Realize-Colbie Caillet

Take time to realize
That your warmth is what i want

But I can't spell it out for you
No, it's never gonna be that simple

If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
and will never find another
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now

Take time to realize that
This all can pass you by

It's not always the same
no, it's never the same
if you don't feel it too

We missed out on each other now...

Realized it finally...
Yet,is too late...

芭蕾第六级在上个月的考试后,也告了一段落了...

我想继续学下去
但是我却只会呆在古晋到今年年底
在吉隆坡继续学的话也会遇到一些问题
如要去哪间舞蹈学院,交通,学费,习舞时间表等等...

我还是如往常一样
一星期三次芭蕾课
老师也开始进入 pre-major ballet syllabus
我还买了 Demi-pointe shoes,RM135
有点贵...但很喜欢!

很希望有一天我可以有自己的粉红 ballet Tutu呢!
穿着自己的 Ballet Tutu,拍有芭蕾艺术美感的照片或海报会是怎么样的感觉...?
在自己的房间挂上自己的芭蕾海报型照片应该很棒吧!
连晚上睡觉都会做芭蕾天鹅美梦...太棒了!!
(在做白日梦当中...)

有梦想的人是美的,我确信...
但不知到白日梦算不算...

第一次用华语,感觉还不错哦!

Celebrating Bday

Today is my best buddy ---> Rou Xiang's birthday.

We supposed to meet at my house at 5:30PM, but the Bday girl was late. She finally reached my house at 6:30PM. We went to Jalan Simpang Tiga,99 Fashion. Yeah, Patty and I decided to buy her a set of clothes as present for this year. Rou Xiang was shy to choose the clothes, so I walked around and took 4-5 clothes and forced her to the fitting room. Finally, we bought a pair of black stocking, a clothes woth black & white strip, and a elastic belt with a big ribbon. We required Bday girl to wear this set and later on, we went to the Scotland,located just beside the 4mile Everise.

We reached the Scotland at 7:30PM, were waiting for another 2 guys to come. Finally, they shows up, at 8Pm. We ordered nice food and drink (Scotland don't have much choice of drinks although). We chit chatting and enjoying our food. After dinner, we had a chocolate cake as our dessert. Hmm... I'm dont really like to eat chocolate cake,it is too sweet for me.

We left there at about 9:15Pm. We had a nice night tonight...

Happy Birthday ya Rou Xiang

Ballet Exam Result---Honors

Went to ballet class like usual,yet today was a bit different. Yes,it is. Today i got my CSTD Ballet Examination result......
I got honors

I have two kind of thought after i got the result

Think negatively:
I aimed for honors plus actually
I know my weakness
My stamina is insufficient at the solo dance part
Lost mark in that section
I should train my stamina earlier
I shouldn't give up when i was in Form1
I shouldn't give up no matter what

Think positively:
I've tried my best
And this is my first time taking ballet exam (i used to took part in Chinese Traditional Dance exam)
I have given up dance for 5 years long
I do not wan to compare with others
I compete with myself

hmm...i should thinking positively

17 of us took part,few of us fail and few of us gonna quit after this, my partner-Pei Ling also gonna quit too... feel sad when i heard it...

I've decided to continue the pre-major ballet class, unfortunately, i can only joining them until the end of this year. I wanted to continue my ballet when i go KL next year,hope that i can find a good dance academy school there.



Got the result like this,this is what so called "doctor handwriting". Din expect that ballet examiner also do this writing. haha. I can only read few words like "well done,good presentation, very carefully done, good performance, good try, becarful with the technique, be careful not to move the body alignment..."

The examiner is Merilyn Fishers, from Australia
note:CDST ballet syllabus is from Australia

CSTD Ballet Examination

Event: CSTD Ballet Examination
Time: 4:30-5:15Pm
Date: 16/7/2009 (Thursday)
Venue: The Dance Academy (Kuching)

I went there at 2PM for my final last practice. This is my first time taking Ballet Exam as i used to sit for the Chinese Dance Examination since childhood. I skipped Ballet grade 1-5 actually. But i try my best to cope with them, who do ballet since they are young. I'm going to continue my ballet pre-major class, yeah,i aim to be the ballet performer. During the exam, the participants go into the exam hall as a pair. I pair with Pei Ling, we are the last group for today. The examination making scheme is divided into barre, center work I, center work II and dance. here are the syllubus:

CSTD Grade 6 Barre Work:
1-Rhythm Warm-Up
2-Plie Exercise
3-Battements Tendus (to stretch), Battements Glisses (to brush) and Grands Battements (to kick)
4-Ronds de Jambes (circular movement) a Terre (on the floor)
5-Petits Battements (small and sharp movement) and Battments Frappes (striking movement)
6-Developpe Exercise (unfolding movement)
7-Releve (Bounching movement) Exercise for Demi-pointe
8-Beaten (beating of the legs) Exercise at Barre
9-Exercise for head, shoulders and upper body placement

Center work I:
1-Port de Bras (movement of the arms)
2-Battements Tendus with temps lie (transfer of weight)
3-Pirouette exercise (turning on one leg)
4-Adage study 1
5-Adage study 2
(Adage-slow movement)

Center work II:
1-Allegro study1
2-Allegro study 2
3-Allegro study 3
(Allegro-fast movement)

Dance:
1-Free movement
2-Classical Ballet Dance-solo
3-National Dance-solo (i choose Mongolian dance at this section)
4-Curtsey

The barre work i did as well as usually in the class, should be no problems. The center work I, the pirouette i didn't do well, the first 2 turns is nice-looking but the other two turns i did lousily...i should sleep early last night. Piroutte sometime is depend on the semi-circular canal located inside human ears, this small little cute organ helps in body balancing.(go far from ballet already...haha). Hope the examiner likes my dance presentation. Allegro is the most energy-expensive part. First allegro i used too much energy,so i was lack of energy for the second and third allegro. I think i didn't scold well in the allegro part...sad,sad. My stamina is poor that cant stand for three allegro exercises. Last part, dance, the key point for candidate to win mark at this part is, imagine yourself is performing on the stage, not in front of the examiner. I, didn't dance as freely as usual, a bit nervous i guess. this is my first time...

Right now,i still continue my pre-major class at KCH, hope that i can find a dance school in KL who teach CSTD ballet syllubus, (RAD syllubus also accepted). i have no time to regret my past but keep practicing and dancing... Oh,feel sad that my partner,pei ling gonna give up ballet after grade 6. Anyway,result out next week. See if i have the chance to post the Australian examinar and my partner,hehe
