Holidays~

So after concert was over and done with, my daily schedule opened up and I was free practically every day. Well, I am free practically every day now.. XD Haha.. Don't think I'm feeling bored yet though! I mean, there' are loads of things to do!

You can read a book! :)
(I'm always complaining about not having time to read but when the holidays come I never seem to remember about it)
Since "For One More Day" is still stuck with wyie, *sob sob* I decided to read another book I borrowed from her! Sophie Kinsella's "The Undomestic Goddess!"

Well, I love her books. Even though shopaholic Becky gets on my nerves every time. Haha... But I did LOVE every bit of "Can you keep a secret"!!! :)

Anyway, the book's about Samantha, genius lawyer who makes one mistake, which involves 50 million pounds *gasp*, and losses her job. Runs away from reality, and gets hired to be a housekeeper by mistake. Note: she doesn't even know how to toast bread. Let alone use an iron.. HAHA~
Of course, disaster happens, but slowly she learns how to clean a house and COOK! with the help of the oh-so-perfect-guy (the gardener)'s mother.

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

A single tear rolls down my cheek and I wipe it away roughly. I'm not going to cry in front of Iris.

'I don't know who I am.' I exhale, more calmly. 'Or what my goal is...or where I'm headed in life. Or anything.'

My energy's gone and I sink down on the dry grass. A few moments later Iris comes and squats down beside me.

'It doesn't matter,' she says, her voice soft. 'Don't beat yourself up for not knowing all the answers. You don't always have to know who you are. You don't have to have the big picture, or know where you're heading. Sometimes it's enough just to know what you're going to do next.'

For a while I don't say anything. I let her words run through my head, like cool water on a headache.

'And what am I going to do next?' I say at last, with a hopeless shrug.

'You're going to help me shell the beans for lunch.' She sounds so matter-of-fact I can't help half smiling.

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

That's pretty comforting, isn't it? :)


Haha.. The morning after I started the book:
7am, My younger sis woke up for school and found me and my panda eyes, still up reading it. Haha~~

"Did you sleep?!"
"heh heh... No..?"
"I knew it! You have horrible eye bags!"

YIKES! Haha... Damn, I read wayyy too slow. XD

FAB concert '07

"I loved your item!"

Cat's mum said yesterday before they left. I was delighted! Haha~~
No idea what I'm talking about? :) Well, feast your eyes on this!


I choreographed a dance~!! (item 14) Haha.. My very first! And it feels great when people tell me they enjoyed it! THANK YOU!~ *feeling over the moon*

Hehe... Anyway, I've got to say, this year's concert was most definitely the BEST concert ever for me. It still feels a little funny. I choreographed a dance. XD Haha.. Who knew I'd actually be able to do that? Though I have to thank my ballet friends for being so enthusiastic all the time! Hehe~~

Sunday, after going for rehearsals and classes EVERYDAY that week other than Monday, I decided to give my dancers(Hahaha~~ XD) and myself a break. Didn't have a rehearsal in the morning. I think everyone would've screamed at me if I suggested. Haha~~ Though, I did ask everyone to arrive earlier so that we could rehearse on stage. :) We were the first ones there... HAHA~~ The stage, all to ourselves! Wait, no, the DRESSING ROOM ALL TO OURSELVES!

Carmen and Charmaine, strolling in. Early early early, plenty of time. Look, we're not even ready! Haha~~ My fingers were itching, so I took a picture. :)

After we marked our spacing for... was it, the 4th time? Jason came and we did his dance. Whoop! It was a good thing we were early because everyone wanted to use the stage after. *phew*

Soon, we started getting ready. :)

Elaine, putting on SUPER LONG fake eyelashes for me...
Note: I am CLUELESS on makeup. Thanks to everyone who helped hopeless little me.. HAHA~~!! XD

Jason, touching up for Charmaine. :) Hehe... I didn't need touching up. Thanks to Elaine. Teehee~

Then some people complained that they were hungry and please could I go get food because I'm the choreographer. Hmm... Never done this before, so I dragged Raymond along and guess what I found?!?!?!?!?!

A plastic bag with sandwiches inside and MY NAME ON IT! WHOA! I HAVE MY NAME ON A PLASTIC BAG! I HAVE MY VERY OWN PLASTIC BAG!!! Haha... yes, I'm overacting. But I mean, how many times do you see your NAME on a plastic bag with FOOD inside for YOUR dancers?!?! Haha... I went on and on about it when I got back.

"Should I KEEP the plastic bag!?!??!?"
I think everyone thought I was crazy. HAAHA~~

Well, I didn't.

At least I got a picture! HAHA~~ PROOF.

It was so nerve wrecking waiting for our turn to get on stage. But first, prize giving. Haha.. Which reminds me, I never did see Lyvia after the concert. XD She didn't believe me when I said I choreographed the dance we were dancing in. HAHA~~ Told her to listen to the announcement after. What an irony that they didn't announce my dance right so she wouldn't have known. XD Oh well~

I heard screams when I went out. HAHA~~!! Thanks for screaming. XD

3 dances after the intermission and it was our turn. YIKES!! SO SOON!?
After hearing the wrong title being announce for my dance, *wince* and a very very VERY loud "I LOVE YOU CHARMAINE!!" scream from the audience, which Charmaine didn't hear... XD we began dancing. Don't know why my legs felt soooo tired for my dance. But soon enough it was over and we rushed to change for Jason's.

Then, it was over.

I felt soooo CRAZY HAPPY after the concert ended on Sunday. The ending was PERFECT for my dance and Jason's dance, "POSE" was AWESOOOMMMEEE~~!! No accidents, no faults, PERFECT. It felt GOOOOD. REAL GOOD. :)

I was a little annoyed that my dance got announced wrongly though.
Anyway, I didn't expect my name to be called out when they were naming the choreographers so I was pretty surprised when I heard "Ng Li Ee" out of nowhere.

