whao ... damn sian ar ... din manage to get in to watch aristal (dunno how spell too) in e end ... guess it muz have been a SUPER SUPER NICE performance ... so sad tt i din get to watch e real thing n cheer 4 e dancers...

it was super dumb la ... we (3 photographers) went there and found out that security was SUPER tight ... e back stage was guarded by security guard ... front door was guarded by e UCC workers ... so we were not allowed in ... and michael tay had no intention of letting us in as well so he din bother helpin ... so we have to leave -________-

***************the long story - if u got time to read- *************
Actually michael tay told us ytd tt we cannot take any photos during e performance ... and we asked for his permission to take other stuff other than e dance ... especially e VIPS ... which College Publications is likely to demand frm us (we are like their slaves lah ... hav to produce e photos tt they wan if not Mrs Poon come after us ... so unfair rite). haha ... we came to e conclusion tt apparently, michael had e impression tt we are coming to take photos of Mrs Cheng welcoming e VIP, and then stand (or i prefer e word 'squat') outside and wait for e performance to finish then continue taking some after-performance shots -____________- so he din make any preparations or have any intentions to let us in .... anw ... he hired an external photographer also ... so when we are not needed we juz get kicked away ... (dis's e sad thing abt photog lah ... sch take us totally for granted ...*sign)

anw ... haha ... i was so pissed off tt i called my cca teacher and tell him tt we are going off le ... din even wan to take e vip ... actually wanted to cut into Mrs Cheng's path and walk off in front of her ... but my frens dun wan ... haha ... qute cool huh ...it's like ba4 gong1 like that ... haha ... u seldom see yihui behaving like tt so can see tt i was really pissed off ... not becoz din get to watch free performance (not tt cheapo ...) but at how we were treated ... *shake head

****************************************************************

ya ... but e chi dance Mrs Wong was super nice .. she offered to help smuggle us in ... but then Willa Chen told us it's goin to be very difficult ... so we also bu4 hao3 yi4 si4 ma2 fan2 her ...

very bad day today ... (1) Missed e concert (super disappointed). (2) Wanted to go e NUS famous prata stall to eat but we took e wrong bus ... ended up at some food court there. (3) took 188 to near westmall to change bus to get home .. but somehow we missed our stop and turned rounds n rounds ard bt batok n unknowingly sat all e way to chua chu kang. (4) somehow lost my hp pouch on e bus =( (5) want to post some Aristal photos of qiu, shun, viv here but mu stupid comp can't read e hard disk i borrowed frm fren to transfer e photos ...

sorry tt i'm juz complaining n complaining ... but need somewhere to vent my frustrations ... ya ... anw ... GREAT JOB to qiu, shun, and viv! haha ... knew it muz b great cos i was at e full dress rehearsal ... haha ... tts my onli consolation ... at least on thurs i managed to get closer than first row seats view of e dancers when taking photos. haha ...*anw, qiu,shun, and viv looked super chio .. haha ... i kept saying it ... hope those who went managed to get a close enough look of them... :)
