This is my 2nd time at the ballroom, the other time was June's competition. The 1st time i went there, i was totally impressed by the grandeur of the place. As you can see from the photo, the whole place is made up of a central 'ballroom' where the dancers would b dancing and it's huge.. And surrounding the floor are all the dinner tables.

I didn't upload any photos last time round bcos you had to pay an extra 30 dollars just to take photos or videos at the place. This time was free, unfortunately i didn't my camera. So i could only use my hp. This time, the organiser oso opened the floor for social dancing for the diners. So i had the chance to step onto the dance floor and wow i can't even describe that feeling. So exciting, having the whole floor and everyone juz partying and having fun on the huge dance floor. While dancing ballroom, and bcos for ballroom, u travel around the dancefloor, we actually bumped into my other dance friends (uncles + aunties) on the dance floor, was such a surprise.

And i begin to feel like i'm really more n more into this dance circle. So much so that i begin to start knowing pple who aren't Derrick's students. I got to know them while dancing outside, at Mt Faber Safra, Raffles Town Club and other events...quite fun actually haha..

The competition invited this chinese couple from China, who won the championship for 10 dances in Europe. That means they danced 5 ballroom dances, 5 latin dances and won all the ang mohs and emerged as champions!! To emerge as latin or ballroom champion is already amazing, to emerge as champion for 10 dances juz imagine. But anyway, i say so much, i doubt you guys really understand the meaning of it all. They performed and was really enlightening...

The thing ended really late like at 12am, i had to take a cab home.

Monday, i had dance classes. Tues, dance practice at Safra. Wed, i took my one and ONLY pathetic leave left to bring my dad to SGH for appointment. Apparently, the doctor at the urology centre said my dad has no problems and he need not return to see the doc anymore. To think that the stupid polyclinic doctor made such a fuzz over nothing, and his cold and irritating attitude towards everything, it's distasteful. For my dad's health and to make sure he's really ok, i agreed to bring him to see the specialist, and altogether i think cost me around 200 bucks.

Albert accompanied me. HE literally stand in as my dad's 'son' for that day. Holding my dad, pushing his wheelchair, everything. And gez wat? My dad was pretty happy lar.. Not like he's not happy with albert in the 1st place.. I meant he was happy about Albert going with us. OF cos lar, Albert practically tended to him like his personal assistant. When we went into the doctor's room, doctor asked if we are the kids of his patient. I said i'm the daughter. He looked at Albert in all confusion, his face totally reflecting the question of who is this guy then? I said he's my bf. He replied,' very good!!' Proceeded on to check on my dad etc then before we left, the doctor commented that we should get married soon, then can become one family. My dad was laffing so happily wor.

After that, brought my dad home. Albert and i went for cycling. Cycled all the way to West Coast to have dinner. It's abit troublesome tho. Bcos from Clementi to West Coast, we had to get across a flyover across the AYE, it's abit dangerous, so in the end we opted to take the bridge instead and carried our bikes over. Actually he was the one who carried lar...hahaha...so tiring...i mean for him lar...hahaha..i onli used eye power mah..

Feel like my leg muscles really aching. Not because of the cycling lar..but i think added pressure on my legs too. It was cos of dancing. Ballroom is so tiring lor i tell u. But it's ok, as long as my beautiful legs is toned beautifully, i'm more than happy.

Thursday, i went to Marsiling. Fuchun CC. The class has started, 1st lesson. Last thurs' was postponed to today, so last thursday i was at Mt faber safra practicing. This time the class is huge, like 20 students. And of cos as usual many gals and only 4 men including my instructor. He would try to get more guy students to come and help. I'm dancing as a man now again. Not bad. Can practice my leading hee.. The class is only one hour, so we could stay till 10pm to practice latin. So tues will focus on Ballroom, Thursday focus on Latin. It's seriously been sometime that i practiced Salsa, altho every week i'll at least get to dance Salsa twice at Safra... So..now that the class is Salsa, i'm really happy to go back to Salsa. It's like it's where i started..great to be back.

My dad has been complaining that i have not been at home. And tonite, i'll be going to AMK hub to walk around with ALbert. He's been complaining that i don't go to AMK hub one.... watching Bourne.

This place is refusing to give mi my salary. They actually want to hold back my salary for a month. I seriously think that i'm in deep shit. Bcos of the impeding no of driving lessons i've booked, i'll need alot of money plus the test itself. And the clothes i need to buy, the food i need to eat, the bus/train/cabs that i need to take. I can't last a month without the month's pay. It's freaking screwed.

I can only pray that God please provide. Either which, pls get them to release the salary to me?

I've emailed, shoot back at whoever and whatever that i can aldy..........................

Somehow the office of finance actually thinks i'm a foreigner. ya lar i'm a foreginer but i'm a PR can.
