I was once again a performer today... Yes.. I miss going on stage to perform something that has been painstakingly rehearsed for months.

I miss the jittery feeling backstage, the slight anxiety before we walk onto stage.
The ridiculous, but threatening thought: 'What if I fall when I walk across the stage?'

Tonight, some of them came back. No longer a 2 hour show, but just a 7 minutes piece, hours of rehearsals were put into it. SMU Grand Opening was today... I feel glad that I am actually able ot take part in such an event. The feeling is just great! How the collective cheer went out when we were informed that we were going according to dry weather plans.

The skies have been kind. It had been pouring almost incessantly the past fortnight... Yet, they decided to hold their showers tonight. Being one of the performers, we were mainly sitting around and waiting for instructions. I wonder how the committee must have felt as they tethered along the borders of anxiety, stress and worry.

TOnight was a night to remember. My first performance as a keyboardist. I'm glad I got roped in. Get to experience the arts again... A highly satisfying day. It made all the rehearsals worth it.

Now, as Meiju puts it, time to resume the life of a student...
