Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra

Kumpulan Wayang Kulit Anak Seri Baju Merah

just feel like blogging about one MPO concert which i attended 2 weeks ago, on 2nd September, Sunday...!

FYI.. this is not just a normal orchestra concert but a combination of western style orchestra and the most symbolic Malaysian art.. the Wayang Kulit. Can you imagine?

well, this is my 1st visit to MPO concert and also the first time watching wayang kulit as well as 1st time wearing a semi formal dress and 1st time drive to KLCC (with my dad beside, of cuz). haha.. so many 1st time..

anyway, went to the concert with Chooi Fei, her brother, mother and another friend.. thought want to call Foong Wai, Hooi Ling, Grey.. but all.. aih.. Foong Wai and Grey busy.. u know la.. these super clever people sure will super busy geh.. haha.. and Hooi Ling.. what else? beside not really have interest.. want to save money.. ok lo... no paksa paksa here...

ok, back to the concert..

at first we couldn't really find our sections.. orchestra hall, is divided into many sections and there are doors which lead you to your sections.. and we, as 1st timers.. haha.. walk here walk there.. everyone looking at us adi.. anyway, at last Chooi Fei mom went to ask people.. then we succesfully found our seats..

then, seat and wait for the concert... very excited adi.. kinda know what to expect as i have been to the Istana Budaya for a Beethoven's concert last time..

there's a big big screen at the stage.. for the wayang kulit performance..

then the Kumpulan Wayang Kulit Anak Seri Baju Merah came out onto the stage and take their place behind the screen, and then lights off, and they started to play some of their music with their traditional instruments... after about 6-8minutes, lights on again and a speaker walk out.. music stop.. he started to talk about the Kumpulan Wayang Kulit Anak Seri Baju Merah.. and then, the MPO started to walk out to the stage... violin.. viola.. cello... double bass... trumpets.. trombone.. percussionist... flute... tuba... etc.. then.. conductor.. Matthias Bamert..

ok, the real show begun...

wayang kulit perfomance start.. is about Empunya yang beroleh Sita Dewi... the MPO starts their music and combine with the wayang kulit traditional music.. wow.. i must say.. great..

the orchestra music combine so well with the traditional instruments that you could not really find the differences.. wow.. speechless... i never thought that the western style of orchestra could be played in such way... really ear opening... the music is often soft.. and extremely high pitch.. i am so impress with the way the violinist play the violin.. so high pitch yet soooooo soft... wow.. incredible...

anyway, there is so much thing happening at once that make me kinda pening.. coz, the orchestra plays.. the wayang kulit plays.. the puppets plays... the tok dalang telling the stories...

i could not really pay attention to all... therefore, after looking at the wayng kulit's puppets shadows for a few minutes.. and trying to understand what the tok dalang is talking about.. i started to just look and listen to the music.. especially the violin... really interested...

to tell the truth.. i dun really understand those wayang kulit and what the tok dalang talks.. coz the language, yea, definitely malay.. but it's those traditional malay.. and in a sing song style.. so, really hard to listen.. the shadow of the puppets is interesting at the beginning as this is the 1st time.. but i soon lost interest.. i really prefer the orchestra more.. haha...

after about 40 minutes... wayang kulit performance end.. and we get a 20 minutes break so that the crew can clear up the stage so that the whole MPO will be able to get on stage (1st half oni part of the orchestra perform)

i really love the 2nd half... the whole MPO perform a few pieces.. really great.. it is so much joy listening to it.. wow.. u have to listen to it live to really get the emotions.. really big difference from listen to cd... the conductor even at the beginning of a piece give us some introductory of the song there will perform..

the conductor really emotional... he jump up and down when conducting.. wow.. super! the musicians hand flew up and down.. wow.. crazy... how i wish to be part of them!!!

you guys should go too.. the tickets not really expansive.. less than hundreds.. even cheaper for students... yea yea!!! even just think about it make me feel soooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!

(oops... long long post... thanks for having the patient to read it... and i broke my record for having the longest post ever... !!! haha)

2 weeks gone...

2 weeks pass by... 2 more weeks...

hmm... amused myself by lazing around each day.. wat a waste of time... really feel lik should do something... but.. kaka.. just feel lazy...

the most is.. playing the piano or violin.. if not.. watch tv.. and of coz! eat!

urgh.. feel so guilty.. but.. u know la... it's holiday...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just to pass some time.. bunch of weird quizzes.. haha.

me???

classic anime

just watch some old anime tat day... and watching it makes me think of things...

well, u know, when we are in primary.. about 1994.. those times, tv, especially ntv7 often hav those cartoons.. lik dragon ball.. sailormoon... i never miss those actually.. and i really love it at tat time... i even collected the goodies.. haha... [flash back] saw some glitter cards.. went crazy and keep buying those.. have over few hundreds.. haha.. still have it now.. of coz.. now not crazy anymore..

anyone of u ever watch sailormoon?

i know.. everyone i know, say tat sailormoon is childish.. babyishh.. and those stuff.. and i hav to admmit.. it is in some way.. but, anime fans say tat it is a classic anime... u might be interested to read more about it in wikipedia...


i admit tat it kinda annoying during the senshi transformations and those stuff which are often repeated each chapters.. haha... those are really childish...

but, what i am interested is the storyline and messages in/behind the whole series...

from the first season, usagi, a cry baby which was not at all mature till the last 5th and last season, usagi who did not cry easily and often act ladylike... she cares about the people around her, and was willing to do anything or scarifice for the sake of her love one.. this is quite a good story line already... and then, for romance.. her love for mamoru... never ceased from the 1st season till end... although mamoru in my opinion actually did not really help her.. haha.. coz most of the time is the opposite.. it's true tat during emergency, he will appear and throw a red rose to help her.. but during the most critical time, like the 1st season, he was controlled by the enemy and instead turn his back on usagi and fight her, which makes her very sad but still willing to help him to recover his memories no matter what he did to her.. later in the last season, at the begginning, he was also been control by the enemy and ignore usagi, which makes her soooo worried and sad.. and then, after clear, he went abroad for studies and did not correspond with usagi.. until they found out that he had been capture by the enemy.. (wow..)see wat i mean? i looks lik mamoru had given usagi such a hard times.. haha...

the whole anime hav 5 season and it actually show the grow of usagi from a child into a elegant lady.. and also the progress of her power from zero to infinity.. this anime might not be the best but it must be one of the greatest.. coz, although not many people really love it, it was known world wide.. i am sure u know it, although u did not watch or love it.. haha

besides, this series, also teaches us to be together.. instead of alone, get wat i mean? all of them were not strong when they act alone, instead, they became the strongest when act together... therefore, we should never underestimate our frens.. as, even their support will help u through the hardest time..

and, usagi is a real and true fren.. she makes fren wif everyone, no matter who.. even those enemy, and change the enemy to become her fren.. great isn;t it? who doesn;t wan to be lik tat? she is often cheerful and happy.. never really worried about anything.. therefore, she makes frens easily.. she does not lik to be alone, but will rather be alone when she knows she will drag others into trouble.. (of coz, her frens wouldn;t leave her alone..) they are soooo unselfish.. and really care for their frens.. (it;s everyone dreams to hav frens lik this... )


anyway.. the storyline sure isn;t tat bad.. and FYI i did not watch much anime.. therefore, i could not compare.. and i am sure there are thoudsand of other anime which were more great that this.. haha... just feel lik blogging something about my childhood fantasie.. haha... nowadays, never hear anyone who talks about it adi.. haha.. when i speak of it, they say baby.. oh dear.. haha.. anyway... it's just one of the thoudsand anime.. haha...
