Rachel's 1st School Performance

Rachel had her first school performance on 18 Nov 2006 (Sat). For one week before the performance, she practiced singing and the dance actions everyday at home. But, on the actual it was completely a different thing!

Rachel was dressed up as a butterfly for a sing and dance performance. When she first appeared on stage with 5 other friends, she found me, Jonathan and Grandma among the audiences, called out "Gor Gor" from the stage, everyone laughed at her innocent action. Bet she got a shock of her life then to realise that she was actually on stage and such a big group of audience.

After that, she got a bit of stage fright and started fidgeting around, scratching her face, neck, pulling her hair and rubbing her eyes. Shortly after, the few of them went backstage, but my dear Rachel was still standing there looking at us. Her teacher got to go onstage to guide her back. While returning to backstage, she turned and waved at us. Another innocent action from Rachel.. ha..ha..

When her playgroup class came onstage to perform the sing and dance, my dear Rachel just stand there stoned. I guess she was too tired then, around 4pm and she woke up early at 8.30am that day. Must be a long day for her. Everyone was dancing and singing, Rachel just stand there, just like before scratching her face, neck, pulling her hair.. ;-) She just continue these actions whenever she went onstage.. Sigh..

Finally, when it was the Grand Finale, everyone went on stage to sing their school anthem. Rachel was beginning to fall asleep. But the moment the confettis were popped and balloons were let go, she began to wake up. Running round the stage, grabbing balloons! Back to the naughty Rachel only when the whole performance ended.. :-)
