KLFringefest + Carina's Surprise Partay

As part of my extended project, i got involved with Suhaili's semi-choreo-semi-improv piece called Sepatuku. Very interesting concept exploring women and the ups and downs of power, looking through the history and struggle women face and when the struggle has been broken past, the obsession that comes with too much of it.

Anyways. Ili sent me to the Saturday show at ASWARA. We were stuck at sungei buloh for 50 minutes because there was a match. The 12-laned to 3-laned road was jam-packed with cars with yellow flags hanging out of the windows.





Cute no?

Anyways. Ili fortunately kept cool because we were listening to the You've Got Mail soundtrack, which makes me wonder; what happened to a sincere hollywood romantic comedy? It's all about sex nowadays. Its so sad :[

The show was fun. Got a bit emotional. Got a bit teary. But yes thats all part of the learning process of dance and life and shiznits ^^


And the following Sunday, the girls and i met up at Ichiban-Ramen at IKANO power centre to surprise Carina.
Which failed. But whatever.

The karaoke that followed however, was on that should be noted in the books. X3


Illia and Sofia's excited journey to the Red Box.

all was fun!
Now. Things to do for the weekend;
1. Fix Ili's clothes and over-charge for the work
2. Make Carina's birthday present.
3. Make the ballet girls good luck presents.
4. Bake mummy a 'healthy' [lol wtv] birthday cake for saturday
5. Do some sort of homework
6. Find Carmen Jones, this movie that i fell upon searching up IMDB :]


YAY.

All good and fun ^^


PS.
I miss illa
my neighbour totoro

its been a while~

Hi kids, i told myself that i'd only update if i had pictures to help illustrate what im trying to say. So yes, the samsung camera is fixed and i can now waste my time more productively as i update this blog and spill all my hearts unnecessary desires :]

So i was in this contemporary dance show called JAMU where we performed Nerds Gone Nuts again. Such a fun piece. It was even more fun seeing Naim in pointe shoes [oh yes. his own] and using water in the spongebob scene. YAY.

this was when i was testing teh safety gear segment of the dance.
on mummy
:]



Year 12 is quite the challenge. I'm still not on top of my work but I think i'm getting there.
this is one of my design sheets *incomplete and incompetent* for DT;

and the phone was my substitute phone for the stupid samsung that had to get fixed.
BUT on the plus side, the samsung phone can now;
- Wake me up at 6.45am on weekdays to funky guitar tunes
- Play a cute lovey-dovey song when someone is calling
- Have the infamous 'BANANA' sms tone when someone loves me

and of course taking pictures.

Remember my adorkable kittens?
2 left.
Mako, the prettiest, got stolen. Idiotic neighbourhood with stingy neighbours.
Black, who doesnt like us, ran away? I dunno... He wasn't very close to us.

So now we're left with Kira, who is very cute but very naughty
and Patchi, who is very very obedient and loves me a lot.

Last night Patchi kept on walking into the house. I got annoyed. But he looked so cute, he sat with me as I did my maths homework.



i know.
how damn cute is that?


Anyways.
I shall finish off this post with a recently new set of Colourful Ballpoint Pens from JUSCO.
These things are quite rare to find you know...



They write really nicely too :]

Homework time. *yay*
2 Hours till buka time *yay*

what a waste.

So. School's about to start in 2 days.
woopee?
^^''

i can't wait, to be honest. But i feel extremely unsatisfied. See that list of 'SUMMERTHINGSTODOHUZZAH'? Yeah. I didn't do a lot of them.

T___T.

I don't know whether i should blame it on myself or anyone mummy driver but what has happened has happened, all we have to do is keep moving forward.

I thought i was going gang-rape my blog on my own. But that didn't work out because of the camera on my phone not being there by my side.
Because my phone doesn't work.
I dont know why.
I need to get it fixed.
Finding the right time.
WILL GET THERE JULIA DONT WORRY KTHNXBYE.

i hate bangi.

movies that you wonder why you haven't watched yet

i was about to embark on a journey to watching some 1998 reconstruction of a Sleeping Beauty ballet when suddenly i realised i have never watched it before...

SO.

I youtubed 'sleeping beauty' and i'm going to watch the movie.
For the first time in my life O__o

i also have never completely watched The Little Mermaid. I saw the second movie though o.o

How odd. I feel incomplete, and i called myself a classics disney fanatic *sighs*



care to join?


here's a picture too

just because i bothered to upload it onto my photobucket account after googling 'Sleeping Beauty'

oh dear. unoriginal pictures, i'm blogging like ky this is so bad.
i need to fix my samsung, or get a memory card for this memory-cardless camera given to me by anushea T__T.


