lesson #117: funky dancing, mister!

What an eventful day yesterday was! To start off, gave G his birthday present a week early. I'd gotten him a Crumpler bag which has a laptop compartment. The whole bag is also cushioned and padded to protect the laptop. It's just the kitschest thing ever. Anyway at the Crumpler shop at Borders I spied a very cool, very sleek laptop case which comes in various colors. Wanted to get the red one, but now that I think of it I really should get the black one instead so that it's easier to match with clothes. But who knows, I might decide not to buy it at all. It isn't very cheap. Costs about $76 if I didn't recall wrongly.


In the evening, the best part of the day happened. Was so excited during the Funkamania finals. I think I was almost as nervous as our Emix seniors. Was just so anxious and scared for them! Yet at the same time I couldn't wait to see them perform. They did so well and engaged the audience tremendously, especially during the butt part. That part was so cheeky. I like! During their performance, I just kept screaming and screaming. Was quite insensitive to the people around me who looked pretty annoyed. But I didn't care. Screamed 'til I was hoarse. I was so rooting for Emix. Emix rocks! G was there beside me, along with Candace. I think he was pretty impressed with our seniors, too. Or maybe he was just impressed by their hot pants. *snorts* Men!


Emix didn't make it to the top 3, though. I think the judging was superbly screwed up. What's up with that Yuki character? His hair's a bush, for starters. Bah. I don't like him.


Annoying stuff aside, bumped into Archie. So good to see him again after practically ages. Suddenly remembered the days of NJ Western Dance. Late practices, our bodies getting stickier and stickier what with the sweat and the heat. Water splashing all over Jing's shirt. Cutting up shiny cloth for our costumes!


Moving on, went Zouk after Funka. Some of the seniors went too, but that was only later on. I think it was most probably the most crowded Friday Zouk's ever had for a year. The night being Fresh!, the main room played R&B tunes all night long. The dance peeps and I spent most of our time on top of the podium, shaking away. I do realise that there were some guys ogling at us and possibly some girls frowning upon our act. But I've decided not to care. I mean, honestly. We were just dancing by ourselves. I didn't dance with any strange men. So if there were people who didn't like what they saw, they always have the option to look away.


Later on G joined us for a while on the podium. He was so high, he's released all his inhibitions about dancing. Was quite funky. We even executed a perfect Versace. Alvin was around, but didn't get to meet him properly because it was so crowded. Saw Adelyn, Abby, and a couple other familiar faces. Left at around 1.30 am. Pretty early I know, but by that time my legs were quite tired from dancing. I was glad to just hop into a cab and end the night on a high note.
