*354 - peacock

3 down, 2 to go. For this week at least, and then I don't know when we would next perform.


(Bad lighting, cluttered backstage.)

Sawatdeekaaaaa! The Thai fingernail dance. Xinqin and I, minus the other two. Peacock fingers and buddha poses. Hmm hmm.


Annyonghasayyo! (I think, at least, that's what I vaguely recall from my Korea trip - or does that mean goodbye, or I love you? Oops haha.) Korean dancers Cheryl and HJ.

I love performing for primary schools ... the kids are so wonderfully innocent, and they participate in all the games with such gusto and completely unabashedly! I thought it was awfully cute the way they would raise their hands and run onto stage regardless of whether or not they knew the correct answers.

Me: How about that little boy in the corner over there? -gestures-
About 5 little boys in the corner stand up and run towards the stage.
Me: Oops, I only need one volunteer, but I'll let you all have a chance to answer ... Do you know the answer?
Little Boy #1: Japan?
Me: Oh I'm sorry that's not the right answer ... how about you?
Little Boy #2: Japan?
Me: Uh, that's still not correct.

So cute heeheehee (:

Discovered a quaint little HK restaurant near my place, with and an interesting selection of food and drinks.

But the most amazing thing was that my bag (bright pink and green) matched the walls (bright pink and green) perfectly!! Hahaha.



Check this out: Ribena with lemon (mine), coke with coffee (his). Mine tasted pretty normal, his didn't.



And crispy spherical noodles with an egg balancing on the top! Smashing. (I love that word hahaha.)

I have a strange, tender spot on my arm.

Off to work. It's raining though. Rain is lovely when you're indoors, but it's not when you have to step outside.
