Eternal torment: The Search

Saturday, August 19, 2006

I'm back from Womad in the Heartlands. I was rather apprehensive going with my parents and my little sis. Some might say this stems from a need to rebel, blah blah blah but whatever.

Anyways, actually argued with my mum about the merits of taking mrt versus taking the bus. When i raised the point that we were late (the thing started at 7 and we were still at home at 7.15), I guessed I touched a raw nerve or something. It was so...so...argh. In the end, we took the MRT.

Anyways, arrived to watch the Australians Aborigines act. My goodness, utter beauty. I was enthralled; it was like an anthropological class of sorts. Too bad my cam is a pathetic model. Still, here's a picture. Shall upload the other two some other time. The lag is killing me.

Then it was followed by this African act. It wasn't very interesting. I guess it's just not my thing. So instead we headed to KFC for dinner.

However, we were side-tracked watching this group of people line-dancing. To one of my all time favourite songs (Save the Last Dance) AND it was Michael Buble's rendition! So we stayed to watch. And one dance lead to two then to three. Before we grabbed a quick meal and returned to watch them dance to songs like Ring My Bell, Uptown Girl (Westlife's rendition), Perhaps and many more. It was seriously entertaining to watch them.

Before we headed home, I rushed back to Womad and watched this lady from Rajakstan (or something along those lines) dance. I was momentarily stunned by the twirling. It was beautiful but my favourite act of the night was STILL the Aborigines'. I mean to even tell a story about Boomerangs and share info like the inspiration of the helicopter, it was truly the best.

I can't wait for next year's. I wonder where it will be.

And to all those who are struggling to cram, don't be too stressed. Wait...that sounds so hypocritical considering that I freaked out like three days ago. Bwahahaha.

So erm ya, jia yu?

I'm off to go cram more info for SS in my head. Shall study hydro only after SS papers. Haiz...wish I could cram m0re in my head but I'm afraid that the information will be too jumbled up. I feel like the proverbial dam that's about to burst.
