Ballet ~*

wow. today was my first ballet lesson in like ages.
and i can't dance!
whee! all the pirouettes, fouetes, adages, gissades and jetes, developes, frappes, etcetcetcetc. all messed up. my turn out is like partially gone, 5th position has somehow the ability to turn itself spontaneously to a 3rd position (which u use in grade 3 as opposed to like grade 8), my leg muscles have gone, and i do not have a ability to do 7 fouete turns at a shot (those damn pro many many million turns u see at the ballet where the dancer has the amazing ability to stay fixed on the spot), and double turns for every pirouette, which i used to be able to do, and can only do erratically now.
how did i pass grade 8 with honours? gosh. feel abit dui bu qi ms chew liddat.
but it was still a whole load of great fun!
u discover the fun in life when you can laugh at urself when the whole world's laughing at u, and when you have 2 other great frens screwing the exercise up together with you, it makes it even funner! it was amazing when we did on the spot releve pirouettes, and shihan n i would like gravitate towards each other, or like shihan and selene would like move towards me and i'm in the centre getting all squashed up and not daring to continue cos they'll crash into me... etcetcetc. and the entire class of ppl younger and pro-er than us laughing at how comical these 3 toots who cannot turn anymore are...
i think the only exercise i dint like mutilate at all was the very first stretching one, and that was like the easiest first barrework exercise. whee! hahahahahha.
fun! but mrs skipp's gonna take the class next yr and if i'm gonna learn from her, i better shape up or ship out. sheesh. haha or when she overcomes the initial "oh yay! huilin's back to learn ballet!" she'll be like "damn... why the hell did she bother to come back with this kinda lousy standard?" hahahaha and then she gets to scream at me like old times again. except, now, i wunt care cos no more exams and she wunt be able to make me cry anymore. muahahaha.

dinner with shihan at cafe cartel was great. my parents were there and they were SO NICE to bring my granny home first then head back again later to pick me up! gosh! and they paid for our dinner summore woah! amazed. i asked them if i can go out at night on mon, wed, err sat... etcetc and they were like "oh As over rite? do anyting u want!" im shocked and aghast. wow...
