Ariella~ - Balderdash - Hobbit! Daphne

Sunday, November 17, 2002

And slowly, almost imperceptibly, the sun set from behind the performer, casting golden rays all over the audiences. I hope my photos really come out well... but I was too engrossed by the performance to care. Just happy being there, laughing at his jokes, watching his acrobatics. And it was even more amazing because he got his audience to help him out with the show... literally putting his life in their hands. And I couldn't help laughing when one of them sat down halfway while holding the ropes that controlled some stick holding him up 12 feet above the ground. He was like scolding him from his perch... and we just laughed like crazy. Another of the audience helpers dissapeared halfway and sat among the audience... haha and he was like looking around for the person. And some girl who was suppose to throw balls to him to juggle, and took so long just to get one ball to him. Hilarious!

Finally, as the sun slowly lay back into his bed, the Singapore night scene revealed itself. Got out the tripod, got a few pictures of the horizon, and sat with Geraldine at the side of the Singapore river.I could sit there forever. Watching the shimmering waters, feeling the gentle breeze caress my face. Looking at the crowds, yet feeling at peace, like being in a world of your own.

Then we decided to meet Harry and the rest at some bridge. And he said he'll pop his flash so we'll be able to see him, and two flashes popped at the same time from two different positions on the WRONG bridge. Then we walked around, looking for bridges and Geraldine suggested asking a tourist. I asked a waiter from the Mandarin Singapore, and he said "Ni Neng Shuo Hua Yu Ma?" He's from the PRC! My god! We both laughed ourselves crazy.

Then Yechao called, and we were somewhat panicky, cos we've lost the group, and it looked kinda suspicious, and Yechao was at City Hall Station RIGHT NOW. So we half flew to Suntec, thinking of cutting through to Millennia Walk, when Geraldine received a call saying that Yechao was already there. Geraldine did say Yechao walks fast, but I had no idea he could teleport. Geraldine waffled a little, and I commented on her truth telling skills. And the photog people wanted to take photos for a little while longer. So we met Yechao, and there was an uncomfortable silence. I felt really tired. Wanted to close my eyes there and then, with the breeze across my face, and just go to bed with all the beautiful memories. Open the pack of marshmallows, and ate till I had no space for dinner. Called Harry, and finally arranged to meet them at Burger King at Millennia.
