Funky Socks goes to Penang!

Penang was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went there for only 2 days, 1 night and it was fun fun fun!

Ottey, before I post more happy moments and pictures, let me tell you what happen 1 month before the show. I want to end this post with happy thoughts…

When the client called a month before the show, I quickly start choreographing and teaching in one week because Reason no. 1: I got 3 new dancers so I don’t really want to rush them. They have not experienced Funky Socks’ extremely last minute rehearsals. Reason no. 2: I’ve got exams the week before the show. But in the end, I spoke to my mam and decided not to take it since I’m shifting to ASK. Reason no. 3: Hell lots of Switch shows!!!

So I bought and made all the costumes for that specific show in a week and a half and one fine day 2 weeks before the show while we were showing the client (TM Net) our routines in Cyberjaya, they rejected our opening dance because apparently the song is too TV3.

Fuuuuuhhhhh…

So due to our busy schedule, I had to re-choreograph and teach in a week. Then, they asked what we’re wearing, blablablablabla, and they’re fine with our costumes but they are not fine with the colours. TM Net’s corporate colour is orange, white and blue. In the end, I had to buy and make the costumes all over again!

Baaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!

So ok, demanding clients is a natural thing. I’ve learned one lesson out of this. It is a must to ask the client about their corporate colours and make sure they know what song we’re doing.

Picture time!

Erm...

Fiona, Ashley, Aina and Jess

The Client

We look so orange!

The end of the day, we put a big smile on the client’s faces and they told us they might put us in every road show they’re doing until November. The road shows will be in Kuantan, Ipoh, The Curve, Johor Bahru, Sabah, Sarawak and Sunway Pyramid. Yay!

I’m trying to figure out how to put the video of the show in here. That’ll take awhile. So hold up.
