so yesterday was the dance + string concert.
all our hard work was really paid off!
thank goodness.
okay so i shall just abit bout the stuffs happening backstage. haha.




we reached vt at about nine.
then from then on, ms chiam called out certain scenes to test out the lighting stuffs.
other than that,
we were just slacking around behind.
and since our dressing room was near this big big mirror and some tv,
we all hanged out there(=
even the malay dancers, whose dressing room was upstairs(poor thing) came down and we had fun fun fun!
haha.
but we had to put on our cat costume the whole time.
uncomfortable shite =/



AFTER ALL THAT.
we ran through the whole thing once.
as in literally just run through everything!
tsk. it didnt really feel good. cos like, none of us were warmed up and stuff.
me jamie and bel really didnt know how to play with the box. haha.
we were actually supposed to put toilet roll inside and pretend to play with it,
but then duno what happened lah. so yeah.
it was DAMN lame!




at ONE PLUS.
we had our lunch,
at the basement.
eeee the environment was so not right.
but i guess we werent allowed to eat in our dressing rooms.
who knows why. ahaha.
but still =p
i regretted buying only ONE packet of doritos lah.
should have bought like what, five?! haha.



then it was time to do our hair and stuff.
while string practised on stage.
jamie really shows no mercy.
the way she pull people's hair ah. WL damn pain lah!
haha but i know she was having fun. shitass.
after that cos i was really bored,
i was watching ONE TREE HILL and LAGUNA BEACH on Joy's ipod video.
wah joy ah.
ipod nano lah. ipod video lah.
can always give me one, you know =p
haha nah kidding.
yeah so i was really caught up watching all the videos in the dressing room.
where ruth and angeline dimmed the lights,
and they were like trying to cry?!
haha really nothing better to do lah those two.





at about three-ish.
we had one last rehearsal.
i remembered standing on the stage, and like just looking down at all the empty seats.
i was like shaking lah. haha i guess the nerves were getting to me.
luckily everything went okay during the rehearsal.




then we started on make-up.
cos all the white cats were being painted first,
i was just roaming around aimlessly.
and i kept looking at that big clock near the stairs.
watching the second hand go tick tick tick.
haha.
then i went back to the dressing room,
some stuff happened
omgee i was so shocked lah okay =s
then finally me and jamie went up to start on our make-up.
i waited like forever can, just sitting by the door.
and ms foo was like so bored sitting there too. lol.
i think the guy who also helped out with the make up was ms chiam's hubby?
im not too sure.
but i heard he does make up for SDT.
COOL(=
then when it came to the black cats makeup,
jessie did hers first cos she was a persian cat.
and when i saw her face,
i wanted to scream okay.
IT WAS ALL BLACK.
like okay not all, MOSTLY BLACK.
i was like no no no no))=
our full dress rehearsal makeup was so much nicer.
the brick red colours and stuff. boo.
so yeah,
my face obviously turned out like that too.
sigh i was so sad lah.
haha and i was telling shi hua i dun feel sexy anymore.
cos no more sexy makeup.
LOL.




after that,
the audience was already starting to come into the auditorium.
AND EVERYTHING WAS GOING CRAZY BACKSTAGE.
okay not crazy. just like mad high crazy?
haha okay you get my point.
then near the big big mirror, there was this tv
where we could see all the people at the foyer coming into the auditorium.
haha we were like crazy shitheads okay,
pointing to the tv and stuff
'oh look thats (bla bla bla!)'
'OMG what is ( bla bla bla) wearing?!'
'ehhh she came!'
'I SEE MY FRIENDS!'
haha the dancers were going CRAZY.
and so was i actually.
lol.
i was like jumping up and down in front of the mirror.
and doing our carnival item in my cat outfit.
haha DAMN HIGH.
then after i sorta calmed down,
i just stood in front of the tv, looking and looking
and i saw this whole clang of people.
then jamie was like NAAAAATTTTTT!
and i was like WHAAAATTTTT?!
then she started squeezing and hugging and i duno doing what to my waist.
then i looked back at the tv,
and i was like
OHHHHHHHHH! i see now.
haha that shitass.




i heard alot of people were laughing at the emceees?
haha how come?
but actually, i think the tall one spoke in a kinda funny slang way.
lol.
i think string did a great job(=



then when the interval came,
and once the curtains closed.
all the dancers started running around the stage
putting props,
stretching and everything.
and we could hear the crowd outside lah.
haha SO NOISY!
then dana nat jana appeared onstage.
with their malay costumes and wigs.
i was like OH MY GOD!
haha and dana was screaming cos she was so glad to be 'reunited'
yay(=
we all said our good lucks and gave hugs.
the cats had a really good group hug. haha.



before we knew it,
THE SHOW STARTED.




once the curtain opened,
annabel was like
'omg NAT. so many people!'
and i refused refused to look at the audience at first.
haha i didnt want to feel even more nervous than i already was =s
it felt weird at first. acting as cat.
lol but we slowly opened up and it felt better(=
eunice said i kept swinging my tail =p
aiya! i got nothing else to do what. haha.
then this cheeky jamie,
kept giving me the cheeky face,
she's such a cheeky cat. LOL.
so the show went on
everything was fine..



TILL.
the goodnight part.
where i was like rushing backstage
IN THE DARK, MIND YOU.
trying to change into my pointe shoes from my jazz shoes.
then suddenly, while i was stretching.
i heard this noise.
and i was like
oh. my. god.
i looked down,
MY COSTUME TORE LAH!
yeah it was quite a big hole. near my thigh area.
then i started to panic like hell.
thank goodness for joy nat and zan.
THANKS YOU GUYS(=
they really helped me like get over the 'trauma'
haha okay fine i know its not really a trauma.
but can you just imagine,
to tear your costume in the middle of a performance.
and how embarrassing it would be.
omgee.



then i heard something someone said,
okay i cant remember who said it?
yeah. but it kept me going(=
so i went down straight to the audience for the interaction part.
HAHA damn funny lah.
i remembered standing at the isle,
then i saw this group of girls staring at me.
so i slowly slowly turned my head,
body not moving.
and like OPENING MY EYES TILL I COULD FEEL THEM POPPING OUT.
and they all immediately shut their eyes with their hands.
LOL i was scary huh =p
then!
i went to row K.
at first i couldnt recognise anyone.
okay maybe it was too dark or something.
but i found my friends somehow haha.
then i spotted yaya, she was like looking behind at i duno what.
so cos there was this empty seat in front of her,
i got on that seat and
ROAR!
hahahahaha.
i still remember her expression. HAHA.




damn cool(=



all the other dances were okay lah.yeah.
people told me they liked the fight part(=
YAY.
