Yesterday was cool, I met kak yati early (by early I mean I was one hour early- ikr who am I? this is not me hahahaha jk) and then helped with the wedding preparations! I learnt how to make sireh junjung where I had to fold two leaves and tie them with a stick and tape, made a garland of Jasmine from scratch, learnt about old traditions from nyai and revised the dance with the kids.
Let me just say the kids did so well, I was so proud. When the newlyweds had their change of clothes (from a white modernish kebaya to a black javanese one- both extremely gorgeous- and today's purple songket omg why I love it) it was our cue to perform and at first Farley freaked out saying "I dont want to do it" but then I just said "We're in this together, we will look at the bride and groom and ignore the rest" and he immediately got ready to perform hahaha here's to imparting life skills from HSM
I guess everyone was shocked at Mairah cause she did it!!! When elephant first taught them, she didnt want to join so we all thought like "Ok la impossible" but when I was teaching the boys she suddenly asked "Then where do I stand?" so of course I just assumed she was in, standbying in case she changes her mind last minute BUT SHE DID NOT, she went through with it!!!! I think she made her mummy tear up with joy hahah (tip if you're dealing with kids, don't make it a big deal in case they get self-conscious and refuse to do it again and dont make them feel like they have to do it.)
Chiqa too omg she learnt the steps like an hour before the performance, my baby did so well. The boys were so sporting and they had smiles on their faces (I almost typoed smile as slime hahahaha), and I could see them having fun, especially Farrieal. I'm so proud of them, and was beyond elated when we finished and they said they wanted to perform again :') ♡
Went home early cause shagged and although I still had energy to take the bus home mama wanted to sponsor grab so thanks I tried to refuse but I didnt in the end hahaha bless
Woke up really early today feeling quite well rested, as did I feel at least 2 nights in a row- even though I hit snooze I feel like it's more of a want than a need which is great
Went for the wedding again this time at concorde, ate and met my families; including all the babies finally together again but im so sad izzul doesnt recognize me as much omg I was at your house every week once upon a time ok you used to love me hahahaha emo. It just means i'll have to visit them more often then so both him and Izzah will get used to me again muahaha operation take over babies begin
Joined Valkyries for their rehearsal today, lovely progress I gotta say!
And then walked to keichi's workplace with him where we decided to dessert first, dinner later.
It was then I realised his chinese name can be (mis)pronunced as cheesy so I asked the rest "who is the cheesiest of us all" and Riana said "keichi!" and I was like "yessss" but then she said "Because Keicheese" hahahahah crap la nonsense but hilarious
Val said she would eat the waffles everyday hahaha you go girl I support your noble cause
Sat down at a sushi joint with them afterwards sharing traditions of hari raya and chinese new year- oh my gosh I got another semi-heartattack because Riana and Rico have never heard of humans eating rice with soy sauce wtheck (thankfully val not only heard of that but she ate it before too)
I then walked back to smu and then now im home alone cause everyone is out duh the night is still young im the youth but im the one at home pshttt
Ok la lowkey just tired of roving hahaha
Foreseeing a lazy or productive Sunday ahead, depends on my mood
I want to take a short break from dancing but I dont trust myself, I feel like once I inform them, i'll attend the next rehearsal and confuse everyone (and more importantly myself)
S9 is out btw but I still cant make up my mind
K if fate allows us to happen we will happen ok
ps talking about elephant, tb to anjung adat during our finale rehearsal, she was just sitting behind me so I called her "Elephant!" and the two boys behind us looked hahahahahah they thought I was calling them idk whether to be sorry or laugh (ok I laughed but they laughed too)
pps this is why sometimes people think my name is ellie cause we call each other ellie like short for elephant hahahaha disguspink
