well it has been a very strange week.
which was hectic and tiring and not exactly enjoyable until almost the end.
there was strife, there was dissatisfaction, there was mumbling and grumbling and kicking in the head but we (that would be me angela dionne letitia and tamil) finally made it through the SBDC auditions together with brenda's cocolatte troop.
(that would be singapore's best dance crew, not small business development corporation.)
although im not particularly thrilled about another week of late nights and nodding off at work but i AM thrilled that we finally managed to break through and actually make it IN for a hip hop competition!
and beat groups like chun's for the spot in the semis.
though i still dont really like the choreo after seeing the video - we did an MIB thing with shades and jackets and hair totally bunned up and DARK BROWN FACE PAINT! DARK BROWN! plus the choreo was sort of...more controlled and contained and not really fun but the judges liked it so i suppose that's all that matters.

(better pictures and videos when i have them.)
the one really fun thing about the competition this time was that almost the entire xen clan was down there either participating or supporting (or er because they had gone to the ntu open house and had nothing to do after) so we didnt really have to worry about audience response because there would always be a guaranteed bunch screaming their heads off.
i would know, because i happened to be in front of rachel and angela when cocolatte were on stage.
anyway the semis are NEXT SUNDAY (jurong point at 5, hint hint) which gives us only another week to present a new choreo.
and after that there will only be 2 weeks before the bachata competition.
i need a flower so i can chant should i join should i not join whilst i pluck its petals off.
but oh well one thing at a time.
anyway the strangeness of the week didnt end on saturday because on SUNDAY i took a spontaneous trip to malaysia with sheila sean and family for 2 days and 1 night.
it was really SPONTANEOUS because i only heard about it when i went to church and left straight with them after that.
i was able to do that because of my wondrous bag which was like a magician's hat because unexpected things kept popping out of it.
first i realized (quite shockingly) that my passport was still sitting in there from the hong kong trip (one month ago) because i'd forgotten to take it out.
so ive been carrying it around with me everywhere for a month.
subsequently other miraculous things were uncovered within its mysterious depths, like clothes (i was going to xen and had put some in) deodorant (no idea how it got there) moisturizer (from saturday, in preparation for the face paint) and body spray (my fabulous bubblegum smelling one).
i really need to turn out my bag one day.
we didnt rly do a lot in malaysia because there was no plan at all so it was a lot of circling around looking for hotels and whatnot, but it was still quite fun on the whole.
well that's all frm my strange week, more after the semis on sunday.
(did i mention its at jurong point, starting at 5?)
(im sure i didnt.)
(so here it is again.)
(JURONG POINT, SUNDAY, 5PM.)
