齐聚一堂

星期五那晚,我的两位老婆都齐聚在我家,首次yea!!!好兴奋哦。美中不足的是,星期六我和楚雯有电脑平测,而敏娴有电脑和生物平测。没谈到什么就睡了...但我们谈了一些非常重要的事情,第二晚我们也通过手机谈了好多事哦!
…真是满足完美的一条

没拍下照片,因为我在家穿得超随便的,很丑>< 饮食方面呢?我真希望楚雯回家后会健康回(=体重上升)。星期六早吃早餐的情景仍历历在目,妈妈准备了夹着鸡肉和cheese的两块面包一杯健康五谷饮料Salad(包括1/2颗Avocado,2块生菜和1/2粒番茄).看着他们吃不下却不得不吃的样子,我心理爆笑。老婆们,我的早餐是不是好丰富呢?酱才对吗,我不会胃痛或晕倒=p

老婆们,随时传授高招哦!
(奸笑~)

The Kingdom of Sweets

On the 2nd August,my ballet academy Dance Art held a Ballet Concert entitled "The Kingdom of Sweets" in MaTiC.It is an adaptation of the Nutracker Act II.In the complete version of Nutcracker,there are growing Christmas tree,the Rats,the soldiers and the celebration before Christmas.Clara,the main character saved the Nutcracker Prince from the Mouse King.In appreciation,she was taken to The Kingdom of Sweets,a magical kingdom filled with beautiful and colourful beings.Here,we and the other dancers are performing for our guest Clara.

Definitely I danced in the concert.1st time performing for the Academy!In my memory,the last time i danced ballet in the performance was 9 years ago,when i was in Grade 2.hihi...our group,the Advanced 1 learners danced "Arabian Dance".I m so excited!

this is the programme booklet of "The Kingdom of Sweets".

Before the Concert,we had a few rehearsals in our studio.they were on 25th,26th July and 1st August,which were Saturdays and Sundays.this means that i have ballet lesson on Fri from 9pm till 10.30pm,on the Sat morning continuing studies and tests in ChongHwa,after school rushing for the Rehearsal.Sunday more 'cham',on Monday there was a Biology test which covered 2 chapters.i rmb i brought the note there and studied Chapter 1 transport.As i watched the juniors dancing,i memorised the Structure of Heart:Vena Cava,Atria,Semilunar valve,Ventricles...><

took this photo during rehearsal.i was quite disappointed that i hd no chance to wear tutu during the performance.have u seen Arabian wearing tutu to dance?(sory,the lighting was lousy)
The Big day has finally come!eventually i went for HipHop lesson before heading to the Concert hall.haha...Contemporary VS Elegance.when i reached there,i thot i was late but it seems like there were quite a lot of them havent reached there.did some Warm Up exercises conducted by Teacher Katy,our academy principal.later,we had a Marking Session which the crew members arranged the suitable lightings.had our Final Rehearsal,goin quite smoothly,except for the awkward Sugar Plum Fairies who din come out when it was their turn ==

It was 4pm and it was the time for all the dancers to have our snack/dinner before the concert started.actually,we werent allowed to eat in the hall.the Juniors were all instructed to eat outside the hall,somewhere at the stairs.However,we the seniors ate our self-brought food inside the changing room.we had a wide variety of food:potato bun,red bean fun,4 loaves of Gardenia bread,100 plus,Pepsi,Chips...boohoo,i din eat much although i love pastry so much.

6 of us squeeze in the changing room.Had our hair neatly tied,after this we changed to our costume and did make up.

Right at 7pm,the concert started.the tickets were all sold up but heard tat it wasnt full house.(the late comers must have missed some dances.)Firstly came out the Intermediate Foundation and Grade 5 girls as the SnowFlakes,later Clara came out with The Snow Princess.After that,came the little sugar plum fairies.The cutest dancers' (as the little snowflakes)turn to perform.Our youngest Pre-primary babies/ballerinas came out with their tiny white tutus!i think they got the loudest applause from the audience.Chinese Dance,Miriliton dance!performed by my former classmates.theirs was nice.Spanish Dance,by a Lawyer+Ballet teacher+ Dancer Natalie.she performed naturally while arrogantly.Nice!Before the Interval,there comes the Arabian Dance...

Wearing our different colour Belly-dancing liked pants,sleeveless top with gold beads,gold headdress,gold bangles n POINTE SHOES,six of us faced the background of the stage.we started our dance after a few bars of music was played.did quite smoothly at first,but suddenly the bangles which supposed to be adhered on my upper arm dropped.OMG!eventually it interupted me and i did not turn a nice piroutte.(according to my bro,i looked like i was falling down due to imbalance)later i was a bit nervous due to the bangles and did not reli enjoy dancing..din think tat if i had pointed my feet,streched my knees,bent my arm and twisted my waist elegantly anot T.T

six of us,the Arabian Dancers(upper row from left:Sandy,Suyin,PeiJean and Priscilla;Lower row:ME and Su-Anne)


Tambourine Dance,Trepak,Character,and finally Sugar Plum Fairy Dance,which is the most well known among the dances.it was performed by Teacher Bee Hong.The last dance before Finale was Coda performed by Pei Wun and Bee Hong.both of them have much experiences dancing and won prizes in Competition b4!they danced well on Pointe.finally,came the Finale where every dancers have to come out perform.this time,i used Masking Tape to stick the stupid bangle on my arm.This time despite the dropping of Right bangle,My Left bangle fell!!!!so Malang.luckily i could dance better this time.

The dances ended.Teacher Katy came out and had a short speech.She thanked to the cheorographers,crews,soloist and the dancers.Then,she invited the President of The Dance Society of Malaysia,Mr.Sunny Chan came up to the stage to talk a few words.He commented tat our cheorography was simple and yet it shows the best of our ability.quite +ve comments ya.hihi...

Special Thanks to Miss.Priscilla who helped me so much for the Concert.She lent me the Nude Leotard,helped me to buy fake eyelashes,bought us the gold beads and the Most IMPORTANT,she helped me to Make-up.she as an experienced ballet teacher and dancer is only 22 this year.she start to teach after STPM.she was so generous and helpful.I love her so much!!!thanks!she advised us to learn make-up by ourselves,"as a dancer,we must learn how to makeup,"she said."when u r goin to perform other places else,no one will help u!".she also stressed tat we need to have THICK make up for stage performance,which resulted in the following picture...

c,my make up was such Thick!!i couldnt even remove the thick black eyeliner using both Vaseline and Lotion.Anyway,thanks so much for Priscilla's help!
I promise myself to stop going for Ballet Lesson after Ballet Concert until SPM ends,which means i m goin oni starting Next Year.I will definitely miss the dance,teachers and classmates.PeiJean and Priscilla is taking Advanced 1 exam this year!hope that they will pass it with flying colours.
Meanwhile,the Discipline teacher allows me to grow long hair as i m going 2continue dancing.Yesterday,i aimed to concentrate in study but SUDDENLY we heard the announcement that the school is closing for 1 week.BOO~this leads to uncountable homework and exams which should be passed up when school reopens ><>
GOOD LUCK everybody!
p/s:Wynne said that i looked nice yesterday,my eyes looked bright!it's bcz of my unremovable Dark Eyeliner around my eyes i guess.Din they looked like they were punched by somebody?I sincerely think that i look nicer/prettier when i dun make up.

Just like this,AGREE?
