6th SGDF SINGAPORE OPEN DANCESPORT CHAMPIONSHIPS
featuring
2005 IDSF ASIAN PACIFIC DANCESPORT CHAMPIONSHIPS
Crazily had to wake up like early in the morning at 7am to start preparing for our competition. Caryn had to come all the way to my place from woodlands to get our things done up.
Its definitely alot of things to prepare.
Had get the bronzer evenly applied onto our bare skins.
Put on of dance costumes
Had our 5 inch thick of make-up applied onto our face.
Had our 6 layers of hair gel and hair spray stuck to our hair as usual.
Had to help our friends to do our either their make-up or hair styling.
hmmmmm......
Down to the competition floor.... me and Theo... Hmmm...
I would say that we did our best. After all we are still beginners. The fact is that its another experience gained. And we would do well or even try to do better the next time.
We sort of screwed up our cha-cha-cha routine. But we were still calm and continued as normal even though the dance would then look weird *maybe*.
And for our rumba.... I would say that we did well to our expectation, I suppose... (Am I right Theo). We actually amazingly improvise our rumba routine by sort of changing our steps.
I would say that I am sort of both satisfied and also not quite satisfied with the overall results.
We both came out as 6th position in most of dance. But we are satisfied that we actually enjoyed the dance. It was totally fun. And finally, we are able to get into the finals.
Was happy for those who got the first 3 positions. And I would have to salute to Vanessa. For all 5 dances, she and Brennan got champion. But its the fact that she is good.
But anyway, would have to plan up for the next dance competition if we still intend to compete.
And we would really need to practice hard.
Overall we all had a great time and for a first time, I felt totally calm for the competition. But the irritating part is that... most of my outside friends would either say I look like as though I just finish singing the 7th month getai, they would keep asking if I won any trophy... Sian to the max..
Will upload the pictures of the competition once I get the pictures from my dance partner.
Ciao!!!

By now, Im dead tired and I need my beauty sleep.... Had been slogging at work non-stop.
Worked at actor's bar till like 5am in the morning. Had no choice to but to stay on till closing as one my colleague left without a word. Why!! Cos she is pissed.... then leaving all the rest of the work for us to do. Did loads of washing till my back was aching like hell. BACKACHE!!!!
Had to wake early later at 9am to prepare to go for a road show. Why would I not want to go when I can earn $100 easily without doing much work... I just had to stand there, and if there happen to have people who is interested, then I would start talking and promoting. So... meaning, most of the time, I am just standing there like a stone, waiting for time to pass asap.
Again... went down to lucky plaza... this time... finally I get to collect my costume. Not finally.... is that I have to collect it by then... TML IS MY COMPETITION. WooHoo....
Costume is gorgeous... but then its stands a bad sign for me as well, I will definitely get loads of bad mouthing by other people behind my back... Damn it... Heck!!! Its my costume.. I paid for it. So who cares... hmmm.... Think twice....
Oh well...
Time now - 1138pm............
I NEED TO SLEEP!!!!!!
niTEs!!!

I am sick of all her unreasonable arguements and hittings. Out of no reason, she will just shoot us... us as in each and everyone of us at home. Then... the worse victim will be me!
Scolded my dad bout some NTUC thingy form... whatever!!
Scolded my brother for not looking for a job.... having odd hours of sleep... like 3 -4 am... -_-'''
Scolded me... worse...scolded for nothing and the most... saying that I studied my homework at the last minute... But damn it!! When Im studying so damn bloody hard... what would she say... NOTHING!!! SERIOUSLY NOTHING!!!Just because she did not see it with her own eyes. Scolded me for having to study at odd hours... But yeah... that's the way I study in order to get all those bloody notes and theories in my bloody head! Like that also get scolded... (And its when I am studying, what logic!)
Scolded me because the house fixed phone line increase in price. When I am like not at home most of the time... Im like working, studying and dancing 24/7! My brother is at home all the time.. Why doesnt she scold him about that. DAMN!!! Even if I use the phone, it would not even be the home line. It would always be my hp as its free incoming call, damn it! Scolded me saying that I am always going out. HUH??!!
Working, Studying & Dancing schedule:
Monday: 9 - 5pm (Working at Carl's Jr) , 7 - 830pm (Giving tutition)
Tuesday: 9 - 4pm (Having classes) , 7 - 10pm (Dance practice), in between break cant possibly ask me to go home...
Wednesday: 9 - 5pm (Working at Carl's Jr)
Thursday: 9 - 5pm (Working at Carl's Jr) , 7 - 10pm (Dance practice)
Friday: 9 - 5pm (Having classes) , 7pm - 3am (Working at Actor's Bar)
Saturday: 1 - 230pm (Giving tuition) , 7pm - 3am (Working at Actor's Bar)
Damn it!! Just look at my bloody schedule, where will be able to find time to go out. And she says I go out all the time. I am like only free on Sunday.. and yeah thats the only day which I am free.
I just dont get it.. Why does she not observe the situation properly first or understand what is actually happening first before blasting at people. I seriously hate this sort of people. And when this sort of blasting happens, I am the one who will get the most for NO REASON!!!! How ridiculous!
From the starting of this semester, I did not even take a single cent from her... NOT A CENT! I have been feeding myself, paying for my own textbooks with my own money.
She was nice enough to give me 50 bucks when I was not working for 2 weeks because I had to study for my common test...
BUT NOW, out of her craziness, she ask back for 50 bucks... NO NO.... She just reach out for my wallet herself and took the remaining worth of money which worth 45 bucks.
She took it all.... ALL... not a single cent left.
I just simply dun understand. When in the first place she did not want me... then why the hell continue to give birth to me and not abort me. She should seriously abort me in the very first place. Since she finds me a pest from the start... as according to what she say.

