Cassie's school had the annual concert yesterday evening. This is the first concert for her and for me and i was so anxious. I was worried if she will get hungry, stage freight, forgot her steps and etc and etc. Her concert start at 7 .30 pm and we need to be there by 6.45 pm max. She needed to get ready with her dancing dress, hairdo and makeup before arriving at the concert all.
Getting her hairdo is not a problem because i've been doing this every day. However, getting her make up done is another thing. I know my make up kits will not be sufficient because she needs to be on stage and anything less dramatic will make her look washed out. Everything i have in my make-up box says 'earth tone', 'casual' and 'transparent make up'. So, i went and get a more dramatic colored eye-shadows (purple, blue and even green) and found my most shining-"red-most" lipstick. However, it's still not enough ! Tips : get the 'red-chilli' colored lipsticks and 'blue-green' shimmering eye-shadow to stand-out if your kid(s) is going to be on stage.
Before the concert started, there was some background music and the microphones pre-setup on the stage. Cassie saw the microphone on the stage and she told me that she wanted to go up the stage and sing !While the other girl arrived sobbing and refused to go on stage, Cassie's courage to want and stand on the stage and sing makes me realised that she is one little 'dare-angel'.
The surprised that i blogged about last week is that Cassie is getting her award for being placed 2nd in her class !! Her teacher praised her for her flawless work in her maths area, saying that she doesn't even need instruction to complete her maths work. She can count, write, draw, fill-in-the-blanks without any problem. Considering she just started school on July 1, I am very happy for my gal. What an accomplishment in 3 months time !
(* crazy frog dance *)
After the award ceremony, it's SHOWTIME ! Cassie's dance is simple and compose of very easy steps. When she was dancing at home, she will smile and really enjoyed it. When she was performing on stage though, she look 'business-like'. It's like she's following instruction instead of really dancing because she cannot get her free-flow style going on. Their dance is funny and cute at the same time. And we were buzy snapping photos and videos away.
After her dance, she ran out from the backstage happily. She has the pat-on-the-back from her dad and a big hug from me. We leave the concert soon after her dance because it's near her bed time. But not before we all went for ice-cream and chocolate milk for dessert to celebrate !! Fantastic performance Cassie :)
