wat got me outta the silent thingy was this - a movie marathon! met L on mon n she said "2 movies call marathon?!" well... dats how low my standards r these dayz... 2 movies n yes it's a marathon... n not juz dat... it made me REALLY happy! i felt like i got out of a rut n can get on moving! =)22nd sat... 2 peeps i ve been trying to mit up wif asked me wat i was up to dat day... n i was free! yay! so after church meeting, i went down 2 orchard (in my sloppy 1999 FOC t-shirt, mismatching flip flops n specs. i felt terrible being seen in orchard in those but wat2do? confirmed meeting only after i left my house! ), grabbed dinner n caught INSIDE MAN wif Bu @ 7pm, went NYDC for dessert... dissected d movie (was so good to discuss abt a movie- plot, cinematography, intricacies woven in2 script, directing etc... cant really do dat wif some pp... verdict: we loved it! but juz cant understand d choice of song in the beginning n end of movie... bollywood?!?! so disjointed wif movie! other than dat.. it was a smart movie. cant stand brainless ones), talked abt fan fiction - she writes!!! - n (surprise surprise!) Dark Angel!! i din noe any1 who's watched d series much less loved it like she did! haha... so excited! n was inspired 2 draw Max sitting on d Space Needle! cant wait 4 d DVDs. din noe frivolous (d word bu used) talk was so rejuvenating! felt so so good!! talked till 11.15 then rushed back 2 tampines 2 catch TAKE THE LEAD @ 12.20am wif MZ... on the way back i could feel "me" coming back! yay!
4 d 1st time in her life she was early! man... 15 mins early! *applause*
take the lead was e typical sacrificial mentor -"u can do it", "i believe in u", underdog-steals-e-show... was reminded of how much i LUUURRFF dancing!!! i recalled saying "i miss dancing" countless times these past weeks!! then it hit me - i really DO miss dancing! ( i noe i noe, i'm slow...) friday evenings used 2 b 4 ballet... hmmm...
liked d movie all the way until the end where the competition was... then it felt like crap. diehard ballroom dancing fans really start dying hard here... man! e stuff they do... it's crap ballroom lah...! if i were e judge, i would ve thrown them out! creativity my foot! it was like orgy on the dance floor... totally degraded, defiled (!!) ballroom dancing! arrggghhh!!! irritated...! n the end everyone, even the judges, was doing "street"! man! crap!
there's a reason y ballroom dun mix wif street... juz like classical music dun mix wif funk! imagine jazz mixed with techno... jazz fans will flip! u lose the sophistication, u lose the structure, u lose the movement, u lose the grace!
reminds me of d gal in SO U THINK U CAN DANCE? she wore pointe shoes n did wat really were 'horse stance' n squats on pointe... n said her style was her own kind of ballet... too bad she wasnt sexy or anything. else they'd probably get her do movie sequel of TAKE THE LEAD --"GET THE POINTE?"
