I'm actually very glad i took mc on MOnday, bcos the following days of the week were so draining.
Monday: dance class
Tuesdays : dance practice. But it turned out to b a costume try out session instead. Derrick bought the 2nd hand costume for 200+ bucks.He says we need something dramatic, cos pple are paying us to dance. No costumes no gd. SO had to try it on and see if it fits. Anyway it fits like a charm. The lady who wore this set of costume muz b short as me. ANyway a 1st hand tailored made would b ard $1k. Gasp. Yes...they are THAT expensive. Then Derrick made me make some poses....
Personally speaking, i don't like green. Im VERY reluctant to wear THIS. But ...it's $200? Im just so not used to wearing something like that. It's totally bare back, so you can see my whole back till the hips. Im shocked when i wore it cos i've never seen my back like this ever!! I muz admit that...haha i think it's VERY sexy...i can't believe it. The beige front is opaque, not transparent..nor isit my skin. so yeah....do i really have to wear this? diaoz.
For the salsa part of the performance i'll be wearing black shimmering dress that i've posted up months ago.
WEdnesday : New group leaders' training.
Thursday : Supposed to have dance practice at Orchid Country Club (yishun) but Derrick just accepted the job of teaching at Fuchun CC (Marsiling). So i followed him. Class was from 8pm to 9.30pm. WE only had half an hr before n after class to practice. The aunties in the class were so funny. 3 aunties. 4 other ladies who seem to b in their late 20s. I was the 'male' partner in the class as we lacked guys, so i had to do the guys' steps and lead the ladies. One aunty actually commented that ' oh you can really shake man...' in mandarin when i danced with her. -_- I replied with a thank you.
Friday : Deying came over to my house. WE took out her caramel Baileys and drank. After that, she decided that we should drink a bottle of the Hoegarden as well. SO we were in my room getting high n all....
And decided to take a photo of our state of drunkness........ but it turned out looking quite scandalous hahaha....after Albert saw this photo, he's been telling me not to do the wrong things with a girl. oh he's so cute. btw....Wat happened to my eyebrows in this photo!!!?!!
Saturday: 8.45-1.30pm was my 2nd part of the group leaders' training. I really was so tempted to just not go. I was SOOO tired. Not to mention that im aldy very tired everyday, drained out by my wonderfully packed schedules. Friday night, Iris wanted to chat on the phone regarding some stuffs, she seldom asks for a chat. So yap. Dragged till 2am, in my head i was thinking of how i can skip the training. SO bad of me. There would b the training on another time, all i have to do is sign up again. But that would b a waste of my wed's time wouldn't it? But yet on the other hand, saturaday would b a long long day for me too. But in the end i decided to still go for the training. Stoned thru the lesson. There were many parts where we needed to interact with the others. I was just kinda stoning but i did talk. Sitting on my right was this 18 yr old girl with her friends, around the same age group. They are from the youth's service one. So she kept asking me why am i so quiet? Kept asking me to tok, to ans the lecturer's questions.. and she said that when i laugh my face blushes, that's so cute. Finally i asked her how old is she. Bcos from the way she spoke, i can tell she's young, but not too sure how young. Y does youngsters nowadays look like they are my age ah? ANyway the main point was when she asked me how old i am, and when i told her after a moment of hesitation whether i shd really tell her my age, she and her male partner was like stunned. Ok thank you. That's enuff liao. Im so happy wahahhaa. And then she stopped asking me to talk aldy. HAHA...so i tok to the guy on my left side, who is in his mid 30s. I think i connect betta with adults, aunties n uncles leh. I don't know if it's cos i've been hanging around them too much in dance circle that.........................i've been promoted to the levels of aunties n uncles. I find them easier to talk to instead of kids. ALamak, i don't even know wat kids are up to nowadays, it's as if we really have a gap in b/w. They are too lively. Once upon a long time ago, i used to b like them. Now......when im beside them, it's so plain obvious that...we are just different. argh....that's y my mom says i'm a 30 yr old trapped in a 25 year old body.
To continue the story, after course, i went to holland village to meet mr Albert. And since i was so tired, my mood was really shitty. Poor him. Then at 4pm we went back to church, to attend Wee Hwa's baptism. He also invited our ex sunady school teachers (they are husband n wife) so i had a nice chat with them. It's was like a catching up session since i haven't tok to them for sometime. I was so tired that during the tea reception before the baptism started, i actually fell asleep while leaning against the wall while sitting down. Im amazed at my sleeping powers leh. Once again i proved my own self right about how i can sleep anyway and anywhere. Lucky never drool.
After baptism and all the small talks with some pple, we went back to my home, had dinner. WE got down to trying to edit one song. I had to cut the song that im going to use for the argentine tango performance shorter. Bcos the original was at 3.28mins. It's too long, and we cannot choreograph so many steps to fill up the 3.28mins in such short time. So the only way is to cut it shorter to 2.30mins or 3mins. Usual performance is about 3 mins. Albert brought his music editing software. I listened to the song the previous day, to roughly get the pattern of the song, and possibly where i could cut n connect the song...
In the end, we made 3 versions. 1st one, was to cut one part near the ending of the song bcos it's repetitive, then connect to the end of the song. It went down to 3 mins. ANother version, was to cut out 2 part, and connect back....3rd was to cut out totally the last part of the song, and just end like that.. everything is good. Just that version 2and 3 only 2.17 mins like that. ALittle too short. But there's no other way of cutting the song already. I found it really nice to actually involve Mr Albert in this whole thing. I'm glad that we are both so artistically talented. And i realised that hey i do know something about music eh. At least i can count beats and tell him where to cut songs. That ability came from many years of dancing. Even tho ... i stopped dancing for almost 10 years...but wah...not bad i can still do it!!
ALbert with his music editing software..... i actually had one of our pictures stuck onto the rack. This is the VERY 1st time that i ever display photos of my bf and me in my room, EVER.
Then i fell asleep...... but when i woke up, he was preparing for the bible study for the next day, cos he was to lead the bible study.
That's all.
This week's schedule would be
MOnday: dance class. I've taken half day off in the noon to go practice dance. Bcos we didn't have enuff time to actually really practice and the performance is this coming sunday night. NO of leaves vs Practice Vs money. Of cos i choose money lar. ANd if i wanna get money and more referals from pple to perform at their functions, then i betta make sure i take the leave n practice.
