listening : Dynamite by Taio Cruz

"I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
saying eh-oh, gotta let go,
i wanna celebrate and live my life,
saying eh-oh, baby, let's go"

this song is stuck in my head. i feel like partying and this is the song playing in my head when we're doing that part of the dance where we cheer.

oops.

i'm not sure i'm supposed to mention that; and i'm sure you know what dance i'm talking about.

so anyways, hello people! i finally manage to find time to update this. but i have to go soon; i have another YOG rehearsal later so i have to eat and bathe and do all that. yeah. it's gonna be a pretty busy week. lemme explain.

monday - YOG rehearsal, chinese dance practice (which i skipped cos i don't wanna tire myself out on the first day of the week)

tuesday - a free day; i have absolutely nothing on! :D

wednesday - YOG rehearsal

thursday - chinese dance practice (which i will be going cos i missed today's), ballet class

friday - YOG rehearsal. this is the first full dress rehearsal and i think it's the first preview :D so excited! i can't wait to see the costumes; whether they look nice or awful

i still have stuff on saturday and sunday, but i'm not gonna post them here cos it's not a school day and i don't want stalkers :P

so i think this is all i wanted to say. and it is also to let you guys know why i'm not posting as often as before. and by the way, all the YOG rehearsals are AT NIGHT, and they end at like 10-11pmish, and i still have school the next day, which is why i skipped dance today. and i don't have time to do homework, so i'm trying to squeeze them into my free times.

p.s. the YOG people should give us excuse letters that let us report to school later than usual. we are doing our part for singapore, hello?!

listening : Cooler than Me by Mike Posner

helloooooooooooooooooo

so sorry that i have not been updating. i had dance for the whole of last week for today's performance, which i will elaborate more on later. and i had a YOG rehearsal yesterday night which was totally crazy and a complete waste of my time. but we have started having our rehearsals at the float @ marina bay, so we can at least "entertain" ourselves with singapore's skyline.

so as i was saying, today's performance. it was for racial harmony -which i think is tomorrow- and we danced this form of chinese dance called xinjiang dance. people, it is NOT indian dance. i think xinjiang is a country between india and china or something -i don't know- so that's why the song was so heavily influenced with indian vibes. i kind of like the dance steps though. but the costume was just, YUCK, in my opinion. this is probably the worst costume i have ever worn for a chinese dance performance. lemme describe it to you. i can remember it cos it was absolutely hideous and we looked like some kind of halloween princess disaster.

okay, try to picture this - a orange (yes, ORANGE) dress, that is high-waisted. and the top part of it is decorated with giant white swirls. and the bottom half of the dress has RUFFLES. three layers of it, to be exact. and that's not it; there's still more hideous-ness. we had to wear silver pants with silver sequins on it, and the pants were not tight or skin-hugging. yingshan said we looked like aunties going to the markat, and i totally agree with her.and then we had to wear orange socks (also with giant white swirls) that looked like shoes over our dance shoes and the ends of the silver pants. our dance teacher wanted the pants to like "stick out" a little, so it became VERY BAGGY. and that's not it. we had to wear this hat that was also orange with giant white swirls and FEATHERS sticking out at the top. in conclusion, we looked like clowns.

and, as i said earlier, we have started rehearsals at marina bay.
(YYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
although, rehearsals were boring, it was not like the ones we had at ________(insert location-which-i-think-cannot-be-told-or-maybe-it-has-i-don't-know)_____. there was alot of waiting for the other dances and we slacked there most of the time. yesterday we had the whole place to ourselves, but i don't know why another group took most of the stage space from us; leaving us with a 1/10 of the stage. i don't want to elaborate too much so i'm just gonna say we used most of the time waiting. and i had to wake up at 5am+ this morning as i had to report to school at 6.30am for the performance prep. thanks mommy for driving me to school :D oh, and this means that i only had 5 hours of sleep last night as i reached home at 12am last night from rehearsal.

watched : Despicable Me

i guess what is written on top says it all. i watched Despicable Me this afternoon. with Cheryl, Yingwen and Shuqi. we watched it as we wanted to celebrate Cheryl's, Yingwen's and my birthday(all our birthdays are back-to-back, mine's on 8 July, Cheryl's on 9 July and Yingwen's 10 July), and we all thought that the trailer was hilarious, so we watched it. and yes, it was pretty good. the movie kept everyone who was watching laughed every 5 minutes.

