De one with Dance

Short-lived Saturday

Saturday was lazily passed. Morning woke up late for breakfast. Mostly to blame for yesterday's past-midnight return from work. Shortly after eating, I fell asleep on the sofa, until afternoon when my discipline exercised control (thank goodness!) to get me working on the tax project. Actually I was supposed to start this week. However, office's is too much, by the time I arrived home, i was too tired to start anything except sleep.

The skies begun to tear around delayed my plans for a jog. However, I managed for a quickie but was delayed till seven by my selection of clothes and socks. By the time I dined with Clara, we were left with only 25 minutes before walking to the Esplanade. Humph, all thanks to my lateness, I didn't managed to get my Biotherm product. There goes my face.

Fortunately, the dance performance "Interview with Palace Ghost" was invitingly interesting. It's different, new experience with contemporary art. My first time in fact! I've been to concert, live band performance, plays, piano concert, art galleries, musicals but never a dance performance! It's truly an eye-opener. The dance is mainly set on a mysterious setting. Not errie as it name may sound. Not trying to be a smart Alex but I think dance is about interpretation. It's amazing what the human body can do to express with its movements. Every detail..even a flick of the toe means something.

But I thought the dance wasn't really perfect. Nonetheless, further research reveal the dance reflects the old dance movements and pageantry of the Javanese Court. Like I'd said, interesting right?! There were segments like strings concertos, "Man-breast inchantation", "Painting Cloth with Clouds"... Well, it took alot of effort spent on figuring what the dance were about.

Some cessation of immortality or banishments must have taken place. Else, why'd the Heavens be weeping for such long time. The both of us braved the flooded path at Orchard. To our disappointment, all the shopping malls were closed. No biotherm!.. Heaven must have been weeping for me.

Apparantly, alot occured during the day. I'm just glad weekend isn't as dull as usual. Besides, the stressful week demands this day for recharge.
