Preparations for EASTER NITE …
I realize that not a day passes by without me speaking of EASTER NITE to either my friends/e-mailing someone about it/ or discussing in great lengths with Robz. Hence, to ‘release stress’ , I figured it might be a better idea to pen it all down in ‘ere instead of bugging all my dear ones’ lives with these li’l stories on 
a day-2-day basis ! OK. To those of you who haven’t a clue on what I’m talkin’ ’bout , here it goes:- ( again!) The church I go to, St Peter’s in Bangsar is organizing a mega-concert ON Easter Day called ARISE & SHINE EASTER NITE.By de way, Easter’s on 16th April. Most of my Christian friends/relatives seem to have plans for that day. However, there are lots of people who haven’t had plans on that day, at least not so far….so if you haven’t got anythin’ else to do, at least CONSIDER comin’ to this event, will ya?
Past bulletins would’ve given you guys a clue that I’m kinda extensively involved in this project. Firstly, let me remind you that tickets are sold at RM 50 per person. Just before you dismiss the thought of comin’ because you think itz a bomb to pay, here’s a few reasons that may make you change your mind :-
1) De food ……..cuisine for de nite will be in ’set-dinner’ style with everyone seated neatly in their respected seats whilst a huge dome with a variety of dishes are arranged on de table. As my friend Shangeetha and I made a count, for vegetarian guests, there are FOUR dishes to choose out of the total number of dishes! Here’s de menu : Briyani Rice, Lamb Chops with salad & dressing, chicken vindaloo, mutton peratal, vegetable kurma, mixed vegetables with fresh prawns, fruits acar . Dessert : paal payasam!! . Drink : Root beer . :-) . That mouth-watering set of Indian delicacies is definitely value-4-money…wouldn’t you agree with me? *winks
2) De MCs……..hehe…..being the utterly vain person I am, yes yes yes! I’m 50% of de MC group. Ok. That sounded very complicated. Robz and I will be the MCs for de nite.
3) Nalli’s Saree House……ahhh, this is the exciting part. Remember some weeks ago, i posted a bulletin askin’ u guys ’bout sponsorships for clothes for our fashion show event? Guess what folks? We’ve got Nalli’s !!! 2-3 days ago, I collected all our ‘models’ outfits and they’re absolutely gorgeous! Actually our ‘models’ haven’t got a chance to see/try on these outfits. Nalli’s owner’s wife personally selected each outfit based on my description of our ‘models’ !
Tonight, I will be bringing these outfits to church for ‘em to try it on! I bet they’re gonna love the colours, texture,design of each outfit. Ahhh…can’t wait to see the expression on their faces!
4) Excellent music soundtrack………firstly, it ain’t original……of course we compiled our personalized set of musics from all over de world! Our opening introduction for de sound&lite performance is simply spectacular. Don’t miss de musical we’ve added in for our food presentation event! The beauty of this is that the music for each and every event throughout this show has been meticulously selected by our AV Team which has some of the finest people to work with! We even have a background music for our lucky draw event so that the guests are never bored with utter silence in de background!
5) De kids…..ooooh, guess what they’re dancing to? MACARENA! Yep yep yep….just today, I managed to get a set of clothings, thanks to Aunt Inbam. Aunt Inbam runs a kindergarten and was kind enough to lend us some of her baju. I mean, some of de baju from her kindergarten. They’re so beautiful and striking ‘coz they have pretty vests and they even come with head-bands! Oh yeah, the kids haven’t seen their ‘baju’ and tonight, they will !
6) Hot funky dances……….our youths have years and years of experience of dancing to hot ‘rancak’ songs and these include clips from well-known Tamil movies such as Sivakaasi, Mambo No. 5, etc!
7) Decorations…..we’ve even paid very detailed attention to each corner of de hall so as to make it look like a hotel ballroom on that night! Hmmmm….actually, considering that huge COST-factor in mind, itz kinda difficult to convert the entire hall into a HOTEL ballroom…..but, we’re almost there! We even have a theme colour for de nite…..not gonna let out that secret in ‘ere!
Ahhh…once I have more stories to ‘tell ‘ ’bout Easter Nite, will write more in ‘ere. In my next blog, there’ll be stories on : -
i) de reactions of our ‘models’ upon receiving each outfit
ii ) whether de kids liked their sequined baju or not
iii) how tonight’s rehearsal turns out to be…
Thatz all for now. For all you close friends/cousins out there who have been patiently listenin’ to all my EASTER NITE stories, thanks a million! I know that you’ve just been too polite to tell me ‘ Alrite alrite Julie…..enough about your concert story! U’re boring me to death!!". At least now I have a new ‘horizon to vent out my stress/excitement on this concert’ = my blog!
Have a greattt w’kend folks. God Bless.
