Oh on...i've been eating too much heaty stuff and my sore-throat has turned into an evil pain in the throat.

I shall talk about yesterday.

The fun started during St John's. After opening parade, Tm and Sok Ee handled their new Sec1 cadets. Thus, all the sec4 were involved in introducing ourselves to them. I speaking in a "rushy" tone. Not sure why. I tend to feel as if someone is urging me to be faster or else there's no time left. Hmm...i'm suffering from psychological problems. I must be hearing things.

In the meantime, the Sec 2 and 3 were having their ALPHA first-aid test. So after everything was settled, everyone had their games. It was kind of a game cum serious business day for st john's and I like this way of running. It's lighted-hearted yet fun.

So the Sec 2 and 3 had this running whilst a passing-the-ball-to-one-another game while the Sec 1 had their own interactive games. Naturally, their squad commanders and PS (doing first-aid) are hooked up with them, leaving the admin and logistics department people to die of boredom.

YY suggested we play badminton behind the classroom blocks so most of the remaining trudged towards the area. it started off with Ruth, YY, Amanda and I playing a friendly match. (YY claimed so) However, as the game goes on, and as the non-playing people cheer for one another, it soon turned into a competitive match. So much for YY's comment on having a FRIENDLY one.

After more rounds of playing and more people getting involved, there were several HITTINGS here and there which was SUPER painful...hmm....

Salsa was fine. I'm still not used to Thumpers. Everyone is fighting for this one retangular piece of mirror on the pillar in the center of the dance floor to see if our moves were nice. I was a guy for the day since Dawn was the guy the previous week. There seems to be a more overwhelming number of guys than girls around. I don't know why.

The moves for the week was taught by Kyo and it was this spin and jerk, spin and jerk kind of feeling. Poors girls... however pitiful they are, the guys are suffering too. How I know, I was the girl-guy for the day right.

So I classified the girls into 4 major groups:

1) Finger-grabbing ~ these girls practically grab your fingers as you try to spin her. This is a dangerous move as the GUYS will lose their fingers in no time.

2) Finger-slipping ~ these girls somehow don't have their basic salsa tension and hook right. When I hold the hands for give it a tudge, they just slip off my hands. This worries me as I have to be responsible is they fall as I can't control them right.

3) Turtle-pace spinners ~ these girls can't seem to spin any faster. They have not mastered the art of spotting thus their head seems to be a second slower than their body while their spinning. This makes me slow down for them and we will be lagging behind the music.

4) Top-spinners ~ these girls have a good grip, good tension and spin fast enough for the music. The problem is that when I spin them, they will get go and spin super wildly. The bad thing is they go everywhere around the dancefloor and not along a straight line which they supposed to me. This scares me the most as i have to control them before they come crashing into another couple.

Well...I shall end this analysis here and bid you a Wee... ...
