*148 - espressionne

RGS dance night yesterday - Free tickets thanks to laoshi (and Xinqin, of course, for offering them to me), and we had good seats too! (: I loved the SYF item and Sam has truly blossomed into a beautiful dancer. Most of the other dances weren't extremely outstanding but I still enjoyed myself, and I do believe that's because they're young and haven't yet learnt to express themselves fully on stage without feeling self-conscious or copying moves furtively from their friends. Felt like a mass dance some times. Not everyone of course, but just a general feeling of not enough emotion to draw the audience in.

Of course, the most thrilling part was when the Spanish dancers came on stage, and I got to see the 18 pairs of earrings that we made glinting gloriously in the lights. Hehehe!

But anyway it was a commendable effort and a dance concert is a dance concert, I'll appreciate it no matter what (: Speaking of which, I'll be off in a while to watch another concert (:



Justin & I at the old supreme court waiting for my parents to pick us up. The lovely pillars were too pretty to resist, hence the rather pointless and relatively unflattering photo. There was a couple next to us, girl bundled up in boy's arms, practically lying on top of him - just thought it was a rather weird place to do that there, in full view of the heavy traffic :
What I did next was wholly mechanical, much like a reflex action:



In the typical fashion of an RJ student, I settled down and took out my notes. I was pretty aghast myself on realising what I had just done, ahaha.

Sent Justin home, and barely made it back without puking from carsickness - It was a pretty long car ride from Victoria to Justin's to home.

Scholarship day in school today, where the talks were not too useful and the exhibitions were stiflingly crowded and I was feeling sleepy. The Parents got to chat today, so that was cool. My parents also saw Ms Lim for the first time ever for about 5 seconds, so that was cool too.

I'm still trying to think of my backup plan, in case I don't get into any of my selected universities or can't get a scholarship in the first place. My current backup plan: biochemistry, which seems like a rather toot and boring alternative. (I just explained the meaning of toot to my daddy and I think it's becoming his favourite phrase!)

Okay off for the concert. Toodleloo.
