assignment involving my cousin

this afternoon i went to my cousin's house to do an assignment.

for this assignment, my lecturer wants us to find a kid, primary sch level, and then ask the kid to perform a locomotor skill and ballistic skill. if you all dunno wat locomotor and ballistic is, locomotor means walking, running, jumping, hopping and skipping; whereas ballistic means throwing, kicking or catching.

i ask my cousin to do a vertical jump, and then do a overarm throw with a tennis ball. he will do both skills first, then based on wat he did, i have to use about 30 min to teach him how to improve his technique on jumping and throwing. and then the whole process must be videotaped, and photographs must be taken, and most importantly, i must be inside the video and the photographs.

so of course i need the help of an assistant, and this person is none other than:

.





.

(no prizes for guessing correctly. haha.)

my cousin is really cute and active. choosing him as my subject is the best choice.

for the vertical jump:

doing "天" stunt on my cousin. he enjoys the feeling of being raised up in the air. haha.

over arm throw:

look at the seriousness on his face

ok assignment done! thank you adorable cousin for being my subject and being so patient with me, and being so active. thank you darling for helping me to videotape the whole thing and take photos. thank you to my auntie for being so cooperative to lend me her son.

let me introduce again, the child celebrity of the day:

the lollipop is from me to reward his efforts. haha.

saturday post

darling is not angry with me le~ yay~ :)

the whole of sat was spent at darling's house. we studied together in her bedroom. its nice to have someone to study with, cos can motivate each other and nag at each other when one of us is slacking, which most of the case is she nag at me. haha.

in the evening we went to jog and i must tell you, woodlands is an amazing place. the field behind the sports sch is really wonderful. jogging at the field makes you feel really good, and the feeling is entirely different from jogging on the track or jogging at bedok reservoir. i love that place.

darling's mum cooked a wonderful dinner again. i have one whole cod fish steak for myself. woo hoo~ talk about indulgence man.

after that went to meet up with my army friends for supper, despite still feeling full and satisfied from the dinner. we went to upper thomson road again. for those who dunno, i have been going upper thomson road quite frequently for suppers after dance practises. the bak chor mee is to die for man! opposite the bak chor mee got this shop called crab shack, which serve very nice western food. and beside crab shack got this shop called cheeky chocolate, and you must order the warm chocolate cake.

so we went to crab shack, and i went to order the warm chocolate cake for my army friends to try. they also love it.

after supper, the night is still young, and one of them suggested going to bishan park. 3 guys go bishan park on a wonderful quiet night. how gay is that. haha. but i must say the place is very nice, and even got a few restaurants. next time can bring darling go there try. :)

michael, my choreographer for 出路 (the one with farmer costumes) and sexes (the one with working attire) uploaded his photos!

男生，男生~ it seems that the 9 guys never have a chance to take one group photo together. its always one guy missing.

the 苦力 wants to leave, and so break up with the 清朝王子.

i always love big group photos. :)

friday post

this morning when i woke up, i saw sms-es from chio outdoor enthusiast and gorgeous grace. and i got a shock. hw is hospitalised because he got a fit relapse. i remember the first time he got it, i was at the 案发现场. at that time i was in a state of shock. i am sure the pple present at that time were also shocked. thankfully my hall got medicine students, and luckily my wushu friend was also around, who is a year five medicine student at that time.

went to visit him at NUH at around four plus, and knowing that he will be extremely bored, i bought him a magazine.

.

k lah no lah, just kidding.

i bought him this (for real):

but is not this issue. is the sept one but i cant find the mag cover on google images.

he looks fine. i asked him wat happened, and he said he got it yesterday afternoon when he went home. by the time he woke up he was already on the ambulance.

i noe u r reading this, and is not i want to nag you, but it is not SAFE for you to ride a bike. 请你三思...

went for dinner with darling. wanted to go holland v, but hor because i park at sci, the 95 route to buona vista is already jammed with cars and buses, because of the rush hour. and then hor the carpark fee cost me five dollars plus, which i super duper pissed! hello i only park there for an hour or so! if i noe its so ex i should have park at NUH lah, valet parking at 4 bucks only! damn chor leh. wah lao.

ok back to the holland v thingy, i change my route to clementi road, then turn to dover road, then to north buona vista road. and then i suddenly thought of going to rochester park, because heard from my colleague that it is quite a nice place but atas place, and the food there is fine dining concept, super ex that kind. so we went there to try. and we went to this restaurant called min jiang which serve chinese cuisine.

the food there really ex leh. order set meal ex. order ala carte also ex. so in the end we ordered the cheapest set meal, 48 bucks per person.

