sexes in the city

this is one item which is quite special, and if this is the first item that you watch for the concert, you may ask yourself: is this chi dance?

haha yah that's how special it is.

another dance with numerous pdd stunts, which requires lots of chemistry and 默契 between two dance partners. but sad to say, me and my dance partner have none. HAHA~

but i must say that my dance partner is a very good dancer and she looks very good on stage. that's why i am quite stressed when dancing with her cos i afraid watever i do will not make her shine on stage. i dance ugly also nvm, at least she will stand out compared to me, and i am totally fine with it.

so for the first segment of the dance, me and her are executives in the office, and our pdd portion depicts office politics. that's why you can see something like a duel between me and her. she is the one jumping here and there, legs everywhere.

while i am just on the ground supporting. haha. the only outstanding part for me is doing the matrix and rolling on the floor. =p

this item also has alot of pro dancers. that's why i always very sian when i go for practises for this item, and i always feel inferior among them.

anyway i will like to introduce 2 gals out of the pro dancers. both of them are damn flexible and have very good technique. but the thing is hor, when they tie up their hair, change into white shirt and black tights, they look almost the same! cant really differentiate them apart. just that the only big difference is melissa is taller than zhunian.

who is who? i think the one doing the split in the air is melissa. the one on the floor is zhunian

and now... guess who is this person?

very hard to guess... but i think is zhunian.

laval 心机重:

finally, i will like to pay a tribute to my pdd partners. thank you for putting up with my nonsense, my inability, my mistakes and my mood. thank you for guiding me and giving me alot of pointers so that we can improve, and also look good on stage.

(not listed in any order of merit, but listed based on the date that we performed. although chio outdoor enthusiast and xinyi are both in psyche, but winter item comes before distance, so chio outdoor enthusiast is at the top.)

*bows 90 degrees in gratitude to my dance partners*

of course, i must pay the final tribute to my darling. i noe is hard on you to see me dance with 4 different girls. thank you for being so 大方 on that. and most importantly, thank you for not splashing acid on their faces. HAHA NO LAH. of course i noe u wun do that.

*kiss darling passionately with love, care and concern*

thursday post & 我的家园 pics

finally, i am liberated for this week.

as you all know, i am super stressed with assignment deadlines. and i am glad that i had finally completed them and submitted them today. yay!

but this is only the start. i got two more weeks of hell coming up.

here's the 残酷的事实:

6 Oct - submit podcast (for communication skills module); basketball indivual skills assessment

7 Oct - presentation (education psychology)

9 Oct - basketball team play assessment

13 Oct - written test (principles of games)

15 Oct - presentation (using facebook as a technology tool for teaching)

16 Oct - written test (basketball)

hope i din miss anything out. haha.

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

as promised, here are the pics from 我的家园.

as we go to the left~

as we go to the right~

as we walk, as we walk, as we walk all night~

this is a perfect example of 破坏行情.

the final pose. both laval and i have the common consensus that hz has become heavier compared to last year.

this item can be said as the safest item, cos we performed it last year. not only that, some of the dancers performed this item with a grand total of 16 times in korea. plus the 2 times in chinatown for the buddha tooth temple. so that's why these steps are called the IMMORTALISED STEPS.

even though this is the safest item, it is also the most complacent item, since everyone will think that: "aiyah, dance so many times already, wun cock up one lah." and it doesnt help that the dance ic for this item is quite slack, who also happen to be my partner for sexes. =p

the expressions part for this dance quite easy, just need to smile widely and be super happy. not like 清男 and 出路, expressions so difficult to 拿捏. 出路 is the most difficult, cos you must be 苦, and at the same time you must have hope for the future. i dunno how to portray the hope part, and sometimes my 苦 will become 凶. haha~

清男 performance pics

first of all, selamat hari raya to my malay friends, malay colleagues, and malay students. and happy children's day to all the children in the world, especially my cute cousins.

a public holiday, and i am in hall, rushing my assignments. haiz everything has to blame on my procrastination. =p

but one thing that boost my morale a bit is chio outdoor enthusiast uploaded all the performance pics for every item!

first of all, presenting 清男.

but i am not too satisfied with the pics. its not that the quality is not good. its just that i dun look good or dun look seh or dun look shuai4. haha.

and because everyone look almost the same and most of the time i am either being blocked or my back view is shown, a yellow arrow is used to indicate where i am.

