i showed my note in the standby mode where it was displayed on the wallpaper, written:
9am to 12noon - mini ochestra practise at tutor classroom
4pm - pack all my things needed for CNY performance tonight, which include my pink blouse, purple dress, and black high heel shoes for mini ochestra performance, wushu performance t-shirt, water bottle, handphone, tissue papers, my wushu members name list, schedule for tonight's events, a few packs of biscuits, lip gloss, my violin etc etc....
4.15pm - take bath and wear contact lens
4.45pm - mini ochestra final pratise
6pm - wushu warm up and final practise
finally...the night has arrived...we put on some light make ups so that we will not look like some pale ghost under the spotlight of the stage...everyone of the mini ochestra wore pink blouse...everyone was looking so elegant and pretty...we waited outside of the backstage...doing some warm-ups with our music instruments...trying to calm down ourselves...for me, my eyes were stuck on the sky...countless stars were shining so brightly in the sky if anyone ever noticed it...the view was so calming as the starry sky wrapped my heart like a big warm blanket...suddenly we heard some grave deep sounds made by the drums...the emcees started talking and welcome the VIPs...then...applauses that were loud enough to drown us into intense nervousness...
and then..."WE PROUDLY PRESENT YOU THE MINI OCHESTRA!!!"the emcees introduced...
i was among the last person to show up on the stage...the moment i set my foot on the stage, the scene had hit me really hard on my head...hundreds, nearly thousands of people filled every possible free space in Dewan Dato Bahaman...seats were not enough and some of them were standing near the entrance and some of them have found themselves some tables to stand on it so that they can get a better view...the performance started...everything went smooth and steady...i can feel that people were enjoying our music...they paid attention to every single notes and expressions and clapped loudly...i think i even heard someone called my name...and YES! im sure that our mini ochestra performance was a great success...
Next...after finished the mini ochestra performance...i rushed to the backstage to change my attire to my wushu outfits...and i had to adjust myself mentally for my next wushu performance...met up with all my wushu members and i can see that they were all feeling really nervous...i gave them some words of encouragement and here comes our performance..overall...the wushu performance has gained good responses from the audiences too!!...
within around an hour or more...everything was finished...people started leaving and the performers started to busy taking pictures with each other...eager to capture every moment before it is over...{i took tonnes of pictures, grabbing everyone within my reach to take pictures with him or her!hahax^^}
after the event was finished...nobody ever mentioned about the performances anymore...i guess i know why...maybe it is because we are all afraid that if the comments are bad, everyone will sure be feeling disappointed, so we have rather chosen to remain silent and keep our mouths shut...but honestly...deep inside my heart...i actually knew that our wushu performance was not as good as the rehearsal's one...however....WHO CARES??the most important thing is that we have tried our best and nothing in this world is perfect...the audiences still enjoy our performance afterall...perhaps they never even notice that there has been some mistakes!!^^
the photo session lasted for about an hour...everyone was really exhausted but still enjoying the atmosphere...by around 12.30am...
people started leaving...
dragging footsteps that were filled with tiredness...
danggling hands were tired of posing while taking pictures...
reddish eyes that can barely be opened...
and explosive minds that were filled with precious memories of the night...
and now....
a week has passed...
it feels like everything returns to its normal state...as calm as the deep blue sea...
it feels weird without wushu practises for every monday,wednesday and sunday from 6-7.30pm...
it feels weird without playing violin almost everyday with the ochestra...
it feels weird to meet my wushu members halfway when im rushing for lectures...
i still feel like telling them:"wei...remember today 6pm we have wushu practise at DDB ah...please be punctual la~"...one more time...we need to adapt...to this new, yet old, boring atmosphere...
nobody can truly understand how much laughters and tears we have shared together while we were together practising wushu...
nobody can really see how cute, adorable and loving creatures my wushu members are...{my friends usually roll their eyes when i tell them this you see...}
and i agree with all my heart when someone said:"this CNY event had somehow united all the chinese in this college..."it is indeed true...through this event i got to know a whole new batch of friends, and we are all come from different places, different courses and will never ever befriend with if not of this event...
"friends...especially for my wushu members...{i usually call them as my "ai tu"}...i will never ever forget the moments we shared together...thanks....for everything..."this is the message that i wana convey to them...
