Karyn's graduation concert

Karyn is graduating from MMI this year and that makes the concert that much more special as she will be wearing the graduation gown and mortar board. However, the concert was 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning and she had to be there at 8.15 a.m. to get ready. Hence, the whole family had to wake up at 6 plus. Luckily, Kayla didn't fuss too much when she was woken up.

Karyn was so excited the night before that she took a while to fall asleep. And the next morning, she was the first one to wake up. After I took a shower, Karyn was already fully dressed in her dance costume and waiting for me to put on make up for her.

As per the tradition, both sets of grandparents attended the concert. I was beaming with pride as Karyn walked down the steps towards the stage in her graduation gown. Shall post pictures after I get them from the school.

When it was time for her turn to perform, I didn't have to crane my neck to look out for her as she's always the star/leader of the show and standing right in the centre and front of the stage.

Seconds into the dance, both Karyn and another leading girl slipped and fell on the stage, much to our astonishment. I think the ballet shoes are too slippery! Luckily both girls were able to get up quickly and back to the groove.

I had my eyes on Karyn all the time throughout the dance as she was just so mesmerising; she has such good sense of rhythm and looks so pretty! I think there'll be no shortage of boys going after her as she grows up. Towards the end of the dance, much to my horror, she fell once more. But she managed to pick herself up quickly and finished the dance.

How time flies. Next year this time will be Kayla's turn to perform for she will be in N1. Hope that she'll get the chance to dance. There might not be as this year, the N1s didn't perform, not sure why.