first dish: appetizer. hot and cold combi. hot is codfish with sweet chilli sauce. codfish rocks. crispy on the outside, soft inside. 入口即化. cold is prawn with mango sauce. prawn is fresh and goes well with the sauce.

second dish: shark fin soup.

third dish: popcorn chicken (atas version). quite spicy, cos is deep fried sze chuan style.

forth dish: brocolli with assorted mushrooms. at first we thought the brown slices are abalone, but its actually mushroom. -_-'''

fifth dish: 炸酱面. super nice.

last dish: dessert. 黑米粥 with vanilla ice cream. 绝配! i seriously din noe can 配 like that.

very expensive meal, but very fulfilling and satisfying. service is excellent too. this place cannot go everytime, but once in one or two years should be fine, to 宠一宠自己.

after that went to ucc hall to watch ensemble. want to feel for myself how isit like being an audience. haha. not bad actually, but i was a bit bored. some of the dance items are too long, and quite draggy. but i must say all the dancers have very very good technique, guys included. they damn flexible, they can spin like three rounds or more like no one's business. the items that gave me the deepest impression are the item choreo-ed by zaki, the one choreo-ed by dan koh, and lastly the item depicting life and death, where the choreographer got the inspiration from his road trip in europe. judging from the dance, i think the choreographer got quite a bad experience during his road trip, or he 跟死亡擦肩而过.

and then fetch darling to airport. she sending her friend off, who is going for SEP at scotland. there was a bunch of pple there, and i dun feel like mingle-ling (is there such a word) with them, so i quite sian, then when i sian, my black face will come out, which nobody dares to talk to me also. haha. i think this is the second time that happened already. i just have bad experiences when it comes to meeting darling's friends. maybe from now on i should just siam away from her friends' gatherings. made darling so angry that she refused to talk to me from airport all the way back to her house. haiz. :(

pics of the performance

as a performer, i always love the stage.

i also love to see nice pictures of myself taken on stage, showing nice dance poses and good expressions. simply said, 把最帅和最美的自己呈现出来.

so far for the very few pics that i had seen, is either my back view is shown, or i am blocked by someone, or i am being cut off away from the picture, or even though got my front view, but i am too small to be seen, and the dance pose not very nice.

but i am sure there are more pics to come, and hopefully got a few really nice pictures. :)

ok now let me show some shots from our official pro photographer:

1) 清男. only show fen's and jianwu's face. i am one of the few at the back.

2) 出路 1. i dun even noe which one is my hand. haha.

3) 出路 2. super unsynchronised. tsk tsk.

4) sexes 1. finally a bigger version of me, but it is my back view. -_-'''

5) sexes 2. i quite like this pic. all of us very syncrho. wow!

and then hor, i chance upon this 3 pics in flickr.

1) 清男. i am being blocked. -_-'''

2) 妈姐. i love the feel in this pic.

3) 旗袍. guess who are the dancers? i think the one furthest away from the red background is yeelian. the other 2 i not quite sure.

let's hope this particular person got take quite a few photos and quickly upload the rest on flickr. now we got 2 pro photographers! yay~

for the 新宠

this post is specially dedicated to my good friend mr ang hw.

one year ago, when i first joined chi dance, and for my first ever performance with them, i was super happy and excited, and went around taking all sorts of crazy pics.

this year, same goes for him. its great seeing him so fast 融入 into this big family. hope to see you perform for arts fest next year in march and future performances to come!

so let me just show a few OUTSTANDING pics of him:

1) piggy-back female yy, also known as guanyin. pls focus on hw's expression. seriously i dunno whether isit an expression of orgasm, because he get to carry guanyin; or isit an expression of pain, because guanyin too heavy.

2) R21. not for pure innocent girls in chi dance.

3) brokeback mountain (清朝 version)

4) 色情 to the max. watch out for his right hand. haha.

5) this is like both him and zn just finish a quickie in the dressing room. and the girl in the middle was born.

AND.

the next pic shows how much influence hw has over the girls.

disclaimer: these pics shown above doesnt mean anything. the guy may not be a 金童. but the girls are definitely 玉女.

《朔·溯·塑》diary part 3

even though we had some refreshments, we were still hungry, and the night is still young, and this may also be our last chance going for supper together after dance, some of us decided to go for... SUPPER.

we went to the 老 hk cafe for steamboat again! i specially recommend the 鱼头汤底. super nice!

hungry ghosts waiting for food to come

finally the food is here!

