Varekai! (warning: spoilers ahead!)

Varekai is a Cirque de Soleil touring production that premiered in Montreal in 2002. Its title means "wherever" in the Romani language, and the show is an "acrobatic tribute to the nomadic soul". The plot is based loosely on the Greek myth of Icarus.

Acts
Sound Machine
The Skywatcher entertains the audience and his fellow creatures with his invention, the "Sound Machine", and basically acts like a fool, ad-libbing to various sounds.

Opening
After the Skywatcher and the Guide find it safe to come out of hiding, all the creatures run out in celebration, singing, dancing, and performing small acrobatic stunts with each other.

Flight of Icarus
With agility, deftness and sensitivity, the performer, playing the part of Icarus, performs astounding dives and contortions in the net that holds him captive.

Icarian Games
Rarely seen in circus shows today, foot-juggling is one of the oldest circus arts disciplines. The principle is simple: the bearer lies on his back and twirls the voltigeur on his feet. Foot-juggling acrobats often come from the same family. This wild family of Icarian brothers plays with the desire to take flight, the courage of audacity and the joy of brotherhood.

Water Meteors
High above their heads, three young acrobats whirl ropes with metal meteors attached to the ends. Handling their ropes with rare agility, they perform impressive acrobatic figures at the same time. Once again, they are an incantation to surpassing one’s limits and to the human yearning to escape the Earth’s pull and rise into the air towards the sublime.

Clowns
The two clowns try to perform magic but mess everything up. An unsuspecting audience member is recruited to help.

Cloud Act
The Skywatcher pulls a cloud along by a rope while Icarus and the Betrothed get closer.

Triple Trapeze
From their trapeze on high, four young women perform a series of striking acrobatic moves, displaying grace, sensuality and impeccable timing. For Icarus, this is the test of desire, between the temptation and the arrogance of beauty.

Lezginka
This act takes its inspiration from a long tradition of resistance in the Republic of Georgia, whose inhabitants have had to battle numerous invaders over the centuries. The movements of the dancers recall the Georgians’ struggles against neighbouring powers that sought to dominate their land. Endurance, precision and more than a hint of frenzy mark this act. The Masters of the Volcano call Icarus to rage and to rebellion. This is the test of Fire.

Man Cycle
The Skywatcher walks around with two huge wheels on each side, teasing the Guide and Icarus.

Body Skating/Slippery Surface
Rebirth is nigh for the young man who has landed in the middle of the desolate forest. For the duration of a zany baptism, the hostile forest becomes as colourful as tropical seas. Darting and intertwining on a specially designed sliding surface, the artists fling and catch each other, creating an illusion of skating.

Clowns
One clown tries to sing to the audience while chasing the spotlight which travels everywhere, from various places on the stage to sections of the audience.

Solo on Crutches (i quite like this one)
Like a jointed puppet, a performer on canes teeters in a stirring dance.

Aerial Straps
Castor and Pollux, twin brothers and shadows of the sky, circle in their perfect symbiosis around Icarus to invite him into the mysteries of encounters and wrenching goodbyes, departures and homecomings, attraction and repulsion. Suspended by wrist straps, they glide gracefully above the stage, performing original acrobatic figures.

Juggling
A juggling virtuoso, he handles the fruits of the forest to celebrate their rebirth with strength, rage and exuberance! Clubs, large balls, hats and ping-pong balls are manipulated with hands, his feet, his head and even his mouth.

Lightbulb Act
When the Guide's lightbulb dies, he calls for the Skywatcher to fix it. But the Skywatcher finds this entertaining and acts the silly man he is, which drives the Guide literally insane.

Handbalancing on Canes
The performer's grace, strength and flexibility are astonishing, as she balances on a series of strategically placed canes. Poised now on her feet, now on her hands, she contorts herself on her canes, maintaining a delicate equilibrium.

Russian Swings
Propelled by two Russian swings, acrobats are hurled high into the air, like the fires of an erupting volcano, alighting on their partners' wrists or on a landing canvas. In some feats, the acrobats soar from one moving swing to the other!

Acrobatic Pas de Deux
Two lovers dance and perform acrobatic stunts, showing their love, trust, and respect for each other.

All music is played live by seven musicians and two singers. Composed by Violaine Corradi and directed by the bandleader/keyboard player, every song matches the mood of the act and the mood the performer/creature is portraying.

There are two distinctively different voices in the show. The primary voice is a male singer called the Patriarch. He is dressed in a dark purple outfit and sings to all but two acts. He is able to tap into the feeling of the act and portray the feeling with his facial expressions and arm and hand movements. He always shows himself except during the two acts where he doesn't sing. His range is from high tenor to bass, almost sounding mechanical.

The other voice is a young female singer called the Muse. Her outfit is that of a light purple flower. She is amazed by everything she sees but is normally shy and hides among the trees, almost unseen. She has two solos, where she shows herself to her fellow creatures and the audience. For seven other acts, she either blends with the Patriarch or sings a small part of the song. During these acts, she is either next to him or hiding among the trees. For the remaining acts, she remains out of sight. Her range is from low alto to high soprano.

