Dancing~
hmm now channel 8 everyday 9pm, there's this drama series called "Rainbow Connection". But in chinese it is 舞出彩虹。 This show not only consists of Singapore actors and actresses but also from many many countries like Taiwan, and i think got Ma'sia and china. All of them know how to dance de, that's y chosen to act in this show. One of the female lead is Jeaneatte Aw. Dunno if this is corret spelling. U can call her the SK Jewellery girl if u want.
Yup, I have been watching the show from the very first episode~~ I see them dance so nice.... make me remember the Nanyang days we had.... At that time, we have 4 yrs of compulsory dance lessons ok... like PE lessons. During our dance lessons, we did alot of those stretching and dancing moves etc.... actually i like the dance lessons..... erm our dances are not those hip hop etc, but more of the graceful type... chinese type or ballet type those kind. Once we are taught Waltz too. So when I was watching the drama show, I feel like dancing myself. I understand, and fully understand what they mean when they say they can feel every cells on their body dancing to the sound and rhythm of the music. There is a sense of happiness, freedom, fluidity etc. U feel unbound, and part of the air and nature. It is that wonderful. How i wish i can have those dance lessons again.
This sat/tml, some of my studio ppl are going to zouk.... with the korean exchange students to celebrate end of submission or juz to chill out. Of cos I am not going. Went once to such place is enuff. hm i think club dancing is somehow like the dancing i mentioned earlier bah. In a way it is still numbing and moving to the music, letting every of ur cells dance. Juz that it is a different version. hmm....
Julie so greedy hor, want to play piano, play violin, sing, draw, den now dancing. tsk tsk.... too bad, I like all of them hehe~~
hahaha.. join wm and yk for dancing lessons??? hahaha...
I think clubbing is very different la. I think pple are squeezimg amd squashing each other instead of dancing. :oP THen again, I've never been to singapore clubs...
aniwaez.. thanx yesterday~~!!!
erm yk they all are learning those tat are not my fav kinds... hehe
oh i never went to singapore one, but i went to the Malaysia zouk during the last hols when I went over for archi lessons. It is ok la... only the dance floor abit squeezy but sufficient for u to dance.... but still, i cant take it. :(
oh no prob la~ haha, yesterday u all went to watch Harry Potter?
hahaha.. no la... not out yet wot..
Earliest available date is this coming wednesday. I watching it this coming friday with one of my smu friends lo. :o)
Yay!!! So excited!!!
