My first SEAJAM. It’s so much more than those Swing Flings that have inspired me. It’s way more. Mattias and Hanna, Ben and Carla. And Lindy Hop all day. It’s been superb, and I’ll say even that’s an understatement. I just hope I don’t forget what I’ve learnt, and that I’ll apply them. It’s been great meeting people from different places, making friends.
It was quite tiring. I remember being very dazed at the end of each day, but the lessons one after another were still very fulfilling in a way.
And I’m truly inspired. Kind of puts a jumpy, want-to-get-movin’ kinda feeling in me. Haha. The oomphs and aahs in Lindy Hop. Just Yeah! Haha. And I feel like I want to try to keep improving. Just keep going.
Definitely the best Lindy experience so far.
And better, I wasn’t alone, in the sense of godly company. I’m thankful God provided Serene and me for each other.

Fast Lindy, Styling, West Coast Swing, Jazz steps, Savoy stuff, Frankie’s Favourites, Kick *beep* moves (read: ass), 1920s partner charlestons, Charlestons Variations. AH it was so fun!!! More, more!
On the other hand, recess week hasn't been much of a recess week. been running around. Camp ended on Sunday night, then I didn't dance for a day. And then dance practices started on Tuesday all the way to Friday, yesterday. Even on Monday when I didn't dance, I went to school for a meeting. How much have I studied? Only one chapter of Virology, when there's a test coming Tues. Today's 'rest' day at home, tomorrow I've gotta be back in school 12noon for rehearsal. AHH!
There's SO many things to do, SO many problems to solve.

Which reminds me that I wanted to gripe about something, and I still want to.
It's basically about people griping about stuff, stuff that I'm partly in charge of. I mean, you're not the only person who's busy, who has quiz next week, who has not had a recess week per se, who has been dancing almost everyday, who hasn't studied, who's tired. HELLO? me too? And perhaps at least 15 other people, if not a few thousand. If you're really unhappy, drop out of it la! What would you have me do? Cut practices and then we can go give a fecal-like performance? sheesh. You're at least 20 years old, able to think for yourself. If you agreed to doing something, you jolly well commit to it, and take your own initiative to find joy doing it. If we had a few extra months, I'd have let you gripe a little. But we have a few weeks left, this is no time to sulk. It's time to get off your butts and practice til perfect!
Point is, don't think so highly of yourself, and think that you're the only poor soul in the whole world who's going through a tough time. We ALL are. Sorry for dashing your dreams of being that poor lost, tired, hungry puppy which everyone just wanna comfort and hug and all. Ugh, pisses me off!

Ok on the other hand, Joint Dance Concert: Going Around the World. @ SCGS auditorium. 24th March 2007, 7.30pm. Tickets priced at $12 each. Free seating.
