after photo-whoring for SO LONG, i've decided to let you enter my life only now.
Picasa.
these are the only decent phtos i have on hand now- more to come once i manage to fish out the rest from various cameras~

cheerleading item girls! somehow my cam doesn't have one of ALL of us together.. cannot make it.
L-R: i just love the way liling is smiling so darn happily in the first pic; haha you totally stole the show! ^^; oh. shuying, i was supposed to look stunned-open-mouth, not smile-open-mouth arh. you look retarded. HEE; the try-to-be-pretty shot; my absolute favourite picture amongst this series- we look sho pretty *ahem*

L-R ... if ranjan is all big bambi eyes, then i'm all small eyed smiles; bazooo the domesticated nepalese; nara the 'meanie' who pays me dubious compliments; ian-i'll-porkerise-you reminding me of FWOC; kim who made me translate that stupid song for 3 freaking hours (ok my korean cmi your problem isit) then in the end never use also. grrr.
L-R:my much-beloved personal cheerleader, without whom i wouldn't have been able to get through some matches; me with pandaaaa; the girl who pushed me during ihg, and the reason why i didn't fall apart; umm nothing interesting to say haha; 4/6 of the IHG team; wah super unflattering flash picture but i sacrifice for you all ok because HanNy heart rugby girls!; jiemin who quit guitar lessons to come for training *touched*; 2 'too sei' captains acting cute to cover our.. sei-ness (enwei say one don't stone me); note to self - don't take pictures with a skinny superstar; best neighbours part deux!

L-R: pretty shilin smile until so sweet can get diabetes HEE; jamie acts cute & fails HEE; silly lin with silly face; bashful jason wana take photo smile until so shy!; yay for once almost as tall as kenneth (one of the last pics i'm gona take with you, so i'll acknowledge your name haha)

i realised.. every event i'm photo-whoring at, confirm got pictures with my ham-some yanhe one. people pageant ok! haha still jealous of his soft hair. bleh.
so there it is; Command 2006. haha delayed post compared to others who have diligently blogged about it already; so many raves about kailing's multitalented performance(s) (stroke your ego a bit ok panda), liling's show-stealing booooty shakes, celia's heart-stopping hotness, the guys' fantastic cheerleading item. all agreed, all applauded. :)
i'm just glad i didn't freak out and forget all my dance steps. and i don't know just exactly how i can express my profound gratitude to SHUYING, for putting up with not 1, not 2 but 6 supposedly sporty but totally non-dancy girls, and coming up with simple but pretty steps. nobody came up to me and told me 'wah your item was fucking kickass la!' or anything to that effect, (haha) but i want to think that we don't need that kind of validation to know that we had fun, and looked pretty darn good doing it. HEE. honestly speaking, Command has made me appreciate the hours of painful practice culture people endure to put up a good show. maybe that's why dancers are all so slim. *jealous* haha all those hours making the bloody pom poms.. watching a bunch of bimbotic cheerleaders grab their breasts.. learning how to flick my skirt up and tau-poking shuying will stay in my heart for a long time to come. and although in hindsight it might have been fun to take on another item, one was enough to kill me. IHG athletes are so overrated compared to culture people. there. that's the first and last time i'm going to say it. haha
overall, happy and relieved that i didn't get commanded. haha ask me to act like an ass with my friends, can. ask me to do that in front of the hall.. making me dance is enough, thanks.
was watching the dvd thingie soc comm gave us (eh hello why don't have evalesco stuff arh? all you 3rd year upstarts tsk tsk) and yiling was commenting that i haven't changed that drastically over the years. is that a good or bad thing? sure, my hair is longer now, and i'm older. i might still look similar to how i did in my year 1 (heng arh then people cannot laugh at me say i used to look so tut in yr 1), but i feel like i've grown quite alot. or was it only this year that was just a tad more challenging? new but familiar responsibilities, new dilemmas. but it's all been done. aiya dammit la how come everytime get drunk talk about the same stuff all over again. so fucking sick of it. really. argh.
sometimes when things happen, look beneath the surfce before you make any judgements. for sometimes, the real victims are the ones you might have decided to hate.
dedicated to: Ranjan, for pulling Command off so beautifully; shuying, big serene, nan ren bai tu, liling, liyan & yan yan for the tiring rehearsals made bearable by cheese fries; and to Kent Ridge Hall.
