Wonderland in France
 I did not pose for this, okay.

Pictures from this year's Paparazzi production, overdue but up on the blog, no less. I thought 'Wonderland' was not a bad production, although I have no other CS productions to compare it with. But I didn't quite feel patriotic or enthusiastic like I did when I watched an SCGS performance be it drama, dance or choir. Those days were fun - when we bought flowers for the performers because they were usually our friends and when we cheered like crazy. This time round, the only person I consider a good friend worth giving anything to on stage was Mel. And she chose to be the laziest seven sin of all: sloth. Which meant she basically slept on stage when she wasn't dancing. But she was amazing, and clearly, the best dancer there. Of course, the main reason why I enjoyed the night was because of the company of the Innies. Supper was nice, and even more so cos we haven't had that kind of outing in awhile. "If it's any consolation, I'll take good care of her for you girls." - Derek We burst out laughing when Janis' husband, Derek, said that to us yesterday right before the both of them sailed through the departure gates for two years in France. The married glamour girl has left and it's still slightly surreal although she has left for perhaps the most glamourous country in this world. She'll be walking down Champs-Elysees while we'll still be walking down Orchard Road. See the vast difference? Although a potentially sad event, many funny things happened. For one, we realised that everyone is vain. Seriously. Or self-conscious. Janis was going around taking photos with her friends and during this one group picture, her friend took off her specs when she thought no one was looking. And then when the picture was taken, she stealthily slipped them on again. Of course that sent us doubling over in laughter because the poor woman didn't realise we were laughing at her and because she reflected so much of ourselves. And when Fel sent Jules and I to the airport, she crossed the line at one of the traffic lines and had to reverse before the line. We all agreed that reversing that way makes the car feel and look sheepish. Like it did something wrong and was apologising. I thought that analogy was hilarious. I'll miss Janis though - she really has nurtured, taught and watched the GGs grow in so many aspects and alot of what we are today in our walk with God is because of her encouragement and guidance. I think the GGs should all save money and fly to France to visit her. That would be tres chic! And with all that French lessons I'm taking now in school, it's time to put them to use. La France est un beau pays... Tonight's 40DOP session was excellent. I really felt God's power working in our small group and I see prayers answered and lives about to change. And I'm filled with a greater joy - I was smiling the whole way through. You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing
With all I am