Gru's minions were probably the funniest one, followed by Agnes. if you don't know the characters, the minions are the yellow oval-shaped creatures on the movie posters around the world. there are a few that have names and that are mentioned in the movie. i think there's one called Kevin, and another one called Dave. i can't really remember all of their names though. anyways, the three girls are called Margo, Edith and Agnes; Margo is the oldest and Agnes is the youngest. Agnes is the cute little girl that says, "IT'S SO FLUFFY!" and also the one that smacks her cheeks in the trailers. the guy with the long legs and circular-shaped body is Gru, the sort of villain-turned-hero guy in the story. and the orange suit guy is Vector, the bad guy in the movie.

i shan't tell you about the plot though; if you wanna know then go watch it yourself :D

thank you to all the people who wished me a happy birthday! sorry i can't remember all your names or else i would have wrote it down here :D. and thank you Cheryl, Angeline, Shuqi, Glendon, Yingwen and Dahlya for the presents! i think that my chinese dance seniors will also be giving me a present cos they kinda hinted to me that they would be. so seniors, if you are giving me anything, thank you in advance! thank you to all the people who wished me a happy birthday on Facebook; i had a GREAT time typing thank you comments (JK, it's all much appreciated!) :P oh, and before i forget, thank you to my class, 2D'10, and the chinese dancers for singing birthday songs for me! especially to my class who sang it twice! :D

haha, i feel like some kind of actress making a thank you speech while collecting an award.

also, happy birthday Cheryl and Yingwen! you're both 14 now, just like me! :P hope you both like the presents!

team : Eclipse

*SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!*

in other words, that means you should not read this post until you have watched the movie or else it will spoil your excitement for it. though you should see my birthday wishlist at the ending of this post. but, i order you to go watch Eclipse NOW. it contains AWESOMENESS :D. and yes, I WATCHED ECLIPSE :DDD

this is my favourite twilight saga film YET. i can't wait for Breaking Dawn Part 1. which, in case you have not heard, Breaking Dawn WILL BE SPLIT into TWO PARTS, and IT WILL NOT be in 3D. that's probably cos of the sex scene and the giving-birth-to-Renesmee scene. i think i like Eclipse the most because it's the part of the saga where Edward proposes to Bella, and it's also where Jasper and Rosalie tells Bella their past.

i like the scene where they're hiding in the mountains during the fight, and Edward and Jacob are there protecting Bella instead of fighting. There was a part where Edward refuses to let Bella be near Jacob to be warm(as it was snowing), and then Jacob says, "i AM hotter than you." haha. that's one of the funny parts.

and then i also like the fighting scene. both of the fight parts, actually. the huge fight between the newborns and the Cullen+Wolf clan, and the fight between Victoria and Edward. the huge fight was just EPIC. there was alot of head-breaking/tearing/punching; and i think it was Emmett who head-butted one of the newborns and the newborn's head fell off. talk about strong. and then the fight between Edward and Victoria was almost the same, and it was when Bella cut herself that Victoria became more vunerable because of the blood. and of course, Edward and the Cullen+Wolf clan won both the fights.

but, the weirdest thing i noticed was, when the newborns' heads were snapped/broken/bitten off, there was no blood. the vampires' bodies were made of GLASS. i'm not sure if it was glass, but it was some kind of see-through hard material, and not a single drop of blood was seen. i'm not sure if that's supposed to like that, cos Stephenie Meyer didn't mention anything about how vampires' bodies were like in her stories.

other than that, the movie rocked. there is not much awkwardness between Bella and Edward now, and the Cullen clan looks stronger than ever. i'm sure Breaking Dawn will be awesome too. i can't wait for it to come out. it should be released next year during june or november, i don't know. oh, and 5 STARS for Eclipse :D (that's probably cos i'm a twilight fan :P)

and my birthday's next week! i'm so happy! i'm finally gonna be 14! i've never though about how my life was gonna be like when i'm 14, and right now, i'm kinda not happy about my grades. i have started doing and handing in my homework on time; so three cheers for me! :D

yingwen told me after we watched Eclipse yesterday to post a wishliston my blog so she can buy something that i want for my birthday. mind you though, some of them are not usual presents, so even if anyone gives me something that is not in this list, i'll still be happy as it's the thought that counts! :D

my wishlist:
Paramore's Brand New Eyes CD
that vintage necklace from Helen
a year's subscription to Seventeen
a new school bag
new demi-pointe shoes (i have worn out mine at the soles and this is only my 3rd moth of wearing them!)
a new dance/ballet bag
a Nikon/Canon camera
tickets to watch Singfest 2010 (Katy Perry is coming to perform! :D)
a hoodie (i don't have a hoodie! isn't that weird?)
that high-waist skirt from Cotton On
tickets to watch Despicable Me
anything that has to do with dance/ballet
alot more that i know but have not thought about

haha, i know it sounds ridiculous, and i'm asking for alot, but i'm okay with anything. something that has to do with dance is even better :D i hope deja vu will not happen on my birthday this year (if you know what happened last year)

okay, i need to go now, before i start rambling about useless information. by the way, there was supposed to go for camp today but i cancelled cos of YOG practice later. i hope later's practice will be worth the cancellation. i still wish i could go for camp :( craps, i'm starting to ramble on. sooooooooooooooooo, byes! :D
