Haven't post something about dancing for a long time. Wheeee. Totally forgot about it.

I skipped my first ballet class and attended the later one because I wasn't feeling well. Excuse was my mother can't fetch me. But my teacher didn't ask and I don't care.

So I went in minutes earlier because I wanted to warm up and it's strange stretching while watching people dancing in the class I am supposed to be in. I feel kinda guilty ._.

My teacher was telling them to jump higher in a Pa de Chat position. And she called the boys to lift them up. Luckily I didn't attend that class :D



Then we had our Advanced 1 class but teacher decided to give us free work. That means teacher say what, we have to do what. According to what she says, some of the the works she gave us are Advanced 2 standard. Eks.

Barre was okay. I don't really remember anything about it. Except for an Adage exercise.

Adage : A french word meaning gently, or at ease. Adage is a series of slow, controlled exercises or movements performed to slow music. Means the works are slow and romantic. And you have to lift your legs high in the air D: My teacher owns in that section and loves to show off LOL.

The exercise she gave us requires a ponche. But we're used to it anyway. Ponche is this.

And then she complaint on how our Ponche sucked :P And she tortured us.


Centre work was fine. I guess. I forgot. LALALA.

There's another exercise that requires us to spin spin spin ~ Teacher even asked us to spin while holding our leg to the side : Boy's work. D:

But teacher requested something I never heard of.

Grand pile is almost like squatting, and then double turn immediately. Did teacher just made that up, or is there really something like that ._.

And to the corner! A travelling exercise. Yay, quite fun.

Sorry that I can't describe the exercise in words and also in drawing ._.

We also did a grand jete exercise which was hard for me. We have to grand jete and then twist and grand jete and twist and so on.

Left side was impossible for me. I keep stopping halfway and starting all over again. The sisters were awesome. Like nothing could beat them down. *admires*

That day was fun. I enjoyed it a lot. WHEE CAN WE DO THAT AGAIN NEXT WEEK? Nahh my teacher would never do that.

BALLET ISH LOVE.

Thoughts about HTTYD: The Hidden World

Image
On the first of February, I went to the cinema with my brother and a close friend of mine to watch How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. It's the third and last film for the almost decade-long series. If you didn't know or aren't my Twitter follower, I am a huge fan of HTTYD. I became so impatient when they wouldn't enter the theatre on time. I kept mentioning that I waited five years for this, and I didn't want to miss any second of it. We did miss a few seconds of the movie because I went to the bathroom. After the movie ended and the credits started to roll, I didn't really know how to feel about the movie. I told myself some time to gather my thoughts about the movie. I wrote my first draft while I was celebrating Chinese New Year in my hometown, but I had to stop myself to think about it again. I'm wondering if I should watch the movie again and think it through but I don't know when the movie will be available for streaming so I

The Handsome Side Of Biology.

Image
LOOKEY GRAY FULLBUSTER IS LOOKING AT ME < 3 --- I once gave that title (look at blog post title) to my tuition teacher who taught us Biology, but he doesn't know that. Mr Jay (not his real name) teaches Biology (duh) at ERA for I don't know how many years and among all the teachers, he's the youngest I think. I can say he's quite good looking and he has a great personality. I first saw him when I went to a seminar for PMR. I was sitting far away so I couldn't really see his face. I just remembered he made us laugh a lot and no doubt, he's good at what he's doing. He works at the hospital too. When I came into Form 4, I attended his class and yeah, I thought he was handsome. Lots of girls liked his looks and even Mr Ding, the owner of ERA said he is handsome. A couple of my friend went crazy over him. I got over it after a few weeks. HE'S A TEACHER COME ONNN. So anyway, yesterday was our last class, you could say. Mr Jay never came on

Ballet Grade 6

Image
Having my Grade 6 examination soon. Makes me go nervous AHHHH. Grade 6 isn't children grade anymore, it's a performance grade, where you seriously need facial expression, eye focus and blah blah blah. Just like what my teacher says. Everything need to be done, performance-y. I had two regrets during this grade. ONE. I choose PINK for my leotard instead of BLUE! I have always loved the colour pink. If it's possible, I would choose pink every time. But this time, I preferred blue much more than pink. The reason I wanted blue because I wanted to choose the Free Movement dance, so I thought. Maybe, if I choose blue, it will be more nicer than pink. And it looks more. MORE NICE LOL. When all of us were making final decisions, I heard the pianist said : "If you pick blue and dancing Free Movement, it will be like water flowing around. It will definitely look great. " Oh, that really, really brighten up my day x) But no, my own teacher took away my confidence >___>
