徒劳无功

We sent her to UCC as instructed, 2pm. I repeatedly reminded her that I've prepared two bottles of water and also a hotdog bun in her bag. And for her to take care of herself. I felt as if I was at the departure hall at the air port as the event helpers took the bunch of Spring Fairies away. Suddenly, it feels as if she has grown up overnight.

Late evening, it was literally the case of 台上三分钟 台下三年功 since we had started this class in October 2011, it has been almost three years, and the stage time for Spring Fairies was barely 3 minutes. In my opinion, she has not developed an aptitude in Ballet, however she does have rhythm, groove and timely moves. The Papa commented that it is too much time commitment for such little result. But in life, many things are  徒劳无功 : 白白付出劳动而没有成效, isn't it. It is not a big deal whether we do this or not, but we've had some exposure, learned about commitment and teamwork, and had some fun in the process. Next year, Ballet might make way for Swimming lessons. Not too sure at this moment, KIV 吧!
