CNY Concert 2015

this year will be my last year in the workplace. so i decided to make the CNY concert a more happening one, compared to the previous years. and it will also be my last performance at the workplace. therefore i must make it memorable. 

i choreographed 3 items: 

1) Vigour, a wushu dance item, using a very epic music, that once you hear the music, you will know it is very tan yy. hahahaha. 

2) Reminisce, an alumni item, using the song 细水长流. i made it lyrical, and the concept for this item is sec sch memories. 

3) Finale, that combines all the wushu, chinese dance and alumni performers, using the House of Dancing Water finale song, which is also RnM's Labyrinth finale song. 

i will think it is a good performance, because batman whatsapp-ed me to tell me that the items were well-choreographed. :)

i feel blessed to be able to do something that i really like, and feel grateful that i have a bunch of passionate and committed students who are always with me, even when they have graduated. i know they wun be reading this, but i really want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. 

without further ado, the pics. :)

having our final rehearsal on stage before the whole school come into the hall for the CNY concert. 

a group photo before our turn to perform! initially there is one more wushu girl but she had swollen eyes this morning and wasnt able to come to sch. i can't afford to make changes in formation at the very last minute so have to leave a gap there. and the chinese dance president (one of the girls in red) slipped and fell on stage during her solo for the chinese dance segment earlier. she cried and i had a good talk with her so that she can pick herself up and focus on this item. 

performance over! time to take photos! the guy in the middle is very tall... 1.9 metres i think? hence take photo with him can only sit down, cannot stand up. hahahaha. 

with the 3 best wushu students. thankful to have them, because without them, i wun be able to choreo entertaining stuff for the workplace.  

a group photo again with the 'Vigour' performers! thank you everyone for the great job! 

v day post

the morning of v day is spent with the alumni, for our final practise before the CNY concert. 

and in the afternoon i went to darling's house to celebrate v day, by cooking dinner together for her family. :)

cod fish with cherry tomatoes, potatoes, red onions and sweet peas! recipe is very easy. and it taste so GOODDDDDDDDD!!!

 

stir fried asparagus with scallops in XO sauce. darling's cooking is getting better and better!

portobello mushroom with ham! doesn't look visually enhancing because we didn't put in the cheese, because darling's dad don't like cheese. we didn't marinate the ham because we thought the ham is salty enough to bring out the flavour. unfortunately the ham isn't and the whole thing tasted quite bland. nvm we will improve! :)

CNY cupcakes from darling. :)

my v day present from darling! love it! unfortunately the v day present for darling that was supposed to be delivered to her doorstep wasn't delivered at all. i am going to call the supplier and scold her. 

friday post

organised the inter-house cpt ball tournament for the upper sec students this afternoon. 

the sec 4 turais girls got 1st! :)

they got 2nd! out of the 6 of them, 4 are from performing arts, 1 from sports, and 1 from uniformed groups. performing arts students can play sports also ok!! (i am the best example hahahahahaha)

ouch look at those splits on the scalding hot netball court. 

can't wait for cny next week! and of course v day tmr. :)

Froth

went to Froth yesterday with my colleagues Miss Chen and Miss Chua. unfortunately their two signature dishes, Doritos Winglets and Taro Cheesecake are out of stock. :(

spam fries (luncheon meat fries). very nice! i love it. 

my lobster sandwich. still cannot win the one at boston quincy market. 

Miss Chen recommended the Taro waffles, but Taro out of stock, so we made do with the red velvet waffles. 

no Taro cheesecake, so we made do with nutella cheesecake. 


today, i brought darling and her family to Froth for dinner. unfortunately the winglets and taro cheesecake is out of stock again!!! haiz ultimate sadness. 

our appetiser dish: grilled portobello. looks so aesthetically pleasing! 

sneak peek of 'Senses'

credits to SQ Photography! especially the Rain photo that captures my saturated emotions. 

Senses Day 2

before the final show, we presented our gifts to the choreographers bin gege and silei. our item is named as 'Rain', and hence it is very apt to give them umbrellas. we wrote our messages on coloured paper and hang them at the frame of the umbrella, such that when the umbrella is opened, the messages will drop down. #SOromantic #SOcreative

who is the brilliant genius who thought of this? me lor. anyway the umbrellas are very famous, because they appeared in the Mr JK's epic flash mob proposal at changi airport! i bought them from the artistic director of the flash mob! dun play play ok!

if we wear a white colour belt, we will look like oreo biscuits packaging. 

this photo on facebook got alot of likes and comments. and all these likes and comments are from her friends. they think that floating in the air is very impressive. -.-'''

the well-known dance partner who is well-known for having zero chemistry with me. we kenna slammed since the first vetting. i remembered DLS said:"你们俩各自做各自的，一点交流和默契都没有。" hahahahahahaha. but i am glad our chemistry got slightly better for the two night shows. 

everywhere i go, everywhere i have to take a photo with the same pose. they are trying a bit hard to mimic my expression. hahahahaha. 

thank you alumni for coming down to support!!!

Senses Day 1

poster girl and poster boy! when i was moving the frame and A-stand back to its original position, the frame fell on my head. a dancer commented:"自己被自己打." #COMMENToftheday

the full cast of 'Rain'! one vietnamese, one PRC, 5 singaporeans!

thank you weiling and Mr Lim Chin Huat for coming down to support! *touched*

darling felt that majority of the performance was too emo. and the costumes were a bit dull. hence her favourite item was xuehong's item. hahahaha. during the afternoon show i screwed up the first lift with yokekay. and darling commented:"you have no chemistry with your partner. i dunno whether should i be happy or sad. hahahaha. you only have chemistry with me!"
  

the workplace's modern chinese dance vice president and president! 

dancers from my era. miss them so much!
  

the workplace's number 1 supporter, who has been coming for all my dance performances since 2011.  

my two wonderful sisters, who arrived at 805 pm, and missed my one and only item. zzzzz. they posted this photo on their instagram, and here's what they have to say.

hy: this is @mrtanyy dance item, which @ellisontanyy and i missed it cause my lousy directional cues made us late for the show. hey we were only 5 mins late ya know! unfair.com @ellisontanyy has posted something so emo on her insta that it's impossible for me to match up to her standards. nonetheless, siblings we are, sincerity we learn from our parents. that's probably why we are always proud of each other and we always keep each other close to our hearts. 

yy: forced @hynielling to head down to @mrtanyy's performance with me today and we were late because we got lost so we missed his one and only piece lol #lousysisters. From this picture alone you can tell how different we are, and i think the differences become even more obvious as we grow older. not many people know this but we were very "artsy" when we were young. my brother was in wushu, my sister in chinese dance, and i was in chinese drama. and even until now, we're all performing in some way or another. i guess that's the one similarity we have. there's a flame in us that never goes out. 

friday post

one more day to 'Senses'!

see how emo i am, sit all by myself. where are the nuscd people from my era? come back and dance! 

saturday post

we had homecooked spaghetti on our 99th month anniversary!

you know you are in love when you can't fall asleep, because reality is finally better than your dreams. 

happy 99th month anniversary darling~ looking forward to the next milestone with you. :)
