When I look at this picture (see below), I was so envious! Although its not perfectly well placed, I never had a picture like that when I was young (not now even). I believe this student will treasure this picture.



Realised that I was so busy these few months, I have not been dancing at all! Oh dear, my bones feel stiff. How to wear pointe shoes to take photos next monday? Oh no! *nervous*

AND I haven't finished all my dances for the concert!! *nervous*

AND I haven't finished makeing half of my hair accessories for this concert! *nervous*

Yeeks... have to buck up and stop playing the RAT game!

Sister bought me so many presents! heee

First, I would like to thank SAM, LIPEI, DARLING SISTER and JEAN for showing so much support throughout the preparation and TODAY!

I'm so OVERYJOYED!! Both my solos won medals in the 9th Asia Pacific dance competition! Both K and M was so supportive of each other and the 3 of us were so emotional backstage. First, K did her solo beautifully and sharply. I'm so extremely proud that our hardwork paid off! I broke into tears (was so moved and touched) when Mindy performed her solo SO confidently and emotionally on stage. After both of them performed, I told myself no matter what happens, they have both done their best and they are winners in my heart. So you can imagined how overjoyed I am when BOTH of them won!

Group dance was also perfect! I really think they should win but the Judge thought otherwise!! Let the messy and noisy group win! What to do, I'm not the judge. haha. But gals, I really think you did wonderfully today! EXCELLENT!

A little "technical" error happened at the prize presentation ceremony. Mrs T announced the wrong name!! It should have been M but she went to read another girl's name! SO OFF!!! And the gal took all the glory that is rightfully M's!! So unfair and PISSED! and that girl is Ms N's student! What a small world. Never mind la, let her be happy lor! But we all knew who won! :D

I actually shed tears of joy after all my gals finished dancing. And I was "hidding in" Sam's shoulder cause all my gals were just sitting next to me! Sorry i need to praise myself a little bit here now! Winning or losing didn't matter that much to me but of course I still kind of want to win after putting in SO much effort! After feeling proud of my girls, I think I'm a little proud of myself too.. kekeke... My work (be it choice of dance, costume, music, choreography) is recognised on an Asia Pacific level! I'm floating nowwwww................ woooooooo

Wooooo... trial make up & fitting done! Now have to meet up with the florist! What flower should I get? What flower should I put on my hair. SO many to choose from. Should I take the photos with pointe shoes? I haven't been dancing for so long!! I do not know where to go for the outdoor shoot. So many things to settle and decide. Headz blowing........



Me!

I thought I was pretty cool about the competition. But I was wrong. For some reason I felt a little nervous after the rehearsal and the nervousness is getting stronger.... I hate that feeling!

I was very pleasantly surprised by the group dance cuz they managed to do their formation VERY nicely despite having only using the stage twice! Very proud of them. :D BUT NO SMILE from ANYONE!! :( :( :( This could well cost their win! Costumes look pretty nice on stage. SMILE MORE, gals!! *fingers cross*

Mindy was super nervous! But she still manged to dance her steps gracefully and won BIG cheering and applause from ME and Louisa's mum! Mindy: Try to relax, be confident of yourself! You can do it!! *fingers cross*

Kaihui's solo was well done but with no SMILE! :( After looking at the solos side by side... finally agreed that Hui's solo was slightly stronger. BIG applause from ME again! Kaihui: SMILE!! and rise on the arabesque on STRAIGHT knee! You look like a dancing princess when you smile. *fingers cross*

B kept commenting that my costumes was so lovely!! *blush* keke

Parents must be thinking why is this Ms Lovell applausing like a crazy fan?!! hahahah Lipei, Sam and Jean must do the same ok? Too bad my darling sista [who is in the NTU cheerleading team is still on her way home from US!!! :( ]



*FINGERS DOUBLY TRIPLY CROSSED* ALL the best gals!!!

Attended a wonderful wedding yesterday. My dear friend Vee is married and moving to NY! Wishing her happy marriage and honeymoon! And I saw Joan Lim at the wedding too!
