DAY 1

HELLO dancers,
lynette posting here! :)
The camp was fun, you guys enjoyed yourself right?
Remember to thank teachers, and seniors who helped with the planning of the camp.
okay, briefly talk about what we did.
So for those we missed it you all can at least know what happened? :)
We had breakfast, which was maggie in the canteen.
After that went up AVA room.
Played some bonding games.
1)The balloon bouncing thing.
2)See who cried the loudest?
3)Bumper chair. (Charmaine refer to it as habbo wobble squabble)
4)"OUCH!"
5)Xi Shua Shua Dance.
after that we changed location, moved our bags to the music room.
and went hougang point to have our lunch.
Went back music room, had dance practice :)
Danced our 2009 SYF dance, which deproved alot from the standard that we went for SYF...
After that we played water bombs,
Junior VS Seniors.
Was very very fun, but very very sunny too =x
Then we had BBQ session :)
Teacher bought alot of foods, thank you! :D
hahas, alot of food was charred by the flame.
Around till 9+, cooled down the BBQ pit.
when to bathe, taking turns.
when everyone's done, we went back music room.
YanQi & LiYing went home, they did not stay overnight.
Wanted to watch enchanted before sleeping, but visualiser not working.
Jiaxin told us to write our names on a piece of paper, then people can come and "tag" you,
did for the teachers too :)
After that lights out, but only 3 people sleep.
Then only left 1 asleep, elaine.
HAHAS, alot people cant sleep, its really very uncomfortable.
Lights Out~~

Day 2
Woke up around 7+.
Suppose to have our morning stretch,
but no time, went straight to hougang point for breakfast.
After that played water bombs again, finished up all the plastic bags.
People were aimed and alot more drenched than yesterday.
Cause they aim people that are not so wet, so ending up everyone's wet :)
Cleaned up and went back music room.
Did Sec 1 Orientation stuffs, like the cards for them.
2+ Dismiss :)

Finally, an update.

We did well for both SYF and Arts fiesta, duh. Haha. So now, the secondary fours are graduating sooooooooon. I don't even know if we are allowed to sneak back in to dance. (hehe)

Ohwell, we'll miss all of you juniors.
Pictures up next, stay tunned.

Hmm.

I feel that dancers who only turn up for dance for 5 mintues to let's say 20 minutes is unfair to those who turn up for the whole 2 hours or so, and get marked as present in the attendance. I don't know, that is how I feel.

Let's say Dancer A came from 3.30 and danced till 6pm and got marked as present. Then Dancer B came to dance at 5.30 PM or worse, 5.45PM and also get marked as present. It's like, you only danced for perhaps 2 times and off you go, to your little cozy home. Or worse, those who come, remained in their uniform and didn't dance because it was time to go home AND THEY FRIGGING GET A TICK FOR THEIR ATTENDANCE. AND COMPLAIN WHEN THERE IS A ZERO WHEN THEY TURNED UP FOR 2 FRIGGING MINUTES. Now, isn't it unfair for Dancer A?

Another example would be you and your friend have been assigned to do this project. You did almost all of the research and your friend only did a little fraction of it. In the end, both of you got an 'A' grade. Now tell me, is this fair to person A?

What I'm trying to say that, a lot of dancers have been putting in a lot of effort for dance. Coming every day without fail, and not being late, okay maybe 15 minutes late. I can say I am one of those who turn up for practically every dance lesson. So, the number of hours we spend in dance is totally, absolutely not not not equal to those who always come very very late. Get my point?

I just feel it's unfair. I don't know. I just wanna voice out.
What do you guys think?
Sighs.

Hello pretty-darlings!

Dance today was especially funny and enjoyable, isn't it? The curse thing going on and yeah, it was fun. 11 more days to SYF and we seriously hope we can achieve a better result. So our 6 days practice, or what we call the intensive trainings, would be the most most crucial practices because after that, SYF would be over.

BUT, whatever result we would get, whether it is above or below our expectation, we still have to give a Hundred and Ten percent of our effort.

What if we see ourselves getting above of what we expected, we would be so damn over the moon. But what if we see ourselves getting below of what we expected, isn't it disgracing? It is to me. So I hope you girls can seriously spend these last 6 days, concentrating, practising and everything FOR the syf and for us, the whole dance group.

Let's all do our very best okay?

(:

Hello dancers.

Today was hell isn't it? Staying back just to practice our dance steps without the teacher. As most of you was not able to see the whole 'after-effect' of the dance ( after Yuling and Jiaxin teaching you guys pensively ) , I assure you that it is hell neater than before except for one or two sabotages. Keep up the good work and we will have a higher change of getting another Gold Award. As long as we are neat, and we dance as ONE instead of all 21 of us, we so can beat the other schools.

