What would we want to be prefects for? It'd take all the fun out of life. (Friday, June 19, 2009)
Or councillors, in Nanyang's case. No, I'm sure councillors have loads of fun together.
Hello this is going to be another of those lame posts that are filled with complaining and lamenting, because I’m a sad negative moron. But it isn’t directed at anyone or anything, I’m just whining because I enjoy it.
But firstly. Happy 14th, Yuxin & Chermaine.
A change of blogskin, although the old wood background has been/can be fixed. And yes, the tagboard is meant to be the disgustingly bright & blinding mess it currently is. It's so bimbotic, I love it to bits. So ballet yesterday was demoralising. Meet my new friend, the fantastic Merit for G8RAD ballet exam! And it’s fabulously average Merit at that. In my dance studio, being average just means you’re one of the worst. YAY!
Only Germaine and I went for ballet class yesterday. With all due respect to her, I think I must have looked like a disaster next to her because it doesn’t really help if you’re pitting yourself against the dance-mate who has the strongest technique, best level of flexibility, strongest ankles, highest arches, highest level of pain endurance (she doesn’t wear toe pads, omg) and is probably smarter than everyone since she’s from the almighty RGS. (plus she looks insanely skinny) It sounds a bit sarcastic but I assure you that it is not, in case any ballet buddies chances upon my blog, which would probably never happen in our lifetimes. Sure, I’m envious but I can live with it.
Some people think that my square-ness/blocky-ness at modern dance is due to my inability to adapt from ballet to contemporary. No, don’t scoff, my dear seniors and batchmates. I know what you all think. I am not a ballet snob because I do not think contemporary or hip hop or other styles of dance is inferior to ballet. I think contemporary is dreamily powerful (OXYMORON ALERT!) and very nice to watch, especially lyrical. And hip hop is very cool if everyone is synchronised.
Anyway, I remember asking Yuxin if my spiral-pirouette (from Apologise) was okay (because Rosanne earlier upgraded me to a cube) and she shrugged and said, “It is okay lah it’s your style mah still in the ballet world.”
GAPE :O okay no. This has nothing to do with YX (please do not get offended) and I’m just saying that’s the impression I give people. Or at least a substantial amount of peeps. But it is untrue because my ballet technique is so bad, it probably doesn’t even look like ballet. Therefore it should only affect me minimally in other styles of dance, not turn me into a block/square/cube. I’m just a natural square/cube that doesn’t dance that well. Hey I bet Germaine has done a self-intro, at the very least.
In case anyone awfully cheery reads this: Okay I will try to improve at dance. I will work my very hardest. I will set my goals and everything. And I will look back on this post and say, “Hah, I’m the most supercalifragilisticexpialidocious dancer now! Beat that!” Ok, hahahaha, NO. That is not my goal. I have better, more suitable and short term goals. Like a really fundamental thing that I, along with few others, have not accomplished.
30 minutes of pointe + stupid weak feet = 3 stupid blisters. Excuse me, I wear toe pads. Silicon ones, at that.
It’s not an emo post. You’d never find an ‘emo’ post around here because I manage to turn everything sad into smart-ass, sarcastic statements. Enjoy your time trying to find occasional hints of sadness, but you will never find full-fledged emo. But there’s a lot of angry and cynical comments here, help yourself to them. (please do not plagiarize though)
