Dance is starting to get taxing, now that Footnotes(formerly known as Regale, a.k.a. VJ Dance Concert) is 2-3 weeks away. There're rehearsals every single day, and they last for 3-4 hours each day. It's really a mad rush because choreographers(like me and the rest of the out-of-brain-juice people) are busy churning out steps at lightning speed, and the dancers are occupied with absorbing all the steps from different dances. It's chaos man.
Anyway, the stupid cough's got worse today, and I feel absolutely terrible. I would have not pulled myself out of bed if not for dance rehearsal today. Got to learn choreo for the vetting tomorrow.. haiz.
Oh yea, yesterday Phoe and I went down to Stage Image to confirm the ballet costume design. Well technically she met me there. So, she didn't have to suffer getting lost. From Bugis mrt station, I walked towards Golden Landmark Hotel (not bad eh..still on track), then I called Mdm Tan(owner of stage image). "just walk down..all the way down" she said. I asked if it was Arab street, she said:"yea yea, just walk down". ok so I started on my expedition in search of Stage Image in black clothes (absorbs heat quickly!) and HIGH HEELS.
I walked up AND down Arab street and still couldn't find it! Stopped to ask some guy if he knew where Stage Image was..."oh oh yea..you can try down there" and pointed down the road..
I was like...WTH I just came from that side you goondu brain! Called Stage Image, and mdm tan told me it's along NORTH BRIDGE ROAD. OHHH AMMM GEEEE...
all right, so I found it, sat down to look through all the her material samples, picked out some chiffon, stretchy material etc. Phoe came, and we decided on the design.. SO if there're any ballet item dancers reading this, your costume's
BLUE. haha. LOL. you'll have to do some manual work though...SEW SEQUINS MUAHAHA. LOL.
Well, anyway, I shall return to copying Electromagnetism notes from Liu Ying..no people, I didn't skip my lecture..I missed it while in B-e-a-u-tiful Barcelona hahahahah. okok ciao..
OH I FORGOT TO ADD: VJC DANCE ENSEMBLE GOT 2 AWARDS FOR THE BARCELONA DANCE AWARDS!

2) Best Performance in Theatre (Ciudad de Tordera Special Award)
i know you mean well, but it's just very difficult to comply, especially when you always put things in such a harsh way.
