My Last Week Of The Summer Break

The last week of my summer break and boy was it one of the best weeks that i had the whole summer.

Monday:

My white nike shoe is starting to fall apart and i figured that it was best to just use it for fencing from now on, meaning... ... NEW SHOES!!!

I went down to the "Famous Brands" shoe shop near school on a quest to find size 13 shoes. In the end, i left the store with a pair of brown, size 13 Puma Liga sneakers on sale at 60 bucks. Simple, nice and comfy.

I didn't expect to find my shoes so easily as told by previous experiences so i had loads of time on my hands that evening. So, i ended up roam around the area, walking to suntec (where i discovered a new doughnut factory branch) and back, before deciding to head down to union.

I don't usually go down to union on mondays as there are usually few people and so the decision to go down was spontaneous. Once i got there, i bumped into douglas and i realised that that decision was a damn lucky one because MAGNA GOPAL was dropping by union that night.

Fyi, Magna Gopal is one of the mega names in the world salsa scene.

Anyways, she had just attended the malaysina salsa festival 2007 and was stopping by singapore for the day. Most of us didn't know about it because she wanted to keep it low key and word of her arrival only got out that afternoon.

She arrived at 11plus and boy was she stellar!!!! I really like her style. Sharp, subtle but full of energy and style!!!! Her dances blew me away!!!

With big names right here at home n union, usually the best local dancers get to dance with dem first. People like tze yi, hai han and others. As for dancers like me, we usaully just stand by the side and watch.

Thus, i was REALLY LUCKY to get to dance with magna that night. It was the last salsa song of the night and i asked her for a dance!

It was very fun!!! Me being the noob that i am, didn't really have any spectacular moves or styling and so i just tried to have fun during the dance. Magna played along and it became really enjoyable. It wasn't flashy and stunning but i really had fun :D

Oki so now, i have danced with Susana Montero and Magna Gopal... ... who'll be next?lol

MAGNA GOPAL!!!!

Happy salsa dancers.

Wednesday:

I finally went clubbing after so many missed opportunities during the summer break. Seeing that it was going to be the last wednesday before school starts, when i'd have to bunker down and study, i decided to head down to phuture/zouk wif a couple of my ss friends.

It was real fun, i drank alot and it think it was one of the time when i got really high cos i dank quite a lot. I drank some at home, drank at ice cold where we met and drank at phuture. There, i had loads of long island tea, which was damn strong, a flaming lambo, and someother stuff...lol

Anyways, i'll try to describe the sensation of being damn high. My limbs kinda felt detached from myself and my consciousness was restricted to my head area and it felt like i was piloting myself from my head, sorta like a pilot piloting a gigantic robot from a cockpit in the head...lol

Needless to say, with alocohol, everything becomes fun, really fun and i enjoyed myself very much. Didn't really enjoy the hangover the next day though...lol

Cedric, Dawn and me

Smoky and surreal

Happy bunch of people

Thursay:


Went to school to reformat my laptop which was infected by some pesky virus through msn. I also met up with grace, the apparel vendor we are engaging for avfc 07 to look at the quality of the shirts.

That evening, i met up with corina, hai han and heather to get philbert a birthday gift and have dinner. As some of you might know, im not someone who warms up to new people easily and so i was quiet during the trip but at dinner, it got better as we started discussing about salsa.

We proceeded to union thereafter and celebrated philbert's birthday salsa style wif loads of dancing....



Saturday:


I met elaine to go and crash convocation 07 to support the fencers who were performing that day. It was a pretty impactful 20 seconds of fame for the fencers and i felt that the overall performance this year was good. The food sucked though...lol

After convo, xh n zr joined us and we headed down to ryan's house for his 21st birthday bbq celebration. Loads of nice food and drinks. I particularly liked the bbq stuffed sotong. SHIOK!!!

Thereafter, the fencers went down to St James for our back to school bash. Basically, it was our last chance to have fun as a team before school starts. We went to the boiler room first but switched to the power house as LuCY signed up for a membership and got us a free bottle of johnny walker's. THANKS CY!!!!

With that bottle, we drank and danced but soon switched back to the boiler as they were playing house at the power house but R n B at the boiler. It was fun to see all my team mates dancing and chilling. Yesh, even JIAN WEI was dancing....lol

Hopefully, the new freshies will be as fun as us and my aim for cca day is that by our next fencing clubbing outing, they'll be an equal number of guys and gals!!!! wahahahahahah.

Tipsy stupor

Fencers gone wild.

It has been a nice and slack 4 month summer break, with the highlight being the hk trip. I hope that the up coming school term will be smooth sailing, filled with fun and laughter and be as meaningful and memorable as ever.
