liberated! am now plonked heavily in the com seat again. back from ballet exam. from 1205 to 130. hmm...only thing im not happy with is tt i didnt get my doubles. whilst the rest did. hmmpf. so pissed. i am resolved to show them perfect doubles on my next exam! and i have two years from now to work on it. hahaha. watch me!
arrived at 11. and waited for ms ong till about 1140. i was close tof reaking out cos my hair was still not done. alas she came! hmm..put foundation over my bruise. but it was still so obvious. i hope i get sympathy marks for that heheh! looking like some abuse kid in there. would've been able to pull it off better if i looked like a p.o.w. and talking about tt, there was this girl who had her exam at 225. her bones were sticking out. now was it a girl i saw or a skeleton? anyhow, it was freaky. i could see each bone piece of her spine.and her hip bones were jutting out.and her shoulders were boney(duh!)
the other girls were good. or at least up to standard and fairly strong and steady. cept for one who seemed to have her arms a lil loosely placed. the first girl was like chen hsia. really reminded me of her. plus she wore a blue leotard and chen hsia always wears blue too.hmm..and i paired up with vinitha.the girl jac was telling us about previously. talk about coincidence and accuracy and maybe..fate? gah. but i dont believe in that. argh. stupid doubles. maybe it was cos i was in e 'second set'. after watching tt chen hsia girl(coco) and lydia i was kinda freaked out cos they could do it. hmm..feel as if im kinda infringing on their privacy by splashing their names out on my blog. but i mean well and have no evil intentions so i guess it should be fine:) and theyre all so smart..hmm..all e top schs..and me? jjc:D like..erghhh. hah. i shant fall into e trap and say what sch's their from if not im just making e infringeing thing worst.
free work was do-able. i think i did it ok and well. at least it felt that way..cept tt i forgot the changement at e end. so those who know ballet, it goes like this right foot derriere,sissone over in one count, sissone devant in another count. then releve up , arms to fourth, glissades derriere,then assemble over and changement. so you end up with left foot derriere now. then you do it all over again 4 times.
sometimes i wonder...what it really means when they ask"did u dance it?" to me, it means smile...hmm..so i always say yes, cos i did smile! and yup it did 'come from the heart' so yes. i did dance :)
during barre section, my legs were already tired and pain. it seemed that they kept dying out on me for the second side. but he missed alot. such as assemble surttenu and foutte and frappe foutte which i dont like! so yay! then started to perspire like mad.
when we came to centre we started with 2nd port de bra on both sides. kena stand behind. so it was abit distracting cos i can see the other girls. we did temps lie, second arabesque en avant, and attitude in opposition en arriere. battement tendu A. then we did grand battement. and e other girls lowered their leg very quickly..hmm.then we went into pirouettes. doubles...gah. dont talk about it. :( I WILL GET IT WHEN I ENTER FOR ADVANCED 1. oh well at least my singles were good. BUT WHO cares about singles when they wanna see doubles..argh! its over. i dont care anymore. i think i really need to lose weight for the sake of my turns and my ankles.so i was like..blah blah blah. then came adage. we did developpe B. and he said it "lets do developped on ouvert, arms to third arabesque" wahh..so style! -.- we were e first set for adage. which i think was gd, so i wont get kpo and see the first two and get freaked again.was grinning like an asshole on demi grand rond de jambe. then came foutte of adage. i shant say. i'll just kid and sae i didnt wobble. and he didnt give echappe saute on criox. and for that im grateful.gave jete ordinaire.pad de bas glisse en arierre.then echappe saute battu feme.then he gave brisses. and missed e cuts.good. then grand jete. i feel gd about that. cos the rest looked funny. i weirdly felt as if i(e big lump) was flying! just hope it looked like tt.full contetone was done 2 by 2. feel gd about tt too. tried to feel like garnell when i did it. hah obviously not size wise. but feeling wise(: for pointe we did rises, echappe releve, releve devant and derierre.skipped releve passe and did pose de cote.then jump to coupe foutte racourse. did temp lie for centre, then echappe releve.pae de bouree pique, and then courus!!! and then it was OVER.
hahaha. and then i wonder if i did my best. i guess i did. and even if i didnt, i did dance my best. look, theres a diff btw working your best and dancing your best. i guess dancing in the academic sense is smoking, to make urself look abit better and make up for the dearth in effort. hahaa.i did dance. i did :D see. i smiled!
so that's the whole exam for you. and its over! never gonna do those again. i wont look back.
my smile was the widest for reverance. ;)
i came home and ate indomee. -yawn- now im sleepy. shall go stretch a lil and then zonk out. add a lil chocs to replenish energy.
as of today, we're 16 days away from promos. no more excuses or distractions. but frankly, i'd rather do my exams again. AND THEN get the DOUBLES right.
ok. and this shall close all my rants. then exam is over. goodnight!
