good day, today.

dance in the morning - an hour was spent languishing around the school because there was no music, but did get the costumes from the archives room and dumped them in the rp store behind lt1. after that, dance itself, which was good. i think the syf piece will be nice. music is definitely good.

after dance rushed home to change and ended up being rather un-dressed up but i didn't really have time to think up a nice dressed-up thing for a student matinee show so i just didn't really bother in the end, although i wore my nice colourful stones jewelry which mel admired =) was too late to do eyebrows by the time i picked up vaish and soph so soph decided not to come with us, vaish and i reached raffles hotel an hour early and walked around the place admiring the smell of money. walked past the tiffin room, smelled the fantastic food and remembered how good the buffet is - wondering if i can get my dad to go there for lunch tomorrow, but i think they're going out for some thing which i probably won't want to go for. but my mom's friend's arrived from delhi today, and tomorrow i'll go with my mom to go see the clothes, yay! i have told my mom, however, that i have too many indian clothes that i don't really wear so i want to go orchard shopping, and it's entirely justified because the stuff i want is as pricey as the indian clothes that she's somehow more willing to buy for me.

the play was good, although it doesn't really compare to the movie. and i'm not getting enough sleep even though promos are over, because i found some parts of the play quite soporific, and my eyelids were drooping. but i think i just kept comparing that guy to colin firth, and his pants were a bit too short for him and he looked slightly lopsided overall. but i liked the gwendolyn very much, and cecily reminded me of some actress.. charlize theron? i'm not sure.

after that, went with mel to meet soph at serangoon to do eyebrows, but once again it was not fated because the place was closed since it was past 6. i thought they were open till 8, but turns out that's only on weekdays. so we're going to go on monday, probably. i also need to visit topshop sometime. i need to go window-shopping properly so i can figure out what to make my mom buy for me. because going shopping with her isn't a very leisurely activity, she gets tired of it after a while, unless she's shopping for jewelry. figures. so i basically need to know what i want, before dragging her off.

so went back to ps, met thong, had dinner (al funghi the second day in a row, bad for me. and spinach tortellini which i used to love but today wasn't so good. i think i just wasn't very hungry). and then ballet under the stars with mel, soph and thong. we were a little late, but the ticket woman was real nice and gave us a discounted ticket, and then we went down and moved around about 3 times before finding a nice spot. the first dance was really cool and the women's costumes were gorgeously colourful, the second dance was more traditional ballet and it was beautiful, especially with the very sort of silent music - just a piano, i don't think it was even chords, just single notes, and a soft violin. it was about a woman dying. it was really nice. and at the end these white things fell from the ceiling, sort of like snow i think. i'm not sure what that was supposed to mean, but it looked very pretty. the last dance i didn't like. the music was this weird screechy indonesian thing, and the dance wasn't ballet but all this insane animalistic movement. it was supposed to be about alienation in modern society or something trite like that, and it seems that whenever people want to comment on alienation or modern society they become atavistic and move around like primal beings. and, god the MUSIC. i kept having to cover my ears because there were bits when the "singers" just started SCREECHING. it was awful. although the drumbeats were cool and some parts of that dance were interesting.

ok lack of sleep catching up with me. i'm feeling incredibly dizzy. night.
