steamboat at 2 am!

on wednesday night, me and some of the chinese dance pple went to teo heng for ktv session.

by the time we finish singing, it was already 1 am, and most of us were hungry. chio outdoor enthusiast suggested going to hk cafe for supper, so i brought them to the 老 hk cafe beside katong mall.

at first all of us dunno wat to order, so i decided to order some of the favourites, such as xo sauce fried rice, deep fried pig intestine and the boneless fish. suddenly, someone mentioned steamboat! and steamboat is wat we ate for supper! omg so sinful...

the spread is really great!

got one big plate of the "tau" family. consisting of tau key, tau pork, tau kua etc. a big plate of meat plus seafood. a big plate of veggies. lastly a big plate of assorted mushrooms. got golden needle mushrooms, fan-like mushrooms, super huge mushrooms that look like big slices of sweet potato, and also have 木耳.

by looking at our happy faces, you can see how much we enjoyed the food.

LASTLY!!!

i am going to show you a magic trick!

watch carefully!

now, stare at the photo below for 20 seconds.

雨天来了

the weather for the past few days is bad. damn bad.

seriously speaking i intended to go jogging or swimming during this march holidays to lose the fats on my body, thanks to mr wolverine, who claimed that i am too FAT as a dancer.

but thanks to the lousy forever raining weather, i have to resort to staying at home, munching cookies and potato chips, to keep my stomach warm, which in turn keep my whole body warm, thus making me even fatter. haiz.

was reading my good fren mr dashimon's blog, and he wrote a very interesting entry on why it has been raining cats and dogs:

Ok.. I really hate these days when it has been raining like heavy period...it seems as if the gods are taking a shower in the heavens above us and they forgot to turn off the shower tap, and go do their adminstrative stuff...then upon going back to the bathrooms..they realise: Wow it seems like a not bad idea to leave the shower tap, look now we have a free swimming pool or a bath tub filled with water...and all we have to do, is get Agni Deva, the fire god...from India to steam it up to make it like a hot jacuzzi...and all the gods steam...and love will find its way to heal the world...Okie..no link

Anyway the Selamat who is on the run siao liao, rain until like that, hide in whatever rainforests also will die...the only good thing is he won die of thirst.and don smell so bad for the dogs to sniff him out....even limpeh no need turn on the fan in the night also feel that someone just installed a public air cooling unit and turned it on..

---------------------------------------------

haha he is forever so crappy and corny. maybe should pull him into nus chinese dance, then the gals will have one more crappy entertainer. but i noe the chances of him joining nus chinese dance is equal to chances of mas selamat turning himself in at our police station on hari raya puasa wishing the police officers selamat hari raya. ok i also no link.

just now i was looking through the msn window, and i noticed a nick which is very interesting. of course the nick is a bit in relation to my blog post.

"Every day rain... Then we buy water from M _ _ _ _ _ S _ A for ****?"

ultimate. haha.

wah lao so fast is already the second last day of the holidays le. SIAN AH............. :(

感想

终于到了最后一个演出。

演出之前，小云过来告诉我，希望我们的四人舞蹈可以让她感动到流泪。我惊讶了一下，只能回答她一声“哦”。

我就决定了。反正最后一个演出了，就豁出去了。尽情的跳，尽情的演吧！

《冬 。冻 。动》的概念很鲜明。在这支舞蹈里，有四对情侣，这四对情侣都呈现不同的表情：喜，怒，哀，乐。我和静雯是那对“怒”的情侣。

在之前的两个演出，我只是想着如何在台上生气，如何不爽她，如何对她不理不睬。

最后的演出，感觉不同了。我在生气的时候，一看到她那双眼睛散发出的悲情，我的心痛了一下。在那一霎那间，我的心在告诉自己：这么好的女孩子，为什么要这样对待她呢？

表演《距离》时，我又打了欣怡。在前几次的练习，一旦知道我可以打人，我就非常的兴奋，而欣怡就非常的不爽。不过在所有的练习与彩排，我从来都没有打她，只是 go through motion 而已。第一次的正式演出，我不知不觉中竟然真的打了她。台上呈现的效果很好，很逼真。于是欣怡就叫我在接下来的演出“敢敢去打”。说真的我本人从来都不赞成对女人施行暴力。对女人是要疼爱，呵护，关怀的。

终于到了《敢敢跳》。这支舞蹈是很考验体力的。

《冬 。冻 。动》是精神上的累，因为要生对方的气。

《距离》是精神上和身体上的累。要深爱对方，对方却爱别人。身体累，因为有好几个抱着欣怡的难度动作。

跳了这两支舞蹈，已经累到半条人命了，还要去跳那支最消耗体力的舞蹈。siong ah~

最后一次跳《敢敢跳》，我也就拼了我的老命去跳。几乎跳到忘我的境界。哈哈。

演出终于完了。落幕了。每个人在后台都兴奋的欢呼。

我却自己一个人站在一个安静的角落。情绪开始波动起来。有一点激动，因为演出终于完了。接着，心里就轻松了许多，因为不需要每晚上班后，拖着疲累的身子去排舞。最后，感觉到一阵莫名的伤感，以及空虚。

i will miss these pple.

i will miss the stage.

i will miss ucc dance studio.

i will miss all the happy memories.

