Came back from Genting on Friday afternoon. The trip was fine I must say as it was not as intensive as i expected it to be. There were only 2 workshops besides and competition and friendly dance concert. These 2 workshops are of a great difference: A wonderful contemporary lesson by Dance Horizon Singapore versus a dull one and a half hour of one of Malaysia's cultural dance. Time really passes slow though both were of equal duration.

Day 1:





Half of the day was to get to our destination. The trip was erm...stimulating. haha...cause the moment I reached Genting, I had to use the washroom. I shall not elaborate more...We had dinner after checking into our rooms. One word to describe the hotel is "spartan" minus the television which did not work that well. There were no brochures or toiletries provided.

Dinner and lunch were about the same I realise for over the 5 days. They were just rice, noodles, desserts etc. Breakfast was much better with crunchy CoCo Crunch and Honey Stars for me to eat. :P

Day 2 -Judging Day:
We got to rehearse for exactly 15 minutes on the stage that we will soon be competing in in the late afternoon. It was rather screwed. The girls were super tensed up and there were parts we were out of beat or not synchronised. Blah...3 hours were allocated for us to do our make-up and hair-do. Didnt like the whole look though with those uber pink cheeks, red lips and hair tied to the far left with a pink star pinned on.





I must say we were not in top form for the judging. Didnt know when or how did I become a nun, before we went on stage, I was chanting to the other girls to obey the 2 Ss: Slow and Smile.

Day 3:
A much light hearted day after for the stress gone from the previous day.
Morning started off with the gym followed by the sauna and steam room. It was my first time. haha..and i behaved like someone trapped in a fire. I wet a cloth provided and wrapped around my face. Like what one will do when you are trapped in such a blaze. haha...
Afterwards, there were workshops and friendly dance concert. Our make-up was pink and sliver AGAIN. This time we had on thick black eye liners instead of those irritating eye lashes that makes me tear.
After the concert, the girls were really high. I'm not sure why. We started taking pictures. If you look below, there is one really crazy shot. I really dont know what were they inspired by, they had on their hooded jackets and held one leg up. ha...








Day 4:
We will know our results at night so we had a fine time bowling, shopping, eating and walking. Bought several items at half price and nice anklets and earrings.
Finally, it was evening and got to know our results.

SILVER...
(I'm quite disappointed though... I think our dance practices are really too short and little. Shall have to work on this problem.)

Anyway, we got and ice-cream treat from our teacher. I got coffee and it was really bitter coffee. I guess I was feeling quite irritated by the results and had to get something to numb it.

Late at night was really happening though. Majority of us gathered in a room to watch ghost show on television. At the same time they played uno. I didnt join the game as i find the game boring. Oh well... Ha...but there were sure lots of screaming as the girls half covered their eyes and peeked to watch the grusome nurse popping here and there.

Day 5:
We had early breakfast and set for home....



It was an eye-opener for me as I got to see the different abilities of the other schools and they standards. Our school really have to buck up and learn to handle the stress at such times to attain higher results. I learnt quite abit, like the background of traditional and contemp dances.

Wee...
