Ethereal again!!

Ethereal is finally over!After three months of practise, we have finally put up this performance!

Hai, but dunnoe why, feel a bit lost after the performance is over. Kind of miss the busy days dancing Chinois Blues, acting sexy but can't, then land up laughing all the way. This may also mean that we will never dance with Sophia and Geraldine again. How sad. I even miss Michael, sigh..

Enough said, photos!!

Well, Ethereal wasn't really very successful. Prepare, for I am going to rattle, A LOT.

I took a cab down on the first night, thinking I will be late. But when I reach there, everything was being pushed back. I wasn't really upset at that, because I know this is inevitable. However, everything was pushed back so badly that we had not much time for Blues, and didn't even went through Finale. Everything was so rushed that I almost couldn't finish my makeup on time. (Okay, I admit that I spent a ridiculous amount of time on eyeliner and my fake eyelashes..)I even forgot to put on my lipstick, not mentioning whether I did my warm up.

Then the performance finally started, real badly. The MC started speaking, when the mic went dead. She then tried again, but the mic went dead again. So the lights when out, and everyone waited. And waited. And waited. Waited for such a long time that ever the performers are feeling impatient already. Hai, what a bad start. The first dance was VERY messy, and a lot of fans dropped, while one of the dancers fell down. Luckily for me Tage was still not that bad.

Then was Reflections. It was MESSY!! My cloth couldn't open properly, and our music was all wrong. Blues, was like, the best because everyone cheered loudly. I could feel the audience actually liked the dance. But the funny thing was, my dad was actually sitting right in the middle. So throughout this seducing dance I had to look at my dad, how weird is that?? (Kelp if you are reading this, quit laughing!)

Then was Finale. Well because we did not rehearse properly, Blues girls could not get out in time because KE7 dancers were standing near to us. (I don't blame them for it, because I seriously don't think its their fault.) Then the final part, everyone was so confused that it looked like the dancers were kneeling on stage when we are supposed to stand up in blocks, doing a kallang wave. The most embarrassing thing was that I actually remembered the steps and stood up. Then it came to the end when we bowed. But I think the choreographers forgot to arrange how this performance was supposed to end, cos we end up just staring at the audience, not knowing what to do, and the audience just laughed. Hai, the only consolation I got was when I saw mr tam staring at me through the crowd. Although after that he told me that I looked so obviously worried on the stage. And thanks for the pretty gerberras!!

When the performance ended the choreographers instructed us to go back to LT 12. But there are simply some people who doesn't listen to instructions and delay everyone. I was so pissed because my family is waiting outside. Please, do you think you are the only one who want to take photos? Hai, my family didn't have a good impression of the performance. Messy dance, bad costumes(broken, or even too short that everyone looked fat), bad sound system, bad arrangement and bad ushering. But still, like what Geraldine says, this is what family is for. They give honest feedback.

The second night was much much better. We had time to go through Blues and the Finale. Makeup was smooth too. (Thanks to Sophia and Junni!) And I put on my lipstick too, thank you. Had to put on a fairer foundation, but I must say, I looked better. But everything was off to a good start, had time for warm up, the MC was fine. Although the KE7 dancers dropped their headgear, one of them tactfully kicked the headgear from the middle of the stage to backstage!! Ha, all the Tage dancers in green were so amazed. Tage was quite good I felt, just that at the last minute my smile froze. Lucky the lights went out in time. Reflection was fine too, more neat thought I forgot a bit of actions when I was in the first row and also my cloth dropped at the very last pose. But still, I thought I put in my most emotions for this time.

Blues was the BEST!! I just went out all the way, danced with all my edginess and sexiness. Hope all of your liked it! Though the cheers were not as loud, I felt great after dancing. Finale was also great, everything was neat ( although I embarrassed myself by lifting my head when everyone was bowing). And I get to present flowers to Michael on stage, representing Chinois Blues!

Just as I was looking around onstage looking for familiar faces, Tiang Lim and Zhaorong came from backstage! I was so shocked and touched to see them! Both of them felt that the dance was great! Then also took lots of photos with Lileng and Yuxi and mr tam, who gave me a M&M and sunflower respectively! Thanks a lot guys! Also went around taking photos with Junni, Michael, Meiyan, Fen, Wanhui and seniors. It was really nice to see all the seniors, remind me of the DR days. Michael still thanked me for dancing Blues, but I think I should really be the one saying Thanks cos I really enjoyed Blues a lot and I think it opened my eyes to another genre of dance.
Thanks Michael!

mr tam waited for me to drive me home, and immediately on the car, I felt lost already. The thought of not dancing the three dances was dissapointing. Hai.

Although I didn't see eye to eye to a lot of things regarding Ethereal, I am really honoured and lucky to be part of Ethereal. In fact, I am so tied to it that I had to pick up the Ethereal poster lying on the floor at the Science bus stop on Friday. I can't possibly leave this wonderful thing lying around, can I?

But I still lost my nice brown clip(that I left at LT 13 dressing table and reminded myself upteen times to take!) and costume bag during this performance.

But I really have to thank mr tam. Thanks for driving me home after my late practices(and the long waiting time), buying me refreshing drinks everytime, watching both performances and buying me pretty flowers, and of course my post performance celebrations. Went to Far East to repair my bag and buy more clips to replace my nice brown clip. Also bought a nice shrug and bimbo shoes, haha. Now trying to convince him to let me buy a dress at Blossomz. Haha.

Okay, rattled enough. It is back to studying now because I realised I have been scoring below average. I have, I have to increase my marks! Eeeshio!
