Went down to Hi club again today. Twice in a week. Furthermore, today there is no min and KY. Ivan might turned up late. But he did not came in the end due to his work. So only, Xin, Wilson and me.
Went down early by 1 hour to familrise the dance steps before we teach them. And to clear the space. Its not a full strenths. Only one out of the four main leads came down. Sadly, there was not a full strength.
The students learned quite fast the dance steps. Though some are still abit awarkard with their dance parnters. But its okie. They will get to know each other soon. We managed to do four scenes out of the seven scences as well. The progress is quite good.
One of the students is a real shock to us - Tian Tian. She is always eating the guy's toufu. Then she dun dare to do the dance cos she cant stand a guy's hands on her. And its only on the shoulder for goodness sake. Not on any other parts of her body. And her dance parnter is her beloved K.C somemore. In the end, no choice, she is not in the dance. Jasmine sub her place.
Luckily during the last wed when xin,wilson and I do the dance first, we video-down the dance. Cos K.C sae I cant dance den I canteach him meh. Haha. That's the prove to them.
The actors tidy up the place before they left. Whereas, we 3 stayed and dicuss some things for a while. Home sweet home.
The bus-stop is forever pitch-dark. Save electricity or what. Imagined the girls down there. With a terrorist on the run, its dangerous.
My dad is abit cranky now. He always asked me to be home before 11 now. When I have been home later than that timing by 2 hours before.

Went down to school for Hi Club today with Xin. For the musical.
First time went down to 'our space'. Really quite nice. The seats look so comfy. The area closed abit earlier during the holiday. So the person remindes us to go off. As we usually uses coins to replace the person in the discussions of songs' formation. The person thgt we were gambling. Cos there were survilence camera there.
And so we changed venue to Astro club house. Quite messy. Alot of stuffs. Even has food and milo there. Just that some of the stuffs may hav alr well past its expiry date. SO use at your own risk.
After some rest, we went back to work on the song - so close. After cutting down on the words for song singing, its now time for the dances.
As xin's legs are not v well so I sub her. I danced with the guy. Wow... The dance steps are tough. Its reali tiring. As we are doing Walzt. So the dance parnters have to stand quite close to each other. Close do not equalivent to touch. Though it does look like from some angle.
At the begining, my dance parnter and I oso quite clumsy, even though we have known each other for abt 3 years. After more practicing, we have the chemistry le. So its better when danced. A dance with no chemistry, no matter how perfect the steps are are of no use.
Meanwhile, Xin recorded down our dance to improve on it. And provied suggesions on and off.
After all the dancing, by the end of the day, one really can sweat. Dancing is truly a great form of slimming for the girls.
Realy excited to see how the students will fare in this musical. Abit gloating in shit.
Home sweet home. Cos by the end, we finished dinner at clementi Mac (its reloacting to blk 451 by this mth's end anyway), it 12 midnight. Xin helped to ask her dad to sent me home in her dad's car. THX THX.

Went out with Nora n Xin to Bugis.
We had lunch at Jp first. At the banquet. The worker form the stall that Xin and I ordered from seemed to be quite lazy de. He cooked the noodles for quite a long time. He can still even talked on the phone meanwhile. Furthermore,he only soaked one bowl of the noodles in cold waters. The noodles were not even rised dry. Given his poor service, we wondered how can the stall mangaed in peak lunch hour. But the noodles turned out to be quite okie though.
Headed down to bugis after our lunch. Nora keep asking to go down to clubs or pubs. At least for once in our lifetimes. Nora wanted to buy the skinny jeans. But the colours that she wanted do not carry her sizes. Nontheless, she brought a grey one. Later on she brought a grey jacket as well. She shoukd brought the red one cos it makes her seem brighter.
After shopp in Bugis for a while more. Nora wanted to watch movies. But then the threater at Bugis only carry 3 pathetic shows. So we headed down to Orchard.
Nora changed her clothes. She changed into the jeans and the jacket. She is sexy that day cos her jacket has no shirt underneath. While she changed, there was some commotion betwee the cleaner and the security officer (both females). Apparently, the cleaner threw away a bottle of water that belonged to the security officer. Just the normal kind. Less than a dollar that kind. As the cleaner came from china, she was being scolded in three languages - vugalar dialect,malay, (i cant rmb wat the next lang).
Atually, I pity the cleaner. Cos i personally felt that that was a big issue in the first place. The officer can jolly well buy back the bottle form any where less than $1.
Anyway, back to shopping. Since we had a late lunch, we went to find Nora's friend, Azar. He is stationed at the mattres section. So the staff there were all looking at us. As if we walked into the wrong section. We had no luck of him. So we had our dinner.
Nora wanted to eat her Fish and Co. So we had that. Anyway. Xin managed to ask Nora to spornspor part of our meal. $7.50 each. But she ended paying for our 'complete the meal which is soup of the day and a drink' plus the GST and all. She ended up paying more than $15 for us. Haha... Having a free meal is truly satifying. HAHah...
The portion is big though. It quite oily as well. Being fried and the fattening but nice sauces. It good to have Nora there. She knows what sauces there are. And she asked the staff to bring for us.
We were 2 of the sexes of the staff there as we has our dinner. We are so mean. I know. One of them, both Xin and I thgt it was a guy because of the way she walked and her hsirstyle. But when we saw her cheast, we know its a girl. The other, we had a harder time guessing the sex. As he had a small build and long hair so we thgt it a girl. And we keep tring to see the chest and the Adam's Apple. But after hearing the voive, we can safetly cmf its a man.
We waited for Azar to went home tgt as well. Home sweet home.

