exposure.

I will email all of you and also SMS ok. So please do keep yourself updated.

Student Ambassadors / 'Vacation' Trip

Hey girls, miss you darlings so much!
Anyways good luck for your term tests! Wish you all the best and may you obtain the grades that you deserve. Amin.

Ok, so I'm attached to Media Development Authority (MDA), doing Events. Now there's a big, big, BIG event coming up- BroadcastAsia, 17th to 22nd June. It's held at Singapore Expo. There are some that are held at other places, such as Red Dot Museum, Ritz Carlton etc but mainly, Expo.

Now, we need student volunteers aka ambassadors. I have contacted Pace Setters, thinking they would help, I mean, it's a good platform for our very own TP mates. Unfortunately, they can't provide me with students, as this is NOT a TP Event.

I was wondering, maybe you girls could be of a help here. We're sending MASS e-mails to NTU (done, alhamdullillah) and TP (I'm still chasing them for this!).

Now, I think it'd benefit you girls, it's not always that you have the opportunity to be PAs of some big shots. And I really mean BIG INTERNATIONAL SHOTS from Canada, France, etc who are key players in the media industry. So you're going to ride in a limo with them and whatnot. Personal Assistants ok! I can't promise you the world, but these are some possibilities. Mostly, we need ushers, directional assistants etc.

I thought this is something good. I'm not saying this because I need your help. It's just that, if you girls are interestred, we can go for a "vacation" do things like this together. And this will be something to reminisce about! Besides gaining experience and exposure, we can bond. At least, there's a common topic for us to talk about during mingling/break sessions.

Hopefully your termtests will be over by then and I'm praying that it's the term break. It is right? 17th - 22nd June

I won't lay the explicit details here. Go to my blog, I'll provide you with the neccessary details. I really think this will be a good and enriching experience. Ok, this is so advertising for MDA. Please consider. Well, if you have nothing to do, this is a healthy activity besides Dikiring!

Lotsa Love,
