eat bread...drink coffee

it only dawned on me while walking to school yesterday that chinese dance will be officially over for me once we step off the stage that night. And that fact has really sunk in now that i've received the training schedule for next week from the j1 exco. No we dont need to go for pracs! Cant imagine what it'll be like to be able to go home early everyday.

I wasnt feeling that sad on friday night actually. Somehow i was in a pretty bad mood and didnt feel that sad that dance was going to end in less than 24 hours. The mood at dance night wasnt that great and footloose really felt like just another performance.

Even as saturday came, the fact didnt sink in yet. But just before dance night as we were all sitting down together warming up and talking, xinying said some stuff and a few people started tearing. We were immediately like "OH NO!! CANNOT CRY NOW...CRY LATER! LATER MAKE UP RUN! LOOK AWAY LOOK AWAY!! DONT CRY!" So soon we went on stage and the time just flew past. After zu2 meng4, ran back, quick change into feifei costume and down the j2s (with a few j1s) went to put up our last performance. CLIMAX COMING...Weiwei laoshi couldnt make it to saturday's performance initially. But during acknowledgement at finale, we were quicked surprised why xinying and ivy went up with flowers when her name was mentioned and suddenly we saw her on stage. Then immediately we started jumping and teared right there on stage. Guess it really meant that much to us that she saw the SYF item put up for the last time and for all the effort and guidance that she had given us for the past year. Before the curtain even finished closing we just ran to hug each other and mass-brawling session started. After that I walked up the stairs with some other dancers and suddenly realised...werent we suppose to stay on stage to meet or something. It's this feeling that u dont want to leave the stage. Coz i dunno when i'll get to perform again. I dunno if i showed it, but i really really enjoyed dancing up there with my fellow chinese dancers up there the last two nights.

I dont really know how to say it and I realised that im usually really quiet and dont say much insightful stuff during talking/reflection sessions with the dancers. But truthfully, i really enjoyed and cherish the time training and hanging out with all of u gals. It's amazing how a group of 16 people from different schools, different ccas, different degree of dance background can come together and click so well together. As in...so extremely well. I'll really miss all our trainings together, the mugging sessions and just simply talking crap with one another. I'll miss dancing. But i really miss working and hanging out with all the dancers alot more. Of course we'll still see each other in school. But it'll prob never be as often as before. During show and tell session in class, i didnt realise directly that what i mentioned about the fan showed the value of friendship that means so much to me. It's just right that 16 wooden pieces join our fans together. Dance night may be over and we'll all be down to mugging pretty soon. But the time spent together during the past year or so has really been great and made my JC life that much enjoyable. I've said this before. Dance pracs have been tough, but seeing u gals make pracs so much more bearable.

Im really proud to be dancer of ZU-MENG, a dancer of FEIFEI and most of all..
A RJ CHINESE DANCER!
