Galatine Candy

Just finished the first show of "Man of Letters". Today is the opening show of MOL and the show was specially set aside for NUS students and staffs. Heard there was more than 1000 tickets given out free for the NUS community.

Anyway, the show was fabulous! I really like the feel of being live. During our rehearsal, because there was no audience, so whenever there is funny part of the show, not much response from audience so can't really feel great with the funny element. However, today with all the audience (full house in UCC Hall), the feel is totally different...you can feel those funny part even funnier....great!!

Here is another little story during the full run this afternoon:

Karyn, one of my 2nd violin section players brought us some candy and pass it around 1st and 2nd violin. Mr. Iskandar, our conductor also get to eat one.... the candy is Galatine ciocolatte

I was sitting together with Karyn at the most front row and conductor was just right infront of us. After the full run, Mr. IS (they all called him IS) stunned us...

IS : "Miss, you still got the sweet? very nice leh"
K : "oh...i gave out all already"
IS : "very nice leh...i like it....is it chocolate?"
me : " hmm....ya..think is white chocolate"
IS :" hmm....later eat liao get fat how? but i somehow getting more concentrated with music after eating that.."
me & K: " hmm...okay..(donno what to say)"
me: " she (pointing to Karyn) is going NTUC to buy some more tomorrow.."
IS :" Oh...NTUC har...okok...next time i must go find also.."
IS: " (looking at the sweet paper) what is this called? oh..Galatine...ok..next time i go find.."

After the show, Iskandar reminded Karyn:
IS :" tomorrow....the chocolate har...ok?!"

totally stunned.....so cartoon Mr. Iskandar