So, we definitely have to change our attitude towards dance from now onwards, because everyone of us are able to dance as well as YuLing, am I right? I myself, is a perfectionist during dance, I try and very best to get the steps right, improvising the ugly bits and hoping that it will reach the teacher's expectation. So if you can dance as good as yuling then I have nothing to say because if you know you are not, then work on it.

I know some people in the dance can't even be bothered because of some issues like they are not in the front, and they think that they can't be seen and all those craps. But, hell no, everyone makes up this dance, without any one of us, this dance will seem to be lacking of something. It's the team spirit that keeps us going, that keeps the whole group together. Understand?

So, I shall see you guys on Wednesday then.
Tooodles,

Charmaine.

( The blog has been updated, like finally? )

Okay girls, listen up.

Since both teachers aren't choreographing the chinese new year dance for us, we have to choreograph on our own. That's sad, isn't it? Hence, we need the co-operation from all the dancers to find dance steps. It doesn't matter if the steps don't fit chinese new year theme, because we can always change it.

We are having dance practices that we added on our own on 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. These practices are optional, which means that you can come if you like. Maybe for the first few practices, it will be flexibility training, practicing our syf dance, etcetc as we haven't even started on our chinese new year dance, l=

So the time for the practices is 10 am to probably 1 to 2 pm or anytime you want. So please try and come? It will benefit you. (:

Charmaine.

2008-10-21T14:14:00.000+08:00

Should we even revive this blog?

Anyways, tomorrow's pactice starts @ 1.30 , I think.
Please don't treat chinese dance like you own it alright? Come as and when you like, & start giving shitty excuses like:

1. Not feeling well.
If its a slight heacache, I rather you to get your butt to lesson and sit down to watch, rather than kicking up a fuss when you don't get good places in the dance because you didn't turn up. You ain't the queens my dears.

2. I'm tired.
Who isn't tired? Damn. We are all humans, if we can stand this tiredness, I do not see why you can't. Unless you have some long-term MC that says you can't exercise for a year. Then I do not see why you should be packing your bag after school and head straight to the damn gate to get back home, JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE TRIED.

Do inform any of the committee members if you can't make it for dance lessons.
No information given will be marked as ZERO instead of EXCUSED.

&!

If your friends are interested to join HS chinese dance, please do ask them and find out if they are really interested in DANCE, and not for the CCA points and just because they don't have one. We are not a group who recruits the LEFT-OVERS, mind you. They join and they leave, learn our skills and leave?

&&!

No PE tee-shirt? Buy them @ the NEAREST BOOKSHOP at the celebration wall for only SG$6, ( I think ) how cheap is that?

&&&!

Most importantly, practice makes perfect.
These rules will be implemented because some people are just giving more trouble and frustration to us (:

Thank you.

Ohmygod!

Seriously, our blog is so dead. Time to update and make it alive.

2008-03-31T02:39:00.000+08:00

Hello dancers.

There will be a new column for our dances which will be uploaded on youtube which is still under construction, anyways, good luck for your exams. :D

2008-03-26T09:38:00.000+08:00

Dear dancers,

There will be no dance practice this Thursday, due to the exams.
And probably Friday too.
So in conclusion, no dance this and exam week.

Please also note that there is a dance fund going on, so you HAVE to donate $1 every week, the best will be by thursday because beverly don't come to dance on friday. If not please pay up what you owe the following week.
This dance fund will be used for chalets, bbqs etcetc .
Thank you.

Hello dancers,

This is the story behind the couple. Read the story first and watch the video or click the link at the bottom.
The lady in her 30s was a dancer and was trained as one since she was a little girl. Later she got into some kind of accident and lost her entire left arm. She was depressed for a few years.
It seemed that someone asked her to coach a Children's dancing group. From that point on, she realized she could not forget dancing.
She still loved to dance and wanted to dance again. So she started to do some of her old routines. But by her losing an arm, she also lost her balance. It took a while before she could even making simple turns and spins without falling. Eventually she got it.
Then she heard some guy in his 20s had lost a leg in an accident. This guy also fell into the usual denial, depression and anger type of emotional roller coaster.
She looked him up and persuaded him to dance with her. He had never danced. And to dance with one leg? No way. But she didn't give up and he reluctantly agreed. She started to teach him dancing 101.
The two broke up a few times because the guy had no concept of using muscle, control his body, and a few other basic things about dancing.
They hired a choreographer to design routines for them. She would fly high (held by him) with a sleeve for an arm flying in the air. He can bend horizontally supported by one leg and she leaning on him, etc ...
They danced beautifully and they legitimately beat others in the competition.

I just want everyone's passion for dance to never stop growing, It was so touching that I felt compelled to share it with you guys. Enjoy. :}
