Long short weekend

Thursday : Dinner, then swing fling, then Harry's, then supper.
Friday : Dress up as Jap schoolboy, watch Swing Girlzu, lindy bomb cinema, Harry's
Saturday : Bal-swing, Performance Lindy, Work, Harry's.
Sunday : Day off, Gym.

Is it any wonder that my body feels like it's been pummeled by a thousand sumo wrestlers right now? That said, this is one of the best weekends i've had in Singapore in a while. Haven't stayed up this late this often since college. which was 5 years ago at this point.

Swing Girlzu was ultra-fun! Imagine 15 girls and guys all dressed up as Japanese students, all dancing in the cinema at the end to Sing Sing Sing. And the New Paper even showed up! Who says Singaporeans aren't sponteneous. And the movie was a delightful combination of cheese, camp and Japanese humour.

Performance Lindy class was fun too. I was apprehensive at first ; part of the reason i didn't go for performance lindy the first time was because of my knees and also because i was afraid of not being able to do the aerials/moves. That said, I took to heart what someone said... it is not the cost of doing something, it is sometimes the opportunity cost of NOT doing something that is important. Why let an irrational fear stop us from trying something out? That's of course different from doing something reckless... :) That said, it was interesting trying to figure out how to work my muscles to do things like backward rolls and handstands. Personally, I found the aerial preps easier than the rolls and stands :P. So, the whole point of that convoluted set of sentences was that while I am still somewhat sucky at performance lindy, class was enjoyable. Gives me additional impetus to go the gym, that's for sure. We'll see where and how this goes.

Told Arie and L about H last night on MSN. Their reaction was really cool and touching. Am glad that I got to share this part of my life with them.


Anyway, back to work tomorrow! Time to be serious again :)
