Danzation 2014 | Appreciation Post

Hey!

It's quite late but I really really want to post this up for these special people whom I would want to thank.

First up, of course I would like to thank the entire Love segment <3. I never would have thought to have such strong and awesome bonds with these people because even though I was also in Love last year, it didn't feel that much bonded, but this year, it was the total opposite and I love it. Basically, it takes two hands to clap. I feel that our choreographers, Lester, Krisha and Brandon, were so encouraging and patient with us. They were too nice for our own good actually but I'm glad we managed to turn this kindness into strength when we're on stage. All those tears we shed beforehand definitely did not go to waste because it turned into tears of joy at the end of it. Thank you so much for this experience and a group where I can finally call family <3

LOVE SEGMENT x FANTASTIC FOUR

SLUT CLUB!!!
Personally my favourite item, ya'll are so bubbly and sexy to bits. Thank you Brandy for bringing us up so damn well. 

Secondly, I would like to thank Media Team for being so awesome at everything you all do. At first we were split into teams of website, design, photography and videography but over time there were more and more things to do. Like Isabelle and I were supposed to do scripting as well which was weird because we both did not have any prior experience in that and all and suddenly we have to be all creative and write in a stage production perspective. But part of this experience was all about trying new things and growing from it. So even though it was terrifying, I really learnt a lot from this experience and working directly with Alex (Principal of NRA), Jiajun (Awesome Alumni) and Sarah (President of NRA) was really an honour because one year ago I was just a girl in NRA who was not involved in anything and nobody knew me but at least now I know that people are willing to give me a chance for the job. 

Of course there are times when I feel absolutely useless especially with market spoilers like Nana, she is really the goddess of LED. I cannot fathom the amount of stress she had to face during the last two weeks to Danzation. And of course Kaiying and Sha. They are truly the mind, body and soul of media. I feel that, the team was being led by true leaders and they are really inspirational. When I see them working so hard, it really wakes me up and like, try and do my best because when I think I have a truckload of work on my table, I look at them like, they have a freaking Mount Everest of work to do. So, I'm really thankful and so happy to see it all come together as one during the shows. Diana's videos were also super amazing. Even though I couldn't see what she was thinking during the filming, but when I saw the video, I was like, damn, so that was what you were thinking about this whole time. It was really fun doing the makeup and script for the prevideo as well. Like I said, this was a truly new and awesome experience. Thank you so much Media Team for doing so well and so good. You all are amazing!

Media being cute and all that jazz

Thirdly, this is not really a thank-you post but more of a shoutout I-care-about-you post. So, this goes to my girl Beatryce. All this while, I've never thought that you were so wild. My initial impression of her was just quiet, anti-social and shy. But ever since Love practices started, were started talking and clicking. That wasn't it though because during the Love segment 'talk', we all started to understand each other's backgrounds and realise why certain people act a certain way. I just want you to know its okay to cry, it's okay to be broken because you are flawesome (flaw + awesome). It really broke my heart girl. It broke my heart even more to see your knee all wrapped up in a cast looking thing. Everyone was so worried if you will be able to recover in time for the show. And two days before show day 1, you asked in the Love chat, who wants to replace you because you can't perform for Burlesque. When I read that, I just thought, like your injury was so bad it took away an opportunity on stage but on another hand, I thought like since I'm already here at Kallang and since no one else is here to learn it, I might as well grasp this opportunity to join the Limited Edition item. And for this opportunity I would like to thank you for being so honorable. Because if it was someone else with that nasty ligament injury, that person will still go ahead with the item and hurt himself/herself even more. But I really give you my respect because you really respected your body enough that you are willing to give up this item so that you will still be able to do well in the other Love items. You are awesome. 

Following up on that, I learnt the Limited Edition item quickly and happily in a day at Kallang. It was a new and terrifying experience but I'm really happy I did it and from the start to the end, I was thinking of how Beatryce would do it if she hadn't given up her spot. I really felt that I honoured her and did her proud. Thank you Beats and thank you Burlesque for being welcoming to the Love girls. 

JOELLE who revised with me the Limited Ed item many many times right before the show <3

Pretty Beatsssss

BURLESQUE x LOVE x LIMITED EDITION 

Lastly, I would like to thank all those who came and supported me. Like TeamDeep, Joanna, Clare, Hannah and Siman and hopefully more. But yeah, I hope we delivered a really good show and that ya'll had an amazing time watching us. 

Joanna <3

TEAM DEEP <3 Thanks for the baby Christmas tree

Overall, thank you NRA for this awesome and fantastic production. I've learnt so much and grown alot during this course of time. Just want to thank everyone who was there and working hard as a whole. Hope to see everyone again soon :)