this is actually my most confident item, cos number 1, some of the dance moves are quite wushu, which i really like, and number 2, got no pdd, so that i am not responsible for my partner's safety and appearance on stage. but of course when responsibility comes i am ready to take it, so dun 误会 that i dun like pdd ok. haha.

but then during one of the rehearsals, good teacher say i keep looking at other dancers' actions and its very obvious. that was like a knife being stabbed into my heart, and from then on, i tell myself i wun do that anymore and just dance confidently. but who knows, when i dance "confidently", i 抢拍子, meaning my actions are faster than the rest at a particular portion of the music, and i got scolded by siaoyan jie for that. haha. 进退两难 leh. so the best solution is to dance with confidence, listen to the music, and at the same time look at the other dancers DISCREETLY so that audience wun think that is so obvious that i dunno actions.

in the end, after hearing pple's comments and watching the dvd, the item is still quite messy. =p

next up will be 我的家园.

i am peacemaker

to ang hw and gorgeous grace.

whenever both of you have the urge to bicker:

peace~

庆功宴!

i got assignments to rush, but let me blog first before completing the assignments. haha.

so sat night is the long awaited qing gong yan. after filming chu lu pristine version (as wat chio outdoor enthusiast calls it which i also dunno wat pristine means), we went for a quick wash up and then prepare to set off for laoshi's condo where the qing gong yan is held. coincidentally my youngest uncle stays at the same condo.

both chio outdoor enthusiast and i drove, so all the girls squeeze in chio outdoor enthusiast's car, and only hw followed me. no girl wants to follow me. haiz. chio outdoor enthusiast went straight to laoshi's house and i went to KE to fetch darling cos she has a xqrj meeting. anyway xqrj got nus student achievement award! congrats! i think no need me to publicise lah, from the members' msn nick can tell already.

as we were on our way to laoshi's place, which is at tanjong rhu, hanwei received a call from grace tiang. there were two vegetarians among the dancers, which is zhimin and the ASM, and the exco forgot to get vegetarian food for them, so grace ask on the exco's behalf whether we can get two packets of vegetarian food, with a super tight budget of 8 bucks.

thankfully i am a easterner and i noe tanjong rhu area quite well cos my sec sch is near there and last time my parents always bring the whole family to this hawker centre in tanjong rhu for meals. so first i drove to the hawker centre to try my luck. and then no luck cos got no vegetarian. i very tempted to just go to the zhi char stall and ask them to fry some gai lan to go with the rice, but dunno whether is darling or hw who said that the vegetarian food is not authentic enough.

so i started brainstorming for other places that may have vegetarian food, and old airport road hawker centre comes into my mind. so off we went.

old airport road hawker centre si bei big, and we walk and walk, and finally found the authentic vegetarian stall! they got all sorts of vegetarian food, even got fish and chips and pork chop, vegetarian version. but both cost five bucks each, and we only got 8 bucks budget, so in the end we bought the hokkien mee and mee goreng, altogether five bucks. haha.

hanwei also bought some fried durian at one of the stalls. taste awesomely good! definitely a must buy if i go there again.

finally we reach laoshi's place. started playing some sort of card game which i dunno the name. and then it was eating the food and mingle-ing around. entertainment was showing our performance dvd in a rather innovative manner.

using a laptop, a projecter, speakers and a screen made of white mahjong paper. ups lah!

some of us have to leave early because we going leisure park to watch 画皮. when we were about to leave, siaoyan aka siao onz dance ic (the one who made 男生男生 popular) ask all of us to take a pic together before leaving.

(who has the darkest leg?)

(brokeback lamp post)

画皮 is nice! in this movie, 爱情 is the main component. the 武打 component is just secondary.

there is this very touching line in the movie:

"不管你是人，还是妖，我都永远爱你，因为你是我的夫人。"

the moment i hear this, my eyes start getting wet. but haven cry yet.

then when i turn my head to the right...

i saw on both darling and huishi faces, tears just came down like waterfall from their eyes.

yah lah is really very touching.

after the movie we went to kbox for ktv. and we sang until 330 am. and i wun ever go kbox again during the night. so expensive!

and we took one group photo before we went home to sleep:

ok back to my assignments le. :(

出路 restage

because of qing gong yan, the welfare head from exco send out an appeal for pple to come up with 余兴节目 so that the qing gong yan will be very entertaining.

so i suggested doing a restage of 出路 with 动力火车's 我吃得起苦, and then dance ic also onz about it, and then she sms the dancers, and majority also onz, and even choreographer also onz, so steady lah! 出路's group dynamics really super strong.

we went to as7 in the afternoon to recap the steps and then do the whole performance, and mike help us video the whole thing. we cant do at qing gong yan cos there is no space! haha. so we just play the video for everyone to see. :p

grace said she look like some 阿嫂.

presenting to you the guanyin from nus chi dance.

the final pose. 哦弥陀佛~

choreographer with dancers

dancers - the farmers and the maids. haha.

