07-July-2013
Hi Readers.
I'm sorry I procrastinated a bit too much, and broke the promise of the exciting posts that were coming out.
But don't worry, those are still coming out too.
But that's probably gonna take quite awhile.
Cuz it involves a lot of photos in my phone,
And I'm real lazy to transfer photos from my phone into my computer.
It's really a hassle to do that.
So that's why I kinda procrastinated.
I ruled out that I'd rather complete my tutorials and projects than figuring out how to transfer photos from phone to computer lol.
So yes, enough of this explanation thingy and let's move on to today's blogpost!!
Today's blogpost is something that I've been very secretive with, and very exciting with too!
Not exactly secretive I daresay, since only close friends around me knows about the whole big deal.
So drumroll please==========
TADA! YES! I'M IN NDP2013 AS ONE OF THE PARTICIPANT!
AND I'M JUST AS EXCITED AS THIS IS MY VIRGIN NDP PARTICIPATION!!
I mean, the closest event comparable to NDP is Chingay2012, with the water stage and everything (I swear the water stage was one of the most pretty thing ever)
And since there was an audition for NDP 2013, I decided to go.
Then I received exactly 2 calls from different NDP admin personnel that I got into NDP2013.
Was like meh at first, but now I'm having a totally different attitude about this!
I was actually very hesitant about joining NDP2013, as this is my very first year in a new environment in a new school in a new surrounding,
I've got no idea what awaits for me in the new school, be it nasty project works or horrible tutorials or terrible lessons.
But I trusted myself and accepted the challenge.
So training actually started around mid-April, just about the same time as my new school reopens.
Juggling school and training sessions were really hard, esp when there were 2 trainings a week, and considering that the training venue was really far.
But opportunity cost of cuz must occur (quote econs term here)
So I thought I should really enjoy these times.
And a shoutout to my project work's teammates aka classmates aka clique.
They were all so sweet and concern that our meetup dates wouldn't clash into my NDP training dates! ♥
Okay. So let's officially move into the real topic after that lengthy introduction.
What sparked me to blog about this issue?
Well, after yesterday's Combined Rehearsal actually.
It was the first time I see the audience seat filled with people!
Previously we've only seen army guys and random volunteers and NDP staff and Uncle Stallions and our trainers on there only.
But last night it was our very first performance with audiences.
And Syukri was there too! -cues children cheering sound effect-
So surprised to see his sms that I called him straight with two monkeys fooling behind me lol. -Winks at Fiona and Michelle- :P
So these are some photos I took from webstagram.
I DO NOT OWN THESE PHOTOS. THOSE PEOPLE THAT I INCLUDED NAMES IN ARE THE OWNERS. CREDIT TO OWNERS OF THE PHOTO.
This was dinner for last night. Pizza Hut, a change from the KFC we've been eating since forever lol.
One slice of Hawaiian Pizza, 2 pieces of garlic bread and 4 pieces of Chicken wing.
The chicken wing was really good, as said by some non-meat eater which is me.
Was so excited about this whole flag thingy while preparing backstage.
Khloe had to ask, "You never see flag before is it?"
Side track. Look at this boy with upside down tattoo of Singapore flag! So cute!
Note to readers: I am not a pedophile. By saying that a random little boy is cute doesn't mean that I'm a pedo okay. Well, probably not.....?
Look at those fireworks! Every Saturday's performance I'm always the most excited about fireworks. And more fireworks. And even more fireworks.
This year's Funpack! I've got no idea why it received so much criticism from the public cuz I simply just adore it ttm♥!
I want to own a Funpack too!
Can't wait to receive mine! The light saber and the whistle is just jjang and daebak!
So that's about it actually.I want to own a Funpack too!
Can't wait to receive mine! The light saber and the whistle is just jjang and daebak!
Was in awe to see the audience seat was filled with audience.
Not exactly filled,
but at least 3 quarters filled.
The cheers, the cameraman snapping away, the applause, the spotlight.
What a thrill.
And I realized I do the "Taylor Swift Glance" when I'm on stage.
I mean, it's so fantastic to sink into the atmosphere.
Last but not least,
I need to thank everyone.
Everyone that's reading my pathetic blog,
Everyone that came down to watch us perform,
Everyone in the NDP Exco to put the whole show together,
Everyone in SSA NDP Exco to make our show together,
Everyone like Uncle Stallions for all the great care that you gave us and we received,
Everyone in SSA participants for making this whole choreography possible,
Everyone in my group Echo 2 for the utmost care towards the youngest me,
And yes, my heart is filled with lots of gratitude.
Thank you.
With that, I shall sign off.
With lots of love,
E213 SSA Participant of NDP2013
Ong Wen Xse
I can't wait for the audience seat to be completely filled!
After such a lengthy post, you must be wondering...
So wtheck is my performance?
As much as I would love to reveal, I can't.
So the only clue I'm going to give is: I am in this picture.
Go zoom up all close and you'll definitely be able to see me MUAHAHAHA
PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CAN I NOT DO THAT CHOREOGRAPHY IN FINALE AND ENJOY THE FIREWORKS INSTEAD? ):
