61-16=45

im at my cousin (xian hui's) house right now... we're all going for dinner at pan pacific (the jap resturant) later. (: ok. i shall start from yesterday... no more summer school!! ): but of course its not as if it can go on indefinitely... it was definitely an experience i wont forget. haha! im so proud of myself!! i didnt forget any steps (: (: but anyway, ive been thinking, maybe i should just forget about trying to take intermediate this year (or ever) anymore. cuz looking at where i am, and looking at where so many others are, i know im not gonna make it. & its only 4 months from now!! which means that, no. im definietly not gonna be able to pass it. & taking it next year is not an option. so i guess i'll just have to wait and see what happens in the future.

i really learnt a lot during this week. i learnt:
1)always treat your attitudes with TLC! ie. turn-out, lift & cross.
2)weight is always towards your toes (the supporting foot), not on your heels
3)ALWAYS pivot on the balls of your foot, not the heel
4)legs, arms and EYE LINE have to go together
5)glissade is a SMALL prepartory step after which big jumps follow. & the most important thing is to remember to plie at the end.
6)double frappe etc etc etc.
7)the only way to improve is to keep dancing!! (:

today i had a super yummy lunch at my grandma's house, as usual. my oldest aunt is not so old, she's just my age, but the other way around. meaning er, 61. haha. but she's probably not what u'll expect. she walks really really fast, & having since retired has been trekking to all corners of the globe. she's flying off! and she's going to switzerland, then london, ireland, scotland & back to london again. she's gonna be gone a whole month!!! im so jealous! haha. & ive given her my food shopping list... (:

oops. gotta go now. more on my aunt & today later (:
