Nomad Show1 & Show2 was nothing but AWESOME ! :D
like really great ^^
though it was tiring ,
i enjoyed myself and loved it a lots xD

it's sad that Nomad is now offcially over D:
time really flies D:
weeks ago we were rehearsing so madly
and now ,
in just 2 days ,
Nomad is over D:
sadd :x

mmm ,
everyone put in lots of effort during this period ,
3 cheers to everyone ! ♥
without everyone's effort ,
NOMAD 2010 wouldn't have been so awesome xD
wheee ~ ♥
i simply love nomad :D
i look forward to Nomad in 2012 ! :D

through Nomad ,
i bonded a lot with my peers (:
it was a fruitful journey indeed ! xD

mann ,
it's such a pity that Nomad ended D:
i had lots of fun during the rehearsals ,
and yup ,
i learnt many things too ,
responsibility , teamwork , self - management etc
it taught me many things ,
things that can't be found in textbooks (:
it was a really good experience indeed .
i'm gonna really miss all the tough&tiring rehearsals and harsh scoldings

now that Nomad has ended ,
my days feel so free ,
like something is missing :O
it was a memorable experience !
the flashbacks are awesome ~

the finale of Nomad was entirely high !
well ,
that goes without saying .
EVERYONE IN THE PARADE SQUARE WAS PARTYING LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW
songs played were Justin Bieber - Baby & Lady GaGa - Bad Romance :D
i had so much fun ,
i really didn't want it to end .
but well ,
everything have to come to an end D:

i'm glad i'm involed in NOMAD 2010
i learnt a lot . (:
i made many new friends . (:
i look forward to future Nomad
i'm satisfied that i put in my best effort for this ,
and the outcome is AWESOME

I would like to thank :

The school ,
for supporting us , for encouraging us (:
for letting us participate in such an AWESOME event ,
leaving us with the best memories .

The teachers ,
for all the encouraging words ,
the care and concern ,
and not to forget ,
the support .
also , the time they spent to help us with our make-up and costumes (:

My parents ,
for always being there to encourage me ,
for sacrificing their sleeping time to fetch me home ,
for allowing me to participate in Nomad ,
for the love , the care , the concern . (:

My friends ,
for being in this altogether ,
united we stand , divided we fall
for the fun-filled memories ,
for the stupid times we had together ,
for being there with me ,
in both bad and good times . 
for the encouraging words (:

Jesper ,
for the cheograpghy ,
for the harsh scoldings ,
and the care and concern (:

Seniors ,
for coming back to help us with our hair and make-up ,
for encouraging us ,
for supporting us (:

everyone else ,
for the encouragement and support .
for the memories .
it's etched to my heart .

NOMAD 2010 GAVE ME THE BEST MEMORIES . THE BEST EXPERIENCE . THE BEST IN EVERYTHING . THE BEST IN ME .
i guess this blog would be dead since Nomad ended ,
but in 2012 ,
i'm sure it'll be alive again (:

Mr Tan , our principle ,

Thursday, July 15, 2010 @ 12:39 AM

yuppp :D
i'm here to post about the rehearsals again xD

hmm ,
this week's rehearsals (starting from Tuesday) are all till 10 D:
so lateeee :x
but well ,
left with Thursday - Nomad Show Preview 
and then the real show is here ! :D
excited much !

came back from school about an hour ago ,,
super tired .
but decided to post first before sleeping (:

full dress rehearsal today :D
it was great , no AWESOME xD
everyone was in costume ,
it looked so colourful (:

Choir had really  colourful&long socks ,
Band wore really cute checkered pants ,
Malay dancers wore blue&pink costumes ,
Modern dancers wore many outfits :D
and my favorite is the tutu ! :B
super cute >.< 
haha (:

wasted quite a lot of time today between the reporting time and the start of the opening time .
reported at 3 ,
started only at around 7.30 ,
don't you think it's kinda like wasting time :O
though we have to wear our costume ,
fix our hair ,
put on make up and stuff like that to prepare for the rehearsal ,
3h30mins is too much ._.
could have rehearsed during that time ,
and let us off earlier ):
but nevermind (:

i'm looking forward to rehearsal tomorrow (:
i'm sure it'll be tiring ,
but at the same time ,
fun&awesome :D

mmm ,
it's getting late , 
shall post another time ! (:

tiring O:

 

Saturday, July 10, 2010 @ 12:21 AM

woots ._.
came back an hour ago |:

