Long post. Photos below. *yawn* Nothing changes. Ha-ha.

It was a peculiar sensation. Jolts in my stomach. Dizziness. Tingle down the spine. Shudders. Hair-raising. A complicated mixture of emotions.

I couldn't stop smiling as I reminisced about those days, but I wanted to cry too. Not tears of joy, but not tears of sadness either. I don't know what.

It could be both. I was - still am, as a matter of fact - undeniably happy about how perfect everything was. The fact that I can never experience anything like it again is truly appalling.

Everyone will be traveling down different roads soon. I don't know if our paths will ever cross again, but I'm hoping that they will.

I really want things to return to the way they used to be. The things he said to us today were so devastating.

The hard, cold truth. I don't want him to feel disappointed. But it's not easy. It's not up to us anymore. It's up to them. If they don't change, then there's no hope anymore.

Determination. I'm going to make them change even if it's the last thing I do. Because only then can I get a slight taste of what I have been missing all this time. It won't be the same. It never will, unless if everyone, and I mean everyone, even those from last year, decide to come back. Which is impossible.

And we can't expect them to be our white knights forever, right? We have to do it on our own. We CAN do it on our own. *dubious look* No. Noooo. We can. Go away, Doubt.

Hahaha. Admit it. You have no idea what I'm rambling about. No matter. Neither do I. And it's not important.

*******************************

I'm going to post some photos of the ballet concert now! *gasp* For once, most the photos are not of me! Haha. Rejoicing already?

Uh. Wait. Let me say this first.

So. I met Rui Mei there, and for once she wasn't late! Haha. Then we found some seats and sat down. I was chatting with her happily, until some woman came and sat down in front of me. The seat in front of Rui Mei was empty.

But, as I'm a shorty, we moved a few seats to the right. Was showing Rui Mei some photos, when she suddenly said : "Wei. Can I laugh?" while jerking her head forwards. Another guy came and sat in front of me. Again. And the seat in front of Rui Mei was still empty.

So we moved again. And still another (TALL) guy came and sat in front of me and not Rui Mei. And by that time there were no more available seats for us to move around anymore. Hahaha. Hilarious.

There was also a group of children who stood on their seats a few rows in front of us. I kept cursing and swearing at the back because I couldn't see a thing. Really, how inconsiderate are their parents? Like my mom said, they should have sat at the last row (where we sat) so they won't block anyone's view. Stupid.

*Photos not of very good quality.

First, I was sitting at the last row on the ... flat ground? Not "upstairs". However you say it. Second, well. It just goes to show that the Canon IXUS cameras take lousy photographs in the dark.






The Waltz of the Flowers.

See, I told you the lighting was magnificent. Everything looked so ethereal, so surreal, so ...

I felt like a (Sugar Plum) fairy in the enchanted garden myself! Haha. No. Not really. Especially when you had a friend next to you saying that the large tree in the middle looked like a villus. Hahaha.

Oh, and especially when the narrator was a person who spoke without any enthusiasm, without any fervour. It was horrible. Boooo. He ruined a perfectly nice ballet concert. *grimace*


Rainbow (or something)

Loved the colours! :)


Eunice as the Sun (or something)

She looks sooo gorgeous in this photo. HAHAHA. Ning Zhen agreed!!






Ning Zhen




Ning Zhen & I



I KNOW I KNOW PHOTO QUALITY VERY LOUSY RIGHT!!! Maybe I just selected the wrong mode. *shrug* But I doubt so.


Rui Mei, Ning Zhen, Ning Hui & I

Stupid Rui Mei! I was going to stand beside Ning Zhen but she pushed me away. Booo. Never mind! At least I still stood beside a ballet dancer and not Rui Mei. Hahaha.

I also took a photo with Rui Mei, but she was talking on the phone at that time, and well, the photo is not exactly very ... flattering, so, to prevent myself from getting killed, I won't post it up. Hahaha. Another photo of her to add to my collection! Yes!!

Okay. I gotta go for lunch now! I'm going to post photos of Mok's present in the next post. Sorry. Still no performance photos. Doubt that you even want to see them anymore lah since, like I said, most of the photos are of (the gorgeous) yours truly. HAHAHA.

Watched the DVD. Want to smack the person who recorded the video because he didn't zoom in on Mok during her solo part. WTF leh. Instead he zoomed in on the cello players and percussionists. Who weren't really doing anything much. Dumb. DUMB. *clench fists*

My Olive Tree was actually pretty bad. But I still think (for me) the Olive Tree during the school concert was far worse. Never mind. Poooo.
