just got back from NRA Dance Camp on sunday.
friday to sunday, 3 days 2 nights.
the camp was fun!
got to meet new friends, learn and know the history of different genres, know abit of how to put make up on although i didn't put make up myself for showcase, and many many more.
first day of camp was more of getting to know members from my sleeping group. played all the ice breaker games. there was also make up lesson too and not to forget the long lecture about different genres. everyone got splitted into their dance groups and i was in sonia's group, together with denyse, weng and lye huat! and our song was 'Summer Love'. and ann gave this challenge and asked each dance group to send 2 people, 1 to do make up and the other to be the model. sadly, i had to do make up in the end. i seriously sucked at it la!!! it's like the word 'make up' is so foreign to me, totally don't know how to use it. all i did was help put foundation only. luckily my group helped me alot, if not i will be so screwed.
and there was night walk too! i must say it was one of the most scariest night walks i ever walked, good thing everyone was paired. initially, denyse and i wanted to walk together and scare the scarers. but in front of us got a pair of girls very scared so no choice had to change partners. and my partner was so scared, she screamed every time a scarer tried to scare us. i didn't scream at all throughout the nightwalk, just stoned because my partner kept screaming. then got this one part when walking down the stairs at the humanities block, my partner suddenly screamed because she saw a scarer beside her and she ran down the stairs, dragging me along. tragic. denyse also another sad case, her partner grabbed her hand so hard until her nails sank into denyse's skin. ouch!
but i must say the nightwalk was good. the scarers were great, atmosphere was nice and scary. if i were to walk alone, i'd feel scared too.
day 2 was a very long day. started out the day with PT. felt tired after the run but it was a good run. my dance group then started on the choreo for our showcase straight after breakfast. the progress was slow because had to think of steps. had this workshop done by one of the alumni-s, it was fun but i couldn't catch up with the choreo. need to work alot on my isolations. and there was 'Bond Night' too...it was so fun! there was this part where we showcase some of our special talents. and i had to go up and put 2 legs behind my head. haha. there were many more 'zhai' talents can! and the seniors are like damn funny and entertaining. the best part of the night was...the DONUTS!!! it's those kind of donuts that are so damn nice, you got to queue up and wait for very long just to buy and eat them. after 'Bond Night', back to dance practise at studio 73. practised until damn tired and thirsty. practised until about 430am. i wanted to stay up later to just practise and work on the steps but sonia told us to rest, so no choice. all of us went to sleep while sonia, eve, weng, lye huat and jefferson discussed and think about the rest of the choreo. got to really thank them loads for everything. and the studio was like freezing cold, i was literally shivering like hell. thanks lye huat for lending me his sleeping bag.
day 3, woke up at like 730am...3 hours of sleep! my alarm couldn't wake me up at all and weng had to wake me up. walked all the way from studio 73 to my room like a walking zombie. washed up, had breakfast, bathed and then back to dance practise again. felt so much energetic after the bath. stress level started to rise, had to learn the a few 8s and also had to do full run in such a short time. weng was my partner for couple work, it's an honour to dance with her ok. rushed all the way to canteen 2 for lunch and after that was dressing up time. must really thank victoria for helping me with the make up and aloysius(i think it is spelt like this) for styling my hair until damn nice! it's like DOPE can! it's like everytime i try to make my hair, it always fail. sunday was my BEST HAIR DAY ever!
showcase was really good! every group did their best and all of them did very well! i was like so nervous, was so afraid that i would screw up. my group was the 4th group to perform. and i screwed up the behind part.
and i was really happy when my group won 'Best Dance Group' title. thanks to sonia, eve, weng, jefferson and lye huat for choreographing the steps, giving up so much and guiding all of us!!!
had photo-taking session and awards presentation too. and after that, break camp.
headed to KAP macs with denyse, jessica, lye huat, beesim, serene and nian shun. steph joined us after awhile. nuggets, fries and coke all tasted so good! not that the camp food sucked, although the food for day 1 was pathetic but still overall, the food was good and so much better than D'Fine!
anyway, i am very lazy to blog already. i am tired and aching all over.
