An open letter to june 2014.

I'll miss you june, 2014.

Hello June, 

Currently, i'm still in you. (That's what he said) The only reason why i'm actually here right now is because past Audrey is an idiot and decided to fall asleep after getting into a food coma in the evening. So now, she cant sleep. Thus, she has decided to finally update her blog almost after 2 months of inactivity.

(okay, i'm gonna stop with the third person here.)

Mostly because i've been lazy being all "occupied" and stuff, and like school and all that, i havent been able to find the time to update this little cubby of sorts. Which sucks, because i kinda miss writing. But lately i havent been feeling the "feel" to be all emotional and stuff. So free writing it is then.

As all recap blog posts should start, (as well as good essays, i might add) we should go in chronological order, but screw it, im not really in the mood for that right now HAHAH.

Anyway. June, you've given me infinity within a limited number of days, and for that i am grateful. ;)
(i have like loads of pictures, june. because of like photography and stuff)

This is bobby.
we found him while playing at the playground.
(bobby is adorable.)

6th- 7th June. - Silver Tribute

June, first, you gave me The silver tribute, the dance concert i performed in earlier in the month.

No, i'm not some sort of like hip hop kid or like some sort of pro-dancer like my classmate Bernice is, but i do ballet. (i'd like to add that i'm pretty proud of having done it for 10 years). To be honest, i've never really felt comfortable about like telling people i danced, (sidenote: i used to tell people i'd already quit for a few years, when i was actually wayyyy too embarrassed to tell them the truth. sorry guys. please dont hate me hahaha) But i guess new school, new life. Right?

Anyway, you showered me with friends from all over the place, from the classes before us, the classes after, and i was able to meet so many people within the few months that we were together. We would eat together, get scolded together, all that jazz. Man, as sucky as the choreo was, i wish i could relive it all over again.

I dont know if you know this, june, but those guys were amazing. We used to stay back and take pictures after class and all that, pretending we were like super amazing flexible people and all that. Also, they helped me out with my photography assignment, which was really nice of them. <3

Christy being all pretty.
(She's younger than us but so damned beautiful.)
<3

I actually have no idea who this is,
but I really like how this one turned out :D

kyrene, the sotong who was always a joy to have around.
I'll miss you darling, i cant wait to see you again

Lauren, Emily, Sophia and Huishan.
Guys, yall are so awesome.
 Emily, last long with your guy, be a bit more adventurous yeah? ;)
And huishan, stop being so blur. I know i bullied you a lot, but i still love you. HAHAH
Sophia, i hope germany wins the world cup, then i can celebrate with you ;)
And Lauren, you adorable kid. I miss you so much.
<3

Jaime, Christy, Wanlin and Denise.
Yall are super talented. period.
Lots of love. :D

We danced our hearts out, and even though it could have been better, we had so much fun together and i would love love love to do it all over again. <3

9th/12th june - Burning RED

Next, you brought me Taylor. 

June, i didnt even think you could top yourself after the concert. I'd never felt so proud of anything before that. We worked out butts off for that concert, so to top that, would be a pretty big thing. However, you decided to be just really good to me and brought us not one, but two concerts. 

Kerissa and I, burning red hot. ;)
(We worked so hard on that poster. people remembered us by it.)

Talk about right place at the right time. :D

WHAT. I MET CAITLIN.
WHAT.
WHAT IS THIS LIFE.

That night, we got to go into the pits. THE PITS. we didnt even have tickets for that day. And our tickets for the 12th weren't the best, so we were just banking on camping out and showing support. And look what happened. Crazy. 

PIT PASSES!!!!!!
(Thank you Brian, we are forever indebted to you.)

We spent the night screaming until our voices gave way, then sitting outside and repeating "we're the lucky ones" over and over again. It was so surreal. The funny thing, was that we re just talking about what we would do if we actually got passes in just before that. 

We sat on the steps just outside the stadium, singing "i'd lie" to the top of our lungs, screaming "PRAY FOR A MIRACLE" over and over. I still cant believe it happened. Even now. I have no idea what we did right in like our past lives or whatever that gave us this. I just, I cant. 

