It's almost been a week since we've parted. At first, I was determined not to miss her, not to let her be like the 2 others before. I packed my schedule with meetups, dinners and work, just so that I wouldnt think about her. But everyone I met seemed to want to talk about her, making me give ambigious answers, restraining myself from giving a full-blown account that only I myself would appreciate.
And though I had no photos, nor videos to remind me of her, she crept into my mind whenever those songs ended up on my iPod playlist, and I found myself reliving 4th August once again...
Ok lah, I admit it: I miss Rapture. :)
Excerpts from the post-concert email I wrote to the dancers:
"Okay, the point of this very boh liao post is this: That i loved it.
I loved every single minute of rehearsal, costume/prop preparation,
performance, and time spent with you guys. Glen asked if anyone would
choreograph/dance again next year, and I can tell you right now that
if I'm in sg this time next year, I'd do it. (tho after this yr, im
not sure if anyone wants to dance in my items anymore. heheh.)
Despite the shit we got from *censored*, the frustrating
attendance issues, burning-hole-in-the-pocket costumes... It was sure
as hell worth it once we took to the stage. And i'm sure you guys
agree with me."
"Thank you for putting up with my constant nagging, scolding, and overall
inexperience as a first-time choreographer. You guys made my dream of
choreographing a hiphop item at the Esplanade come true."
Therapy: Tuesday night's dance alumni gathering at Hui's house with fantastic food (as always), and screenings of Little Britain, and 3 years' worth of past Rapture concerts. (I tell you, nothing interests a dancer more than watching himself/herself on stage. Which is why I'm so irked esplanade didnt allow video recordings for this year's Rapture.)
Tomorrow's post concert dinner reception with our beloved juniors at SAJC. Hooray!
Last dance,
last dance for love
yes, it's my last chance, for romance tonight
I need you, by me,
beside me, to guide me,
to hold me, to scold me,
'cause when I'm bad, I'm so, so bad
So let's dance, the last dance
let's dance, the last dance
let's dance, this last dance tonight
