Hair Dye, Ichibawa, & San-San.

This morning, we were supposed to get out hair bleached and dyed by Gino.
But turns out there was not enough bleach after he was finished with Lika's hair, (yes, your name is in my blog again. You're famous, bitch. Live with it. xD) so my turn would be next week.
The results of Gino's England-Class Bleaching:

Minutes after the bleaching was done.

Later in the evening.
Not bad, if you ask me. xD

Bleaching my hair the following week also means:

No dancing next Thursday morning! xD

After that was done, Allegro Girl (whom although her mom mentioned her name today, I still can't remember! I only remembered it was Pei-something. Sorry! >_<) would be dancing with us. And in the second I was walking up the steps to the studio in the evening, I realised that I forgot my 'crunchy'. (I swear that woman is ruining my vocabulary.) Lika hadn't brought a spare this time, only that little.. hair clampy thingy. xD My hair was too thick for me to 'pin' it up like others would normally do, so Lika helped me clamp my hair up. The result?

All in favour of Lika taking hairdressing? *Raises hand*

Thankfully, we didn't dance much, because we 'weren't sure' (for the allegro and pointe part only, actually xD). So Allegro Girl did most of it. xD And to be honest, I wanted to cry seeing her. Not because I was moved or anything, but because I realised just how much I sucked. Still do, actually. *0* She had really strong legs (pros of being a runner) and great control. To top it off, she's only 14. Yeah. Can I go to a corner and envy her to death now?

On another note, Sayaka was correcting Lika on the honorifics department when Lika called her 'Sayaka-san' After Sayaka explained that only last names were associated with the '-san' (or any other honorific for that matter), I looked at Lika, slightly dazed, and asked, "Does that mean my name is San-san?" Although I already knew about the last name thingy, still, I had always wondered it. So Sayaka offered an alternative for my name: 日 ('Hee', meaning 'sun' in Japanese)-San. But then I said, to no one in particular, "But my name is Pit (if you don't pronounce the 't', it could sound like 'hee' ) San .. "
Apparently, Lika heard me because she burst into fits of laughter. xD
We then concluded that my name was (doomed to be) Pit San-san.
Now you know why I hate my name sometimes.

Anyways after that incident, Gino was mentioning an incident on how his 'Japanese nickname' was Ichibawa.
Not funny?
Let me rephrase that.
ItchyBawah.

Please tell me you get that.

Food Preview

Today was my first time attending a food preview.
Actually, I didn't even know it was a food preview until Mimi told me later on.
I also only got to know about this affair a few hours before the actual thing, when I went to the office earlier that day.

Anyway, Mimi fetched me along with Kevin and Teo.
Kevin talked a lot and was friendlier of the two. Maybe it was the language barrier. xp
To sum it up, let's just say that we had more desserts than main course. xD

After dinner and when we decided to head home, we stopped by the pianist playing in the lobby, because Kevin knew him.
Mimi requested a few songs and he played some others that he knew, and the first song Mimi requested was Winter Sonata.
I recorded a bit of it (I couldn't help it! >_<). Have a listen:

Ahh, the memories..
I remember Hong Wen first introduced me to this drama, which was how I began to like Korea in the first place.
And the only words I learnt (or rather, remembered) then were '그대'. xD
And it was the first time in my life that I cried so hard watching a drama. *.*

These Are What I Walk Down Memory Lane For.

I love them.

P/S: The practise at Swiss Garden went well, but it would've been even better if it wasn't SO.FRIGGIN.HOT.
We were all drenched.
Love the final pose of Sway, and Xing Wei's Hawaiian Solo.

Xing Wei's Solo:

*Sighs*

Lika would probably kill me for saying this, but..

I wish there were more concerts.

If not a performance by ourselves, then at least be a performance for the kids.
And it may be late, but within these few weeks of 'assisting' Lika in the kids' performance dances, I've come to realize completely that it's not Ballet I'm passionate about.

It's dancing.
Contemporary dancing, the kind you see in MVs.
And singing, something I discovered not too long ago.
Though my current standard is not quite 'decent' yet.
But I made a discovery with my voice tonight, something that I won't mention here.

But still, the fact remains that my main passion is performing on stage.
So people, get us (the entire team, if that's even possible! xD) to perform more! xD

The Reason Why I Love Kids & Dancing.

