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.

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
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)
