Walk down memory lane @ 18 April 2010

Yes, as time passes by, i'm drawn to do some self-reflecting. Just a couple of weeks before another milestone is reached (thankfully, without needing major tune-ups). Was remembering the time i spent in London; watching theatres, shopping, walking, and generally having a good time. Something i should have done when i was there, was to watch the Royal Ballet performing.

While browsing through random youtube videos yesterday, i chanced upon this clip. It's one of 12 pieces of the Royal Ballet's production of Romeo and Juliet, starring Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev. (Big big ballet stars, i wiki-ed them yesterday too..haha). They are so graceful on the stage...no wonder they're famous. Real good value entertainment.

Basically, the thing that impressed me was this. Life can be likened to a ballet (not always, mind you). In general, we go on doing our 'solos', but we do long for the 'pas de deux' that occurs from time to time. And if we're lucky, one of the 'pas de deux' can be an extended dance.

Well, this post is kinda melancholic, but i'm cautiously hopeful about the future. But till then, i'll just do my own thing and go on with life. Ahh...c'est la vie!