Today was a hell load of emotions all in one.

First, Lika was pissed that some students took forever to learn the simple steps for the Hawaiian Dance.
Then Luvena fell down from her chair while eating some snacks that a parent prepared for the students (how she fell is beyond me, although Gina had said that she toppled down from her chair), and at first cried because she said it hurt.
But when she stopped crying, Branice or Agnes said out loud, "Teacher, got blood!" and the whole crying marathon began again.
This time Luvena kept insisting that she wanted her mother, and we left her outside with Jing Faye's mother for quite a while before she (Jing Faye's mum) popped her head in the studio saying that Luvena would not stop crying and kept asking for her mother.

In short, I managed to coax Luvena to come back into the studio and made her river of tears stop flowing.
Thank goodness.

After that, Lika seemed to be running for class clown or something, because she sort of 'blackmailed' the students with her container of sweets, asking who was pretty, her or me.
So in other words, I got demoted to 'ugly', and Lika literally looked like the prettiest teacher in the world. T_T
But it was all in good fun, the class was roaring with laughter at the antics of all the 'adults', in other words Lika, her mother, me, and Jing Faye's mother.

By this time, Luvena had officially stopped crying completely, and was her usual self again.
Also helped by the fact that Lika would constantly ask Luvena & Branice who was the ugliest amongst the kids, to which both would always point at Jing Faye.
That's how the joke started.
I became in the 'ugly' gang with Jing Faye, to everyone's hilarity.

And because everytime someone admits that Lika was pretty, they'd get sweets, Luvena would exaggerate and keep praising Lika.
So needless to say she had the most sweets. Lol.
Luvena would say things to Lika like "Teacher, you are the prettiest. She (pointing to me) is ugly." Which caused the entire studio to burst into laughter.

So to summarize things up, this is where Lika & I stand at the end of the day:

• Lika is pretty but not sexy. (Luvena)

• Lika is pretty everyday (Luvena)
  *coughcough*Bodek*coughcough*

• I am sexy but ugly. (Luvena)

• I'm funny and naughty (Gina)

• "Teacher, you very funny la..~"(Gina to me)

We all had a good laugh today, the atmosphere was really pleasant.
Lika had also made the kids try a partner step for the Sway dance (under my suggestion), and they were all over the place, or in Lika's words (I quote), "Banging nen-nens." xD

My 'Routine' Is All Messed Up..

Trudat.

First of all, we didn't dance much at all this morning.
Just the usual warm up at the barre, plie and the works. We didn't even do the entire barre work, but by the end of the class (which we spent most of the time talking too), both my calf muscles hurt as if I just did an intense workout or something.

Then I later found out that Allegro (the girl, lol) wouldn't be coming until she finishes her Advanced 1 exam, which means that I'll have more time to rest before going for class (which is actually at 5.30pm).
Buuuuttt.. I did not sleep.

Instead, I was on the computer the whole time.
I knew I had to sleep if I didn't want to be a walking zombie like last week again, but (sometimes, I just wanna curse the internets.. or not. xD) I was absorbed in the internet.
(Not that I'm not always absorbed, but yeah, you get the picture.)

Then I received a message not long after to fetch my sister from school at 3.30pm.
I still hadn't slept when I fetched her from school, and by the time we got back, there was little time left before I had to take a shower before going to class.
That being said, I still managed to cram in at least 10 minutes of sleep before I took a shower.
Is that desperate or what??

But anyways, Ashley sent me to ballet today, because she was taking the car (Kancil) to the dentist.

When I went upstairs, our Advanced 1 music was playing, but Lika was just about to walk out of the studio.
Of course.
Gino wasn't there, he went down to Medan Selera to buy food.
And the music was to fool Gino into thinking that we've done up to that far.
But who were we kidding, really? That old geezer knew us too well. xDD

Oh, and we knew the results of that day's exam today too.
Highest mark in the school was a high Distinctioned 84, and belonged to (no surprises here) Misaki.
But a majority of the girls got a Distinction, so congratulations to them.
Though I wasn't satisfied that Carmen did not get a Distinction. She worked so hard, she deserves a Distinction, to be honest.

Also, during Tze Ping's Grade 7, we danced with her and (finally!) did some new dances.
So I didn't really feel sleepy or anything throughout.
Yet.

