i haven't gotten around to putting the pics on facebook yet, but since EVERYONE else has already put all thepics on facebook i reckon i don't need to right. haha. ANYWAY, since i've finished the last of the macarons the creatures got me for the concert (hur hur excuse me i thought you were supposed to get me GRASS? hahaha) i figure i ought to start writing about it before i forget everything.
haha concerts are a drug. they're so easy to get addicted to-- first you have only one or two practices, then as time goes on you get more and more addicted and you have to have a "dose" of your choreo like practically everyday haha. not so much for this one la-- but for other performances, like SUAD and even busking, i swear i ate drank slept dreamt the choreography. even for emcc, which had so little prep time in comparison to the other performances, i found myself going through the choreos while doing anything from driving to tutorial-ing to bathing to eating to talking. haha. i think qian wen and michelle were quite alarmed by me haha when i fetched them to hall and home respectively on different occasions-- the moment i started the engine xuzi's song came on (seeing as how we'd JUST finished fred/xuzi's blocking it was very apt.). michelle-- poor girl!-- had to remind me several times to DRIVE and NOT try and remember the choreo haha we were trying to remember can't let go from last year :):)
then of course after the concert is over you suffer withdrawal. and then you're faced with the misuse of drugs act haha in the form of all the tutorials and lectures you skipped and all the work not done. it's enough to amount to a capital punishment i tell you.
drugs are baaaaad. :(
but doesn't mean we're going to stop taking them eh. hahaha
ANYWAY. the girls didn't get dressing room 7 this year! the senior girls i mean-- we were mostly stuffed into dressing room 5 which is like half the size of 7 la :( so there was always a chronic shortage of seats and chairs and mirrors and changing space. nevertheless we had cosy cosy times :)
making up. always a love-hate thing haha :)
and then, of course, the picture-taking-- sheesh we do so much of this we probably should make an item of it or something. haha. this one is way too close (short arms :(:() but heyyy there are four of us in there! haha
moreee epics. as you can see YES there are a lot of photos being taken of photos being taken.
sharon! the lucky object of the emcc surprise. she still looks so polished even after crying her falsies off haha eh life is not fair!
and random pics with everyone :):)
lina! too bad i don't have a better pic with her :( but her duet with joo teng was so moving-- even watching from backstage i ended up tearing... and i know which part was the one that really struck me-- her expression on the line "one more smile". every line of her body was so grief-stricken
CUTIE. hahahaha. Q.T. Kew-ty?? hahahhaah the hot mama ("mummy" la) who didn't realise he was stripping bandages off as he went about on stage
liren has scaaary eyes. i imagine this is how he scares his hamsters into docile submission hoho
what in the world was I thinking haha. Worried that idil would be jealous maybe :P
michelle and collen-roomie! Haha omg reminds me of camp and how we *ahem* discovered something quite jing bao about hazel HAHA. Actually not jing bao at all. But I can remember her blushing, which is very funny heehee

macaronsssss from the icing room. They don’t look like much here, but they are YUMMY. I loved the green tea ones. Thank you darlings!
mum and dad (: I totally didn’t expect them to come haha but at the end I looked up and I saw them waving madly at me. I am immensely grateful that they took time out to watch the performance—time, and energy, despite all the random hospital visits. Ehhh my mum is NOT incredibly afraid that I will “break”, she meant sprain! Or otherwise injure myself
and with everyone excepting my ncc-ing brother, whose only form of exercise is to turn his head. HAHA. (eh not true I went home the other day and he was out running. SLY! And BOJIO!). haha yes this includes the insane food and joey who happily arrived at ucc at 4!! I owe you guys subs k.
haha mini dhs gathering! Lol. Thanks for coming girls I really appreciate it. Xf was impeccably dressed (as always haha eh indeed whatever happened to “live-in-hoodie-and-jeans”. Abigail! I congratulate you on no longer appearing suspicious (even if inside you still are. And I promise the belt was not tight at all. I owe you a taiwan-trip present! Ning the suspicious one who always goes shopppinggggg. Haha. Buy new shoes la if not we’ll keep stepping on you. Hahaha. Jin—“LOML”—green-eyed monster! :D hahaha. Thanks SO much for coming you totally didn’t have to and EH we ARE going to take classes together ok. BREAKDANCE ftw! (ning, this is where your brother can come in handy, no. hahah. Handy. HANDY.)
and of course, how would anything be complete without a proper tribute to all my creatures. You’ve been there for me through everything and I totally don’t deserve you girls. Ni we’re still missing you but see there’s a space between ning and me so that you can *insert head here*. Hahaha. Like my suspicious efforts at sentosa. i miss you alllllll. And if EVER ever EVER you need to talk – msn or phone or email or whatever—I’m there k. love!
