Labour Day weekend part 1

dance. i taught te medicine principals and chorus some simple dance steps that maybe added on to or improvised later on but as of now..they're all good, can catch steps very fast even for those without dance experience. and they look so synchronised and for the first time i can make use of anatomical names or actions that people can understand, like dorsiflex (extend feet) and plantar flex( point feet) and abduction(open hips) and adduction(close hips) and anatomical snuffboxes and work ur gluteus, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius and vastus lateralis and more....so fun people who actually understand medical lingo. anyway they all did some turns, pas de bourree on the points, demi-pointes, dessous, en avant, en arriere, en dehors..ok i'm exaggerating not so much.....still have long way to go man but no choice, got to do something bout it...

Fireball. Man the event was great, i never loved contemporary dance so much. some dance there was some dance on newspaper and tv sets, maybe trying to indicate something bout being drowned in a sea of information at least that's how i interpreted it. and the dances revolved around themes like feminism, abuse, one's image in modern society, communication, life, love etc..it's bloody 3 hrs long but so conceptually mature! the dancers were all technical experts and exude that quality that lacks in most amatuer dancers like myself , how does one immerse oneself into the context of a situation that one has to present to the audience yet one has not ever experienced it before? i try so hard to imagine myself doing the dances tehy do but nah......can't. but had to stand most of the time, some rooms can sit though lucky thing i did. that girl doing the futuristic installation dance thingy was like taking a long time strutting her stuff in the ex-prime minister's office. venue was arts house @ old parliament lane. and i got to sit in the chamber where ministers always pass their bills, too bad couldn't sit on where Mr. LEE used to always sit, make myself feel intelligent for a moment, if it's worth it. ok it is lah since how often do u get to sit in the pariamentary chamber!

lepak. then went to pasir ris to lepak....caught up with secondary school frens and thinking of ways to celebrate our ten years anniversary, i was suggesting doing a play and producing it somewhere where people can see us, us as amateur actors and them as not-getting-their-moneys' worth audience. i can imagine the bad voice projection, chaotic scene changes and lightings in asynchrony...man that would be a disaster. anyway most of us are so natural at acting it's like 2nd nature maybe even first. i was just telling them we are so comfortable with one another why not right? but i realise that if it was so hard for us to decide what to do during on a public holiday andend up wasting it anyway - not from bumming with nothing to do but for indecisiveness, i cannot imagine theater! so we just sat there at one small corner of the beach and was deprived of the night breeze by the vastness of downtown east and sat there sweating away. so we listened to music, talked lotsa crap,make fun of amira and beid all night, killed jellyfishes (by accident ok!), packed so slowly, ate BK breakfast high on lack of sleep and pursued home -yes! pursued cause it seemed never ending...and hpoefully meet later to lepak some more. what the hell!!
