Coming post will be on:

- iFest preparation and performance.
- First makeover done by me for my cousin.

Morning

I woke up at 4.10am and surprisingly I woke up by myself without people knocking on my door this time. Yey! Then I went down and had sahur with my family and attacked with minor gastric after eating. But dont worry, its an usual thing happened to me because my tummy not yet used to eat at too early morning. I had early sahur before this and that explained why I was attacked by gastric. After eating, I checked my mail and take a nap then woke up at 8am. Then, I shower and listen to Law 101 iLecture with my headphone on while my silly cat, Truffle sleeping on my bed with his head on the pillow. =_="

Afternoon

After listening to iLecture Law - Offers topic, I go fetch my sister from school then watch Sekar for a while. I wonder when Sekar's life gona be peaceful without people putting others blame on her and her mother. What a sad story. Then I go pack my laptop and meet Mea at our campus' library for Law 101 mid term revision. Trust me, im freezing like crazy, man! without bringing my sweater and I have to stay there for 5 hours straight. Gee, freezing!

Evening

We had Law 101 mid term paper at 6.30pm and before that, me and Mea had express iftar. Was expecting theres gona be light refreshments provided inside our classroom and excused to sit for the exam 10 minutes late for iftar as promised by the lecturer to Muslim students but none of it happen. Sigh. Then we battling with Law Contract mid term paper and I got pawned and stabbed hardly on the stomach (its a metaphor people) Haha!

Night

Later at night after exam, I had dinner with Mea, Asfan, and crazy lovely couple, Abby Chu and Steve at Hotspot. As usual or once again I don't know what to order at Hotspot with limited cash on hand. After few minutes of thinking, I ordered Chicken Cordon Bleu with mushroom sauce and Green Tea jumbo. The gravy not that much but still good. Then, we sent Asfan home and his mom, Aunty Abby invited us all in. She is very lovely and beautiful lady. Im quite surprised that she knew my late mom and it made me wonder if I ever met her and Asfan when I was a little girl from her story or was she a good friend of my late mom last time. Here is my favourite part of the day which made me touched until now, Aunty Abby hug and kissed my cheek. Seriously I felt like my heart stop beating for a second that time because... I don't know how to put this in words. I've been very busy with study and work which made me keep on running and running and her warm hugs and kisses had made me stop from running for a while. I felt loved and touched at the same time. Smile, love and prayer is all I can give as in return. May Allah bless her always. She deserve to be loved. May Allah bless my late mom's soul as well. She deserved to be in heaven with good people and our late cats. =)

Check out the lecture video below! Its hilarious! Haha! This video was taken from NTU Singapore lecture class. I found it from my friend's facebook profile. Seriously I can't stop laughing! He is like another Dr. Abey, our Economics lecturer. Hehe!

Yesterday, my uni held the very first geology symposium. Im not sure what it is about, but I can assumed that it is like a business conference and engineering conference. I don't involved with the symposium. We just performed for their dinner. I just skipped to dinner part.

Not bad for first timer but one thing for sure, they should arrange it more properly such as if they favour people to perform, inform at least in 2 weeks time because it ain't easy to recruit people, teach the steps and clean up the routine. Secondly, they should make sure that the guests and performers come earlier than the VIP because its a big no to the event if the VIP come first than the guests. Thirdly, they should inform the performers about their time slot. They can fix the matter for their next symposium next year.

About our performances, we performed two types of dances last night. Traditional opening dance and hip-hop modern dance. Before our modern dance performance last night, we actually had an issue. One of our dancer back out at the very last minute due to unexpected things happened to her. I did saw her when I was on the way to fetch Asfan. Her car looks fine (why I type this is because I thought she is having an accident or something) but the face does not look so fine. It made me wonder what is she doing at my neighbourhood that evening. I thought she's going back to Brunei. Must be something happening around that area. Oh well, just hope she is fine. After we received her news about the last minute back out, we are all panic. We are all in dilemma to perform or back out as well. If we back out, we will lose our credibility and will turned down the Symposium committee too. The OC already like begging us not to cancel. We don't want people to lose their trust on us. Glad I had this brilliant idea at the very last minute. Me and Aaron just perform to Superstitious routine (1:10) and later on continue with Asfan's isolation routine solo (0:35) which make it like 1 minute and 45 seconds of performance. The symposium committee told Asfan it was great but too short. Well, we has some issue and its their fault not to inform us early. the shorter the preparation, the shorter it is. Anyway, It turned out great! Everyone of us satisfy with our performance last night. Will post up the videos later. Its with my friend now. Hehe!

About the traditional dance performance, it was great as well it just that we forgot some of the steps due to very short time for preparation. If we prepare earlier, it would be great. Im not sure if I did smile that time but I guess a little bit of smile. Hehe! Oh well, im trying to memorise the steps which I only learnt it for roughly 3 days? Commercial break!

"Any clubs or organisations who favour Art and Dance Club to perform for their event, please inform us 10 days in advance as we need ample of time to recruit people to perform and rehearse. Please provide us further details of the event such as the guests of the event (ex: is there any VIP coming), the size and the surface of the place we going to perform (ex: the size of the stage/ platform, the surface is it concrete or carpet), the venue, time of the event, when we can rehearse at the place and our time slot. We can't accept any last minute invitation. Sorry if we turned down your offer."

Now, back to the event. After our performances, we had free dinner! Yey! We really do feel appreciated. Although they do not pay us by cash but they pay us by giving us free dinner. Hehe! I do not mind if we do not get paid because we are not yet a certified professional dancers. Dancing is our passion and its kind of a voluntary job for us as we give them free entertainment. Cool! huhu! Anyway, here is the dishes of the night. I just managed to capture the main dishes. I forgot to snap the appetizer and dessert. HaHa!




Oh yea, while we are enjoying our meal, there is a karaoke session open for everyone. This one girl singing is killing my jaws while im eating and she sang twice. Pfffttt. But look at the bright side, she know her singing aren't that good as her friend but she has the confident although how bad she sing. Hehe! Thumbs up to her. :) Our VIP for the night sing as well. He sang this 'more word that i can say' if im not mistaken (i cant recall) and love me tender by elvis. Very nice one. =) geology lecturer also singing that night and the geology club president sang as well as we all request him to sing since it is his birthday that night. Birthday + Symposium dinner at Dynasty Hotel = its like his birthday party dinner as well. Cool! Very lucky. My birthday always on final exam week. Sigh.

I think pretty much thats it for the dinner. We all having fun last night. Will post up more photo regarding to this event later on because I do not have much photos of it. Well, Adios! =)