This. is how close we were.
(no zoom needed)

JUST LOOK AT THAT

Hearing the entire setlist for the first time after all the other countries was just so amazing. Zomg, i remember getting to my knees as she played "Teardrops on My Guitar". That was one of the first songs we listened to, for most of us. Since that was when she started to gain fame. For her to play such a song in like Singapore and all that... that was just amazing. I swear the stars aligned that night. 

Then came the 12th. 

We had tickets for this show, but we were dying to meet Taylor face to face. 

So we took it up a notch. 

lightsticks, matching outfits, led signs.. It was go big or go home. 

I met paul, guitarist, and generally awesome person.
(my gosh i look so weird. BUT STILL)

KIMBERELYYYYY <3

Cheryl and Kimberely met the dancers too!!
(They were all so nice. i cant. Miss you guys already)

We met Jamie and her friend, AND WE GOT MATCHING OUTFITS :D

Also, Cheryl Miles.
(Funny story, this one. I'd seen her talking with someone else, as i was walking around, just pigging out and eating the pack of dorritos. So, i approached her and asked, "hi, are you Cheryl Miles?" partially because i saw her name on the envelope she was holding, and partially cuz i thought she was just really cool. Her voice is amazing.

so anyway. She said "oh yeah, i am hahah" And i offered her dorritos.
And that's how i got on the radio, and gave a major deejay lightly seasoned chips. )

And it was all because a certain boy decided to come down to visit me. <3 Thanks for the dorritos. i should probably pay you back for all the food you've bought me.

So that night, we had to go our separate ways, with Cheryl, Kimberely and Kerissa seated together, and Sheila and I seated in another section. The three of them had gotten cat 1 seats so they had to go in from a different entrance. Sheila and I were in cat 2. So we divided the posters we had, they took two LED boards and the "long live queen slaylor" banner. Sheila, her sister, and I took one LED board and the "fearless since 2008" banner. 

As the concert started, we sang our lungs out, even for the opening act. 

Then it happened. 

We were asked if we wanted to go down to the main area where the first row was. BLOODY HECK WE WENT.

I had the best time of my life. I danced with the support singers, screamed with the fans, cried my eyes out at all too well, got dehydrated, went crazy. And as Taylor came down from the B stage, she took a detour and decided to come by our side of the stage. And so we touched her. 

WE TOUCHED HER. 

I touched her hand. what? And i may have popped a bone- hers i mean. I kinda didnt want to let go, I would say muscle spasm, but then again. IT'S TAYLOR SWIFT. 

Again, june. You gave me something to remember for the rest of my life and until she comes again, i shall suffer with post RED tour depression. 

thank you guys for the best time ever.

It was go big or go home. <13

Then it was up north we went. Literally the very next day, within 10 hours of touching Taylor, i was cooped up in a car for 4 hours, juggling between sleeping, eating and watching the scenery pass by. Basically, my dad felt that a four hour journey up to malacca would be good. so we went. 

June, you made me realise how much i love sunsets and silhouettes, and my new found love for telephone poles along the highway. I'm not much of a photographer, but i love it when the sun hits the sky in just the right way, such that the colours are so pretty. 

telephone wire pole things.

sadly i cant submit this because it has like no visible people in it.
:/

But yeah. i like telephone poles at 6.45 on the highway in june. I love that they connect people, but they look like the loneliest things on earth, because they're so tall, they cant be around the people they're helping to connect. Maybe i'm just being some sappy ass, trying to connect objects that dont really have a meaning to some principle of life thing. 

light paintings and long exposure. <3

But yeah. World, you are beautiful. Such a pity that people dont really like see stuff. beautiful stuff. Like the way someone's hair looks all messed up or like their smile when they're being cheeky. or like the light in their eyes. (except for issac, from TFiOS, it's all dark to him now;) )

June, you have been wonderful to me, and i have loads more to thank you for, but i'm kinda lazy to put it all down. So i'll leave them in a series of pictures and hope that they show how grateful i am to have been in you this year. <3

The first song i heard this year was "everything has changed", and everything has definitely changed. For better or worse, i dont think i would have it any other way ;)

thank you guys for a wonderful june. <3

Best wishes.
- Audrey.
