lesson #32: passion is what keeps you going

Dance Arts today was GREAT! Went with Shiwei... I hadn't been going for a couple of weeks now since the last time I went, Patrick only taught like, 2 eights in one session! That's how slow... So you can understand that I was quite apprehensive. But guess what, only six people turned up for this week's lesson and the standard on average is higher, so he can teach faster. Learned 4 eights in all. I really really loved the first 2 eights in particular. It's so funky and stylo! I can immerse myself totally in the dance.


I'm quite satisfied with my performance during warm-up too, because I finally mastered the liquid-hands thing. Patrick was standing in front of me during that time and I can see in the mirror that the movements of our hands synchronised perfectly. Hurray!


Comm service today was pretty good, too. The dance rehearsal was very short - less than one and a half hours. The kids are doing all right, except I can't see any energy behind their movements. They danced in costume today, so maybe that brought more impact to the whole thing. Everybody was in a good mood too, thank goodness. The MC came down as well, and he brought two friends. One of the friends is a DJ at Cheeky's! And he's only 18 this year! That is how cool? On a side note, the two friends were really attractive. And I mean, really.


So since dance ended early, I had all the time in the world to slowly make my way towards Orchard. Went to Mango and tried some really amazing tops (but with equally amazing prices, so I didn't buy any for myself), and afterwards I bought a pair of rose earrings. $11.90, but with 20% discount. Incidentally, I spent close to an hour choosing the earrings. I really am not good with decisions!
