"Saintsation from Saint Andrew’s Junior College and Incandescence from Catholic Junior College were out to show some real girl power! Many teams like them featured very strong female dancers who managed to steal the show from their male counterparts."

Anyway, just want to tell the dancework'ers that last night was a fantastic night filled with so much fun!! and for those who went for the reception and gorged their faces silly boy did we laugh our guts out!!

I do hope you all enjoyed Danceworks and
THANK YOU to

J2s (jackie, kelly, natalyn, sam, wanting, weiling, yijun) :

for making Saintsation even possible because so many of the original J1s left. I know you all had studies to mull over and SYF practices were so tiring but you all still had to stay back for danceworks practice after that!! I hope you all enjoyed Danceworks even if you all were somewhat forced into it by mrs chia! haha.. Thank you for investing your time, energy and effort into this competition!!

to jackie for doing my gorgeous hair and still going through this with stitches on your chin, to kelly for being the ever optimisstic president, encouraging us, praying for us and most importantly being our pillar of support, to natalyn for being the lead, throwing yourself all over the place and giving us the makeup colours! to sam who's always giving suggestions to better the dance, to wanting for being so chio (heh heh) to weiliang for being your ever hilarious self with your silly antics and livening up practices and finally to yijun who has been a GREAT help because everytime i want to speak to you all (and you all dun listen -_-) Yijun helps me to scream at you all to listen! muuahahah!!!

Amanda and Yong Huay:

THANK YOU TONS for sacrificing your saturday to come all the way down to EXPO to help us with our hair, makeup and costumes!!! and ESPECIALLY for helping Jilyn and I to change into our second costume so we could make it for the hiphop part in time!!! *PHEW* that part was so highly nerve wreking but thank goodness 2 of you were there!! both of you are life savers! and thank you to amanda for sewing up my stockings!! ahhaha..because silly me pratcially ripped them apart. -__-"


J1s (andrea, celena, charlotte, heon, jilyn):

thank you for putting in so much effort into this item! thanks to andrea for always helping us find pants for our costumes!! to celena who's our big bad chickeny druggie lord heh heh. to charlotte whose parents are our ATM machine for costumes and for coming up with the brilliant design of our costume in the first place!!! to heon for coming up with this super cool team name and you mum for making that hugh signboard with the word SAINTSATION on it and jilyn who still went on pointe even with blistered toes!!

Zaki:

Thank you for lending us the white dresses or else we would be stuck with that frayed purple skirts!!! hahah!! the dresses were absolutely gorgeous!! and also for the prep talk which you gave us which was a huge boost for our drowning morales. Your support was really uplifting and gave us confidence to bounce back! :)

Supporters:

WHOO!!!! heard you guys screaming for us on the stage and the coolest part was seeing the 6 letters "S A I N T S" pop out from the crowd in blue shiny bold letters! damn coooooll!! thanks for coming down alll the way to EXPO to cheer us on because it really gave us that extra energy we needed to inject into the dance! we dancers live off the audience's responses don't we!!


Thank you everybody for all your sacrifices and just to let you all know i appreciate it very much and if i was ever un-understanding and insensitive im realllllyyy sorry about it!! even though we didn't get a placing, im not disappointed. SERIOUSLY. i know kelly kept telling me to "not be so sad" but actually im just stoning. SERIOUSLY. SERIOUSLY. SERIOUSLY. i guess i was just kind of nervous for us because the competition was so strong and our rehersals were horrid. hahahaha!!!

but i really do believe that it isn't the moneytary or materialistic rewards that are important. What's most important is that we came out of this competition more experienced, more versatile and more bonded. And this shows that we can survive setbacks and raise to the occasion! Winning would just be an added bonus, something we don't need because we know we did our best!! :)

yup, that's it.
great job guys!

see you all at the balcony on monday!

HAHAHAHA!!! corinne, ur blog entries feel like my daily comic readings!! i mean it in a good way. except for ur sad parts, but its mostly funny. WHAHAHAHHHAHAHA.. you're a shopaholic!!!

anyways, GOOD JOB TODAY!!! i think we all did better today than usually, it could be because of watching the other schs, but you gotta admit, we got SERIOUS COMPETITION. it's frigging scary la! vj's costume may look strange, but DAMN!!! their accents are damn nice, i can almost smell THEIR gold. and tj is prob gonna be a judge-pleasing one, so.. RAWWWRRRR!!!!

BUT. BUT..

our choreo has immense potential!! we can definitely do well, if we just keep giving the same effort, if not more!! nail our accents down, and listen to the music, let it build up your energy and movements, im sure we can make a huge impact!! HAVE FAITH!! press on people, keep praying! be determined, be confident, make sure u dun lose your focus!!!

yeh baby. WE CAN DO THIS!!!

hey guys.. all i can say is, don't give up.

it's tempting, i know. it's painful, tiring, i know. i feel all that too. but despite panting as we run to blocking and fighting the fatigue we feel creeping onto us, remember why u're doing all of that in the first place. we joined dance all of our own accord, we stayed on thru the tough trainings.. we went thru so much, we should just take syf as the next hurdle to cross. im sure everyone in dance now have a love for dance. so let's show it. be glad to be on the stage, to be part of the team representing sajc. we can do it, if we gave it our best. like zaki said, 5 days - we can turn this around.

treasure the rehearsal time we have in kallang tmr, and hopefully, we wont let our TICs and zaki down tmr. lets show the other schs what we're made of. we're all stronger than we think, so dont get depressed by scoldings.. they're only to push us to do better, and we CAN prove the sch wrong. so lets do it, stay strong. keep praying guys.

and rest well!

well its my first time blogging in the dance blog :)
kelly spoke to all of us today regarding the reputation of dance. Seriously ppl, i think what all of us lack is responsibility. if we guys had the responsibility to clean up and perfect our steps - steps that we know we aren't good at or even if we are good at, we would never have to end up in the situation that we are in today. whereby kel had to clean up our steps over and over again and we had to get screwed by zaki etc... even i admit that i have slacken and we should never let that happen!! SYF is only one week away and why can't all of us just give our best to this last week?

We shouldn't care about what ppl say about us. Kel.. this is gg out to u. Don't ever ever think that you are a bad president or whatever shit. You should never let what others say about us affect you. Do what you deem is right for you and for the whole dance society. Lets take all these one at a time-SYf, danceworks and then we deal with what our reputation in school is like.

And dancers, don't mind me for saying this but i really think we should tone down on the way we carry ourselves in the cafe and anywhere out of the studio. I'm guilty of screaming and laughing out loudly and taking our own sweet time in walking to any destination where we have to gather and so, we have to change this! we can't let people think that dancers are nothing but pampered, spoilt and arrogant people.

And yes.. i know all of you have the passion for dance and don't get caught up in the whirlwind of material gains that we forgotten our main purpose - that is to enjoy ourselves.

Love u all dears.

raawwrrr. my feet are sore.

who's going for LIFE concert? wait, is there even practice on that day..?? :/

anyway, justin said the performance on yesterday was good, just that it was kinda messy in the first part, where everyone was moving, and ck and doreen seemed to almost collide. couldnt see too clearly, lighting was bad. oh wells.

keep working hard everybody!! its tiring, no doubt, i feel the pain too, but try till u feel like dying. just watch injuries and strains, DONT push it. cos im pretty sure we all want to perfrom for syf, yesyes..?

anyway, good job corinne, on finishing the danceworks item. lets try our best and win! we can do it!!! i just hope i dont start laughing at the end of it..

hurhur.
