One Last Dance ♥


Honestly I can't believe this is happening. It seems just like yesterday when I was a sec1 in NHDS, going to sec2 and enthusiastic about new year and new hopes !! But suddenly now, everything that has been almost everything to me is gone .. .____. All the Wednesday(s) and Friday(s) give an empty feeling now, and somehow events don't seem to matter as much as it used to, anymore.

Today, we were dismissed at 9.50am, 10am actually -.- Because of HHX. Then I went to Dance Studio with Sihwee and we met '96 ♥ Everyone else went out for lunch or whatever and most of '96 stayed back in the Dance studio and ordered Pizza in ^^ There was .. Me Ping Qi Gin Chan Nat TH Swee Jiamin Shilei Leila Twins Jasper Bingming Bryan Junzheng :D We spent those hours checking the Lions for any spoilt ones and just taking random and retarded photos :P We also taupok-ed each other a lot, listened to nice songs, screamed/jumped and eat ~ One slice of pizza is $2 which was kinda worth it I guess :/

Then the juniors started coming back O.O And we were almost totally not ready !! Everything started in a mess and it seems like every other performance !! I was running around doing hair, makeup and costumes and everyone seemed to have something to do, the sec4s running around like mad humans ! :O Of course, in the midst of the mess, Tianyi jihe-ed us ♥ It felt just like AYG, except that was our first performance :P

Tianyi spoke to us .. That no matter how we dance, it'll be perfect in his heart :') At this point, most of '96 started to cry :'( It just occurred to us that it was our very last performance with NHDS .. Our family .. :( We started taking photos together, doing "upside down still '96" !, cuddling together, group hugs, mass taupok and tears everywhere :) It felt like we've really grown together so much .. ♥

Then, we had to go down. It was like O.O to us because we were all so unprepared and nervous !! However we managed to get down calmly ~ Somehow nearing the end of the parade, we were checking our lions and WE WERE SHORT OF ONE ! I ran over to the other side and they didn't have extra so Me, Jiamin, Jasper and Bryan ran to the studio to get one :P Luckily we got it down in time :) The dance started and ended like that ♥ I went up, tired nervous but couldn't tear. I couldn't bring myself to cry, since there was another dance to fight for later on ..

Laoshi spoke to the entire NHDS while the sec4s changed and did our make up :) There was Gold Eyeliner, Mascara and all the works !! ♥ And I'm sure we all looked great :D Then we started taking polaroids and photos and all that :D Oh, and Merrien Joanne Daphne Angeline came back ! :) We were so touched because they remembered us and said that "They are the very last batch that we remembered" and they were touched that we remembered them too, ♥


Took batch photos and many other photos and finally .. We had to go down .. O.o

We walked down as a batch and when we were backstage, I pretty much spent most of the time talking and laughing with Zhenyang over how to become a dragon from a worm etc ^^ I know it's ridiculous but this is an important part to remember !! Then we prepared and started hugging each other, talking and warming up .. Soon enough, it was our turn.

Everything went by like a flash .. First, the first part. I went in backstage thinking "Shit the first part is over", then I didn't have time for a second thought before the 2nd part .. 2nd part was rather long but I guess everyone's determination to do well overcame our fear of the steps and we handled it pretty well :D After we went in, Xuejing cried. Huiping almost. And I didn't have time to ask why before I rushed out for the last part .. When it all ended, we posed. I held their hands tight, I couldn't bring myself .. To let go. It was like letting go of nhds .. '96 and everything in these 3 over years in dance .. When we went to bow, all of us cried :') Xuejing's voice was hoarse and by the time we went backstage, there was tears in so many of our faces .. ♥

We went up to the studio and keep crying nonstop .. :/ Ms Kee talked to us as well and somehow we really couldn't bring ourselves to know that it has all ended for us .. .________. AND .. Zhenyang split his pants during his jumps !! He was saying that my words came true because I said to show a dragon, and he did x) It kinda made me laugh but I still kept crying .. So did many other girls .. :/ And I remember playing scissors paper stone with Zhenyang right before the curtains opens .. :(

We spammed photos, watched our dance, took polaroids AGAIN, laughed, screamed, hugged, gave cards and presents, did everything we could to make this last memory the best memory ever .. :') Then we went to West Coast Park and '98 gave us a wonderful surprise ! ♥ We had a Dance dinner and then we played at the playground at WCP. After awhile, '96 sneaked off for our own final fun .. ♥ We had much fun and it didn't occur to me that everything would soon be gone .. :(

Finally, we had to pack up .. It was so blurry and I was so messed up. So many things happened in that instant and we didn't even have time for a final goodbye .. We really didn't. We all left in our own ways .. And from this, the day sort of ended for me. I went home with Harry and Alger and it was kinda like babysitting since Alger is somewhat like a brother to me :') I pretty much cried on the entire bus ride home and I'm terribly sorry to Harry for having to comfort me and tell me to stop crying .. I couldn't stop, like seriously.

Came home, and this is it.

These 3 over years have been the best 3 over years in Nanhua, and my entire lifetime ♥ NHDS is a family that we'll always remember because no other family will ever be quite as much like it :) We'll always remember the crazy memories and laughters we shared .. And y'know what .. When I'm thinking of '96, it's not the tough times we went through .. It's kinda like all the days we go home together after dance, walking at '96 pace .. And eating dinners on Friday nights, laughing until 10pm and nobody else is left .. Singing in the toilet that every other CCA will be staring at us .. And Holiday practices where we'll sleep together or don't even sleep at all ..

I'll never forget every single memory. And everyone of you because each one of you is special in your own way, one way or another ♥ A big part of my life is suddenly taken away now and I can't help but feel this strange and tiring emptiness in me because I can't seem to find anything to fill in the emptiness .. Because the thing that used to take it's place is so huge so important to me .. ♥

'96, I love you ♥
'96, 我们可以的
That's because ..

Upside Down, We're still '96 ♥
