I had a great time yesterday. I had to go for a concert item rehearsal with the leads, Beauty and the Beast. It was really quite amusing to watch the "Beast" holding "Beauty" so gently. My toes hurt so much after doing pointe work for almost two entire hours, the longest time I have spent on pointe so far.
After the rehearsal, my ballet friends and I were actually supposed to do props, but due to the lack of necessary materials, we became rather lazy and instead chose to laze around, watching some chinese show on tv, having a bite to eat and just talking. We went for dinner at exactly 6.45pm, courtesy of Alicia and I being desperate to have dinner. Whilst enjoying our food, we talked and joked quite a bit. Chelsea started talking about escargot, some french style snails. Then I added to this 'snail' talk by contributing my experience of eating Malay style snails, after which Chelsea said my sugarcane juice was snail juice while Joedi's Groovy Grape was slug juice.
While the chit-chatting was supposed to be plain fun, I also realised (just only now) that a world without TRUE friends is really boring and meaningless. When we feel down, we need true friends to remind us that we are loved by the people all around us. Our friends can always make us feel much better when life does not go according to plan. So I want to thank all my friends, primary school friends, secondary school friends, ballet friends, church friends and even my family friends, for giving me the support that I needed all these years.
