We had audition for SYF today. After optional humanities (Sze Khee 鈥?History, Mian & Eli 鈥?Lit), we reached the dance studio half an hour late, only to discover the harsh reality of life as it is. Within half an hour, we had to learn the steps of a new dance routine, know it really well (timing, coordination, bonding and stuff) and perform it as if we were really displaying our SYF piece to the judges on the 3rd of April this year. Seniors have fears too, and that is a very realistic fact that we're really sorry we have to share. This being our last year, we want it to be really memorable for ourselves as well as for our juniors. The audition started with Liu Qian's group, and unfortunately for us, we were one of the later groups and had to be stuck outside practising and nurturing our fears (something we don't really encourage). Up to the now, the results for the auditions aren't out yet, and that makes it really difficult to go about the normal stuff like work and projects. Only 25 will be selected out of the 38 people present! However, we really want to thank Yun Ning, Felicia and Chit who cheered us up and tried to calm our fears. Merci juniors! Later the 3 of us went to Eli's house to make sandwiches (sardines, ham and cheese) for class breakfast the next morning. In her room, we had a mini dance-a-thon, and it was so thoroughly enjoyable we forgot the time! Sk came up with this really crappy, stupid action holding one biscuit stick in each hand that made us laugh until we were rolling on the ground and crying. We tried this action of biscuit-biting in all the dances that we learnt, with seriously hilarious results. (Do us a favour and imagine yourself doing something like that.) We came to some interesting conclusions today: Maria's mum is Maria, Lim Mian can go work in a factory that manufactures sandwiches, Sze Khee can go be a working mum who cooks really well, and Eli should go and be Mian's manager. Here's to fate and everything that made friendship on this earth possible...for some friends were meant as acquaintances, others were meant to stay for a season, while the bare minority live on in your hearts forever. Life is good 鈥?for now.*A side note from Elizabeth: Literature was really cool! I found out a lot more things about the way Shakespeare wrote his Elizabethan dramas and the iamb pentameter thing is amazing. (A horse, a horse, a kingdom for a horse!) It seems we'll be going down to Kinokuniya later this week to buy the books and notes.
