YOG Opening Ceremony (spoiler alert!)
location : the computer mood : excited/worried tomorrow : YOG Opening Ceremony :D
hello
unless you have been living under a rock for the past two years, you will know that Singapore won the bid to host the inaugural Youth Olympic Games 2010(YOG) in 2008, and tomorrow, 14 August, is the official start of YOG 2010. and if you have been an avid reader of this blog, you will know that i'm performing for the Opening Ceremony tomorrow.
*CAN YOU TELL I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED NOW????!!!!!! AHH!!!!* :D
i told you guys that i will tell you which items i'm in nearer to the date in a previous post, so if you are going tomorrow to watch the Opening Ceremony or you have already watched the previews, look out for me in these items :D
1. Prelude -i'm wearing blue tights in this dance as they wanted more people to wear tights. the tights are in a blue that no one else has, so it's quite easy to spot me. and i'm also wearing a jumper kind of thing that's in like a jean material. oh, and i'm on the left side of the main stage from the audience view.
2. Flash Mob - still wearing the same thing. still around the same area. and this is the item where they start televising the show to the world. the previous item was somewhat the pre-show for the audience. and the song is I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas :D
3. Origins - now we start wearing costumes. the item is about the changes in decades in Singapore, like what it's like in the 60's and 70's and so on till now, the 21st century, so there is a remix of old songs with new ones, like Mambo Jambo and La Bamba until Nobody and Tik Tok. and cos Singapore is a multi-racial country, we are wearing different costumes from different races. i'm wearing some kind of granny outfit, to represent the Chinese (it's given randomly), and honestly, i think it's hilarious wearing it to dance Nobody. but no one has criticised yet, so i think it's okay ;D
4. Semaphore/Bud - this is some kind dance showing distress signals. we are standing on the ring, the semicircle thingy at the back of the stage, and we are waving flags to show different emergency messages. the first message is "SOS", then we spell "FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION". we are wearing some hoodies and baggy pants, and we look like rappers. then when the music changes for Bud, we go backstage on the ring (it's hard to describe), and we take some kind of Balinese flag/wing-like thingy and go back onto the ring, waving the thingy.
rehearsals are fun, and i am definitely gonna miss this experience i'm gonna take pictures tomorrow, behind-the-scenes, and possibly post them on facebook. oh, and i lost my semaphore outfit pants. my mom told me this morning when she washed my costumes last night. i completely freaked out, cos the show's tomorrow. and i also had exams this morning and this completely affected my concentration. but i already SMSed my teacher and she will help me ask around if anyone took mine while we were changing.
okay, this is getting way too long and i'm starting to ramble. hope see you tomorrow! :D

Teenage Dream
Teenage Dream Katy Perry You think I'm pretty Without any makeup on You think I'm funny When I tell the punchline wrong I know you get me So I let my walls come down, down
Before you met me I was a wreck but things Were kinda heavy You brought me to life Now every February You'll be my Valentine, Valentine
Let's go all the way tonight No regrets, just love We can dance, until we die You and I, will be young forever
You make me feel Like I'm livin' a Teenage dream The way you turn me on I can't sleep Let's run away and Don't ever look back, Don't ever look back
My heart stops When you look at me Just one touch Now baby I believe This is real So take a chance and Don't ever look back, Don't ever look back
We drove to Cali And got drunk on the beach Got a motel and Built a fort out of sheets I finally found you My missing puzzle piece I'm complete
Let's go all the way tonight No regrets, just love We can dance, until we die You and I, will be young forever
You make me feel Like I'm livin' a Teenage dream The way you turn me on I can't sleep Let's run away and Don't ever look back, Don't ever look back
My heart stops When you look at me Just one touch Now baby I believe This is real So take a chance and Don't ever look back, Don't ever look back
I'mma get your heart racing In my skin tights jeans Be your teenage dream tonight Let you put your hands on me In my skin tight jeans Be your teenage dream tonight
Yoooouuu You make me feel Like I'm livin' a Teenage dream The way you turn me on I can't sleep Let's run away and Don't ever look back, Don't ever look back No
My heart stops When you look at me Just one touch Now baby I believe This is real So take a chance and Don't ever look back, Don't ever look back
I'mma get your heart racing In my skin tights jeans Be your teenage dream tonight Let you put your hands on me In my skin tight jeans Be your teenage dream tonight (Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)location : the computer mood : carefree feeling : super lazy don't feel like blogging. just updating. yes, the picture above is Serena and Dan from Gossip Girl. if you can recognise and if you watch the show and if you read the books and are a fan like me. this is my current favourite song. it's Katy Perry's view on her teenage life. and i'm a sucker for biographical/life-scenario type of songs :D

