it was great while it lasted

don't mind me, i'm in the middle of one of my adrenalin shock phases. this usually occurs after an emotional high, most often due to such things as an important soccer game, a big project, and in the days since i've been in michigan, an ssa event. in this instance, i am in a low after the high that is the southeast asian culture night that finished just a few hours ago.

if you know me, i'm always full of energy during the event proper, often going days without sleep simply because i'm too excited to sleep. then, the event draws to a close, and i can hardly keep myself awake because of the sheer tedium it seems to stay conscious.

let me just say it first: i will miss having rehearsals for our skit and the wedding ceremony presentation. i will miss poking fun at gena and samuel during their mother-son scenes, and hongye for her inability to twirl a pen and drop it at the precise location. i will miss teasing leslie for his "wah check her out" line that i will never forget. "do angels have names?" will forever remind me of the corniest line a guy can ever say to a girl. i will miss seeing gena dressed so 'maturely' as a mum, and hongye in her cheongsam (yah despite all that teasing, u know that we all think u did the cheongsam justice). will miss the monday night rehearsals arguing fervently with winston and jiaying about our 'creative differences'. will miss kicking the ball around, which was about the only thing that kept us sane during rehearsals. will miss leslie's tongue twisting "get-rich-quick plan", and kianleong's love for his school ("yea u know i think my new school looks pretty good"). will miss jonathan's total blank expression when he says he's the captain of the national soccer team. will miss the guys doing push-ups during the skit gamely, and will miss the hilarious profiles done by samuel late into friday night. will miss me teaching leslie how to act 'ser', and how he did it so brilliantly during the actual performance. will miss how we got together and did such a brilliant job just now.

thanks for those great memories guys. it was a great sea culture night experience.