During the Triple Trapeze act, there is a third voice, blending with the Patriarch. The voice belongs to the wind instrument musician, hidden in the trees behind the Patriarch.

On to the potos!

1] The Varekai Ticket!
2] "Spectators wishing to enter the Grand Chapiteau once the show has started will be seated at an appropriate interval" ---

1 - 4] Posing like the acrobats again!

As I returned home from the gathering, I read this, and I was surprised at how it fits. I mean, you can read it and not get the same thing as me.. But what I got from the meeting and reading this kinda fits. Wherever you go, the peace of God stays with you. It doesn't matter you are here or back there. What the Spirit has taught you, what is deposited in you stays, and when you hear something, the peace or absence of peace within will confirm what you know on the inside. Be the one who gives now, as you have received abundantly, serve out of the overflow of the grace and liberation that you have received. I feel that they are willing to receive the message, but just that no one has unveiled it to them. So feed it to them slowly and over time, they'll be open to it and be liberated too. There's a place for you here and it's to show them what you know of your Abba father's heart, Jesus's finished work on the cross and the destiny to reign in their life. But don't fly on the high and lose the foundations, there are truths in the teachings that we hear of now. Discern what you hear and learn together with what you already know, check them out and seek for yourself what's the truth. And as Uncle said, it's true, because we go with expectations, but no, there're different things we draw from different people. I've learnt certain things from here, but I retain the things I learnt from back there. It gives me a more balanced perspective rather than flying on a high that is not stable. I'm not saying to mix. No, you can't mix old wine into new wineskins, but to learn and put it into the right perspective. And if there's someone with the wrong perspective, teach them to see it in the right perspective with the right attitude that you're teaching out of the love.

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.”Genesis 28:15 NIV

When God calls us into the deep valley of death, he will be with us. Dare we think that he would abandon us in the moment of death?...Would the shepherd require his sheep to journey to the highlands alone? Of course not. Would God require his child to journey to eternity alone? Absolutely not! He is with you!

What God said to Moses, he says to you: “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest” (Exod. 33:14 NIV).

What God said to Jacob, he says to you: “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go” (Gen. 28:15 NIV).

What God said to Joshua, he says to you: “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Josh. 1:5 NIV).

from Traveling Light by Max Lucado

Don't be worried/"frustrated" why people are not knowing of this, because they are millions out there who don't yet, but God is working. Working through his servants and through you! Ministry doesn't have to be 1 pastor to a congregation..ministry is 1 person to 1 person. Bless others by being a source of encouragement, a source of affirmation in their troubled times and their confusion. And of course, pray for the heart of the loving father and only ONE sacrifice that has done it all to be known!



Crap. Forgot to take poto. HAHAHA.


An Unearthly Love

Your goodness can’t win God’s love. Nor can your badness lose it. But you can resist it. We tend to do so honestly. Having been rejected so often, we fear God may reject us as well. Rejections have left us skittish and jumpy. Like my dog Salty. He sleeps next to me on the couch as I write. He’s a cranky cuss, but I like him. We’ve aged together over the last fifteen years, and he seems worse for the wear. He’s a wiry canine by nature; shave his salt-and-pepper mop, and he’d pass for a bulimic Chihuahua. He didn’t have much to start with; now the seasons have taken his energy, teeth, hearing, and all but eighteen inches’ worth of eyesight.

Toss him a dog treat, and he just stares at the floor through cloudy cataracts. (Or, in his case, dogaracts?) He’s nervous and edgy, quick to growl and slow to trust. As I reach out to pet him, he yanks back. Still, I pet the old coot. I know he can’t see, and I can only wonder how dark his world has become.

We are a lot like Salty. I have a feeling that most people who defy and deny God do so more out of fear than conviction. For all our chest pumping and braggadocio, we are anxious folk—can’t see a step into the future, can’t hear the one who owns us. No wonder we try to gum the hand that feeds us.

But God reaches and touches. He speaks through the immensity of the Russian plain and the density of the Amazon rain forest. Through a physician’s touch in Africa, a bowl of rice in India. Through a Japanese bow or a South American abraço. He’s even been known to touch people through paragraphs like the ones you are reading. If he is touching you, let him.

Mark it down: God loves you with an unearthly love. You can’t win it by being winsome. You can’t lose it by being a loser. But you can be blind enough to resist it.

Don’t. For heaven’s sake, don’t. For your sake, don’t.

"Take in with all Christians the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God” (Eph. 3:18–19 MSG).

And then we came out of the exhausting cave, and went on a "scenic" drive - apparently the lady at the visitor center says it's dam scenic. all we see are trees, trees and more trees. -_- BUT as usual, we still had fun:
again, we needed to practice to get the right timing. and we hurriedly tried to be on the right timing after yj said, "eh, the sign says that here might have foxes leh." O_o
MANY MANY jumping shots which resulted in MANY MANY hilarious moments. here...I think was mainly son.
At the lookout of the "scenic" drive.
The most "scenic" place and beautiful shots! really nice! it's such a....."the sisterhood of the travelling pants" kinda shots. HAHAHA
chelle was totally freaking out. I managed to convince her that standing up on the branch and taking a shot is not hard and scary. I wanted to go on to swinging on a branch is not hard and scary but no, she won't be taken in by me...

