hey guys!! i too, am late in posting.


i think we've read a good many blogs about rapture, and they all echo how we all feel.. its really strange to sit at the dance table in the mornings, look at each other and ask, "what are you doing today, after school?", only to meet blank stares and "i don't know"s.. sigh. my classmates have gotten used to me clinging onto my sweater whenever im not wearing it. its the rapture withdrawal symptoms, its worse than last yr..!!


anyway, a big THANK YOU to everyone involved, cos without you, rapture wouldnt have been a success. :] to my fellow j2s, HEY, theres alumni for esplanade next yr..!! we'll always be dancers, part of sa dance society.


n lets get zaki a dance sweater.. :]



eat.sleep.dance.REPEAT. love you all! :]

AND, there will also be a hip-hop course being conducted in the studio!

So to make it more convenient and to prevent disruptions, please bring in your costumes TOMORROW!!!

hey people i think it's really irritating to see people not following instructions. this is an order from kelly: those who didn't do the duty for today will be fined, $1 each. that's Weiling, Kim and Weishan. please pay your fines to Sam BY TOMORROW. add a dollar a day for late payment. Sam take note of the people and get the fines from them please thanks. i won't be fining THE WHOLE DANCE SOCIETY YET. so u guys better do something about it. cummon people it's just emptying the dustbin and doing ur duties. be responsible please thanks.



LIMITATIONS dancers here's the video. the dance is called Passage. thanks Kanghao. enjoy!
10:45 PM



Aye people. we didn't come up with a duty roster for the fun of it you know. i cease to wonder why there are still a lot of rubbish in the bin and around it although the duty roster is up. cummon people you gotta cooperate. even if it's not your turn today, it doesn't take much for just one of you to help clear up the area and empty the bin. please let this be the first and the last time. from tomorrow onwards, if the bin is still in a terrible mess as it has always been, the people on duty for that day will be fined. if it happens again, i think it is just right to impose fines on everyone. you are part of the dance society, you own the dance studio. please start acting like you do if you think you don't. cooperation people. thank you.
10:35 PM



Hey people, i'm sorry for the last minute changes in blocking today but i really think u guys did a good job and it was a good run like what nat said :] Keep up the good work but please practise ur steps when u'er free and put in more energy, point ur toes and SMILE! i'm really sorry we're using 15 minutes from Chichi's time tmr ( thanks chichi!). Please brig ur shoes and try it during the dance tmr! thanks once again people! :]

*i'm sorry for all injuries suffered during this dance but i'm grateful for all the effort u put in
Take loads of care alright. See ya tmr!!!

After Zaki's rehearsal on wednesday, all dancers are supposed to stay in the dance studio and item i/c are supposed to check that everything is ready. All costumes and props must be checked through and ensure that they are in working condition.

Prop girls- i need you girls to be very familiar with the props for each items. i hope that you all can be more organised:) thanks

Sway girls- please get the following ready for rehearsal on Tues:
1) heels with the straps
2) earings and pendant ( we will get black ribbon for everyone)
3) black dress (with the necessary straps)- i think we have to try dancing with dress on Tues as it might restrict our movements.
Sway guys- please get your oufit ready by Tues too.

Sanguine girls- pls bring thread and needle to mend your costume tomorrow.

higher ground girls- pls bring your black shoes for mon rehearsal.

Beaute-good job girls. It's fantabulous! pls remember you have to get your pink stockings for the item. All ballet dancers who finish their class early, report to dance studio at four on tuesday to make the hair accesories.

Jubilation- good job girls! it's a great run today. Anyways i could feel the happiness surging inside of your heart and the unleashing of exuberence today! pls bring twenty dollars for your leotards on tues. alright, i have a prob in getting character shoes for everyone. If you can, please try to borrow around from your friends. I will try my best to get as many pairs as possible.
We will try to have a run on tues with shoes:)

that's all dancers. Press on and i'm sure we will have a great performance for rapture!

hey guys!i hope we all know the steps like the back of our hands already...but if u don't...heh u know what to do huh..go home and practise, visualise, mull over it, or whatever u nid to do to get it drilled in before Rapture!=)

Anyway, to make sure that the dance fund doesn't explode from the overload of fines on Monday, please bring your tube tops back with the pretty sequins nicely sewn on!The design/pattern of the sequins is random so u can be creative! and i know we got quite alot of sequins that day, but using all may make it look abit..er...overcrowded?so ya,moderation is the key to a healthy lifestyle!(okok, not funny...)*grins*

Also, pls start sewing the velcro and button on ur white shirt! I think some of u don't have the Velcro yet coz u were absent when we were giving it out, so please come and get it from me coz i don't know who u r!

Tip:
1) sew short strips of velcro (makes it easier to strip!) to top half of shirt (coz we'll be tying the bottom half haha)
2) sew 'pop' button (remember to go get it urselves!) right at the top of the shirt where the first button is (point is to look nerdy haha so bear with it)

Oh my...Rapture's coming in 7 days! please take good care of urselves! and remember to smile smile smile and enjoy urselves while performing coz that's the most important!

JACKIE wants me to pass this msg to the Entrapment dancers. oh btw, due to some technical error, the item is no longer called Entrapment, but Limitations. it will appear as Limitations in the booklet.


oh well... but anyhoooo... yeah as i was saying... msg from Jackie... he would like you guys to get the song from Ms Charlotte-pretty-wannabe-Wong through MSN. heh. please add her at deepstarsugar@hotmail.com and get the track from her asap. he wants you guys to listen to it properly and take note of the accents. then practice the steps and get everything drilled into your head. this is an order from Jackie, not me. haha.


apparently we only have like less than 2 hours allocated for us to practice till Rapture. so yeahhh... the item is pretty challenging and we get all the aches and bruises but they didn't invent the knee pads for nothing know. was it jess or doreen who wore it just now? SMART people haha... if soccer players can wear them, why can't we? okay i don't think i make any sense but wth. so take note please thanks.

i think i might be a little late to comment about ck's post, but here i am.


i dont know why are you feeling this way, but i totally agree with what weiliang, kelly and sam had said. god gave you a gift to dance, but why are you not accepting it? i am no christian but i know that god would not take away something that he gave you away. he wants you to dance and that's why you are in dance for a year plus.


put it in this way, pulling out of an item stirrs up alot of problems for zaki and the remaining dancers. i think we are all loaded with items and we thought that syf is something that we should not worry about, and now, we have to reblock all the way from the top to the bottom. where's the fantastic lift that you and yj did? no one is able gonna do that because they are occupied with other partners.



all i think ck, you should do, is to accomplish this dance. just dance twice and no one will stop you from stopping to dance again. it's irresponsible of you just to leave like this. wl said something that i totally agree, the world doesnt revolve around you. but if you want to leave just like that, i think everyone will just hate you, but like what kelly said, we'll adapt.



so reconsider your decision, ck.






anyway, dance on saturday! kelly, i would really need your help. i forgot majority of the steps! hahah!