But yeah, that's it, to be honest.
I started feeling really drowsy in mum's room later after dinner though.
And I fell asleep halfway typing this up, finishing it the next day, today.
xD

A Short Excerpt From Mum's Birthday..

Cross posted from my LJ. ^^

Clicky!

And Today.. You Shall See How Badly I Can Phail.

Let me just do all of us a favour and warn you that I'm a bit (ok, maybe more than a bit) blur today as I write this.

Tiredness? Perhaps.
Sleepiness? Ah, there's the one.
I dunno if I'm even gonna make much sense starting from this point on. But I'll try. =3

After my blog entry earlier this morning, turns out I didn't get much (none, actually) rest, mostly due to the lures of the interwebz.
But I thought that it wouldn't be so bad, since all I was gonna do later was go to the studio and laze around, helping Lika teach occasionally, but boy was I wrong.

Lika had asked me to bring my laptop because she had some VCDs that she wanted to show me, that might help us with the steps for the next performance.
Well it did give us a few ideas, but it was kinda hard to take those VCDs as reference, since the majority of them were literally kind of aerobic-like videos.

Later, Lika, Jovian and me went behind the studio, where they had this little shops selling chinese foodstuffs and whatnot (and to which I haven't been to since it opened, which was months ago), because Lika's sambal belacan cucumber snack had her lips transformed into Angelina Jolie's (according to her, anyway).
We had originally wanted to get some snacks from Medan Selera, but the majority of the 'snack shops' were not open.

Then we went upstairs, watched the video for a while, taught Grade 5, and then came Tze Ping's class.
Jovian had left Lixian's book at the studio, so Lika had fun with it, opening the book at a random page and reading a line out loud, then making fun of the way it sounds.
We (Lika and I) had a good laugh about it, while Tze Ping was quite clueless most of the time.
Later on, Tze Ping and I began talking about Harry Potter, which this time left Lika clueless.
We were discussing the happenings in the book, and it got Lika kinda interested to start reading her Chamber of Secrets book again.
(She was never really interested in reading, especially books that had no pictures in it, but after Tze Ping and my babble about the interesting parts of the book, she had the mood to try reading it once more.)

Also, during that discussion, a new character was born: Hisyornee (HisYourKnee).
Opposite of Hermione (HerMyKnee), come up by yours truly.
Can you tell? xD
Also, my comment of how, in my opinion, the Inferi from the movie trailer just looked like really tall Smeagols from LOTR.
I was anticipating that part the most when I read the book; the idea of dead bodies coming out of the waters to grab someone does sound interesting, doesn't it?
But yeah, it looks slightly comical from the trailer.

But then again, like they say, don't judge a book by it's cover, or in this case, don't judge a movie by it's trailer. xD
I'll just state my opinion tomorrow, once I've watched it. =D

But by the time it was the middle of Tze Ping's class, I began to feel the pinch.
That's when I started feeling drowsy, and my eyelids were shutting down.
Even more so because I hadn't worn my classes or contacts, so everything is in even more of a blur.

Carmen's class went by in a daze; I wasn't paying it much attention, nor could I pay much attention.
I didn't realise I looked blur until Lika asked me why I looked either so moody or blur during Grade 5.
From then on, the blur-ness began slowly catching up on me.

By the end of all the classes, I felt hungry and sleepy, but right then I just felt like going back, turning on the air conditioner, and plopping off to dreamland.
But when I got back, I felt slightly more awake, so I had dinner, and dozed of to sleep while writing this instead. =3

(I was typing up the 5th paragraph when I finally gave in to the sleepy spells and fell asleep in front of my laptop. I woke up about 2-3 hours later and finished typing this up. Now that I'm done, it's back to proper sleep for me. I was half awake the entire time I typed this up. xD)

Gooooooddd Morning Lovelies~!

Entry cross posted in my Cyworld. ;D

Go look at it! Go! *Shoos* =D

Kids, Assume Position!

Apparently, they have another performance.
Another wedding performance, this time for one of Gina's mother's friends at Swiss Garden's poolside.

If all goes well, I'll be following Lika to Swiss Garden tomorrow to check the place out.

The view would be spectacular and brilliant, but somehow, that very place (poolside) just spells trouble and mayhem.

Let's hope the performing space is bigger than the Mexica's one, at least.