Then we started to make our way back home, but along the way, the map-reader (read: me) fell asleep after I told YJ to "go straight up" (cause it was still a while to the next turn) and after a while, he realised something was wrong and he went, "erm fen! you sure I still go straight?" and then, I realised, he missed the turn! so we had to turn back and petrol was running low. opppps. ehhh, but forgive me, I didn't sleep the whole trip okey! I stayed awake most of the trip! (I usually don't sleep in rides unless I'm real sleepy!)

So we ended up reaching home later than expected and everyone was starving so we decided to make it a simple dinner with groceries bought from IGA and korean instand noodles in our own home. But they were still kinda hungry so we went to get Chooks..and then spent the night just slacking away! But we had such a good night sleep! there were electric blankets!! wasted my time packing extra blankets for everyone - but it was all good as a precautionary measure.

23rd September 2007 - On the way back!
Busselton jetty:
ru's jumping shots always look like she's asking for rain.
realise there's no chelle + son? cause chelle's ears were painful after like 1/4 of the jetty and they went back to the car - and chelle fell asleep. HAHA

And then we went all the way back to Perth:
Went to Freo again, this time to shop more of the outside + eat fish & chips + eat gelato


And then we met chelle's fren, Wenyan + YJ's fren, Deborah for dinner @ Uncle Billy's! I was half expecting to meet the church people there! HAHA. who knows..you guys went to leederville!

4 - 5] them @ corica's buying apple strudel
6 - 7] eating lunch in the city!
8] them doing what they "do best"!
9] it was cold that day..

And then I met them later again in the afternoon to go down to oconnor's to vacumn the car + buy Jester's pies + eat dinner + do other random stuff.


And then it was all the way rush: go home, pack stuff, bring luggauge down, zoom to airport, check in, write form again, and off they go into the departure gates..

sobs. ='(
I miss you all already too once I got into the car and I went home! I missed the chatter in the car, I missed the warmth in my bed with the both of you (this sounds abit wrong but u know what I mean..), I missed you people kind of atmosphere in my house, in my everyday life (like how we meet up almost everyday that we had to get a life), you guys really made my place warmer! Literally even! yesterday + today I had to switch on my heater! when I haven't in a long while! awww..but you guys gave me a new breath and break and I feel revved up to do my work and finish my thesis! I'm glad we all had fun, am glad that we're still as before, lame + funny + dingdongy yet talk sense at the same time. Am glad that it's all well with all of you after catching up with all the latest happenings! AM LOOKING FORWARD TO brisbane!(though I still feel like going Hk again just to eat shi liu shan. yums.) Will update you all about my plans as soon as I get to know where I'm heading.

A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy.

Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realise something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face.

"I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said, according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal.

His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor - and alive. - OMG

In other news, a nurse is recovering after being stabbed by a patient outside an East Perth mental health clinic this morning.

The attack happened outside the Moore St clinic at about 8am.

Police spokesman Sergeant Graham Clifford said the woman was stabbed up to eight times with a screwdriver by a patient from the clinic. - another reason for me not to get to work at 8am.

I spent the last 30 minutes reading House quotes. And I realise, it's not House that's smart, it's David Shore that's brillant. well, he was the one who came up with the writing for the series! But granted Hugh Laurie really protrayed House well. Can't think of anyone who would fit right into that role.

hmms, 2 more days! yays! =D you'll get to ride in your Ferrari, don't worry *)

hmms, I'm such a dilemma. I'm painfully resistant yet strongly encouraging to both sides of the story!

so, we just had 3 nights of coporate prayer, and tonight was the 3rd night! - with most of the vibe/kinetic people coming down. I kinda felt that tonight was the best actually. u?


anyways, then after, we went for supper at utopia + uncle billy's. AND there was a HUGE AMOUNT of food ordered. haha. cause they thought we had like many many people but in the end 4 people left after utopia. We ate till we were full for 3 days. nah, kidding. we were just full la.


1,2,3,4,6,9] with Jean around, where got no multishots one!
5] Pet, me & Jean!
7] Bubble tea
8] Stripeys!

AND somehow, we managed to be all obedient to Jean's request for bunny shots. I don't know she did it. no one complained, no one procrastinated. everyone just did it.
5] AND I GOT EVIDENCE FOR AHBOY's ACTIONS! TERRIBLE! Say somemore! say somemore! You fight for yourself also NO chance ar!
8] Gab's "this is when the bunny realise a car is coming straight at it" HAHAHA!

Now it's stuck in my headdd, ellie+pet! "That's when I love youuu...I love you anyway." okey at least it's better than having "you're too beautifuuul girl" in my head. AHAHAHA

okeyy. on to bed! busy day ahead! with the extra chore of going back to my lab's pantry to grab my foodstuff. =\
