Tuesday Night Nostalgia

[OMG... missed a few days... =P... still makin an effort though! Hui hui]

"World Refugee Day Keep the flame of hope alive" read the wristband I received on Tuesday night. After another normal school day, I had something to look forward to- my dance performance at the Ruby Room at night. Some last minute decisions were made for us to perform, and it was such a good experience that I'm so glad this opportunity came along.

Celebrating World Refugee Day, Dixie Marshall hosted the ceremony that night, where refugees received their citizenship certs and made their pledge of loyalty to Australia. There were other performers amongst the entertainment sect, and we were only one of the few artists. A Spanish musician sang whilst playing on a miniature version of a guitar, and I heard that he is familiar with about 10 instruments. 10 INSTRUMENTS! XD... gawd is he talented =P. Our dances turned out to be quite awesome, even though there were major glitches... but all in all, it was wonderful. Upon performing our second dance, the audio sect couldn't get it started, and we all had to pose for about 5 minutes... in those excruciating-painstaking-hard to balance poses =P. I still have a bruise today from kneeling too long... =) ... ah well, it was all good.

The "light refreshment" after the ceremony was so EXTREMELY not light that I had such a great time indulging in nibblies. Massive satay chicken sticks, dim sims, cakes, quiches, spring rolls, samosas... mnmmnn... I can still taste that chicken! Also, meeting the other people present was awesome, and the young child who received his citizenship cert that night came up to us and said "How are you?" in Chinese! XD... the excitement! (he's African btw... O_O)

It was a meaningful night where there were smiling faces everywhere, where we all joked happily with one another. On top of that, the performances were magnificent, and the food was unbelievable. I still wear the wristband today... probably till the end of the week. This opportunity was such a highlight of my week so far... that atmosphere... sooo nostalgic =P.

Hui Hui ^^b
