*037 - full dress

Full dress wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It was a marked improvement from the run through I think. Though there is much to work on!

Nightmare was cool, though! Maddy told us the middle bit was very much nicer than before – and the funniest thing is that we completely messed up all the steps. But no one noticed!

The both of us did a sequence wrongly, didn’t realise in time, and just continued doing it ... until we reached the point where we realised we were supposed to do that sequence now and not then. So we just rubbished our way through and invented the steps and somehow managed to do it together by copying each other’s movements out of the corner of our eyes. Haha! Are we pro or not?

Ooh so fun. I’ll be so sad when it’s over, despite all the stress I’ve been under. It’ll mark the end of my “gymnastics career” and I sure will miss it. And secondly, I’ll never get to perform with Mel again – I remember how sad we were when I was in Sec 4 after the concert, we were hugging and jumping and laughing and crying and ended up rolling on the floor.

Really thank God for her super speedy recovery – Just about a week ago she could scarcely walk from the pain. And thank God for putting everything in place ... Completely broke down right before the rehearsal, but I feel quite a bit more at ease now.

Trust in Him, Evelyn, don’t forget that. I need to remember to draw from His strength and not my own.
