Oh, What An Experience!

I just got back from Kuwait last night.. went there on Thurs.. I was attending the Performing Arts Workshop.

and yes.. no words can describe HOW AMAZING IT WAS!!

i made new friends.. learned new things..

I attended the Choral Workshop.

Basically.. I learned to sing in a choir! And discovered that im an Alto singer. an alto singer is someone who sings lower than Soprano singers.

Vocal warmups are soo fun!! the choral workshop group was taught by an opera singer.. so she teaches us how to do vocal warmups and how to reach the right notes etc.

The person who teaches the choir the songs is a male teacher and hes realy fun!

we sang about 4 songs.. Streets Of London, Fame, Jambo Buana and a song of his own composition..

We only have a day to prepare 4 songs.. because we have to perform them the next day.

and wow.. it sounds amazing! i cant believe.. after 8 hours of work.. we can achieve such thing! the choir sounded as if we were practising for a month or smt.

Some other ppl did Dance workshops - where they learn choreographed routines for JLo's Do It Well single..

Some attended Tech workshops - where they control the lightings and sound system for the overall concert

Some attended Drama workshops - acting and stuff

And Some attended.. Fashion workshops - designed their own outfit in just 8 HOURS and they were able to strike a fashion show in the morning! AMAZING.

Where did i stay??

I stayed with a host family! It was an american family... Well, it wasnt just me alone staying with them.. asti and poppy were with me.

OHH MY GOODNESS.

we were treated like a PRINCESS.

we get fresh new towels everytime after a shower.

we got our uniform ironed IMMEDIATELY after it came out from the dryer. (my mum irons it like a day after she took it from the dryer -_-")

i was using a blow up bed and it got deflated in the morning *blushes* so. they bought me a matress! so for the second night, i was sleeping on a brand new matress (h)

we had FRESHLY BAKED CROISSANTS for breakfast in the morning.

we had dinner ordered from the hotel serving chinese cuisine and got it delivered by the host's driver.

we had maids helping us to pack our stuffs.

OH MY GOODNESS.

we had a driver that made sure we have a bottle of mineral water with us before we leave the house.

we were SPOILT BRATS FOR A DAY.

and our hostess.. Sofia was soooooo lovely!! shes just in yr 7 and she acts so mature.. and so caring!!

and oh my goodness. she can dance SOO WELL. it freaks me out. an 11 yr old can dance that well!

her mum.. omg.. she cared too much LOL. she kept checkin up on us until she knows that we're asleep. shes against fast foood so thats why she offered to order food after we come back from the workshop.

IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE!too much too tell.....