"WHAT!? WHAT?!?!?"
"GO! GO GO GO!!!" Carmen and Angeline pushed me along and the audience saw a little balloon bobbing out to the front. Haha.. Felt a little awkward standing next to Ms. Beh and the tap teacher. Couldn't help smiling. I must've looked pretty silly! Then the little girls came out with flowers, I got a bunch too and HAHA~~ Charmaine and Wee Nie came to me with a HUGE BALLOON!!!! WOW! I....was laughing so hard. They told me this morning they got 2 balloons. I thought they were for Jason. Didn't think one would be for me.. XD THANK YOU!

"Now you'll have to wear that balloon too."
The tap teacher said to me. HAHA~~~ XD Yeah.

Then it was picture taking, balloon and wig removing and packing then home. I was smiling all the way back. haha~~ HAPPY~~

Now, pictures!~
Jason, myself, Raymond and Angeline~ See the strings attached to our necks? Yes, those were balloons. Haha~~ You can actually see a little of mine.. XD

Will post up a picture of all of us when I get it!! :)

Anyway, mum and sis. Haha~~ For always thinking I can do anything. :) Thank you~!
Too bad my younger sis had tuition! I just know she'd have loved a picture with me in that wig. Hehe~~

Chris and Flo! I'm SOOOOOOOO GLAD you came to watch!!! :)
Thanks Chris for saying you liked mine best! I hope you weren't lying!! XD

Haha.. Thanks for coming too, Keat!~

Alvin and Lil came too~! HAHA! I'm taller than Lilian in this picture, even though she's wearing heels because I'm on pointe!!!!!! BWAHAHAHA~~!!!!

Finally, a picture of my HUUUUUUGE BALLOON!

THANK YOU! I LOOOOOVE IT! :) It's the biggest balloon I've ever gotten in my entire life! Haha.. I can't even touch my other hand when I hug it. XD

And the little messages my dancers *cough* my friends I mean! left me. Hehe~
Thanks for putting up with this CRAZY choreographer. Haha.. What with the "look beyond the horizon!!!" and "I want you to EXPLODE!!!" directions I've given you, I think you girls are just, wonderful.

Wee Nie the POOH. Haha~~ *muacks!!* You're soooo cute~!

SUSU~~!!! Never knew you were THAT clumsy till now. XD

I can actually hear Elaine saying this... XD Love you too, elaine~

Angeline~! Thanks for giving me all that advice! :)

NUTZ! XD Thanks for giving me all the IDEAS. HAHA~~ And always being sooooo excited about it.


Thank you tomato!~ That means a lot to me. Hehe~~
I'm soooo proud of you! You touched the floor! XD *teehee* Only we'll know what that means. :)

Hehe... I LOVE ALL OF YOU TO BITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for dancing for me~!


Hmm... I wonder if I should buy new shoes. Haha.. I've been using my first ever pair for years. They look tired and worn out. Hehe.. Thank you, shoes~!

So you think you can dance

I am in love with so many of the dances right now I can't stand it but to SHARE! Haha~~
Watch and be BLOWN AWAY!!!!

First, Pasha and Sara - Westcoast Swing

DOMINIC AND SABRA, my favourite couple, with a hip hop routine!! They have SOOO much chemistry!~~~~


Hehe.. Shan't put too many videos today.
Will blog about my ballet concert, which was last Saturday and Sunday soon!!~ :)

Bon Odori

So I went for bon odori last Saturday.
Was fun, but makes me miss xuxu, somehow. :)

Anyway, look at the Japanese people I met!!! XD


Haha.. Okay okay, they're my sis and her friends. :)
Enthusiastic bunch, don't you think? (drats, I'm kinda short. XD)

Hopefully I'll be back again next year to go for it again! Hehe.. I don't know why, even though it's nothing much, I always enjoy going for bon odori. Heh.

Surprise~!

So Florence told me she was coming over today because she wanted to give me something. I was very excited. It's been a while since I last saw her!

Woke up close to 11am, (slept reeeaaalllyyyy late yesterday) hoping she didn't already come and left. *wince* She didn't. She arrived and we went up to my room to talk. Then suddenly, she said,

"Okay, now we have to play a little game of hide and seek."

"What?!"

And we started walking downstairs.

"What am I looking for???"

"Umm... Living things."

Wasn't sure what to expect. Haha~~ I asked my elder sis if she saw anything out of place, but she didn't answer me. Hmmm... Then there was a "Shhhhhh!!!"

*GASP!!!*

Hehe... First living thing I saw was a foot in the guest washroom. Shrek, you should have bent your knees!! Your feet aren't that short! Hehe~~ I screamed when I saw Shrek and Si Yi chilling in there.

"There's more." Florence said.

"What?! How many more are there!?!?"

I squealed when I saw Darell and Elaine hiding behind the couch! HAHAHAA~~ I thought I had found everyone.

"There's STILL some more." XD!!

Yi Ning screamed either "hello!" or "hi!" when I got to the next room. I jumped. HAHA~~ You scared me!! Christine came out of hiding too. :) Haha... That sure was one fun game of hide and seek!! XD

THANKS FOR SURPRISING ME LIKE THAT YOU GUYS~!!!

Was great having you over. Hehee~~ Too bad everyone had to leave so soon. *sigh*
But it was fun. It was nice seeing everyone in the same room again. It's been a while.. Haha~~ Which reminds me, WHERE IS YINGXU!?! :)

Wondering how you all got in without me knowing... Sneaky little people. Hehe..

P.s. Thanks for the very unique 'treasure box', Shrek! Love it.