Woohoo! - New blogskin
location : the computer mood : bored today : absent
hey guys
i just changed this blogskin. and when i went to view all my links to delete all the dead links, i saw that yingwen also has the same blogskin as me. i don't want to change this skin cos i like it, so i will just change the images, i think. sorry, yingwen, if you are reading this, i'm not trying to copy you, it's just that i'm lazy to find a new one and i really like this.
and i didn't go to school today. i woke up with rashes on my thighs and arms, and i didn't feel like going to school cos yesterday's YOG practice was super tiring, and i only had 5 hours of sleep, so my mom has agreed to let me stay at home. i've been to the doctor this morning. and i think that i have been using the computer for 6 hours now. shit. and now my rashes has disppeared to god knows where. so, to conclude, was it worth it to stay at home today?
and we recieved one of our costumes yesterday during YOG rehearsal. this costume looks like a cross between what traffic wardens and rappers wear. wonder what the other costume looks like. there's another rehearsal tomorrow a few hours after school so i will be going there straight. god know how i'm gonna bring my YOG stuff tmr. should i leave it at ballet tonight? or should i bring two bags to school tomorrow?
and i skipped dance again this week. which means that i didn't go for dance this week. i wonder what our instructor will say. i'm starting to like skipping dance. i feel like there's too much competitions and backstabbing there. shouls i quit? and join another CCA?
questions, questions, questions.

update on a busy week
location : singapore mood : nervous listening : Dynamite by Taio Cruz "I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,saying eh-oh, gotta let go,i wanna celebrate and live my life,saying eh-oh, baby, let's go"this song is stuck in my head. i feel like partying and this is the song playing in my head when we're doing that part of the dance where we cheer. oops. i'm not sure i'm supposed to mention that; and i'm sure you know what dance i'm talking about. so anyways, hello people! i finally manage to find time to update this. but i have to go soon; i have another YOG rehearsal later so i have to eat and bathe and do all that. yeah. it's gonna be a pretty busy week. lemme explain. monday - YOG rehearsal, chinese dance practice (which i skipped cos i don't wanna tire myself out on the first day of the week) tuesday - a free day; i have absolutely nothing on! :D wednesday - YOG rehearsal thursday - chinese dance practice (which i will be going cos i missed today's), ballet class friday - YOG rehearsal. this is the first full dress rehearsal and i think it's the first preview :D so excited! i can't wait to see the costumes; whether they look nice or awful i still have stuff on saturday and sunday, but i'm not gonna post them here cos it's not a school day and i don't want stalkers :P so i think this is all i wanted to say. and it is also to let you guys know why i'm not posting as often as before. and by the way, all the YOG rehearsals are AT NIGHT, and they end at like 10-11pmish, and i still have school the next day, which is why i skipped dance today. and i don't have time to do homework, so i'm trying to squeeze them into my free times. p.s. the YOG people should give us excuse letters that let us report to school later than usual. we are doing our part for singapore, hello?!

i'm back!
location : the computer mood : gladkins :P listening : Cooler than Me by Mike Posner helloooooooooooooooooo so sorry that i have not been updating. i had dance for the whole of last week for today's performance, which i will elaborate more on later. and i had a YOG rehearsal yesterday night which was totally crazy and a complete waste of my time. but we have started having our rehearsals at the float @ marina bay, so we can at least "entertain" ourselves with singapore's skyline. so as i was saying, today's performance. it was for racial harmony -which i think is tomorrow- and we danced this form of chinese dance called xinjiang dance. people, it is NOT indian dance. i think xinjiang is a country between india and china or something -i don't know- so that's why the song was so heavily influenced with indian vibes. i kind of like the dance steps though. but the costume was just, YUCK, in my opinion. this is probably the worst costume i have ever worn for a chinese dance performance. lemme describe it to you. i can remember it cos it was absolutely hideous and we looked like some kind of halloween princess disaster. okay, try to picture this - a orange (yes, ORANGE) dress, that is high-waisted. and the top part of it is decorated with giant white swirls. and the bottom half of the dress has RUFFLES. three layers of it, to be exact. and that's not it; there's still more hideous-ness. we had to wear silver pants with silver sequins on it, and the pants were not tight or skin-hugging. yingshan said we looked like aunties going to the markat, and i totally agree with her.and then we had to wear orange socks (also with giant white swirls) that looked like shoes over our dance shoes and the ends of the silver pants. our dance teacher wanted the pants to like "stick out" a little, so it became VERY BAGGY. and that's not it. we had to wear this hat that was also orange with giant white swirls and FEATHERS sticking out at the top. in conclusion, we looked like clowns. and, as i said earlier, we have started rehearsals at marina bay. (YYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) although, rehearsals were boring, it was not like the ones we had at ________(insert location-which-i-think-cannot-be-told-or-maybe-it-has-i-don't-know)_____. there was alot of waiting for the other dances and we slacked there most of the time. yesterday we had the whole place to ourselves, but i don't know why another group took most of the stage space from us; leaving us with a 1/10 of the stage. i don't want to elaborate too much so i'm just gonna say we used most of the time waiting. and i had to wake up at 5am+ this morning as i had to report to school at 6.30am for the performance prep. thanks mommy for driving me to school :D oh, and this means that i only had 5 hours of sleep last night as i reached home at 12am last night from rehearsal. soithinki'mgonnagonowcosi'mramblingnowandiwannastopsoBYE!:D
