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.

This is a mental note to Grace:
your forte has always been chemistry, work harder for it, you're getting there.... anyway you still have to work hard for the bio stuff like pharmaco and patho because you'll need to use these knowledge in future. Remember, exams are coming, you can screw your India paper if you have no time.

In an attempt to justify the money I spent on the black eyed peas concert, I must blog about them to further make a memory of it.
To start off, you see the roads to the indoor stadium slowly lighting up by the headlights of taxis. Then you see a sea of people holding cups of Tiger beer, Heineken and Jack Daniels queueing up to move into the stadium. After that you enter this cycle of drinking, queueing for toilets and peeing, while waiting for the concert to start.
There was also a beat-box competition, which this 15-year-old boy won due to his wittiness and successful incorporation of monkey noises into his routine. It was, after all, a monkey business world tour concert.
the long wait for the concert to start paid off when Fergie finally appeared, with the rest of the band, and showed us her butt shaking skills. It was,undoubtedly, better than what I can remember from Beyonce. They started with Hey Mama, and after that the crowd basically went crazy screaming and dancing. The Peas really made the concert interactive and proved their stuff. Me thinkst Fergie can sing in the stadium, without a microphone. Her voice is SO powerful!!
It was the second concert i've attended in my life and I feel one black eyed peas concert is enough for a decade of living, not a lifetime. I can do with some destiny's child...

Patience:
I've always received hints that i'm a rather impatient person. Like when i'm in a rush, I say "excuse me" in a very callous way, as if i've said it a few times and my plea hasn't been heard. But from my point of view, i'm in a rush! For goodness sake, I would really appreciate if I can save whatever time I have, the last thing I need would be you blocking my path on a crowded road because you are chatting on the phone. Then if I whisper "excuse me" I dun think you'll hear. So to save all my whispering effort, I just say it, in a more audible volume. Then I come across as rude..... But hey, who was the one who bothered to say excuse me instead of pushing my way through? Who was the one strolling on a busy road?
Yesterday, my mom had a function to attend, so I had to take care of dinner. So I took the chance to prepare a western meal for my siblings. I had only 45mins to drive to the shopping centre, park, buy, pay, drive back...so naturally I wanted everything to be done as fast as possible right?
As I was going at fast speed down the rows, a group of kids were playing catching at the intersection. I told them to excuse me, then their mom came over in a strict tone saying, you must be patient with them, they are children. Then I thought, i'm one too! And more importantly, i'm in a rush so I was short of telling the woman to bring her children to play catching at the PLAYGROUND!!!
Subsequently, many things happened according to murphy's law. Things like, the supermarket ran out of lettuce, the driver in the car in front of me was talking on the phone, thus his car was stridling 2 lanes, including the right most lane.. Then we were taken over by a Kancil, the smallest Proton car, which implicitly means its very slow. Then the driver suddenly opened his door, while driving, to tighten his door. At the junction, we had to wait for an old lady to drive cross before we could go (gap between her and next car not enough for 2 cars to cross simultaneously). Of course all this happened while the clovk was ticking away.

While studying for Pharmacology last week, i thought:
Exams were meant to indicate how much students have learnt. People usually translate this to the ability of the student to understand/memorise concepts. However, it is also a parameter for a teacher's ability to impart knowledge. In university, the administration thinks that exams measure a student's interest and, more relevantly, their ability to take notes in class. Of course, one can argue that what the lecturer fail to impart, the student can make up by diligent reading. but basically i think all uni students can do with one month of intensive dictation training before coming to uni. i need it.
empirical results show that my hypothesis is correct.
my hypothesis is: results are dependent on the students ability to take notes in class.
the results: CAP scores of my pharmacy class vary by cliches. assuming that a certain cliche all share the same notes they have taken down in class and notes are not transferred between cliches, then, my hypothesis is true.
