dance dance. ; 01:11
you know you're seriously involved in a dance competition when:
1. you keep seeing the same people almost everyday for weeks on the end.
(aarthi, sha, bhavani, faisal, raz, jerry and jay)
2. you spend hours with them everyday doing the same things only to see them the next day to do those things all over again.
3. you see your dancers more often then you see your parents.
4. your mum keeps your photo in her wallet to remind herself of what you look like.
5. you are officially a visitor in your own home, henceforth known as Hotel "insert your home address here".
6. your new home is located either in a pondok in the midst of HDB flats or in a glass walled area.
7. you've heard the same song on repeat so many times you've lost count.
8. the same song haunts you day and night.
1. you no longer remember the original music video for that song.
2. you have difficulty falling asleep at night because you keep running through dance steps mentally.
3. you're awake at 3am on a public holiday sewing costumes. ditto the night before. and the night after.
4. you dream in colour; the colour of your dance costumes.
5. the lady who owns the textile shop in arab street is your new best friend.
6. you make promises to avoid alcohol at new year countdown parties. and you're not kidding.
7. injuries and illness are disasters comparable to the plague, a volcanic eruption and a tsunami combined.
8. directions and angles are a lot more important than they were in E math class.
1. you realise that dancing is not just dancing. it involves tailoring, carpentry and advertising as well.
2. you acquire new skills: hemming, overlocking, unpicking, painting, cutting, spraying and banner painting.
3. a member of your family takes up a new profession: tailoring.
4. your social life is planned around dance practices. two weeks notice preferred.
5. forget lunch and dinner dates. having a proper meal is a luxury.
6. your diet consists primarily of mars bars, snickers bars, instant noodles, coke and ice lemon tea.
7. you adopt a new method of time keeping.
"5 days to ..." or "15 hrs to ..."
8. you have trouble remembering what number comes after 8.
1. you have variations in the way you count to 8.
"1, 2, 3...." "1 and, 2 and, 3 and.." "and 1, and 2, and 3..." "1, 2, 3 and, 4..."
2. your bag now includes a stash of deep heat, knee guards, ankle guards and painkillers. just in case.
3. your new faves:
favourite channel = MTV
favourite website = youtube.com
favourite show = so you think you can dance
4. you aspire to be a perfect combination of Beyonce, J.Lo, Usher and Justin Timberlake.
5. you have dreams of your fellow dancers dancing minus their partners and doing miraculous air borne spins.
6. your last date with your significant other was at dance practice. so was the one before that. and the one before that. and... you get the drift.
7. not seeing your dance partner 3 days in a row is more upsetting than not seeing your significant other for the same time.
8. all your friends are now professional critics and videographers.
so now that all of you know what its like.
