书山有路勤为径
学海无涯苦作舟

却仍书到用时方恨少。。哀啊哀。。。

Just came back from Suntec Kuishin Bo and a whole load of fun! Met Seng, Yanhao, Zichun and Ben for a sumptuous meal.. well at least to me :P I've been yearning to go Kuishin Bo since ages ago.. and FINALLY! its here. was so super happy la.. I guess they were kinda reluctant(cos its pricey!) but went in nevertheless.. hee :D YIPPIE!!
Looking at the plateful of sashimi and chawamushi and the teppanyaki..etc etc.. wooh.. i ate for just 2hours non stop! :P *I'm quite a glutton hur hur hur* bleah!
And just when the guys pronounced K.O. I just continue eating though i wasted quite a fair bit of food too... :X O well..
Then we went Arcade.. played daytona, bishy bashy, throw basketball.. o and DDR!!! hahah can you believe it! i guess everyone has a kid in us..especially when we come face to face with our childhood games, the things we like to do, things that thrill us, things that can be as simple as eating our favourite food or throwing basketballs in the arcade....money doesnt matter anymore.. image doesnt too.. What mattered were the smiles worn on our faces and the time we spent together. Those became the most precious things. And behold, these are in particular, priceless literally... What matters at the end of the day is the friendship built...even if it was built on a silly speech error like 'sor-bet'... =)

Hey there people, I've just a few reflections to share with everyone, so please bear with me for a bit k?

I'm sure every one of you has something to take away from Dance Production 07/08, new friends and supper buddies (fongseng & milopeng HAHA), plenty of memories that will stay with each and every one of you, be it good, bad, happy or sad, it's all part and parcel of the experience that DP brings about each year. And i sincerely hope that the DP bug has bitten you so bad...that ALL of you will be back next year for a whole new DP, a whole new experience once again!!

I know some of you never imagined that you would end up as a dancer for DP when you first stepped into hall, maybe it was peer pressure that led you to turn up for the auditions, on a "see what happens" basis. And look what happened? All of you turned out just fine, with tonnes of comical moments, not to mention SLUTTY moments that made the tough & tiring practices so much more manageable, so much more bearable. Truly, all of you should be proud of the improvements that you have made over the past few months, with all the time, efforts and sacrifices along the way, it was all worth it at the end, when we took our final bow on stage. And you know, at that point in time, the disappointments, the pain, the long hours, the scoldings, the bruises, the times when you just couldn't nail a particular move or keep in timing and you felt like giving up, all these and more....I'm pretty darn sure they just didn't matter any longer. And that... is simply the magic of DP. Now you feel it, now you understand it! And I hope that all the freshies and remaining seniors help to spread this magic to the new batch of freshies next year for DP, to bring them in and let them experience the "eunique" flavour of Eusoff Dance Production, a one of a kind experience that you can't find anywhere else!

To the graduating seniors, I hope that you have enjoyed your last hurrah as a dancer/choreographer, and that you will be back for next year's DP, either to choreo or simply lend us your support as alumni ya?? Thanks so much for everything

To Joe & Elfie, thanks so much for hanging in there, and giving Changyung & I so much help and assistance when we needed it, and kicking our butts when we needed it badly!! DP 07/08 would never have succeeded without your efforts, so please know that we really appreciate you guys, and a BIG thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Really.

To the choreographers, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules, and agreeing to choreo for DP, despite knowing that the process would be long and potentially draining in more ways than one. Thank you for your efforts in coming up with choreography that blended in with the rest of the production so perfectly, and thank you for keeping your faith in us, even when things got really tough at times, you guys just never gave up and simply pushed us on to another level. It takes a hell lot of persistence and you guys have got tonnes of it, so kudos to you all!!! Special mention to Siding, Margie, Xilin & Betty, who are no longer in hall with us, but still agreed to come back to choreo, thank you for your efforts ya???? Next year again la!!! =))

To all dancers, thank you for making all of this possible. You may not think that you have done much, but trust me, every single bit counts, and it has made this year's production an absolute blast. Be proud of yourselves, that you can call yourself a Eusoff Dancer, and you have earned that right to be one!

All right, I guess thats about it, and I'll see you all next year once again!!

To end off, let me quote our beloved producer Elfie: "WE LOVE DP!!!!"

Cheers!

DP ended. so abruptly.. Love is in the Heir, still...

"One thing I ask of you...One thing I know its true.." plays again and again in my mind.. the "Hairspray" song repeats over and over and my little body skips a little when it comes to the 'oooo ooo ooo ooo" part... its time for the mass dance. The dance steps for freda's dance, Grace Chii Tang's dance, instructions for our expressions, the different parts to be sharp and hit, the essence of the dance move like Grace said, the queue to act as maids, cleaning or being scolded, "the call for celebration" and we walk down the aisle in our black wizard cloak with metallic blue mask and torch..... flash across my mind all the time since the show ended...

I don't wan it to end.. not here. not now... i want to keep dancing for Eusoff DP.. but it has to. I'm proud..very proud to be one of the dancers, to be part of the production, part of Eusoff DP history! And this year, we impressed Hall.. and we're going to get our budget from Hall.. DP no longer an adhoc project..no longer a self funded project..subsidised at least. And a million thanks to everyone who were involved one way or another. It was definitely a great SUCCESS! thanks to the producers whose sleepless nights and coffee and cigarettes were paid off..Joe, Charmaine, Elfie :)

Now.. back to school..No longer a dancer but full time undergrad.. gotta catch up with all the lessons that i've missed for DP and pull my CAP up...(again). oh well. Need to start staying in the library and focus.. guess that's the hardest thing to do. To use my time wisely lest i be named a useless steward of God's property :x hee

About IHG... badminton girls lost... at the semis. i was kinda dejected. I took in 4 imports but i fail to deliver.. I'm sorry Eusoff.. we have never fail to make it to the finals and now with me leading the girls team this yr.. we failed. Didn't even get to meet TH. I don't know how to face Shawn really... to think that they were so nice to me. I dunno what to do... facing my own IVP team mates... captaining my IVP captain and vice cap, knowing they were more experienced than me.. frankly i was pretty fearful and stressed about ihg badminton, knowing my EQ and choice of words and tone were never very sensitive and "PRish".. I'm glad my team mates put up with my nonsense and bad organization. Was very disoriented. Basically... I felt that I was just a lousy captain. Sorry girls....

Hmm..cork ups here and there.. but its over. I'm glad though... things are gonna start anew(sort of) and I've learnt much along the way..got to know more ppl and understand more things. Thank God. He has made all things possible and good in His time. Amen.
