18.

yesterday's Cinderella rehearsal was the FUNNEST i've ever had in my whole 3 months of being in this musical. :)

the full act rehearsals were really hilarious! i love the cast of Cinderella Revamped man, they are really SO FUNNY. and we got to be extras in the background for some scenes WHOOHOOO i love being an extra.
*tries not to do stupid things onstage for fear of attracting unnecessary and unwanted attention*

my skater group is crazy. betti and i are the only 2 girls, stuck with 4 childish boys ah. @_@ the 4 of them are so AA and so hyper sometimes, it's hard to control them onstage. ohmygoodness, acting with them can be so fun and yet so worrying because you really don't know what they're gonna do on the real day.

betti and anaz decided to make yesterday "Bully-Nic-Day". lol. shuttlecocks were flying at me the entire day, and i was also very smart and quick-witted when i was with them. anaz betti yoga and suadi all tricked me into thinking that yoga was an extra dancer from Stomp The Yard. =_______=
they also tricked me about ALOT of other things, half of which i still don't get WHY i was tricked.
honestly, guys, i'd believe anything. NGAH. xD

despite being the butt of most jokes yesterday, i still had a lot of fun. :) i like laughing with my friends and making them laugh. (even if half the time they're laughing AT me) yesterday really ended on such a good note, it still makes me smile (and laugh a little) now. x)

Party Crasher went unexpectedly well. there were moves that were rather technical, like House steps, grooving, and a small Krump move here and there, and i was afraid it might be difficult for the Misfits to catch it so fast. to my pleasant surprise, i managed to finish teaching the entire choreo minus formations in about 35 minutes. O_o we were all...mildly shocked. the Misfits were wonderful, they all tried very hard and were all so serious about learning the choreo--i'm so so proud of them! sure, they like goofing off and everything, but it really touched me to see them working so hard and having them come up to me and telling me that the choreo is nice and that they like it. XD

it's moments like these and small things like these that make the effort all worthwhile. x)

suadi and isabelle were such dears. and praveen iqmal and sameer were so on about it too, even though they had exams all this week. even KC showed interest in learning the choreo! wow wow. and what i love about these people is how they have fun learning the choreo. they really look like they're enjoying themselves! :D the Prep Squad has a way with that too. those girls always try to enjoy themselves as much as they can, even though the choreo is like pretty sian to do after awhile. :) makes me so proud of them...

to make it all better, yoga anaz and i had a mini cypher after Party Crashers! we did House and Locking! whooooo it's been such a long time since i had a cypher, and this was the first one that i really enjoyed! :D yoga anaz and betti are such fun people to cypher with, we all promised to do it sometimes soon again. :) maybe with more people! like the entire prep squad and the misfits!
what i like most about their cyphers is that they don't mind if the people cyphering don't have proper technique. terrance says people cypher to improve their freestyle and technique, so you must have technique if you want to cypher. but for these dudes, they're more focused on helping the people in this musical destress and have fun. they really care for these people, and they just want to show them that they can enjoy themselves with dance, no matter how lousy they think they are at it. that's why i give them so much credit. :) sorry terrance, i think we're all just entitled to our own opinions. :)

Hey Wannabes first prac didn't go so well, though. the music isn't ready, and my phone recording is so soft even the ants on the ground around the speakers have difficulty hearing the music. -__-
i really need the music. x___x

on a side note,
i love my acting role. it's a small part only, and i get to wear what i usually wear and act like how i usually act. :D
i also love choreographing for the musical. there are so many talented dancers in there, and the music is so awesome to work with. i love dancing in the musical and dancing with my friends here. it's been so fun, although i keep worrying that we're not gonna be able to perfect everything on time. 18 days! *wails in hoarse voice*

i also realise how much i don't want this musical to be over. :x

all the fun times, laughter, all the bitter times, breakdowns, diva attitudes...
these are things that are so hard to put in words, but are things that will remain in my memories for a long long time to come.

i will never forget what i learnt in this musical. already in terms of dance, i've learnt so much. dance aside, i've learnt countless valuable lessons and have grown a lil bit i think. ;) i just hope that we make the best out of this last 18 days... it's gonna be over soon... :(
