i hate this part is playing on mtv now, which reminds me of all i haven't blogged about. that song was one of the choreos we learnt from dance camp. and i swear it's ALL weiting's fault that i am now scrutinising the video for the part where apparently nicole scherzinger starts jumping up and down in her tiny white tank in the rain and she's not wearing a bra. hahahaha.
but i ADORE that song. so i really enjoyed the choreo too (the minor fact that i could follow about 70% of it must have helped, too).
camp really was very good. we learnt everything from house to reggae (oh loves! haha i really do think that is my fave style-- although i enjoyed all the classes i think i found calvin's most accessible, and i think the whole spread of styles in that class was helpful also. haha omg striptease. and "shining shining!" and of course sway :D i liked that! and tracy was right chun was really very good but i also liked rebecca's musicality a lot she was standing in front of me so since as usual i was scrambling to copy i watched her a lot haha) to la style (ahmad's. omg. CANNOT CATCH. but it was SUCH an inventive choreo! six-seven-eight-triple-nine-eight-two-one-two haha i have that song as my ringtone now so every time someone calls i delay picking up and i'll listen to that song or suddenly run through snatches of the choreo inside my head). i can't even really select a favourite class-- we had kate willis (which i really enjoyed-- the steps weren't easy, but there was that ever elusive flow), pat's swagga and i hate this part (DRAMA man, but i really liked the song!); alex ow's closer (that one, we ALL knew the lyrics too. but i found myself waggling my fingers and meshing part of the suad choreo into it by accident whoops. the rhythm was so very cool though-- i think the way we all got the rhythm of the floorwork immediately without his having to explicate was beyond cool) and ahmad's; then peter's jazz and calvin's.
without a doubt jazz was the most difficult and challenging for ALL of us-- the warm up alone was enough to reduce us to shivering wrecks literally haha i've never felt my muscles atrophy so much. not even my 38.4deg-inducing track training was anywhere near that level of physical exertion. but i liked that class too-- i've always thought the level of emotion that jazz dancers exhibit is... admirable. and it's something i've wished hip hop could have, but i guess the good thing about contemporary hip hop is that even though it doesn't necessarily have quite the specturm of emotion that jazz carries it is infused with some measure of emotion, and that's all for the good :):)
apart from classes we also had this one mass dance session by lina-- and she mixed one of my alltime favouritest song ever! haha mims' like this-- ever since karen did the choreo (how many years has it been omg. haha. i still rmemeber bits of it!!) i've liked that song. pity now i'm missing two counts somewhere i can't rmb the choreo haiz i was running it through my head on all my numerous subway rides in taiwan.
haiz i had a brainfart during the mini-comp and screwed up my moving mountain steps :(:( i KNEW i should have practised more the night before, but it was like 3am already and i have to say the temasek hall dance studio is pretty damn freaky late at night when no one else is around. i completely freaked out after dropping the key and making my way back to my room k because as i was passing this whole row of bushes-- at the darkest part of my journey back-- there was this rustling, and i just broke into a run.
now that i think of it it was probably just some hall-stayer doing stuff for rag or smth, but i really freaked. hhaha. they must have been amused to see my sprintin for my life hoho.
but i swear th was NOT this dark during law camp.
and anyway i ended up accidentally waking krystal and hazel respectively when i went to get my stuff to shower and to go back to sleep. that said, krystal and collen and hazel really were the coolest room mates to have haha they didnt mind it when i was extremely exceedingly messy and they were v v v friendly :):) almost wished the camp was longer hoho. and my group ppl weren't bad either although i definitely felt quite bloody inadequate-- as far and away the least pro senior amongst all the groups haha i've never felt quite so lacking (ok, i tell a lie, it's just that this time i tuo1 ren2 xia4 shui3). luckily i had karen and chun to save me!! chun helped tremendously-- in fact, she took over-- for the whole sentosa thing and the choreo station, which was great because i was feeling extremely zonked out and i probably wouldn't have been able to come up with a single thing anyway. and karen totally saved our asses on that last night as we rush-choreoed for the next morn's minicomp and she kept our morale up even as we watched all the other teams and how neat and clean they were. really really our mix master :)
right. i have breakfast with the LLBs (let me refresh your memory on that-- luscious law babes! haha)) in 7 hours and i CANNOT be late or i owe them breakfast for a month. haha. then i must visit the gouty one HAHAHA see la feast in japan somemore. THEN airport!
oh god damn i forgot to return my library books due 2.5 hours ago. and on a side note my sis has a friend called jesus and another called christopher. when they're together they're known collectively as jesus christ. HAHA. and once when someone said "oh my god" jesus said "yes?"
heehee. alright, one post down, there's still bugis sentosa taiwan and dance dance dance to write about!
i know this is the part where the end starts