We discovered a new and shorter route to MRT... But we saw a woman changing her shirt at the stairs there... I was walking behind with my anonter friend so by the time I got there, I only see part of her black BRA cos she was pulling down her shirt...
No wonder, there are cases of rapes... Luckily, we are with the starbucks treater tt day... If not, based on his rapist character, I dun tink he can control...

Went New Year Shopping with my family today.
I als had so much during this period of time. Cos can test-eat the new year goodies. And I als pester my mum to buy this and that. (Those tt I like to eat) In case, she forget.
Acc my mum to buy her New Year clothes a few days ago. Its super crowded as well. My mum had trouble buying her clothes. Its either the colour she dun likes or its there is limted size. After browsing through so many shop, my mum finally chnaced upon one that she finally found smth she likes. But that shop dun have the clothes in chili red which my mum loves. The hot pink dun carry her size. So she try a diff colour. So ya the clour suits her well oso.
Had a nice day today. Nice time shopping without the guys. Shopping with guys is diff. Cos they are practically doing nothing when we the girls are happily shopping. So they tend to rush us. No rushing today.
2nd Feb 2008
We went to Sheng Shiog buy the food needed for the liao yu sheng and and some sweets as well. The steamboat items we buying tml.
My dad suggested eating over there. But when we got there, most of the stalls are not yet opened. Its noon alr. After walking one whole round, I dun noe what to eat. My bro just went back to the table without buying any food lor. He is the big-eater some more. Als saying he is hungry. Looking ard, the ppl likes to have the breakfast set - toast and 2 eggs and coffee. The qeeue for the 2 noodles stalls are so long. By the time I would have fainted from no food to eat. Left with no choice, I buy some chee chong fun, ect. Wasn't very nice. The ppl was abit slow in their service as well. Suddely felt that my house offers great foods and services.
Its super crowded cos left only 3 days to chu xi. End up we bring back a cart full of goodies. Imagine hw much we have brought. And that is excluding the steamboat items. But it okie. Cos we have the guys with us to carry the items. Haha. My bro is big so he has to carry more thing now. Heex. Can bully my bro now. He cant sha jiao now. My parents dun bother abt him if he tries now. Ya, he likes to bicker with my sis and I. And he very happy cos he has grown taller than us. Finally can be the 'eldest bro' that he has als wanted to be.
Home sweet home.
3rd Feb 2008
Went to get the items needed for the steamboat. On the way, we passed by a roadside selling the can opener. The salespersons were saying that the can after opening the can, the can will not have cutting edge. The lid can still even be closed if the can is not finished in one eating. There is another anutie, she seemed to be condamning the salespersons. My mum joined in ltr on. My mum was looking for so long and I thgt that she wanted to buy the thing. Never did I imagine her to do smth like this.
Anyway to save us the trouble of lugging the heavy bags of gorgries ltr on, we bring along our own push cart.
Buy... Buy... Shop... Shop... Home sweet home...

