it's over.
e wks of intense (euphemism for insane) practices, e hrs of waiting on e day itself.
i'm proud of all dancers. njc dance inc.
i'm proud of western dance. + alumni
i'm proud of us.
i'm proud to DANCE.
despite mess ups, we'd all put in our best, and i'm proud of it.
on stage we expressed, felt; we were ourselves.
i'm feeling alot for and after this performance. i guess it's because:
1) of e beautiful and heartfelt item(s) i did
i.e. mr gn's 'remember'. out of e 3 items i did, i felt i cld relate to it most. guess it's e choice of songs, and steps. sweet, and graceful. although i was panting like crazy aft it.
2) of e entire rushed journey towards it
we (insanely) decided to do a new item by dan after syf. and we had only 3 wks proper. plus dan took 1wk holiday. so yea. but i enjoyed doing tt item, really. new experience.
3)it's highly possible tt this is my LAST official dance concert
i still want to dance. e first thing tt entered my head when it was all over yst was "i hav to start studying nw."
tt's not it. i wont b part of a dance concert anymore. unless i come back as alumnus nxt yr, or i join a dance class outside tt puts up concerts.
okay i am trying to console myself with e fact tt i'm still dancing for syf opening. i think aft THAT i'l really crumble. because i'l not dance until nov. i donno if i can take it.
dance has become like O2 to me.
sighh.
i'm becoming emo-ey again. but i'll leave narration of 26th may to other ppl; it can be done by dancers and non-dancers alike.
i didnt take much photos this yr, but those who took with me, please send them over! i'll then upload them.
i'l like to take e opportunity to thank all who have made aristal 2007 a beautiful memory and journey alike:
