hwee

Well, once again. It’s gona be a long post (: Don’t you just love them? Heh . Perhaps I shouldn’t be typing this at all because I haven’t done my homework yet which is a huge pile of it. Exhausted. Just want to lie on bed and sleep forever. Gosh. Okay. Enough crap. Time to start the post or it’ll drag on even later.
Let’s start with yesterday shall we? I was really excited and nervous because SYF is today. It’s my first time experience for dance SYF competition because in the past 2 involvement were both chorale. So now, it’s a completely different feeling. I mean it’ll be really obvious if we’re wrong. Dancing is easy but difficult to be expressed well.
Yesterday’s dinner was at Subway! It was really hilarious. It has been long since I had laughed so much. The source of the laughter was mainly Jermyn, my dance junior. Or should I say it was totally him? The first stroke of laughter started with ordering. It turned out Kuan Wai and Jermyn have never ordered before because it was their friends who always help them. Oh wait. The first one was when we were trying to decide on a place to have dinner. Jermyn was suggesting expensive places just because of his male ego. It was so funny. Especially when he was carrying WenJia’s bag. I mean it’s obvious that it’s really heavy but he made it through and acted like it was really light. LOL.

Well well. And I made a couple of mistakes on my chinese language Guess I should take time to polish it up huh. Arriving in Subway should be one of the best choice ever like I’ve mentioned. Laughing so much really did help me destress a lot. There were a lot of lame jokes spoken of. Some are really ! ><” I think the best part about our 4 hour conversation was “The Saw” part where Jermyn was trying to imitate a sadist person trying to saw his arm off. It was just so hilarious with that look of his. Talked about happy tree friends and all. Surprsied that Kuan Wai has NEVER watched it before. She heard that it was gross so she didn’t want to watch it. Innocent !

And there was this part where Jermyn was trying to imitate Kuan Wai’s actions except it’s in an overly exaggerated way. LOL. Rolling of eyeballs. And somehow it led to eyeball exercises. So hilarious. Oh. And we met Jolene, Joyce and Karmen(not sure of spelling). Jolene said something wrong and stabbed Jermyn. LOL . He was so affected by it. Because Jolene mistook him for Ideal(Wait. How is it spelled ? Oh whatever ) . He was there repeating that ” I’m not a malay. I’m NOT IDEAL ~~ x100″ We were busy laughing our heads off. Jolene continued on grumbling about what Joyce did and betrayed her. It was so hilarious.

Okay. Enough . Shall move on to SYF day shall we ?

Celebrated HuiNa’s birthday (: She was surprised . We made too much noise and yeah. Something bad happened but forget about it.

We practised a lot. Did our make up and took LOTS OF PICTURES. From now on, there is going to be a lot of photos so bear with it (: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After that we board the bus and proceeded to UCC ! Really nervous and we got a glimpse of the dance items before us. They are really good. Even though they made mistakes, their expressions didn’t waver at all. When it was our part, my heart was going to fall out. All I had in my mind was ” do my best”. Well, everything ended. It’s all over despite the mistakes we’ve made.

Waited for one whole hour for results. For the time being, we continued to take pictures. All of them are in Mdm Ang’s camera. Haven’t got them yet though. 

The dialogue session was quite fruitful in some sense. We learnt how they judge our dance items. And realised that dance techniques don’t really matter. It’s the whole feel of it. The ability to be able to communicate with the audience with our body language. Dance isn’t as easy as it seems. And all the lighting, song chosen and even the title plays a huge part in the score. 

While we waited, we held our hands tightly. The announcement of a silver medal was disappointing. I myself predicted or should I say already expected that because we were still quite messy. And for a big part of the dance, we weren’t really into the dance yet. So it’s quite sad for that. At least we did our best and got a silver medal for the first time participation in the international dance category. Be satisfied with what we have and work towards a better tomorrow shall we ?

There were lots of tears on the bus trip back. The JC2s were really sad except for WenJia and me. I can’t say that we weren’t sad but it’s like, it’s already over and we did our best. So there’s not much to regret about is there? We had a wonderful experience of working hard together as a team towards this event. So even though we didn’t get what we want, we enjoyed the process throughout (: That’s what that matters. 

We started removing our make up. Our teacher passed around baby wipes . Jermyn and Janice demostrated to us what does lightning speed removing make up mean. All they used were 2 baby wipes and off were their makeup. It’s insane. I used like 14 ? At first I didn’t want to use it. The KuanWai said ” The baby butt is just like an adult’s face” . LOL . Well true. The baby skin is so good that even their butt is equivelant to our faces. And we don’t even have such good skin. Do you see acne on their butts? NO !

When we reached the studio, I tried to brighten up the mood by taking photos. I started the ball rolling by doing them myself. KuanWai supported me (:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah. Before I forget. This is Kyung’s happiness in cleaning up the studio. With the black top and checkered trousers, doesn’t he look like a uncle ? XD

 

After that, the juniors(guys) , Jasmine, WenJia, Kuan Wai and me went for dinner at the coffee shop nearby. We played truth or dare. Found out a lot of things about everyone. Hilarious. Oh yeah. We got crazy and started spreading messages around. It was so funny. A fun night indeed. I’m sure everyone had fun. Sad that it’s time to part already because seniors don’t have to go for dance anymore. And it’s time for us to focus on our studies. It’s really bad . LOL .

Okay. Next. Today went to consult the doctor. So didn’t go to school. Slept throughout the afternoon and read the book Real World by Natsuo Kirino.

A different experience indeed. I’ve never read book like this. It completely shows the similiarites and differences of teenagers. It’s like how different they are on the outside and the inside. Yet they have the same desire to be who they are. It’s not that kind of a romance story if you’re looking for one. Nor is it a thriller that involves all kind of fighting scenes. Nope. None of that. Instead, it’s more down to earth, realistic. The book made me realise how similar humans are and how fragile we actually are.

In order to survive, we rely on everyone around and yet we never do disclose who we actually are on the inside. Not because we are unfriendly, instead it’s fear that drove us to become like this. Fear of interjection. It made me think of many simple yet compelling questions. Is there really no more truth in the world anymore? Can’t we reveal who we really are anymore? Why should we hide behind the shadows and conform ourselves?

The world has changed and we humans can only keep on adapting to it. We changed the world and in the end, we changed ourselves. It’s a never ending cycle and there is no winner in the end. It’s either you adapt or you fall behind. That’s the blunt truth of reality. Face it guys .
