And finally, for the grand finale, we have our very own SAJC DANCE SOCIETY!~ *cheer people, cheer!~* ;) (The music and video are kinda not synchronised properly so music seems slower for the YOUTUBE edition. if you encounter any problems with the PHOTOBUCKET edition of the video, please refer to the video on the left scrollbar =D)
*Credits to Bang, Mei and Mingde for the wonderful videos!*
***
And let's look at what's going on downstage...
something scandalous is going on between them... Mei, being unfaithful to me when i'm performing.. Tsk tsk... *Heart-broken* *hears glass shattering sounds* (ouch, that's my heart) ;)
Top boy of the school sleeping somemore. Tsk tsk... *shakes head*
as usual, bimbos cam whoring with my camera... what's new? ;)
seriously, ACES (All Children Exercising Simultaneously) Day should be called ATES (All TEACHERS Exercising Simultaneoulsy) day! ~
for ACES today, only the principals, teachers and us, dancers were enthusiastic only. The rest couldn't give any fuck about it. (maybe a few others among the crowd were joining in the fun too. i may be wrong.)
it's like so fucking lack of respect and co-operation. first you people refused to do it during PE, then you laugh at your teachers and fellow saints on ACES itself. it's your LAST ACES Day PEOPLE! next year this time, we'll be doing our prelims. then as we move on, the gals will move on to uni and the guys to NS. you think they'll have ACES then?! and even so, by that time, we won't be CHILDREN anymore. If that's how you wanted ACES to be like today, you've got your wish.
Trust me, you'll regret as you grow older. Mark my words, till the day you think about all these again, it'll be too late.
And you think we like to learn this type of spastic dance and teach it to the whole school?! you people have seen us and you know our standards. you think we like wasting our precious time choreographing, learning and teaching all these? Can' t you people just co-operate FOR ONCE? Insensitive, rude bunch of neighbourhood wimps.
It's time to reflect man... This is not the way. This is NOT the way...
we just realised that Mingde likes to stuff big, long, thick, fleshy and huge things into his mouth. Gees... ;)
ok... that was random ;)

well, i kinda lost many chain of thoughts that i had a few hours ago when i was coming home on the train...
VK, no, i'm not angry at you. I'm just really pissed that people can get so darn irresponsible at times. it really just irritates the shit outta me. It's like why can't people these days have more responsibitiy man?! Sorry to have scared you just now dearie. We're still good PDD-cum-bitching partners and friends ;)
That's that... Oh yeah. I was just reminded how people in SA these days are just so damn shallow. As if they haven't seen so many things before. People should start opening up, especially their eyes to see how the world is revolving and changing. Life's not just about themselves you know.
Seriously, people should just grow up and respect others' freedom of choice too. Just becoz some people doesn't look the same, wear the same, like the same or what have you, they discriminate. They look at you in a different light. They label. They make fun. They despise. They abhor. Narrow-minded, disgusting.
However, there's always this splinter group out there, who're much more grown up, much matured in their thinking. They share. They love. They admire. They respect. Isn't that how life's supposed to be?

As Hilary sang...
* There's people talking. They talk about me. They know my name, they think they know everything. But they don't know anything about me.
* People all around me, everywhere that I go. People all around me, they don't really know me. Everybody's watching me like I'm some kind of show. Everybody's watching. They don't really know me now, forever...
* I try to make it happen, try to make it alright. I know I make mistakes, I'm living life day to day. It's never really easy but it's ok.
How true, how true.