OH WAIT. i have to find ky online and make him watch it with me so im not so alone.
and i have to do the chores, to make me feel like im not a complete useless daughter [i have been for the past week, using the dance as an excuse to get out of my chores. but no no no that is definately not the way to do it.]

ballet

Hmmm... So you know how female ballet dancers are ballerinas, i went off googling the male counterpart of that name.
Turns out that ballerina is the name for the 'principal female dancer of a company, the real male equivalent of "ballerina" is the "premier danseur", or the primary dancer in a company'
so... There isn't a male counterpart for that name... Which i shall now invent, and is now known as...

ballernado.

^__^ sweet.

ANYWAYS.
I'm blogging because i'm waiting for the youtube streaming to load, of what i hear you ask? The 1968 recording of the Swan Lake ballet. It's like a movie version of it. Yes, a ballet. It's pretty extreme, i notice how the primary female dancer (odette/odile) has absolutely nothing to do with the other female dancers, apart from the prince who is a remarkable image of barbie's boyfriend; ken
i also notice that the ballernados are extreme in the heights of their jumps, where they have to fit at least 2 twirls before they land. wows.

Ballernados lack in attention nowadays. SO i shall do my part and start googling famous ballernados. In which, in a few days, i shall report back with my findings.

Man their legs are made of like kryptonite @__@.


Another thing i've noticed about my habits, is my obsession with reading the 'Trivia' section on imdb where you see the behind-the-scene facts and figures of movies. I tend to almostalways do this after watching a movie. And if it has absolutely anything to do with real-life people or events, i switch over to wikipedia to read about it, and actually finish reading everything about it.
Like today, I read the long summary of Giacomo Casanova's life (after watching Casanova with the scrumptious heath ledger) which had extremely different story aspects. The movie served a more emphasis on his role as the king of seduction and getting into ladies' panties and of course finding love with the ultimate hotness independant female writer publishing works under a man's name *Sienna Miller<3* ending with an awful but entertaining reuniting-with-family-and-suddenly-running-away-from-government-with-them-and-with-lover-and-family scene.
Casanova's real life was completely different, yes he was a womanizer, but gambled alot, was exiled from Venice for 18 years, tried to enforce the lottery idea in several countries, escaped from prison, travelled quite a lot *mostly europe* where he was kicked out not after long and basically suffered some disease from too much sex (i think its too early in the timeline to claim it was HIV)
The only reason why we know about this dude is because he was stuck being a librarian for the last few years of his life where he wrote a memoir saying I am writing My Life to laugh at myself, and I am succeeding. [oh yeah, thats a quote] so if he didn't write about his life, we wouldn't use his name as a reference to a womanizer.

From movies, i also read about Anastasia's life and the Tsar family, Marie Antoinette, the Dutchess *forgot her name already, the movie just pinpointed to one of her many affairs*

hmmm... it always has to do with that side of the timeline.

Well, it shows movies aren't completely useless, i have profound knowledge of people in history! so shove it and move along and let me enjoy my movies~

I watched Freedom Writers last night. Cried me eyes out.
Urgh.

w00. streaming finished loading.

Nerds Gone Nuts

Hmmm... Highlights of last week;

1. Shredding paper for 2 hours by hand
what a joy that was, it let to some temporary insanity, but thankfully no papercuts.

2. Major bonding times with Arif's PSP.
if you wanna play a game for hours without realising the time passing by, its Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge ^___^

3. Performing at SHORT+SWEET ASLDKNAWOI DAW
we even won some awards~

Suhaili *the mastermind choreographer* won best Female Dancer for Shades of the Moon and best Choreography *YEAH*

Naim, the little man made of hardcore stainless STEEL *he can do pretty much everything x___X* who won Best Male Dancer.
If you saw the performance, you'd see why it was so obvious that he'd get it

and for best Overall Performance...
Who else but Nerds Gone Nuts?


Top Row (Left to Right);
Fadzli, Naim, Amellia and Suhaili
Bottom Row;
Kristen, Me, May Jean, Janice and Mark Yong

OH YEAH.
^___^

it was a lot of fun, from the messing around in the changing room, listening to the amusing commentary from the intercom, and of course, to actually perform in KLPac and with a group of brilliant dancers.

One thing i got annoyed with was my right suspender, which kept on coming off. It really... REALLY pissed me off.
Like, big time.
@___@

i feel so empty now.
i wanna do latin dance.
anyone wanna sponsor me?
.___. let's move to subang jaya, i'm so drawn to their studio...

Mummy's comment:
