Golden & Silver Excesses

This week's been interesting. Monday night saw me sign up last minute at Attitude Dance Studio, home to salsa king Tzeyi and other smooth operators... I was there for their I1 module under Lesly and gee, was I right when I said LADC doesn't concentrate on basics cos I can't even do a fscking single turn right! Funny thing though, the people in the class are ALL white collar workers... freaky. I'm like underage jailbait compared to most of them...

Wednesday night = Union night from now on, cuz whoa... the whole gang was there! Met the Jitters salsa pals (Porshee, Peter, Sherry and Yingyi), Marco's gang and new faces for me... the MINDEF forum gang! Ben and Jared (aka pamal and guest) were pretty cool... and wah the dancing for me that night was how good la. Actually started to SWEAT, which means that my frequency of dance is going up... even if my standard is like shit, as proven on Thursday at Hard Rock with Jared's friend. Yeah, Chew Mei's "bounce a lot" comment pretty much killed me that day. And excuse me for not knowing you invite a girl for a dance with "both hands" and can't offer just one... Geez. HRC Salsa night seems to be primarily an ADS/Bodytalks affair so I think I should pass next time...

Friday Fiesta was super sweaty and outstanding! Despite getting manhandled by the silly Holland girl who doesn't know how to salsa at all. Haha. Mei Pin was nice enough to spend so much time dancing with me (though she claims she's killing time...) And at the end I led Eddie... that was how funny lah! He follows my moves better than any girl so far. After Fiesta, Yingyi convinced me to go check out Keith's band: Reverie at BarCelona, Robertson Walk - they're quite amusing, mm. The silly girl was so totally taken with the vocalist Jon! Damn nearly ordered a Sex on the Beach but luckily I decided to let Ying be the guinea pig, or else I'd have ended up ordering a girl's drink! >_< Lesson learnt, always order a beer. (IMO nothing beats an Erdinger, not even freshly brewed Paulaner Brauhaus lager)

Saturday was lesson packed: Bachata with Keith and Ying at Jitters, then I ran over to LADC with Ying in tow for Int/Adv. As per my pattern, I always cock up every alternate lesson, so the finisher for today's lesson was lost on me. Meanwhile, Lionel tells Ying she's got mad skillz... I'm like how sad la, he never says anything to me. =( Oh well. After that there was a dinner for paternal grandma's birthday but gee... these things always seem to be the same. As Huiying says, "(the relatives) have been talking about (my) 'naturally permed' hair for 2 years now, they've really run out of things to talk about!"
