This week's dance practice was changed to Monday and Thursdays instead of Tues. MOnday there's class at 7+pm till 8.30pm. Then the studio is free for us to use till 9.30pm. I've met the bunch of students there b4, when i was still there. I've dropped out of the class for 2 mths to prepare for this salsa performance thingie. Hai. But not that i really missed them cos they are a new bunch of pple who learnt basic 1 ..now they are at basic 2. My own batch is like scattered around and i prefer being with my bunch of aunties,uncles and boys. They are so fun lor.
So i was there early to just practice myself, honing my moves infront of the mirror while the rest carried on with the class. Then the gals were like bugging derrick and me to 'perform' so that they can get 'inspired' too. Alamak...wanna get inspired u can do so by watching youtube mah. U don dance without warm ups, it's juz gonna look ugly.
Anyway the dance practice was tedious. I haven't felt this tedious for so long, i don't know y. I gez we didn't really warm up that's y. We just jumped right into doing the whole thing again and again. Really dead tired after an hr. There were times where i was half way into the routine and i felt like all my energy were gone and i couldn't carry on anymore.
My feeling towards the competition n performance is a bloody mixed one. On one hand, i don't wan my efforts to go down to waste u know. So yes im going to do my bestest. But on the other hand i can't b bothered more aldy.Bcos no matter how i worry about how im gonna suck esp when everyone is so zai...the more down i feel, the more i'll really suck. Derrick kept telling mi, u juz don care and do ur things, now u are not that gd but in the future u will catch up with many pple. These pple have danced salsa for years and some prepared for this for like a yr? How do u expect to do well with juz ahem 2 months of preparation ah.
I started learning salsa in nov 05. I onli started alittle training 5 mths back. Out of these 5 mths..the last 2 mths were focused on this performance. I had such a short time. But watever lar. Im juz gonna do my best. And NEVER ...NEVER do this again. NEVER ever compete or perform in such big occassion at such short notice again! Man if im not stressed to death, my body is definetely tiring out. And more white hair bcos of all the stress that i added to myself ....juz cos i like to dance.
I don like to stress myself out. Just like i really don like stressing myself out to plan a holiday but no choice, i do think it's cheaper to plan urself and go free and easy for a better holiday experience. But everytime i plan it's like wah..so much work by the time i fly away...i really needed the holiday. haha..
This week felt much betta than last week. I gez i was all worried,counting down to my dance performance but this week i simply start to bochup aldy!! IN fact, get it done with and giv my life back to me!!! There will b no dancing for 3 weeks yeah!!!! yeah!!! ALl work and no play makes me a dumb gal. Muz have more time for frens, family, rabbit and other social life.And i can't beleieve the kind of thigns im missing out bcos i'm involved in performing andi have to train. I mean this whole week has classes and parties and other competitions at various places for the salsa congress and im missing them all out bcos i have to train...alamak........i wish im not participating lor.
Anyway a jay chow vid ..i think it's a little silly the mtv..but i like the lyrics. V touching...... dedicate it to my mom. But she wouldn't know that i dedicate this to her anyway.
