joy's concert prep

well, early sep, joy and claire have a hip hop concert coming up. they are both excited, esp joy. it's her 3rd round with dance pointe and this time round, she's assuming a more impt role with choreo and coordination!

ystday, almost 6 - 7 hours were taken up for full run rehearsal. on sat, it was time locked up too at jurong side.

i'm sure she's tired, but yet not a word of complaint was heard from her. passion produces perseverance, i told hubby.

hubby reiterated,"that's why i just want them to choose their path rite. no point slogging for the rest of ur lives and not really loving what u do!"

same for claire. she has her own intimate group of young girls too....about 5 of them. ystdy for the first time, i learnt that she went to macs with them and sat down for a burger. when her fillet burger was mistakenly served with mayo, she actually sought her 'right' with the counter attendant, much to the amazement of joy!

well, i can now leave them on their own to settle their own lunch and hang around with friends till the whole rehearsal end. unlike the past, claire would make special arrangements with me to pick her up right after her practice, while joy continues to stay on.....this is good news coz it leaves more time for me and hubby to spend time tgther.

in fact, we chanced upon a sensory park at toa payoh area, which is actually a very old park with hidden hawker centre and many grocery shops run by the residents in the area. old folks were seen pushing carts for a mean income and hubby commented,"this is probably the only place that is not intruded by 'foreign talents'!"

many places in singapore are yet to be explored...hope the two of us will find time and interest to do it tgther. esp while we are still healthy and able to move around. time and tide waits for no man, as the true saying goes.
