About 2 months ago, I attended the company's D&D with my colleagues! As you guys know, I performed a K-Pop dance routine and what's more ...... I performed right smack infront of the minister's table! Red table, don't play play.
The audition for the performance was conducted a couple of weeks before the actual performance so I had time to think bout what to perform and I performed "Roly Poly" for the audition. A week passed and I got selected to perform for the D&D. (Like duh, everyone loves Loly Poly, of course they had to choose me. Just kidding.)
So after work for 2-3 consecutive days, I went round Bugis Street and Far East Plaza to look clothes and accessories for my performance. Finally managed to mix and match everything to give that retro look.
Alright D&D!
The performers had to arrive early for rehearsals! I manage to make my way to Resort World Sentosa and to the ballroom. Call me slow, but yeah that was the first time I actually place my foot there.
(The photos here are my own's and my colleague's, so spot the difference in the quality of the photos.)
Some photos of Resort World Sentosa:
Gift shop.
Hmmmm.
Sentosa.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It's gonna crash!"
"Phew."
My colleague attempting a shot at the fountain.
It was pretty empty when I arrived at the ballroom as it was still early, the other 2 performers were there waiting for their turn to perform. They did a couple of times but as for me *flicks hair*, only once and done. ^^
Here's one of the performers having their rehearsal.
Had ample time to rest and relax, so I went around taking photos.
Violinist and the bartender getting ready for the event.
Still empty.
Theme for D&D: Masquerade.
Wa-la.
Entrance.
A kind random guy offered to take a photo for me with the entrance. He must have saw me taking shots of everything there except myself ._.
(A tad too far.)
Ha.
A little closer this time.
Even after taking shots here and there, there was still plenty of time so I went back into the ballroom and started snapping again.
The ballroom.
Bet ya never get to see this right.
So, what's on the menu?
Here it is!
The organizing committee rehearsing for their opening performance with their instructor.
Them having their rehearsal as well.
There was a guy in charge of the performers and he kept asking me whether was I alright or not and whether do I need to take a break or have another shot at the rehearsal etc, all I can say was that I was well taken care of. (Y)
Wait, perhaps I was looking bored and lonely walking around aimlessly.
Soon, Lydia came! We registered, got our free water tumbler and took some photos.
Our ticket to enter the lucky draw!
Here's the water tumbler and a pen.
I extended the line a little longer than usual.
Was digging Jiyeon's look.
She gave that very proud look while performing during their comeback stage and I thought she was literally being proud and stuck up. But soon I realize, she did that on purpose for "Roly Poly".
She's pretty when she smiles :)
Photo with the violinist!
The crowd starting to pour when it was close to the starting time and my other colleagues came too!
:D
I tell you, I felt so out of place when everyone came in their formal attire and I was the outstanding one. So colourful and retro and people must be wondering "What on earth is she wearing?! So under dress!"
Awkward you know.
I didn't want to wear my dress before performing because I don't like the kan chiong feeling of having to gobble a few mouthfuls of food before heading towards the toilet to change and rush for my performance. What's more nobody really told me when I was performing, all I knew I was the second to perform.
There was some time left, so we decided to head out and explored. (Imagined what time I came man!) Of course, we had to take a photo with the classic icon. No matter what, you just have to take a photo with the globe when you're there.
Lydia and I :)
We wandered more and .....
"Hmmmm, what are they looking at?"
"Crane Dance!"
"Combining groundbreaking audio and visual technologies, astounding light and water effects, be awed by the cranes' graceful courtship ritual. The sheer size of the steel cranes moving deftly in the midst of water illusion and play of light is one not to be missed."
(Credits to resort world sentosa.)
Love birds.
Soon, it was time to head in!
Guys.
Girls.
As you can see, my mask was the only one that was not some ordinary cheapo kind.
I paid $24 for it. Please tell me it's pretty, tyvm.
Costed more than my dress! (which you will see later on)
Took a photo with a well-dressed lady.
All dressed up for the Masquerade theme and the occasion!
Really, kudos to her and a few more!
Camera man's seat.
The food came shortly,
First up, cold dish.
Different varieties, I like.
Traditional Braised Thick Soup with Shredded Seafood
Roasted Chicken with Prawn Crackers Topping
My colleague, "Let's put the chicken head on the top!"
Sorry, there isn't a photo of the steamed fish because I was waiting for my turn to perform!
You guys ready to Roly Poly with me?
You sure???
Right.
Here it is!
I did "Roly Poly" and "Genie" by T-ara and Girls' Generation respectively. Edited the songs by myself too.
Some of you may have watch it before because I posted this up a couple of times. So if you want to view my videos first hand, SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel!
(While I was waiting for my turn to perform, Charles Stitch Wong was beat-boxing on stage. The name seems familiar? He was one of the finalist from Singapore Idol Season 3.)
I had a smile of my face after I performed. Been a while since I last performed in front of a large crowd. Yeah, no stage fright nor goosebumps.
I love performing and I love the stage.
The comments/feedbacks that I received from my colleagues were all positive and random people came up to me and thanked me for giving such an energetic performance. The CEO even shook my hand when he was heading out after the D&D, and complimented me when I bumped into him the other day.
All these just makes everything that I put in worth it. I cannot be more thankful when random people recognize me in the office building and give me positive comments.
Appreciate it a lot.
Back to food.
Wok-Fried Sliced Topshell with Celery and Bell Pepper in Chilli Lime Sauce
Braised Flower Mushroom with Seasonal Vegetables
a.k.a.
Mushroom with broccoli.
Fried rice with Mixed Meat Wrapped in Lotus Leaf
There were other performances as well and there was an impersonation of Lydia Sum!
Looks like right?
Her performance was hilarious. She managed to get some guys up on stage to see if there were able to carry her! My colleagues and I were laughing non-stop. (okay, I know very bad but...)
And the participants walked away with vouchers!
For dessert:
Chilled Longan with Sea Coconut and Aloe Vera
Overall, the food wasn't nice. Really. And I was expecting it to be a sumptuous dinner judging by the name. But well, I believed everyone else enjoyed the performances displayed by the performers and enjoyed the company of each other too.
After that, D&D ended and everyone headed home.
Here's 2 photos of my dress that I changed into after my performance:
(I know. Stop looking at my little tummy bulging out will you!)
Just admire my long legs, YES THEY ARE LONG AND I AM VERY PROUD OF THAT.
Given my height, my legs are considered long and they're even longer than my friends', who are much more taller than me. This is also why people say/feel that I'm taller than my actual height.
Tsk, quit looking at my tummy!
With the mask.
*winks*
Pssssssssssssssst! The dress is only RM25!!
Freaking mask costed more than the dress.
Here's the original dance that I did by the respective girl groups!
"Roly Poly" by T-ara
Jiyeon is the one with the purple bow on her blouse.
(But she didn't appear 'proud' on this performance.)
"Genie" by Girls' Generation
This is the Japanese version.
Alright! So this sums it all up!
Annyeong!
*waves*