(seriously hor i dunno why hw's face is so serious when eating)

after the yummy supper, it was already one plus am, and i quite tired, and wanted to go home. but hw, partner and partner two still 不甘愿 and dun want to go back home so early. so we decided to go sing ktv and the nearest place is marine parade kbox, so i brought them there. on the way to k box, 发生一点小小的插曲 which is super embarassing and i refuse to reveal the details here. haha. upon reaching kbox... the place is CLOSED.

yay time to go home! but they still 不甘愿, and want to go east coast park chit chat and watch sunrise. -_-'''

well we still went east coast park, we still chit chatted, but we went home at 4 plus in the morning. and partner who is the most 不甘愿 is the first one to KO on the cab. -_-'''

ok this concludes the whole diary. there are still quite a few things which i wish to blog regarding the performance. stay tuned.

《朔·溯·塑》diary part 2

sorry to my dear readers who are so looking forward to reading my posts on DR08, but i just dun have the time to blog, because of tests and assignments.

now that i can catch a breather, i shall continue. :)

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

all rite, after the two pm show, and after looking for our friends at the ucc lobby, we went back to the dressing rooms to take a rest and prepare for the 8 pm show.

the exco bought a big chocolate cake to reward all the dancers, and they even bought a rose for each dancer! but i broke mine in a short while cos i use it to shoo away a fly who was flying above the cake. =p

after that i was super tired, cos not enough sleep the previous night plus dancing 4 items in the afternoon show totally shag me out. i was also feeling super dirty from the immense pespiration that i got from dancing. so i went to bathe in the ucc toilet, and the hot water super shiok, make me super comfortable. but then i also still unable to fall asleep in the dressing room, and by the time i decided to give up sleeping, its already six plus and we have to get ready for the 8 pm show already. -_-'''

went around taking pics again before the 8 pm show:

the performance ended with a standing oviation from the audience. i think the applause was louder for the night show compared to the afternoon show. probably because there were more pple, and also because our items were much better and not that messy. haha.

supposed to have 4 kids coming to watch the 8 pm show. but they lost their way and din come in the end. -_-'''

since me, darling and hw dun have any supporters for the 8 pm show, we went up to the second level of ucc to grab some bites at the refreshment area. ding laoshi came later and some of the 男生 take picture with her.

i think ding laoshi is quite chio in her own way, and she look exceptionally stunning in evening gown. haha. she came to me and hw, and praised the both of us for making tremendous improvement. :)

ok let me end part 2 with a post from someone's blog. i dunno who she is, but i believe she is one of the TAT dancers.

Well erm overall I liked the entire concept of the performance, hated how sometimes the music would just cut and another melody would play and the dancers were good. :)

There were MANY MANY lifts. As in the guys would carry the girls and do crazy stunts la. And I'm so amazed at how effortless they make it seem!

The first dance was pretty boring cos it was the Manchu princess (格格) they were trying to depict and wow their costumes are so cool! They have the head dress with the tassels, and then the shoes is the real one with the pom pom on the end and the mini platform in the middle!!!Love the costume. :D

The guys one was okay...I thought it lacked the impact cos there were too few people. (Oh I don't like the UCC stage cos its not say very big but its too high. But the lightings ROCK!)

Then I think after that was Zhengjie's solo and he is SO GOOD! He's so smooth and graceful but his jumps have the 爆发力.I was pretty impressed by him cos I think he improved ALOT and he's super good now la.

And the qian hong-like dance after that just showed that the girls are all good and solid and flexible. And there were alot of lifts.

The ma jie dance was very touching, even though the ending was kind of like... the twist was very sudden la I should say.

Then the opera one. Their 感觉 and 韵味 is very good! And I would love to dance that kind of dance... but it was sort of dull after awhile.Loved the sleeves though. XD

Oh then was the qipao dance.They were wearing heels la! And it became like some chinese moulin rouge in the middle. Quite cute that dance.

Then was last year's DR. Bittersweet again. I was like dancing along. -_-''' XD Cos they did 第三 and 第四段. And I was missing Korea so much. Can't believe its almost been a year...so many things have changed. Well, some things are still the same.

Okay. So after that was I think Michael's piece? Like three mini dances. :) Then next was the work one. I liked that dance! The music was so chinese but the steps were like...lyrical jazz. And I spotted Sophia with her red hair! She's SUCH a mover la. :D

I don't know who choreo-ed it but I LOVE the dance! It is a little SYTYCD-like but that's not really a bad thing. Haha I think its a dance that everyone can enjoy watching. :)

Then K Idol.Okay Fen is the ONLY person who can do that.

Then the last dance. Eh. Kind of pointless leh. The value of the dance didn't jump out to me quite as much as the others, so maybe its just me la. But all in all, NUSCD rocks! And there are a bit too many similar lifts but they created nice effects. :)

*part 3 coming up SOON, hopefully*
