LEAH-CHAN @ 11:16 PM

Before anything, I would like to ask if you guys could tell me how to let the music play on its own? I don't know how to do that! hahaz! Help? Please? Thanks!

What a wacky week! Especially today and yesterday!

Okay, get this...I can't believe I actually WILLINGLY went for the Foreign Bodies audition. I mean, hello? Since when can I dance? I know, i know...you're gonna say "If you have legs and can walk, you can dance." Yeah right! My hand, eye and foot co-ordination is like...wtf?

Hahaz...anyway, when I went into the room, I felt so ugly! SO SO SO many people were there and those girls who were there were like skinny and pretty! The clothing they wore was suited for Foreign Bodies (to those who forgot, it's kinda like hip-hop)! What I wore was suited for exercise! hahaz...it was a last minute decision to go for the audition on Wednesday. Was supposed to go on Thursday but since I had time, I decided to go on Wednesday. And on that very same day, my friends and I planned to go to the gym (OMG, I'm willingly doing a lot of things I say I won't be doing).

Anyway, the gym was closed for some weird unknown reason. It's a sign, I tell ya. hahaz! Anyway, after practicing for two hours the choreography they taught us for the audition, they decided to call up a group of five to dance three times: one with a senior, one alone and the last one they switched places (the front to the back and the back to the front). I was so damn nervous i puked! >.< Ew i know! But i did it in the bathroom so it was all right.

When it was my turn, I screwed it up!!! I'm SO unhappy with the failure! It was because I was so damn nervous! Looking at the seniors make me nervous. So during the third chance, I looked up and did much better! ^.^

Yesterday when I got home, I decided to go online for the first time in Lord knows how many months...I usually hate going online because people bug me when I'm reading stories or doing my own stories (to those who actually interested in reading my stories, tell me! I'll send ya!). But Li Ying (my lovely friend) linked me to a conversation with Nora (who I think is just as cool as Li Ying!) and then to Eggy (who actually is Luntart/Egg Tart).

It was one of the best conversation I had! These people are crazy!

Anyway, the next day or later that day or whatever, I was still kinda high and was really happy the whole day (if ya ignore the people who irritated me to no end -- Li Ying, I think you know who right? hahaz!). Towards the end of the day, Li Ying and I hanged with Nora and some of the 08 people. They are damn cool! ^.^

Looking forward to hang with everyone more!

Ja ne,

Listening To: Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus

What an interesting week! NYP kinda rocks! (If you ignore the LARGE campus, which equals to long distances between classes, resulting in me getting lost and getting tired legs) Anyway, there was some sort of a CCA Day event on Wednesday which I thought was REALLY cool.

Brilliant me decided to join for whatever catches my eye. This includes, the Japanese Club (the anime and the cosplay was AWESOME!), the Ballroom Dance Club (you get to do social dances like salsa, tango, waltz, etc), StageArts (Dance, Drama, Makeup & Backstage sections -- I'm taking the Dance and Drama only) and Foreign Bodies (they do hip-hop, b-boy and all those kinda dance). I filled out a survey for the Campus Crusade for Christ and I guess they put me in.

On Thursday, there was an event called the Jam & Hop. It was awesome! It was kinda a clubbing scene. I decided to go with a couple of my classmates. All of us started dancing -- actually, the girls danced first and we dragged the boys in (only three came -- Eugene, Eric and C.K.). Eric and C.K. was kinda into it but not Eugene. *mimicks Eugene* "I don't know the songs so I can't dance to it!" *rolls eyes* But when "Sexyback" by Justin Timberlake came on, he was into it! :)

People formed some sort of a circle where any takers would come in the middle of the circle and danced. We pushed Hanisah into it. She did some awesome moves! (DUH, this is coming from the very same girl in the winning dance group featured in a magazine) We pushed Eugene in too (don't we love to sabotage him? hehe) but damn coward was so stubborn and he tried to grab me and the others in! In the end, he ran away. Hahaz! He then pushed Cui Hui (our Assistant Class Rep.) into the circle and SHE pulled ME in! With the others behind pushing me! It was SO embarrassing! The final person we pushed in was Eric. And boy, were we ever surprised! Eric is like the quiet guy in class. He started breakdancing! It was so COOL! Overall, we had a blast!

Anyway, for the Ballroom Dance, StageArts and Foreign Bodies, you gotta audition (DUH!). So today, I was SUPPOSED to go for two auditions -- the Ballroom Dance and the drama section in StageArts. Apparently, I only went in for the Ballroom Dance because it dragged and overlapped StageArts. So they told me I could go for the Wednesday audition instead.

For the Ballroom Dance audition, the seniors taught us how to dance the salsa. We were supposed to wear a plain shirt, a knee-length skirt and high heels. I was the only "larger-then-average" girl there! It was SO embarrassing! I felt so...I don't know...ugly? there. Anyway, they taught us some steps and they partnered us up with the seniors. Can you believe that out of about 60 people who auditioned, there were only TWO guys! That was kinda...sad.

But anyway, when they partnered us up with the seniors, I felt very VERY nervous. Know why? The seniors are EXPERTS (well, to me) and the seniors were also very pretty and handsome! *blush* I kept on looking at my feet for two reasons: 1) if I look at my partner, I would become even MORE nervous! and 2) I was so afraid that I would step on his feet. ^_^" hehe.

But I got the hang of it! I really hope I did well! I really REALLY wanna get in (this kinda explains the 'Take the Lead' background)! Everything was so awesome (if I don't count the fact that my feet STILL hurts like hell -- but you gotta get use to dancing in high heels)! Maybe I'll practice at home. ^_^ *sighs* pity...I have no partner (I don't think my brother would wanna help -- *scoffs* AS IF!)...Oh well!

Wanna know something? *leans in* My heart is still beating like crazy from the close contact dance! *blush* but it's all cool...I'm just overwhelmed because I don't usually do close contact with guys (and family members DON'T count) Hahaz!

Oh well, gotta scoot!
Ja ne!

I love music. It is my whole life. I can't survive with it.
I hope to be able to play the drums or guitar (electric) [that's once i have enough money to buy one].

I'm currently into Japanese music, and I love mixing their fashion with my own taste! ^_^

My new love is dancing, alongside singing, acting, writing romance fiction and creating fashion styles.
It allows me to express myself when I can't.
It relieves me from my stress.
Overall, I love dancing - I just need to get a confidence for it.

Hanging out with friends is another plus in my life. Friends, to me, equals to loyalty and honesty.
