my best!

Wanting to update my blog since just now but i'm too tired dy.

my best shot in my trip:

taken in Kerala. it's a traditional dance in Kerala known as Kathakali. we were quite excited initially because they were suppose to do their make up in front of the audience and then present their short story taken from some Indian literature.

for all we know, the make up took 1 whole hour, and they presented the one-paragraph story for two whole hours. Jun Han fell asleep during the make up session, and i nearlly fell asleep during the climax of the story because they took almost two minutes to kill the bad guy.

the make up session

but it's really an art. the main idea of Kathakali is about the body language where they use facial expression and their sign language to convey the message to the audience.

we would have enjoyed it if we could memorise all the signs.

it takes almost 30seconds to say "goodbye!" in Kathakali. imagine...