7 chapters of unreadable notes... Good gracious....
I am in hell shit!!!

Hai.... what the heck am I doing.... BLOGGING... lol....
Salsaera Paradiz signing off lovingly 7/21/2005 04:28:00 PM
Spiff and I were supposed to be able to try out our newly made customes but no..... its not even ready yet... not a single stitch was done yet. Oh well....
At least Daryl and Theo managed to try out their costumes and have them re-altered to perfection.
Me and Spiff would have to try ours next tuesday and then have our alterations done. Then we would finally get to collect them like next friday maybe.... but SUNDAY would be our competition day already.
Hmmm.... the tailor aunty really need to start with our costumes especially mine... for mine would need loads of time to stick up those crystals. Lol...
Daryl was only able to try his costume at 330pm... so since we had loads of time, we headed to coffee bean and chill out. Loads of gossips again... lol... Then Daryl was mentioning about having to take up private lessons with Jin Jin and that me and Theo would not be able to take part in the tertiary close events again for the next competiton.
Theo actually would not mind taking up private lessons with me from Jin Jin. Oh gosh... you know how much those words from Theo meant to me. He was interested to take part in Grade E or maybe D catergory latin dance competition. At first, I was still wondering if Theo would not be interested in taking up private lessons, probably that would be the end of my latin dance...
I am so happy once he said, "If you want to take up private lessons from Jin Jin, I dun mind. I will go with you. I dun wan to remain stagnant in just the tertiary close latin dance routine. It doesn't matter if we do not win, its the experience we gain!" Oh man..... I am seriously so happy... WHhahaha...
ok sorry Theo... I know you will think that Im nuts... lol....

| You Are Chocolate Ice Cream |
 Your personality is super strong and unique. Many people crave you constantly - while you turn a few off. You are most compatible with coffee ice cream. |
Hahaha.... that explains.... I love chocolate ice-cream to the max... so yeah... I am a person of chocolate favour.. lol

Your Birthdate: November 21 |
Being born on the 21st day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life. The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental. There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, "couldn't care less" attitude. You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression. Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing. You are energetic and always a good conversationalist. You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters. Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about. You are affectionate and loving, but very sensitive. You are subject to rapid ups and downs. |

After all he is not bad and quite nice. Always willing to teach and guide us when our dance-steps are incorrect.
All I hope is that he recognises my effort in dance. All the practices I try to make every Tuesday and Thursday. All the heart and soul I put into my dance.
hmmm......

Jealousy...
So much things just happens at one go. People around me and about whats actually going on. Things which I am supposed to feel happy for them.. But no.... I dun feel so. I dun know why.
Something which I waited for so long. Something which I treasure alot when I was very young till now. But now its gone. Maybe it wasnt mine all along.
I just wish I am able to turn back time. Back to when it all started. Back to when we were all young. Back to the sweet moments which I treasured them so much.
Probably, everything was just a one-sided thing. I bet I have thought too much, after all its not mine.
I kept looking at the things which I kept intact till now. Those which are filled with sweet memories which made me smiled.
But now, I think I should depart with them. After all, its of no use.

Your power is: Clairvoyance
Explanation: Your power is that you can
look into the future and see what is coming.
How far and long you can look is all depending
on your skill level. This can, as all powers,
be used in both evil and good. Even if it may
seem like a boring ability it is a huge
responsibility for the carrier, becase they are
constantly tempted with doing the wrongs deeds
(e.g. cheat on a test). It takes high morals to
not be brought down with it.
Therefor you fit with this power quite well.
You take responsibility and do what is the
right thing to do. This does not make you a
saint, since you're only human after all. But
it makes a trustworthy person and you are loyal
to camrades and/or team mates. In school you
were probably a good student. If you were
social varies from person to person, but most
clairvoyant people tend to prefer their own
company or that of close friends and family.
That is because you are wise and knows how to
treasure the reliable in your life, since you
know popularity can be a false element. You are
also not that big on taking risks and prefer
what is already explored. That is because you
don't like suprises, they can turn out bad and
then you won't be in control.
Negative aspects: Since you're always
doing the right thing and being trustworthy all
the time you can become frustrated. Also, all
that you carry on your shoulders may stress you
out. You need to relax to be in good mental
shape.
What Power is Compatible With You?

