Dance dance dance~~~

It has been just a few months since I participated in my first dance competition and also 18 days since i participated in my second!! ^^

The first dance competition was really fun ^^ It was a lil competition among my classmates ( dance ) and I ^^

Bernard, Joy, David, Me , and Kenneth.

2 Reasons why we joined this mini thingy :~
i) To gain a new experience
ii) To entertain the guest at the Lion's Club Dinner Gathering ^^

Oh yes, this whole competition was purely latin. Just Cha Cha and Jive. ^^ Belman had make us practice over and over again... it was breathtaking and i mean really breathtaking as by the time we finished we were totally gasping for air... ^^ Before leaving for the place, a few of us had our make up on already ( one of em ) We got to the place and WOW!! The dance floor was really ' BIG '.... =.="... i mean it sarcastically... The people there were so stingy they did not want to on the air conditioner so we had to practice in that small area of floor in such heat!

People started coming in... very slowly so we all had to go back to the waiting room. We had touched up our make up and changed. Due to our item being one of the last few, we had to wait quite a while with NO DINNER!! foooooddddd~~~ sobx.... The guys got bored and started to play ' chi-ku-pak '... ( i don't know how to spell but pronounce it as u see it ) the loser was dared by the winner at the end of every round. It was really funny to see the guys doing funny funny things. Later on they started to play volleyball using their palms and a bottle i think. =.=".. wasting all their energy but they managed to warm up playing that funny game. ^^

Fast foward!! It was time to go compete!!!!!! Alot of them were sweating like crazy. I as per usual was slightly nervous yet excited ^^ hehe ^^ so on the floor we went!! Oh NOOOO!! Bernard and Natalie took our spot!!! NOOO!!! sigh~~ guess we have to move a little... was a lil worried that we might bang into them. But we did not!! ^^ The whole dance thing was like over in a split second!!!

We got back to the room all exhausted... now we started to worry bout the results but overall we were glad everything was over!! WHEEEEEEE!!

An hour later~~~~ * heart beating like really fast * The time is here... the time is now... We were called on stage!! I was a little nervous though i think it did not really show... ^^... however... when the MC pronounced my name wrongly i was so tempted to correct that person... GRRRRRRRRRRR!!! On my way up i kinda decided that i gained alot of experience here and i think that satisfied me more than enough ( i am pretty easy to please in a way )... ^^ They announced the 6th place... 5th place...4th place... and just by that i was overjoyed!! I did not think i would make the top 3!! XD i was seriously very very very happy i nearly cried but of course i did not... 3rd place.... by that time i was shivering... not because i was nervous but with excitement and satisfaction!! Wow!! I got 2nd placing!! I was really happy!!!



After being released from the stage some problem aroused but it was well taken care of ^^ I was very thankful and i thank God the most!! ^^ I prayed everyday that he would help me improve and that He would be my pillar of support and He was... ^^ i could feel His presence around me and i could imagine already, the wide smile on His face congratulating me ^^ I really wanted to cry tears of happiness ^^ but i decided not too =P... We had photo sessions and then the floors were open~~ We danced and danced and when it was time to go back everyone was dead tired by then ^^