NOMAD rehearsals were till 8.30 for both yesterday&today
gosh ,
it's tiring mann |:
but i have to be committed to all rehearsals (:

mmm ,,
yesterday started having conmbined rehearsal at around 5.30 .
it was the first time putting everything togoether O:
i gotta admit ,
i was quite nervous about it ...
many things went through my mind ,
such as what if i danced the wrong step ,
or at the wrong timing ,
it just made me feel worse :x
then i thought of all of us being together in this ,
which surprisingly calmed me down (:
as the saying goes ,
all for one & one for all ! ;D
teamwork is the key to sucess

i must say that
the combined rehearsal turned out pretty well (:
opening&closing was so AWESOME ♥
really liked it a lot ><
it makes me so HYPERRR ~
hahah (:

same thing happened today ,
gathered at around 4.30 for a briefing ,
then started the rehearsal at around 5.30 (:
I LOVE THE TUTU WE WORE AT THE OPENING ♥
it awesome ! :D
mine's PINK ♥

then for the "fire dance" ,
we had 30 SECONDs to change !
we were like OHMYGOSH !
challenged myself to wearing that costume in 30 seconds ,
thought it was impossible ,
but it was possible (:
i still had some spare time left ! :D
it was fun though ^^
heehee xD

today's closing was at the hall ,
not parade sqaure D:
i like the parade sqaure ...
but nevermind (:
and yes,
the closing went well ♥
even better than the opening ♥

Ms Jean , Ms Natalie , Mrs Lau and all other teachers wanted us to learn the finale song (:
after listening to for a dozen times ,
i already memorised the lyrics (:
was singing super loudly just now :x
HAHAH !
everyone was looking at us ;\
but i must admit ,
i did have fun ! ♥
was really HYPERRR :D

it's getting late ,
will post again about tomorrow's rehearsal another time (:

one week ago D:

well ,
yesterday and today didn't have combined rehearsal D:
only had rehearsal for IAP .
but there's rehearsal tomorrow (:
till 8.30 O:
next day still got school :x

hmm ,
last saturday had rehearsal from 9 to 12.45 ^^
11 to 12.45 performed fthe openging&closing for all the IAP groups (:
it was great awesome :D

through NOMAD rehearsals ,
i learnt many things ,
one of them being the Importance Of Teamwork (:
without teamwork everything would be a total disaster O:
i've learnt to cooperate with my peers ,
more than before ^^
i realised the talents and good points of my peers

and it makes it easier for us to do things .
can't wait for for rehearsal tomorrow ! :D


excited !

Tuesday rehearsed the opening&closing :D

but we were released at around 5 o.o
so went back to the dance room ,
and talked about our emotions (:
both the male and female leads are SICK !

it caused te rehearsal to be kinda messed up |:
i'm not blaming them or anything , but i really hope they recover soon ! :x

Thursday, June 3, 2010 @ 8:28 PM

wow , rehearsal today .
was crazy , tough , tiring ,
but fun ♥

11 - 5 :X
but it worked out quite well (:

11 - 1 ,
rehearsed the part were the Girl & Boy sang (:
then we had to learn the lyrics and sing along too ^^
at the same time , dance (:
for the Girl part , dance gracefully & gently
the Boy part , active & lively (:

paired with Paige ♥
haha (:

as what Ms Natalie said ,
today was our 4th draft
yipee ! :D

she'll keep adding and improving things ,
by the time NOMAD is here ,
everything would be PERFECT , FLAWLESS

tomorrow's rehearsal , 2 - 5 again .
parade square again ... :|
woots :X
i'd better drink lots and lots of water ! 
or i will fall ill )):

i kinda like line rehearsals ,
where we only talk and make the necessary noises ,
instead of having actions (:
when we sit and take a break (:
compared to running around and dancing in the parade square ,
this is better (:
won't sweat as much (:

Choir is  ABSOLUTELY AWESOME
they can sing high notes ,
like really really high notes ! (:
they are really good *thumbs up* :D

good work Choir ! :D
Malay dancers too ! ♥
not to forget ,
the Main cast are also awesome (:
good job everyone ! ♥
of course ,
we Modern dancers put in a lot of effort too ! :D
haha (:
3 cheers for everyone ! ♥

tomorrow's the last day of rehearsal for the first week ):
we get to rest (:
yay ~ ! ♥
after this week ,
the next time rehearsals take place will be on the last week of June ,
i think if i'm right ,
it starts on 21st June :D
haha (:
heard from Ms Natalie that we would be working on the closing ; epilogue tomorrow (:
look forward to it yeah ? :D



& good job everyone ! ♥
