{ Lord of the Dance... Celtic.. Woohahha! I really had FUN!!! }
Woah, so me, Pam, and Eve went to watch Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance haha... It costs us $51 inclusive of the Sistic charge of 2 bucks. It was rather exciting too. I had to admit the front parts were kinda sleep inducing. Well, we were tired too so we almost dozed off. But, as the show progressed, it got more and more exciting with the faster fancy footwork and in the end, that was the longest time I had ever clapped up till now haha. So i was rather amazed and impressed by myself! Ta tika tata datika ta... Ha, i'm trying to make the sounds out but apparently, i fail... It was quite funny too, you could see some of Michael Flatley's favourite step ha, the elbow in front of you as if you are crossing your arms but you're juz putting one arm over the arm, oh shoot, i duno how to say it. Then, at the end of the show, only one Caucasian lady did a standing ovation. We were sitting at the very back and it's upstairs and i think she was the only one who stood as we could see. Later, Evelyn joined her and only 2 did standing ovations ha. Well, maybe thr might be somemore standing ovations downstairs, i mean directly below us but i actually doubt it. Okok, that was juz a brief intro about what i thought about it. Now, the exciting part. hohoho...
We tried to sneak in backstage, cos i wanted a bit of excitement. But, i can say all 3 of us weren't exactly the most socially bold people on earth. Well, Eve could be, depends if her mood is in hysterical mode or not haha... But nevertheless, when we tried to go down the steps, (maybe some of you wun know what i'm saying by referring to the stairs or wad but juz hang on and follow) 2 guys in front of us told us that if we are finding the exit, we should be going upstairs. We sort of showed skeptical faces and they tried to reassure us that they are the crew, and they went our desired path after that. Haha, but in the end we went down anyway and we treated every turn with apprehension. Especially when we really got to the backstage and the dancers were walking by and we said hi and they replied and one of the guy called the other guy a bitch and that guy called him a bitch in return too ha. Irish people are really matured! But before that, one of the guys whom we saw selling programs ($10 for 1!!!) saw us and he was all perky and cheery, "Can I help you?" and we were like "could we get autographs of the dancers?" and he told us we had to go out, go up the stairs, go in from the other exit, the stage door ha. whew that was really long! Then the bad guy, the head of the warlocks, he's kinda chubby actually. Well, he came out and I was hopefully, whispering to Pam and Eve that he's the bad one right? And so, that man who was selling the programs added, "Yup, he's the bad one, the bad guy." ha, and he walked out of that small place. So, social boldness took over me for a millisecond cos i asked him if he could sign for us. He actually said YES! but in the end he disappeared when we were in a frenzy of finding the pen.
Another incident was after we gave up been sneaking people, as we were hiding around the bend and all the dancers were going somewhere. It was only after when we went back to where we came from and we positioned ourselves at the box seats ha. So, we were sneaking from a higher view at the dancers who were doing some rehearsing again. I bet that was for the later show at 8pm.
Okay, i think i really should stop this writing style. It's like I always include the details and i feel uneasy whenever i dun include everything that happened. I'm gonna try to be brief now. Well, we didn't stay at the box office seat for long because everybody was gone by that time, except the janitor who was clearing the hall and the tap dancers were going through their stuff on stage, which was why we were there, to watch their interesting rehearsal. I mean it haha... A security guard came in after a while and he was eyeing us so we really had no chance but to go out of the auditorium. We then went to the toilet, and found the stage door. We approached it and just before we were going to push the door open, it was pushed towards us instead. That security guard emerged and I really suspect he's wearing a WIG!!! HAHAH! But i found it weird that none of us noticed it or we would have talked about it. Well, i noticed it but i din say anything. So, we asked him if we could go in but he said they had all gone to the back of the theatre for dinner and none of them are on the stage. He even offered to show us that they were not in the auditorium hah, of cuz we took it and really, he didn't lie to us. He then told us to go to the back of the theatre to find them and there was a burly security guard there haa. We then asked him did he get to watch free shows and he said in a really unexcited tone, "we've watched it till we dun wanna watch it already" but that they watched the first show everytime ha.
At that point of time, we were going to give up. But as we reached the curb outside Kallang theatre, we saw 3 of the dancers running like mad and it appeared as if they were going to catch the bus at the other side of the road. I asked one of the girls when she neared me if i could... I din even finish and she told me to "hold on a sec". As far as I know, that second never ended and they boarded the bus eventually. I was kinda disheartened but not for long cos as we were walking to the bus stop someway further down, we saw some other dancers hanging around the back of the theatre and the "burly" security guard was there haha... Again, we struggled to decide if we were to get the autograph a not. In the end, we did and we managed to chat a couple of lines with mostly Bernie haha. Then we discussed about how blue her eyes were. It's a really nice blue, clear and as if it's translucent. She's warm and friendly and has no airs. Actually me and Eve felt that 2 other girls who seem to know them personally but they are obviously Singaporeans were those who "judge" people and they give us the feeling that they dun really wana associate with us cos they din look very natural when we asked them to take a pic for us with a few of the dancers including Bernie using pam's digicam. But then, both of us realized we are judging too hhaa, so we stopped all that nonsense today. Well, i was really glad to have known Bernie. She wasn't the one whom we talked to at first but in the end, we talked the most with her. By the way, Eve even told her to dance a couple of steps for us. She sorta avoided the question but she managed to say that her legs hurt so... Ya, you get the idea like us right?
They had to go in and rest or sth and it's not early, almost 6 and we had to go too, considering the next day was a school day and you get the Monday blues. Haix... haha... but anyway, a little way down, there were 4 caucasians and we could see that there were 2 couples, older couples actually. Middle-aged, to be exact. Eve in her hysterical mood shouted hi to them and of cuz, they were taken aback but recovered faster than Asians (ooops... stereotyping here!) The older couple seemed more friendly and the lady from the other couple sorta gave a fierce glare but we were not sure because it's a distance away. Well, we walked to the bus stop and i sorta talked to this lady who waas selling the programs just now. It seems as if she's a part time usher at Kallang Theatre. Woo, interesting right??!! haha... Then, a little while later, 4 of them walked towards us. That lady who gave a fierce look was rather stout haha, and i really thought she was going to come pummel Eve. I warned Eve and the look of astonishment was really too funny for words haha... in the end, they were asking for directions and we chatted with them too haha. They live in a place near Southampton, it's actually the husband of that lady who talked to us more, saying they live in Singapore and the other couple are relatives coming to visit. That lady usher gave them the better directions ha... Which is to take bus 16 and u can reach Orchard directly but bus 11 only brings you back to kallang mrt station.
So, i can't remember much anymore except the Europeans seem to have something with each other. What i meant was every boy seems to have a fling with every girl and vice versa. Ooops, stereotyping again!!! But it's hard to change this mentality la. Whew this long entry is finally finished ha. I took 2 hrs, can u imagine? But I just downloaded Ares and is trying to get it to give me soothing music to relieve stress from school ar!! haahaa... So there...
