Day 29 – Show time!

The day started off with us doing a presentation to Mr Chia in the morning. We met up early in the room so that we are able to do a small run through of the powerpoint slides before our presentation. At around 10 am we were called down to do the presentation, well our presentation was a smooth one, everything turned out fine. And so, after the presentation, we headed down to duo luo jie whereby we ate our breakfast cum lunch at Ling Meng Le. This time we went as a group over there and we had small chats as well as some photo taking. We had lots of laughter with Agnes’s monkey, especially when we were filming some random video.

Our lunch together


After lunch, we headed back to the hostel room so that we are able to practice the dance before the performance. And because Edward wasn’t feeling well then, we had to do last minute changes to our performance. After an hour of practice for our group performance, we continued with the practice of another performance which is a mass dance by the girls.

Finally it was 7pm when all of us assembled at this lecture theatre where you could see that the room was filled with the year 1 local students as well as the students leaders which are in year today. The “concert” started off with the local students performing the Shan Zi Wu(Fan dance) which was a mixture of modern and olden days dance movement. After several performances it was finally time for the girls’ mass dance. All of us
headed to the front of the stage and we performed our very best for the local students, did I mention that we were performing the song Nobody? But anyway, our performance was quite a good one, at least we know that we did our best right? After the girls mass dance, our guys went up to the stage to show a video to the local students leaders and they even sang 2 songs for them to show their appreciation.

Group E



And now, it is finally time for gourp E performance, we started off by giving a small intro of our performance and the meaning behind the song Reach Out for the Skies. When the music started to play, I guess all of us freak out a little, but we continued with our performance. The cheering from the audience especially from our OIP group boost our confidence. I am serious they were really supportive ^^
Show Time!



Finally it was group D that did the finale performance, they sang the song Home in both Chinese and English, the rest of us join them when it the song goes into the last chorus, as all of us when up the stage and sing the song, for a moment I felt like we were really at home, and for some reasons, I felt touched by the last performance. All I could say was that the last performance ended off well, amd I could see that most of us enjoyed it.

Reflections:

Before this performance, most of us were trying our best to remember the steps and do all we can to tryto make this performance a perfect one. But now after the performance I felt that, the most important thing is not only to perform our best but also to enjoy our time spend together. It’s true that we do bond even more when we spend more time together. Would it be weird if I say that I miss the time whereby we all practice our dance moves together? Oh well.

Anyway on the other hand, I realize that in WUST itself, there are many talented students, students who could sing really well and students who could dance really well. Most importantly, the students here love and dare to perform. This was something which not many Singaporean would dare to do. I know it cause I was like that, I didn’t really have the courage to perform in front of everyone like that but due to circumstances I had to do it. But maybe after this experience, I might have already gain the courage to perform infront of others now.
