OVER. omg

i'm in such a good mood! :D

betts and sali came over to surprise me with sweet letters, a jar of folded stars, cake and a bigass bouquet of flowers! :O

i was so touchedddd ; ___ ;

Talentime went really smoothly too. everything went on schedule, we were only 10 minutes delayed. so CEMC made the decision to cut the filler item.

i.e. they made the decision to cut Don't Forget the Lyrics. :/

which i had been working on for the past week, skipping homework, readings, projects etc.

sighhh.

at least this means that the next time they need a Don't Forget the Lyrics, i don't need to do another new one for them. :)

SIGH.

anyway, Dance went really well :D even with the lousy stage ala grass patch with random rocks and roots and uneven ground and slippery grass.

i could really feel the energy emanating from everyone! and people watching really enjoyed our performance. which is a really good thing :) after all, we were there to entertain the audience! heheh.

was a little sad that many of my friends missed it though... :( well AT LEAST THERE ARE VIDEOS UP. (though nothing beats a live performance)

i also knocked my head pretty hard against a wall before our performance and it is still swollen and throbbing and affecting my concentration abilities and thinking now.

it could also possibly be the reason for me oversleeping today.

(please note that this blog post was typed on-off across the span of several hours, from early in the morning at 2am till now, almost 7pm)

MOVING ON

the other talentime performances were really good too!

(in chronological order)

Choir: MISSED IT D: was prepping for dance and putting on make-up garrghhh T___T

The Dids: David, Meryn, Mel and WeiNian's band :):):) ahh i love their band musicians!!! i had no idea mervyn could play drums so well! so i INSISTED ON FREE LESSONS. (in exchange for teaching him hiphop dance basics lol.) and omg i didn't know weinian could sing so well either! D: TALENTED PEOPLE.

Individual contestants: were few but pretty good la :) there was one girl with a crazy soprano, like WOW.

Asteria: Sarah's band! oh gosh i'm totally in love with Sarah's voice! she's got this powerful, belting voice that enables her to pull off songs like Paramore's Decode. oh wow it's so awesome to hear her sing, man. and her guitarists are really good too...

Block D: i still can't get lime green and bright yellow bikinis out of my mind when i think about this item. @___@ good gosh talk about DISTURBING.

but i loved their item overall, because almost the entire block was involved! there were dance segments, like this MJ dance segment where Andrew was the "Michael" and totally did COOL SHIT complete with moonwalk, pelvic thrusts, flicks and swings and whatnots. oh and the bollywood dance was ADORABLE too!

Block C's perf made me want to play worms!!!! :D

Block B: AH I LOVE THE SWIMMING PART. oh gosh i love how serious they looked while they were doing such RIDICULOUS things!! XD and Stuck's face of sheer bliss was simply awesome to behold.

after the entire event was over, i went back to the dance studio to open it for people who needed to get stuff, and meet eeshashashasha! <3 oh mervyn came along too, and we carried out HIPHOP LESSON PART I. where basically mervyn just bugged and whined for me to teach him hiphop basics. he actually wants to learn breakdancing as well :O

when i went back outside to check if CEMC needed any help with saigang, they asked me out for (yeah you saw it coming) SUPPERRR. haha. then CEMC + The Dids followed me back to dance studio and totally disrupted Eesha's choreographing session by insisting that they wanted to play Don't Forget the Lyrics since they didn't get to play it during the event XD so yes these people just totally got high in the studio. on air.

supper was funny too, we were all just being lame and high and freakingly glad that it's over. whoooooo

after that was LESSON PART II. this time with more peoplez and not just mervyn. XD

had so much fun last night. a bit too much fun, though. was tired out and couldn't wake up this morning in time to meet my New Media project group GAH D: if not for nisha and her generosity in lending me her printer, my NM group would probably want to chop me up and stew me now @____@

shit i never oversleep la. x(

oh on a side note, there was a power cut/blackout during Philo lecture today, just when Prof Holbo was talking about how people believed the gods would strike them with lightning if they ever melted beeswax (which makes no coherent anyway yup).

so the moment the lights went out, someone totally yelled,

"SOMEBODY MELTED BEESWAX HERE."

xD talk about quick application of lessons learnt during lecture.

-------------------------------------

there are some things which i have had to learn the hard way.

maybe if i just didn't think so much about it and place so much emphasis on it, i wouldn't be so troubled and worked up about it.

if i could just take things easy, and take this particular situation as it comes,

if i could just let things be

instead of trying too hard.

if i lower my expectations to zero, i won't be disappointed anymore.

everything will be better than what i expect it to be.

because my expectations started out at NOTHING.

a lot of the happy things in my life are things i never thought i could possess or experience.

the happiest things happened to me when i didn't expect them to happen at all.

either that or they made me happy because they exceeded my expectations.

either way,

it really doesn't pay to expect too much. or maybe even expect anything at all.

but why do i still do that..?

sometimes the things i do really don't make sense.

why do i sound so serious, man. i intended to make this section of my blog update a rather insightful and pensive account of what i'm thinking.

sometimes, i wish i didn't act like a boy.

but if this is really who i am,

i'd rather be who i am and take this shit

than try to be someone i'm NOT.