Clear my own stuffs today... Table is too messy...
5th Feb 2008
One day before the Chu Xi. And I still have to go back to school for AFA revision lect. There is not much ppl on the street also. And the bus was quite empty as well. New Year mood alr and still have to go back for school. If it wasn't for exam purposes, I wouldn't want to go back.
Went to have lunch with ZY, miss ma. Saw some pri sch kids. And I rmb abt my own times. How I miss those days. Without any troubles. No worries. So carefress. Unlike us. Having to take care of back-stabbers. Having to diff btw real and fake.
5 and 6th Feb 2008
After breaksfast, spent the day spring-cleaning the whole house. Been on my feet since then till before steamboat. Wiped those places span and spick. Wiped the window panes, walls, window grilles. Of course I cant do all this on my own. If I do it on my own, I dunnoe when I would ever finished. Of course, we 3 siblings do it tgt. We cleared room by room tgt. Of course, my bro do all the window panes. He is wiping them so happily in his own room, that weask he to do for the whole house as well. The rest I slipt it btw me and my sis. After all this, we still have to sweept the whole house.
And then, my sis and I have to help my mum out with the steambost thing.
Happy eating for 2 whole hours. My bro even helped to clear the dishes after he finished eating. First time he helping out.
7th Feb 2008 & 8th Feb 2008
Went out visting my relatives... All were saying ya I'm gg out to work soon le... That just made me afraid. And ya... All were saying have to open eyes big cos its time to find a bf... My mother's side even commented that if not they will have to help me find.
Anyway, I managed to fished out some secrets abt some marriage also. Like how they got to know each other. Heex... Nice time spent...
Its strange gg to my father's side cos there are no oldes ones there anymore. Its weird. The feeling is...
You turned me into a doll.
Realised that I have not blog abt the opening ceronomy.
Erm... Its has been so long ago le, so I dun noe where should I start also. I shall let the pictures tell the stories then. But its the best opening ceronomy so far.
So now lets just go into the closing ceronnomy.
The closing ceronomy was good also. But then this time round, I dun have the privilegde to sit back and enjoy the whole performance. I was like keep running back and froth. First is for my Monday Instructors Perfroemance, My class 2A Performance and lastly the Alumini and Graudating Students Performance. This would have been the perfect closing ceronomy saved for that the alumin ppl were not present that day. But I have met up with my Acc senior - Cellissa. Dorren as well.
MOnday Instructors Perfromance
Sad to said, we cant bring high the audience. Cos the PA system is not working well. This cant be blamed cos the PA ppl has tried out the things b4 the ceronomy starts.
But I still love the performance nonetheless. We had so much fun during our rehersals as well. All of us were quite high that day as well. All of us were having fun as well. I like the formation -kallang bow, all of our signs are quite standarized as well.
Class 2A Performance
Luckily the formation was still quite okie. The students has not disappoint me. Even though there is one student who backed out of the formation very last minute. Cos he never practice so he dun want to be in. Nonetheless, all those angry moments that I have with them are now all gone. All of them made the effort to memorise the whole song and the formation. Abit complicated also.
Even though the formation was not perfect cos the students forget some of their parts. But at least it was not obvious. Cos the 2 girls by the side has collaborate with each other - sign tgt, one forget the other also dun sign. At least there is some standarization.
I'm the only reflector as well. Cos my teaching partner, Daniel, had to do his PA stuff. So I'm alone. Luckily its okie for me.
After a long time with them, I have actually come to like them even though there were angoising moments.
This is my first and last time as an instructor. Being an old bird and a firt-timer, youy parnter tend to look up to you. And the students as well. Cos you are expcted to noe so much. And with my wen shun teaching parnetr - Daniel, I had to be the firece one in the class. Its tiring actually. What more, with a class of instructors as well, its actually more challenging to control them.
But I have gained some insight from them as well.
There are some others classes performance as well. Not just my class. For more info, pls go to you-tube. Ya, there is a video also. I dim get to see it cos we had to get ready for our highlight of the day. And I was eating outside with Min alr.
Alumin and Graduatating Students Performance
I enjoy this part of the performance the most today. The audience were great. They clapped their hands tgt with us. When I thgt that they might be too leng chang.
And it is the only time where YAHLI and WHY LAI plus the alumini ppl to meet up as well. We had so much fun at all the rehersals as well. But I gussed after that day, it would be hard to meet up again. Other than at birthday celebrations. Cos everyone would be so busy with their lifes. And I wonder would we be laughing at our own performances later on.
We had a last minute bonus for the auidence as well. Anyone of us. We had Steph, Tze Hui n Wan Qin in also. But I gussed this song is not very standarise. Haha... Not all of us can rmb the whole song. Just that I think Ivan is very attention-seeking n his gay parnter, wilson as well.
Had a short debrief. Not much bad things. The main comm ppl had their own meeting outside. So the rest of us had to clear up the mess and they had fun taking pic with the deco.
Wanted to change before wenting home. Dun wan to go home in retro dress. Ppl would laugh at us I guessed. But the toilets are errie and digusting. So one change one guard the door.
Home sweet home. Saw Eugene along the way. Xin and I had ppl to carry our bag of clothes for us. Heex. Thx. Yong Xin. Although you did not helped willingly. Crap with him and his quite friend by the name of Wt.

You are The Empress
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Had two practice with my class before the actual performance.
I dun noe what to do with them. They noe their signs and everything and ya their formation. Finally. Had a hard time telling their formation. Cos we did not have a full strength during the last lesson. So now those not had just to make do with whatever resources we had.
Actually I feel quite pity for those who had to come for theses 2 rehersals cos some ppl did not come. And they end up having Hi Club all the way from monday to thursday. And it is not like there is no school for them anymore. So ya those who had come blamed on those two who did not come.
After much pratcice, they finally get the whole thing rite. And some of the students seem quite wishy-washy abt some of the things I wanted them to do. Its not very hard. And surprisingly, its the guys who dun dare to do the things. Their girls parnter are very supportive. Ya, and one students even resquested that I do the thing - hugging, with my teaching parnter, Daniel. Naturally, I do it. And that seal up his mouth. Haha... This is nothing. Compared to what I have seen and do and have to do. Wahaha...
Home sweet home. Thankfully, I had 2 students - Rui Hao and Yong Xin, who had to cross the nei he qiao with me. If not I would be quite scare I think crossing alone. Cos its quite dark alr by the end we end the whole practices.
I know their secrets as well. Heex... One likes to flirt. Still can have diff levels as in playing games like tt. The other dun have one b4. But feels like having to pactice. I dunnoe what is there to practice. For hugging? Kissing? Touching? You gussed who is who ba. Have fun guessing.