Went for school dance training as usual.. and that's the kind of dance training Im looking forward to each time. Started dancing like 5 plus pm all the way till 930pm.. Gosh!!
My feet is killing me now... (yeah yeah... tell me bout it!!) At least its real latin cha-cha, rumba and jive...
Unlike the formation dance I had to do for the YCF... (Shhhhh!!!) (So called samba dance-_-) But to think about it, its not that bad... except for that fugly costume and make-up we had to put on... Eeek!!!
Alright... but Daryl had to come to me all of a sudden telling me that Melvin (my instructor) found out that we make dance costumes without consulting him. As according to what Daryl told me.. The guys will still not get so much from him. But its the ladies.. y?? Cos its the ladies costumes and I did'nt consult him whether if the design was alright.
So according to what the tailor aunty told Daryl was that, Melvin was damn PISSED!!!
Yeah as in literally pissed... just because we did'nt inform him.
But Melvin have yet to find out that its me... yeah me.. the only lady who made dance costume and not telling him...
Hmmm... gosh.. this is scary...
But I mean its my money... its my kind of design... Why would he have to bother so much about us having to make our costume. Just because he is my instructor... Hmmmm....
Even if I told him earlier, I bet he would discourage us to make the costume... *Maybe**Shrugs*
Oh hell.... whatever!!! Just see as it goes.
Salsaera Paradiz signing off lovingly 7/12/2005 11:16:00 PM
Never, never again would I join such activities. DREADFUL!!!
Now that the performance is over, I have more time... no more dance trainings on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings, and no more going all the way to Fu Hua Secondary (Lakeside) and Senja!!! So damn far!!!
Hmmm..... now its time to prepare for my common tests... HRM and EC.
Kinda boring to stay at home and not able to work. *hmmm.... see how workaholic I am*
Well, its getting late. Ought to go to bed now. Update again then.

Daryl, CL, Me and Caryn went for a shopping trip. Was not suppose to spend money but... I just had to get myself 2 polo-tees... 'its a need rite... everyone needs to wear clothes' Lol... Were at the ADIDAS shop and I saw a very nice red bag. It was the kind of design I want but due to lack of money... HAI.... currently would still need to hang on to my current old dirty black bag... -_-
Now comes the problem with the dance school. I suddenly realise that whatever 'he' says cannot be trusted and not to take it to heart that it would come true.
Firstly, we were told that we are able to claim back the full amount of money for our costumes made. And he told us with full confidence and accuracy. And taking that he is the president of the dancesport. Now whatever he said is half true.
Today after dance class, we were then told that $900 was set aside for the 9 people. Which means that we are only able to get back a minimum of $100 and maximum of $150. And which means, I would not be able to get back as money as I can. But that does not mean that I am the chosen person to get the claims. He would actually pick and choose who to give them to.
He should at least say the accurate information and we would at least have a rough budget on how much our costume should cost.
Ok whatever..... it seems that I am the only one who is doing a costume. Yeah so... I would't know how much claims I can get back!! Or maybe, I would not get a single cent at all.
DAMN IT!!!

$250 bucks withdrawn, which she was gonna use that money to pay the deposit and make her dance costume. But it seems that she would have to reconsider bout having to make it now.
$450 for a dance costume is a hefty some of money for we students, when its gonna be sort of paid one short once the costume is done.
Went down to Lucky Plaza once again. This time, not to continue deciding whether to make the costume or not. But to pay a deposit of $200 to the tailor aunty. Once she had came up with a design for me last Tuesday, and after much consideration and discussion for like over 2 weeks with friends and the tailor aunty, I made up my mind quite soon.
Quite satisfied with the design. But having to make this costume would cause me loads of people gossiping about me behind my back as this coming competition is only my second attempt in a competition. If Caryn's is not gonna make her costume... it just only means one thing... I am the only person who is making a dance costume Definitely, in time to come, I gonna hears loads of nasty gossips from different mouths. (maybe) I know I should not drag on considering for too long as I know it would continue for ages and by then, its time for the competition on 31 July.
Spiff was nice enough to actually accompany me down to Lucky Plaza and also its because he needs to alter his damn bloody dance trousers.... He freaking-ly lost like 2 inches of waistline and around his thighs... Damn... Im so jealous. Lol... But the auntly kept emphasizing that he has NO BUTT... Whahahaha... Since Darly was so free, he also accompanied us down... and both of us went like helping Spiff to say 'OUCH'... every moment when the aunty mentioned about his butt.. Whahaha.... Poor thing... Having 2 guys to be accompanied with was sort of a good thing. Nice chaps... all down of a same reason : "DANCE, DANCE, DANCE"
Finally when everything was done, taking measurements and paying money... we finally headed to LJS at Cineleisure. It was a damn good time. Main aim... is to... GOSSIP... lol... At that point of time, we 3 really had sort of a heart to heart talk... about everything and anything and also about N.P.D.S.
It's been a long time every since I sat down and talk and crap with friends. It's so damn relaxing and fun!!!
