Rapture

went to see the SAJC dance concert last night.
 
since two of the guy were still in their camp as i went out of the place, i had to get roses for the dancers as well as some light food for the guys to consume before we headed in. turned out to be a real mess. i had received 4 tickets from jessica via hui via weifen, and turned out, 2 of the 4 thought it was being held next week. so i had to wonder how i could make use of the 2 tickets. turned out jaime's sister wanted a ticket for a friend, so one was settled, but the other one was left. talk about poor scheduling. i took the super long walk from the MRT station to the kallang theatre, and amidst all the current JC students walking together, i could not help but feel that i was out of the JC system completely. why? the way they talk, the way they dress, the way they think, it all seemed so immature to me. and its a funny feeling, because i was exactly like that only about 8, 9 months ago. and over that time, ive evolved into someone very different.
 
luckily, glenn had gone in first and reserved for us a pretty good seat, unobstructed by anyone, but the walking crowd. the first thing glenn told me when we met was 'oh my god, this is so JC!'  imagine the irony. the fact that i knew the layout of the place and the councillors on duty, i managed to squeeze past all the questioning and directions to find where glenn was. winfrid and jaime reached right on time as the MCs opened the show.
 
the dances were pretty good, the number of the dancers keeps increasing year by year, so it seems theres a lot of substance. one thing all of us agreed was that the music's much better this time, but i could not shrug the feeling that in terms of the dancing, this year's could not equal the last year's one.  last year's was a blast, smashing success. this year was good, but not as good.
 
congrats to the alumni, probably the only reason why i went to see the concert, especially to hui, jessica, cynthia, candance and dewi. other notable mentions go to kala and jeremy. fantastic performance, that i cant deny.
 
but as always, there's a downside. after the performance, everyone went mad to pass the flowers and congratulate the dancers, and it turned out to be as long as the whole performance. by the time we boarded the bus off the theare, it was 11 plus. we had dinner at a muslim stall nearby the station, since most of us (adeline, winfrid, jaime, glenn, cynthia and jeremy) wanted pratas. by the time we were done, it was well past 12, so since winfrid, cynthia n i live around the same area, we shared a cab.
 
i met couple of people ive not seen in a long while. although i saw thash, he was on the upper level, so i couldnt say hi. and if some of you remember, the two girls i picked on for crashing in first 3 months last year, yes, i saw them too. thanks to chahat, they remember me vividly, which is in turn bad for me, coz i feel a lot of guilt for playing pranks on them. but they didnt seem to see it that way, one of them giving me a shockingly cheerful hi with a gentle push and the other, a simple smile and a nod. funny how things turn out.
 
the physical test this morning was re-scheduled. i just fixed the computer from a irritating trojan, i notice the difference in speed, but with the trojan gone, i dont have to worry about the navigational obstruction anymore.
