Dear Diary,
Currently Listening To: Tilting The Hourglass; Alesana; On Frail Wings Of Vanity and Wax
Current Mood: Crazy Just reached home from Bugis. Wonderful day for me. Okay, first of all, I will update on my recent participation in Indian Female Dance Competition on the 28th December. And any recent events, I'll update here too. 28th December 2007 - Friday Today is the day of the competition. Nothing to say but I am nervous despite how many performances I had before this. It's completely new for me. However, I can feel that we can win this. Heavy breakfast? Checked. Costumes? Checked. Make-up? Checked. Nervous recovery? Not Checked. Yes, I am. Near lunch time, we rehearsed and rehearsed every single steps include the changes made. Oh gosh! I forgot to have my lunch since we straight away did our full costume and make-up. Seriously, I looked like as though I've been in the mud, rolling a lot of times and sun dried. The paint were cracking, needing constant touch-ups. Nitya did a good job on the tribal tattoo on my left cheek and left arm. ![]() ![]() When at the competition venue, I'm scared like hell. We were the FIRST to perform! Dunked myself with more coffee to stay awake but not eating anything. Priya's & Nitya's mother brought thosai and potato to feed us for out performance. Initially, I ate one piece of it. She added one more piece since I'm doing the drama. Haha at least got food in my stomach. I was getting into character, listening to my queue plus watching the girls' performance at backstage. They cocked up the queues for the opening entrance. But as the middle part before my entrance, perfecto! Fast forward to after the whole performance.... The crowd were supporting like crazy! It felt like as though we were the greatest performance in the competition. Whoa! It was hard to describe how the feelings of people shouting your group name, the thunderous clapping and comments received. Really boosted my motivation to do my best. Once going back to the holding room, I felt like the thosai I ate earlier on was gone. Now, it's empty! Whoa! I rocked out with every ounce I had on that point of time. We came home with not 1, not 2 but 3 trophies! Though we won 4th place out of 8 teams, we too won Best Make Up and Best Costume. Yeah! Felt relieved after the troubling times of sewing and putting on make up. It paid off. =D Took a cab home and washed off ALL THOSE PAINTS on my body and have Mac for dinner. Then off to bed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ---------------------- As for today, Khat, her friends and her camp members,my sis and myself all met up at Harbourfront food centre nearby to the bus interchange. Janji 9.45am but come at 11am. Janji Melayu katekan... My Darling came the latest. I thought he had woke up and on his way to Harbourfront MRT station. He was not there... Waited for quite a while before I called his handphone, his hp was switched off. At the back of my mind I was like "I bet he's sleeping." Turned out true when I called his house. Kesian Darling aku... Waited near an hour before he arrived. It's okay. Made our way to Pahlawan beach where the rest of the people waiting for us. There all havoc started! From ice-breaking game to the Dog and Human game. Atiqah and I partnered and then pushing whose going to be the blind Human and whose the handicapped Dog. I, the blind Human, carried Atiqah's legs and then dropped it. Quite heavy to carry. Fed up, I just sat down on the spot I was standing and still blindfolded. For the forfeit, I got to taste this weird thing they gave me. It was DAMN SPICY AND HOT!!!! Sambal belacan + serai + other stuffs.... Oh gosh! By 5.30pm, it was raining heavily and we all quickly packed up and took a shower. My sis and Amin were stuck at the viewing tower! Got missed calls from my sis while I'm at the shower! What the hell hahaha Bumped at Kakak Farah outside Bugis MRT station. She was heading home with her colleague and I was with Darling. Never expected to see her. She accidentally bumped on to me and kept saying sorry for a couple of times. I thought who so I turned around and there I saw her! Hahaha For dinner, we all went to Teenage@Bugis Cafe. Hahaha from Sentosa then to Bugis. Crazy people on one place creates exploding chaotic situations. Our laughter filled the cafe. It was CRAZY!!! oh gosh! Can see my Darling going mad. I took out a pack of 3 Ferrero Rochers for Man & I to eat. Us ate one each. Left one. The table were begging for the last piece. Okay, we gave them. Then no one eats. Fighting for whom to get and whom to eat it. Never ending.... Got some 'scandals' around and also pranking the cafe manager. Really... If we kept on doing like that for a long time, Taufiq will get fired for sure! Poor Taufiq. We headed home with Taufiq and Ahmad. And at least for Luqman & I, we had a great time together. =D For that, I had created a banner to commemorate. He should see this ASAP. I know he will be very happy to see it. Can't wait to see his reactions. Hahaha ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() *PeAcE oUt* \m/ With Love, Lady Ratna |