Sometimes, i really wish i wasn't living such a life like mine. I just wish to be some plain Tom, Dick or Harry, where people won't even take a second glance or even notice me...
But it's times like these when i have no regrets living a life like my own...
it's the fun time i share with my family, friends and most importantly, you (no. not Bang! just coz her pic is up there doesn't mean it's her. Mei, yes, i'm being unfaithful to you ;P)
i love ya all sincere peeps out there, especially YOU!~ =)
yeah. it's been a long time since i voiced out. long, long time =)
guess the haze is really getting to us. just look at how bad air quality is nowadays. seriously, i think it's time people start sparing a thought for our Mother Nature instead of just self-centeredly burning forests down. it's annoying. and it really pains my heart to see the greens getting burnt down due to human greeds. it's just disgusting. utterly disgusting...
apparently, this girl was running away after lighting up the spirit candle. she was so afraid to light it with match sticks at first and Ms Su had to coax her so as to make her do it. Bimbo rite? guess who ;)
and guess what i saw outside? they're teaching the sparstic ACES Day dance!~ ;)
and as usual, we were walking around school and i made a new discovery...
but i've two questions... why does it stop there? where does it lead to? *wonders* hmmm...
just as you thought Rapture was over and i have time to spare.
HA!~ how wrong can you be. i'm still racing with time!!!~~~
5 AUG 2006- KALEIDOSCOPE
the second day of GESS ELDDS's Kaleidoscope'06...
well, to start off with. someone brought me to RGS instead of SCGS. (i guess you all should know who. who else will have such a bad sense of direction?)
well, i have to say, the whole cast did a great job!~ esp Qianwei, Janice and Xiang Yi!~ Way ta go!~ ;)
and how i can i not photo whore at this kinda events? ;)

6 AUG 2006- ONE FAMILY, ONE FLAG
i still couldn't get over Rapture. i miss my dressing room and the Green room!~ ;)

oh well, three days of performances to perform and watch is definitely tiring!~ ;)
well, to start off, lunch at Cafe Cartel with Michael was great!~
yeah. now you compare my lunch and dinner...
VAST DIFFERENCE! =/
then it was time to flash the pass to get my ass back to the backstage of Esplanade!~ YAY!~ =D
and i thought everyone would already be in their rooms. how wrong...
oh well, waiting for rehearsal to start after we got access to our rooms, PROJECT PWAMPW CONTINUES!!!~ =)
and seriously, I LOVE THE RED COUCH IN THE ROOM ;)
it was still hurting, i was still limping...
BUT THE SHOW HAD TO GO ON =)

DIVALICIOUS!~ ;)
and since i've got spare time...
it's definitely time for PROJECT PWAMPW again!~ ;)
and i finally caught hold of 2 alumni to photo whore with!~ they seem so busy... anyway, thanks to Kelly and Jackie!~ =)
aww... everyone looked so pretty!~ ;D
Corrine and I with our usual nonsense!~ ;) (i'm trying to imitate her in the second pic!!~ ;P)
RAPTURE offically started at around 8.10pm and off we went on to stage.
and...
we DANCED.
we SMILED.
we PERSPIRED.
admist the performance, getting ready for our finale...
YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT! ;)
and everything finally came to a beautiful ending...
all the months of hard work, effort, sweat, tears, laughter, blood, joy...
ALL WAS WORTHED IT =)
WE ONLY LIVE IT THROUGH ONCE. AND WE MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT =)
and after curtain call, everyone was jumping with joy, embracing each other with laughter, tears and sweat...
then came the teachers shouting...
"Quick, we only have half an hour to clear the place!"
and the mad rush began...
well, i had to clear the costumes, clean off make up and clear the room before i could leave...
a last glimpse of the room before leaving...
and then off i went, leaving the backstage of Esplanade Theatre that's filled with a bank of memories...

after all the woo-has, we finally went on with the lighting and blocking rehearsal on stage and managed to get some work done =)
the next part's one of my FAVOURITES...
FOOD!~
haha. well, i eat almost anything. the food didn't really taste good but well, it's still FOOD!~ and since Khaireen couldn't finish her share, i helped her finish it ;P
NAP TIME followed after lunch of coz ;)
this piggy here needs some rest too k ;P
oh yeah. disgusting but did i mention that my blisters got so bad that i couldn't even dance proper.
i limped ever since i used a pin to poke the blisterS. yeah. i know i'm dumb but that's what people told me to do me =/
nevertheless, the rehearsal has to go on...
so i PERSERVERED...
then it was time to make all ourselves look pretty with all the stage make up ;) (yeah. even us guys were busy trying to look pretty. look at Dominic. isn't he pretty ;P)
gosh. some people told me that i looked so DIVA-lish. sheesh. but i think the dark eyes did visually enlarged my eyes but i think i look as if i lost sleep for ONE YEAR!~ =/
sheesh. did i mention that the broadway-y lights of the dressing table could BBQ you alive!~ HOT!!!~~~
then the clock strucked 10 and by then all Cinder-dancers were outta the backstage, getting our asses home to rest for the BIG THING the next day...
