SHOCKING
Wednesday, July 2, 2008
Now, i have a confession to make...
If you know me well throughout the years... I have a secret talent that I have hidden from the world...
I danced...
I started doing it amateurly when I was 4 or 5 years old... I did a folk dance when I was in indonesia in celebration of an Indonesian holiday, hari kartini if i am not mistaken... That was the first time I danced...
Then throughout the years, I stopped dancing because I need to accomodate to the changes as I migrate to Singapore... Then when I was bigger... Primary 5 or 6... I danced again now with my crew, whom I suppose you should know... It was for a talent contest which we obviously lost, but I did not participate because I was ill. Then... I did not pursue dancing, and caught on singing...
Yes, I started singing, personally, then, and i sounded horrible, i guess from the response i received. And also i lost in a karaoke contest, you should know. But I did not stop... I continued singing, till today....
I sing in my bedroom, in the bathroom, in my closet, when everyone else is noisy I would be singing there. Then I auditioned for a singing contest, but failed to qualify because i lost the lyrics and was extremely nervous.... And I am telling you, I can sing!
Well, I started dancing again... 3 years ago, don't know when was it, but after watching a dance movie, I really liked the routines that was carried out and I really wanted to learn dancing.... Sometimes, I freestyle to the music that is playing in my library... Most of the time, when i am tired singing, i started to dance....
I do a lot of dance styles, in moderation and minimum... I am not an avid dancer because I do not possess the right skills... I danced simple steps of contemporary, ballroom, latin and hip hop... Watching dance related shows really helped a lot, I learned a lot about the steps to take, how the steps are accompanied by the music... I want to take up dancing lessons, but as you know I am a cheapo, and I don't like to spend money any ol how...
Yesterday, i spoke to my friend about my obsession, and my friend was also into the plan.... We had agreed to take up lessons after the O's... Just today, Deja Vu happened..
I flipped the newspaper, and there was a little note that says... DANCE VOLUNTEERS WANTED!!! It was to gather inexperienced dancers to join in a free dance clinic.... For FREE!!! I was so psyched and immediately texted my friend, hopefully my friend will reply and accompany me to this workshop... It's free... Just make sure that no one else I know will be there...
