A Trip to Robertson Walk

My "trip" (pun intended) to Robertson Walk started with a super embarrassing incident.

I was making my way there from the UE Square bus stop when guess what? I didn't see that the pavement was stepped nearer the end and clumsy me missed a step and fell down. Thank God I was wearing (thicker) pants and I fell on my knees (not my face), or else it would have been a mess. Amazingly too, was that my hands landed on my bag (it's good to carry a bigger bag), so no scratches there. And considering that my slipper heels were a little high today and open-toed, it was really a blessing I didn't sprain my ankle nor hurt my toes nor had my heels flying. Angels must be protecting me. :P However, I did come off with bruised knees (no bleeding fortunately) and badly scratched tips of my shoes. It must have been because it was drizzling, so I was rushing a little and the steps looked pretty flushed with the ground from afar. In any case, I felt like I was going through an obstacle course, which ended badly, what with all the carpark exits which required watching out for cars coming out and a hazardous pavement. The paiseh part was that an old Caucasian couple was looking in my direction from across the road when it happened and I think they were starring at me (not in a bad way). So I quickly picked myself up, checked if I dropped anything and pretended that nothing happened and continued walking as normally as I could, looking out for the last few steps so that I won't repeat the mistake. Well, good thing it was nothing serious so I can laugh it off. :)

Anyway, the main reason I was visiting Robertson Walk was that there was an open house going on for a musical theatre school, so my friend & I decided to pop by to see what they have to offer. It was mainly focused on performance (i.e. singing & dancing), but my friend and I were actually looking more at how to "create" musicals, although I must agree that we need to know some of the performance things in order to create musicals. However, there will still be some classes about history of musicals and I won't really mind the singing part. But as you can see from my above clumsiness, I think I should avoid the dancing portion to be on the safe side. Fortunately, we don't have to sign up for a full 10-classes course, but have the option of just taking 5 sessions first. So maybe we'll sign up for that first and see.
