Zurich Ballet (12 Oct)Zurich Ballet is simply amazing man! Love their flexibility, love their arabesques, their penches, extensions, EVERYTHING. The choreography was really good too, where I simply adored all the group pieces and the boys pas de trois. But I think there were too many pas de duex..should have more group pieces. Overall, it was an enjoyment to watch man.
After Zurich, Ms Ho (who brought her 2 daughters to watch Zurich - Jay and I) drove Jay, Abi, Mama and I to Dempsey Hill for supper - Ben & Jerry's. Ms Ho demanded for ice cream on her apple pie! Well done Ms Ho! Was supposed to sleep over at Seletar with Ps Daph, Dwayne, Siva, Abel, but I was too late, and so it was cancelled...SORRY GUYS!
Stars of Russian Ballet with Ulyanna Lopatkina (13 Oct) THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!! AMAZINGGG!!!!!
I was hyperventilating the whole time through! Poor Jay and Abi are gonna get bruises on their arms because I was nudging them throughout the entire performance cos i was too excited! Ulyanna Lopatkina was so wonderful! She just has this aura about her when she's onstage, where she can actually communicate with her audience through her dancing... You never feel bored when you're watching her dance. The other dancers were really great too! I loved Grand Pas de Duex - Classic, and Don Quixote. OH! & I literally stopped breathing when the dancer was doing the million fouettes in Don Quixote! I COULD NOT BREATHE. I could have turned blue LOL. I nearly cried man! I was EXHILIRATED! At the end, we 3 muskeeters gave the dancers a standing ovation! They really deserved it man...really did.
After that, 3 of us were so taken aback by the performance that we felt so excited, so we decided to go for supper - Paper Prata! But it kinda turned into a sleepover at Jay's house, where we drank soup and ate a whole box of mcvities biscuits, while watching dvds of Paris Opera Ballet School and Don Quixote by Paris Opera Ballet. We ATTEMPTED to fall asleep, but it didn't work cos I was replaying all those images of pencil toes and pencil legs. PLUS, the most interesting thing happened. Abi & I were wearing Jay's Man U jersey tops to sleep, and we had a silk blanket. Well, it generated ALOT of static, and in the dark, my top glowed with static sparks! OW! It was REALLY INTERESTING. Well, we couldn't sleep because of Jay's noisy clock, so we switched on the TV and watched OC during which we fell asleep.
We woke up at 10am, stretching like all dancers do HAHA, and watched Centrestage! I lost track of time, and the next time I looked at the clock, it was 11:35am!!! I was 35 mins late for church!!! I reached church at 11:50am, and worship was over LOL. oops. It's bad to sleep so late before sunday service cos I was stoning so much during service lol.
Went for lunch, then for Calvary Cup.. IT WAS AN INTERESTING AND HILARIOUS GAME.
Mummy played! OMG. Aunty Ivy too! oh yes, and not to forget ernie and Ps Lau who scored a goal each HAHA. Well done man....
Sorry to charlene who had to keep picking balls from the ditch because I kept kicking them in. HEHE. Oh and your birkenstocks too. HAHA.
I feel so stuffed. Ate so much today, but I didn't exercise. I need to work extra hard on tuesday man. It's ok...I'm inspired man.
hahaha.
