danced till i dropped - that's wat i've been doing for the past five days excluding wed and thu. had mad on thu, fri, sat, mon, and tue! was supposed to have chi dance on wed, hehe, but i didn't go. too tired la. anyway they didn't do much. sun was gone in a flash too cos i had dance at hokkien huay kuan. oh well, actually some days practices quite slack, but cos i was down with a cold (kept sneezing continuously) and there were 2 competitions and a performance, we ended pretty late on some days.
if u've seen the poster hanging in front of the dance studio, u will know about the dance comp held at youth park. ha, we were trashed anw. but it was a last min thing lah, didn't noe we were going to participate until like thu! yup, so we didn't prepare for it. i must admit tho that the contestants were quite strong, cos the category was the open cat - anyone can join. u can simply set up your own grp. but frankly, even if we were last (altough we weren't - we were 2nd last, ha), i think we should have won the Decent Award 2005. we were the only grp that didn't reveal our midriffs other than one more other grp! many female contestants we wearing tubes and sport bras only. we were considered really underdressed. oh well, it's good experience anw.
moving on to the other comp. it was the clean and green wk comp held at suntec on tue. there were only 2 pathetic participating grps for our cat, but we won second - meaning last. boohoo. i heard that the judge is a modern dance tr at scgs, so i think she prefers the jazz genre. maybe she doesn't exactly appreciate our sort of hiphop dance. but i must also admit that we were quite messy, cos there were a lot of last min changes made. one of our members couldn't make it, so formations had to be changed. also, we had to include props and a little change in choreography in order to make the dance more relevant to being clean and green! our costumes were also changed to white and green for the purpose. we even cut up our tops cos the rules stated that used materials are to be utilized! but i thought it was quite a pity seeing new and proper clothes being snipped into rags.
oh, and on tue itself, we also participated in A12's (if i got tt right) concert later in the evening. their concert was pretty cute, but i only caught the first half, cos later we had to go back stage to prepare. before we made our appearance on stage, me and limen were hiding behind the curtains, watching the performance. it was some piano recital as their class video was being flashed on screen. the music was soothing and touching, and suddenly, both of us felt quite sad that it would most likely be our last time performing with mad. sigh. although it's only been five days of dancing together, both of us had the feeling that we've been through a lot with mad. we aren't that close yet, but i'm sure we grew closer to them. so it's really sad that we will gradually drift apart just after growing closer. initially, i sort of felt that some of them were a little intimidating, but after getting to know them better, many of them seemed very nice and friendly :)
i'll miss mad...