出路 performance photos

thank you pro photographer for the well taken pics.

thank you chio outdoor enthusiast for uploading them so fast.

at the beginning. the 3 pdd couples in the boat. suddenly waters become very choppy and the females become seasick and the guys go and console them.



走出去就有路~



the females become the 包袱




the most spectacular stunt: 3 guys + zengyan. its a waste that the stunt din look that spectacular on stage during both performances, cos we experience some difficulties, which we also dunno the reason. haiz.

the final pose:



i look like i want to die already. haha. seriously this is quite a shag item becos of the numerous lifts.

and the favourite pic out of the 出路 series:

i also dunno why i close my eyes so tightly. its like i am praying and telling myself: "partner you must not fall, partner you must not fall"

friday post

si bei si bei sian.

si bei si bei stressed.

i got two assignments due next week.

one on nx thur. it takes up 30 percent of the final grade.

the other one is nx fri. also 30 percent.

and i do until super tired and bored. i have been pausing and playing the same video for like 100 times to analyse how my cousin jump. whether he got take off with both feet, or whether he got swing both arms to assist the jumping action.

now i want to sleep le. cannot take it.

i need a morale booster!



.





.





both girls: "we are here to boost you~*



...



......




PIANG!!!!!!! (sound of glass breaking)



*wake up from my dream*


anyway its nice to be back home. my parents are back from south africa. and they bought a cape of good hope tshirt for me. :)

because i do my assignment until very sian, i sometimes will go youtube watch 天龙八部. the hk 97 version, where felix wong is 乔峰.

he is really damn wu sei in this drama serial.

wu sei to the extent that i wish to emulate him. i cant possibly do 降龙十八掌 or 打狗棒法.

so i use his lines as my msn nick. haha.



所谓精忠报国: 一是保家卫国；二是改善民生，令老百姓丰衣足食，安居乐业，绝不能为一己私欲，妄动干戈，将老百姓推向水深火热之地



damn 伟大 rite?

looking forward to qing gong yan tomorrow, and hopefully can watch 画皮 after that.

笑着流泪

classic song by the chio bu below:

忘了为什么想痛哭一场

你给的理由听来都牵强

说服不了我只好继续假装

眼底没有泪光

几乎要承认对感情失望

但你一靠近又想要原谅

伤心的话语都往心里面藏

受不了也不讲

我笑着流泪就怕夜色太漫长

必须面对失去你的凄凉

温柔已经让我受了伤

多痛一点又何妨

我笑着流泪把快乐留在脸上

不让你看到谁变的心慌

所有关于爱你的迷惘

都让我一个人尝

new shoes

i bought 2 new pairs of asics shoes!

for running - gel nimbus 10

for court (eg. basketball, volleyball, futsal): gel rocket

white + blue color combi rocks~ :)

supper at 888

wow, to think i still get to eat supper with some of the dancers when there's no more dance practises. very very 难得~

hoho~

HO

HO HO

(music for ding laoshi's modern item)

ok nvm not funny.

seriously, i will miss all the catchy phrases from DR08.

ding laoshi: 来，听我说~

zhou laoshi: 压着跑，压着跑~

hao laoshi: 你们 (blah blah blah blah) OK~ 要 (blah blah blah blah) OK~

siaoyan jie: 男生，男生~

and lastly, michael's POM POM POM POM POM.

which i think only he noes wat he is POMing about, and none of us noe wat tune he is POMing to. haha.

ok, jokes aside, back to the supper.

drove all the way from NTU to woodlands to eat supper with the woodlanders. if you are puzzled why i can drive, is because my parents went to South Africa to travel, and will only be back this thursday.

nice supper session, with all the funny chit chats, especially squabbles between hw and the rest of the girls. haha.
