Thanks to my frens who showed concern over my mom and me. We are ok aldy. haha..
ahem...
Tonite, the dancing practice has been moved to Raffles Town club tonite.SOmehow im really so thankful there's not dance practice today but the other side of me kinda worrying abt the lack of one practice. Tonite we going to juz go and enjoy ourselves at the dance club there..many dances, juz play ard. And not serious salsa dancing. My whole body has been aching and hurting terribly. LIke since weeks ago bcos of all the tedious dancing. Im so in pain -_-
To really put into numbers and words of how much i've put in for this performance...i started salsa a yr ago, exactly a yr ago. But it was onli like 7-8 mths later, on June 22nd,2006 that i started real training once a week. Till this week, i've only..listen up......danced .....20 times. Practiced 20 times. Bcos i used to onli train once a week rem? SO what you see on the recent video clip? It's onli 18 times of training my friends. And each training abt 2 hrs...well at xenbar's those 2 times were like 3 hrs. Tis tue's is the 20th time of practice. We didn't dance much at xenbar. Juztin onli corrected some parts were we need to have BIGGER movements bcos this is perfomance, if for leisure dancing it is v nice, but performance is another thing. The previous Tues, Juztin tried to teach mi and Derrick the technique of back flip and curtwheels..wat to look out for. Last Thurs we practiced alittle of the curtwheels..tough..all my screaming and complainings eventually stopped Derrick from practicing it. And we tried again on Tues over at xenbar. I muz say..pple practiced 9 whole months and still haven't perfected them, later the same nite, we showed wat we could do after juz an hr of practice..and Juztin was really impressed. Even Derrick was so shocked that i managed to do it perfectly in such a short time that he was juz short of screaming hallelujah and doing starfish jumps on the spot.
And after that day, my body aching like hell again. it's like constant achings and hurts all over, bruises etc...... I really love dancing. And i love the way i can move my body like that. Im improving by leaps at each training session. Bcos i don't have more time for dancing, i do push myself more during each training. I gez past dancing expereience in sec sch does help alot. Bcos i get concepts and techniques easier. Im training myself to be able to do splits again. I mean in the past i was able to do handstand as well, but i never mastered handstand and then split in the air..that was tough..u need to be able to do oversplit, that means more than 180 degree split on the ground b4 u can do the handstand+split. I can onli do 180 degree split haha..
Besides that im really drained and tired to the point of breaking down. I gez i ask too much ffrom myself. For family, for social life, for dance. I lack so much sleep. And yeah i did break down last nite when i decided to go to bed. I could feel all those tears and swelling of my throat so i let everything out i cried and felt so horrible.
Decided i shd go to God to make mi feel betta. I know in my head i need to give e verything to God, it's precisely cos im doing everything myself that i feel so drained.
12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:12-15.
I gez onli God has the amazing ability to give peace like straightaway as i prayed and mediatate on verses. Forgiving is towards my mom. Forgive as God as forgiven you.And give thanks in watever u do. Do it in the name of God watever you do, including my dancing. Then i feel so much betta. Let watever dances i do..b for glory of GOd. Bcos He gave mi the ability and talents to dance and enjoy dancing.
With that aside, i went to dl Google Earth and had a terrific time playing with it. So i decided to search for Kuching, Sarawak.
For pple who does not know where Sarawak is, altho i've like mentioned it 10 thousand times. It's in the big fat continent of BORNEO. And goodness i know u don't even know where is Borneo so..tadaaa...
I know sometimes singaporeans have a v poor geographical knowledge,like wat Mr Brown Illustrated..
Anyway once you spot Kuching, u double click and the program would zoom in slowly. Images of buildings,roads came into view. 
This is the city of Kuching, of cos not the small dot onli lar...as in the central of Kuching city lar. I was shocked that i could even see the circled club house that my aunt sometimes would used to bring us to go swimming when we were back. It's often the image that local newspaper would use whenever it's the haze period. Kuching has v few high rise buildings, and this is one of those that few ones, i 4got how high it is. But it has a restaurant at the top, This building only has that restaurant. And of cos the view is fantastic lar. So since i can find the club hse, given it's unique shape. I muz b able to locate my grandpa's house as it is juz along the Sarawak River, that run across Kuching.
The small circle is where i suppose his hse would be, bcos i know it's just before the flyover(yes a pretty long flyover..bcos the river is really huge...i have no idea y singapore river is named so bcos it looks like mere canal compared to a Sarawak river) across the river. So i zoomed in...
And the suspension bridge besides the flyover can b clearly seen here. SO yes i got the right place. The old suspension bridge used to b the onli way across the river. It's also one of the monuments supposedly to b maintained but u know lar..gahmen didn't maintain, the last time i went, the suspension bridge had actually collpased. This suspension bridge was one of the few real suspension bridges ard. WHen i was younger, we used to b able to still walkk on it, the floorings are made up of pranks of wood put together, in b/w each wood, a gap of ard 5 cm, the whole bridge held up together by steel lar..it's really quite spectacular, esp when u can see the river below and how wide the river were. My uncle used to entertain us with stories of crocodiles in this area when he was younger. MY gosh. Wat a nightmare. I was quite upset when i saw the collapsed bridge. But now it's on the satellite photo, does that mean they restored the bridge? Or this photo was taken yrs ago?? hmmm...
THe rest of kuching, i really can't identify much...but i was pretty shocked by how big kuching is...hmm..and some really weird buildings that i can't put any recollections to. SO i gez they are real..but looks so big ???
Like wat is this??? Huge stadium? A mine??? NO memories..of such a building..
Can dl and try out urself guys..mayb search clementi out from Singapore..I kinda tried. haha..cannot locate clementi. But anyway im off to try see wat other parts of sarawak looks like..mayb i can go see petronas tower rite..hee
UPDATES:
I managed to find clementi hahahaa..bcos i spotted dover mrt..shiny siah..haha
I realised after i circled out my blog and saved as JPEG i circled the wrong block -_-..that's the guy's block..lazy to edit..so haha...leave it as it is
Here i pointed out correctly my block.
Since the piece of land behind my area is barren and Nan Hua sec sch seems to b still in contruction. I guess the photo was taken more than a yr back. Tat kinda explains y the suspension bridge was still intact. I doubt they restored the bridge..ah so sad
