Ballet Illuminations

Bonjour! I finally have time to return to here and make a simple update for this blog as I had my really packed schedule for the past two weeks and whenever there was little leisure time,take a rest/reading/hang out with friends always comes to mind before blogging. Sometimes,I really hate myself for being such a procrastinator. Alright,I should just stop the opening remarks and begin blogging about me attending a ballet performance at Penang Pac,Straits Quay.

As long as I got the news of this show,I went all the way from mainland to island to purchase the early-bird-price-tickets for my friends and myself. How could I miss this rare opportunity right. Remembering the first ballet performance I watched last year was 'Men In Tutus' ,an extraordinary and hilarious all-male comedy ballet show,also at Penang Pac.

Win Vien,the sweetie pie. She is my friend's sis a.k.a my neighbour,learning ballet as well.

After having our hasty dinner at Burger King,we rushed to Straits Quay immediately. When we arrived  at Penang Pac,the show had already started so we were asked to wait patiently outside the hall until they finished the first part of the performance. What to do? Took pictures lor.

It was a pity we missed the first part of the show although according to my other friends who watched it ,they said it was not as stunning as the second dance. How amazed am I to see those danseurs and danseuses dancing on pointe like wearing the normal leather ballet shoes. Do they feel painful dancing with pointe shoes for hours on end ? Of course they do. But after days and years of persevering,they managed to do it. The most beautiful spirit every dancer should possess.

Having fun with the lil kiddy in front of the camera while the authority gave us a short 15-min break. 

The last part of the show was seriously cute and it's not classical and graceful as what people usually think about ballet. It could be described as a mischievous one,every dancer had a whistle with them to create sound effects. I heard an explosion of loud laughter inside the hall,everyone was awoke after the boring contemporary dance.

P/s: spot the couple bear hugging inside the photo? haha

After all,we went to Starbucks to have a drink and discussed where to go next. Winvien begged us let her to join us for the next station so I asked her to phone her mom to ask for permission.

I actually recorded a video of her 'asking permission' from her mommy but too bad my friend deleted that video. How excited she was after her mom allows her to join us!

So we headed to Maoz Café at mainland. All of us shared a slice of crepe cake. 

Good times end in a blink of eye,in order not to worry their parents,I sent them back after a while. We managed to reach home before 12:30am,the beginning of a new day. 

*ends*

Volunteer Project

Spent hours customising my blog template,have a sense of glory after I get it done. It looks simple and you might think : It needs hours to complete meh. But seriously,let me tell u now,editing a blog template is definitely not an easy task. For me,I have been wondering how do those bloggers get those simple yet elegance blog skins until today, I did a lot of researches online,watched videos on teaching how to edit html. I was going to back down half way,but then I think of the starting purpose that I'm doing it and at last I made it to the satisfying one. Glad that I didn't give up!

So now I'm going to blog about the volunteer project that I involved in last Saturday. 

We were asked to gather at aunty's house in the early morning. Nine cars fetching people and donatives departed to Betong at 9:30am. Genuinely,I have no idea where Betong located,I googled it and wikipedia tells me it's a town in southern Thailand,near the boundary to Malaysia but we never used passport to cross country right. Okay whatever,as long as I got there.

 

Cars behind us. It was raining so we have to be extra careful on the bumpy road.

When we got there,villagers there head towards us immediately,they knew we are going to distribute stuffs to them because among us there is one volunteer who comes to here every week if not mistaken. 

                 All the stuffs like old clothing,toys,food supplies etc. These are just half of the donatives,cuz we gotta save the other half to the next tribe. 

They don't even have the basic protective layer for their bodies.

Aunty dressed this lil kid up. And she looks good in this dress.

each family has few members came along with barrels 

The second tribe we visited. Personally love this tribe with all wooden houses more than the previous one. I was asking one of the leaders why don't we come by bus instead of cars,but then I know it's all because of the narrow and serious pot-holed roads up the hill. It's unsuitable for huge vehicles like vans and buses. 

Cancelled the plan of rowing boat across the lake to the other village due to the bad weather. We have limited amount of umbrellas and we get soaked by the rain but who cares. It's really a fun experience!

Pulau Banding at Perak. Applause to D'wave for travelling across multiple states in a day :D

Lastly,upload a picture of my BFF and me. 

Yours truly,xoxo