psyche day 2 (4 pm show)

i was a bit stressed and nervous for the 4 pm show. because darling is coming, and i want to put up my best perf for her to see. the always critical mr wolverine will be watching too, so must perform well, if not sure kenna whacked by him in his blog. and lastly, 3 of my kids came too! so cannot sia sway.

the performance went off quite well. i din slip for winter. but i forgot one movement. oops. hopefully audience wun realise. haha.

distance was ok. i slapped xinyi, this time is me knowing it. day 1 was me slapping her, without me knowing it. xinyi is really very steady. before the perf, she tell me to 敢敢打下去, so that the effect will look good on stage. this kind of partner go where to find?

but before i go on, i also must compliment my another partner, who is none other than the chio outdoor enthusiast. she had to kenna whiplash by me, tolerate my black face throughout the dance item, and suffer bruises on her hip, back, elbow or watever body part that i had caused injury to. partner, i salute you. :)

i am so fortunate to have two very very nice dance partners for this dance performance.

dare to dance is much more tidy in the steps compared to friday's show.

after the whole perf, i went out to the foyer to find darling, mr wolverine and my kids to take pictures.

all of the dancers have only around fifteen minutes to meet up with our relatives/gf/bf/friends, because we have to go back inside to prepare for the final show at 8 pm.

if we report late, we have to treat ben and jerry! of course none of us want to treat, so we quickly rush back.

but still some of them can still do a MTV kind thingy on their way back. to find out more, scroll down:

funny rite? haha...

nus art museum

2nd day of the performance.

we were told to reach ucc by 11 am.

in fact i reached there very early. at 1020 am. so i decided to go and explore the nus museum, because i remembered the exco of nus chinese dance had asked the dancers to check the place out, because the previous manager of our dance group is now in charge of the museum.

i was quite impressed by the place. i admit i am not a "art-ly" person. but once i stepped in, i was fascinated by the various exhibits and pictures.

actually i dunno whether are we allowed to take photos. if not allowed, kindly let me noe, so i can remove them. =p

i was the first from the dance group to report at the security counter~

wow~

first time leh. haha. must take picture as a momento.

the next blog post will be on the performance itself. :)

psyche day 1

actually i have a very siong schedule today.

10 am i reach ucc for blocking.

3 pm i went to nie for the physical proficiency test. (this time round i better pass.)

after the test rush back to ucc again for the actual perf.

today's perf was ok. but i believe can be better. dare to dance was bloody messy. cos i was standing at the back and i can see all the girls execute their dance movements at different timings. jia lat. tomorrow morning all of us sure will kenna whack by xiaoyun. haha no lah whack is not a good word. i should use the word "drill".

distance was not bad. and i really slap xinyi. oops. all the past rehearsals i just go thru motion only. this time round i really slap her! actually i din realise. until after the perf then she come and tell me that i slapped her. feel so guilty. haha.

i slipped during winter. bloody hell! cos the stage is damn bloody slippery, so the exco got this weird thing called 松香 for us, which we can apply it on our dance shoes so that there will be more friction, and we wun slip and fall. for the past few practises and rehearsals, i nv put that 松香 at all, and i nv slipped. so today, i decided to put some of it, just in case. everything is ok at the start of the dance item. the moment i start running, i slipped! haizzzzzzzzzzz... :(

after the perf i saw agnes chan. she was the student councillor president during my batch in tjc. she told me she was so shocked to see me dance, cos during the jc days, i perform wushu. she said she is not used to this "role reversal". =p

here are some photos to share. i think the guys really look good in the different pastel colored shirts.

dun you agree?

performance is here!

after so many weeks of torturous practises, the dates for the performance is finally approaching.

actually it is just tomorrow. first show, 8 pm.

the second show will be on sat 4 pm. final show is sat 8 pm.

yes practises are tiring, but i still love attending these pratises, thanks to the pple in my dance items. they are a really fun bunch, and also very committed.

i am so thankful that there are no sucky-attitude dancers in 3 of my dance items.

i pity that particular item's choreo and dance ic for having these pple. these pple simply dun have a sense of responsibility, dun have commitment, and they themselves dun dance very good either. haiz.

see the photo above? very zai rite?

dancers in nus chinese dance also can do that ok!

i present to you one very good example:

let's put our hands together...

natas @ singapore expo

went to natas with my army friends leow chee leong and mak hong sen.

we were looking for a 3D2N holiday for the good friday weekend.

our budget was small, so can only go to places like bangkok, phuket, changmai, bali, bintan or batam.

and after much deciding...

BATAM is the place!

when we went to the counter to book, the girl even volunteered to give one of us a five minute massage. we were shy and politely refused. but she insisted.

so in the end... guess who went to try?

me lah of course. hahahaha.

the package includes ferry trip to and fro, 2 nights stay at the hotel, and a massage at the spa. looking forward to this short holiday! :)

batam here i come~

dancing in school

during one of the assemblies, a group of dancers came down to the sch to perform.

and then they ask for teachers to go up on stage to perform.

my hod ask me to go up on stage to start the ball rolling.

so i went up, and start sabohing some of my colleagues and my kids to go up on stage to accompany me.

the chinese dancers are very good. their technique and flexibility are superb. when i chit chat with them, i found out they actually noe zhou lao shi and ding lao shi.

nus chinese dancers who read my blog, do you recognise them?
