A Nite to Remember

I think I am goin to bed  tonite...cos I made history witnessed by my dearest peoples as well as strangers & acquitances. I never thought that such a moment would come true But tonite, it did.

Tonite was my very FIRST belly dance performance!

After a miserable plate of pathetic portion of rice, octopus(slurp), spring rolls, wantons, lettuce, toufu & beef... Jessica (my dance partner)& I excused ourselves to the toilet to prepare for our dance. After borin speeches & testimonials abt the fitness centre, it was finally our turn to perform on a pathetic petite stage...Luckily it was still big enuff to accomodate the two of us. Tsk! Before I made my way to the stage, I told myself not to mess up cos rite there in the audience are people who took their time & paid money to support me & it is only right that i do not put all those to waste.

As the music blasted, i got a lil tense...in fact I WAS tensed & nervous! Wat do u expect, when tis is my FIRST time performin to an audience whereby 90% of them are literally strangers and matured adults, lookin serious & I do not even expect any cheerings from them. I tried carvin a smile like how I did for ACES day but i could feel my lips quiverin. I dunno how I looked but I juz try to look straight in the audience & smile a cramped smile. Tried to find familiar faces amongst the crowd & yes, I spotted my table!! The whole bunch of them were standin & cheerin & videoing or snappin away...!! Wheeee~ I'm so happy!! And best of all, I spotted my dearest mesye also movin to the music...I can't help smilin away on the stage lookin at him, as well as my cuzzin all smiley. I dunno...it felt so Good,they juz lifted my spirits and in an instance, my quiverin lips were gone!! My routine went pretty well despite doin a couple of blunders here & there. After our duet performance, Jessica proceeded to perform her Drum Solo piece...and she did really nice, despite lookin a lil lost for awhile when she missed her cue but she covered her ground well, and Voila...we ended our performances wif big big smiles!! Gotten ourselves some compliments from the ladies seatin at the next table as well as another ex-colleague of mine. Got us grinnin again!! And Hafiz, said our performance was worth the money he paid! YEAY!!!

Soon we were off to the outdoors & were snappin away photos..as usual! Wat are events like these without a lil photo session ehh?? Hehehe...Pose pose pose...till it was time for lucky draw. When I got back to my seat....there was already somethin at our table...apparently, Hafiz won somethin & Iyuan went on stage to get the prize...Oh damn, missed takin his pic. ahahah...

We left after the Lucky Draw & proceeded to Holland Village. I felt really obliged to get my people somethin...so I offered to get them Ice Blended drinks from Coffee Bean and they were more than happy to get the treat. Then we chilled at the carpark & drank away....Ahhh nice...Then Hafiz as usual, drove us all back....He's always sendin people home, never think twice abt it unlike some people who are soo calculative when it comes to petrol consumptions. Once again Thank You Hafiz for sendin me home safely as well as the rest.

THANK U Mesye, Ned, Sitz & Hafiz for Supportin me tonite. THANK U Jessica for a wonderful time...rite from rehearsals till the moment we were on stage and THANK YOU Jim for ur support as well as the ride. Oh oh and not to forget the gurls who wished me luck via SMS...Hafi & Rafeeqah, THANK U too! It is indeed a nite to remember....

Oh oh oh...The Sweetest things....
