Haven;t been blogging for a long while. my best excuse would be school and sloth. BUT then.....i owe today a special place on my blog. it's one of the things i want to jot down and remember, and be reminded of.

today/sunday, was the First ever Singapore Salsa Open, organised by Union Square and a few other organisations. it's from 7 to 3am but i reached there at 8pm, thinking i was missing something.... rushed there.... only rushed by walking, couldn't do much about the bus... but the bus wasmoving quite fast, it was a good sign, it just bodes well. and all the time i had this nagging feeling that i should not be so happy, cause being happy means that i expect the rest of the night to be happy, and expecting can disappoint a person, terribly.

yes, so i got there "early" the competition starts only at 10.30. and i met Eugene, and then Qingru....YAY! i was so happy that i didn't come to the party alone. now i have friends, and then Bernard appeared... made me very happy too, coz he's the only guy that can make me do double spins, triple spins and even quadraple spins. yes, and that is without feeling dizzy and falling sideways and all. so we went to the hawker centre to eat... at the esplanade. i had my happy BBQ chicken wings with lots of lime juice sprinkled on top. after that was SAlsa, salsa, salsa. at first, i did a bit of observing, check how good the other girls are... pick up some moves... see which guys were very good and those who were good, (good means, i can dance with them without feeling too pressured) then i danced with eugene. eugene is okay lah... he's on his way to master his basics, but can't do much variation yet. while dancing with eugene, i caught sight of this guy who passed me a sympathetic glance, one saying, i know you are better than this, it's just the guy. but too bad, he brought his girlfriend, i was contemplating whether to ask him to dance with me after this. asking guys to dance with me is a very rare thing that i don't usually do.... so the guys whom i ask to dance with me better oblige... for their own good....

the dance floor was quite big but it soon became very crowded, everybody coming from all the clubs and salsa hunts to DXO, everybody trying to fight to impress the others.

i enjoyed dancing with bernard, and the good thing is he can control the amount of space that we are dancing in. like if there are many people around, he can pull me nearer, and make me do smaller steps....the Other good things is, i never need to ask him to dance with me. haha =) so he enjoyes dancing with me too =)

and it was because i was dancing with such a good partner that this really charming guy noticed me, we were dancing sort of next to each other. and i guess he spotted me spinning quite a bit. and he's so cool, at first he wore a shirt, then when the night got later and he was sweaty, he took it off! and change into a sleeveless t-shirt, which made his muscles all the more atttractive. did i mention that he danced really well? whenever i'm not dancing, i'll look out for him, examine his moves and also the girl he's dancing with.... learn, so that, if he ever was goig to ask me to dance with him, i won't do too badly from the rest of the girls he has chosen to dance with. and i think, i've seen him in NUS before. Hope, hope.... that i can see him again.

basically that guy was the highlight of the whole night, but dancing with bernard contributed alot too. he bought me cosmopolitian, really good recommendation. and sent me "home". let me give you a lowdown on this fantastic guy.
1) HE'S A PROFFESSOR, PART-TIME, AT NUS.
2)he dances well, did all sorts of ballroom and latin dances before.
3) when he was doing his phd at cornell, he did bar-tending, and directing of dramas, that's so cool. keeping in mind he's doing some physics computer based research at biopolis.
4) he was our grand grand grand senior of USP, it was called talent development programme.
5) he's part of BINGO and he won a award from NUS for being one of the early successful entrepreneurs. i forgot what is it exactly.
6) he owns a Ipod Nano....!!!!!
(that last point is actually for aiwen to see)

yup yup, not to mention the fact that yanqing and jianliang won the salsa open competition. agnes must be so proud of jianliang. and they are all celebrating at Xenbar now... i should have joined them, i just realised i have NO classes tomorrow!!!

THIS IS JUST TO SHARE MY JOY TO EVERYONE WHO DIGS DANCE, OR JUST TALENTED GUYS.
