shirt sticking to your skin

Once again, it is CHINGAY training at PA. Was really funny when i met Xiao Ying at Bugis MRT station for dinner when she turned up late. She was really ecstatic cos her dad just bought her a phone and she is a first time user. She was then babbling all the way until we had found ourselves a seat at Yoshinoya then she realised she had no money with her. So i paid for her dinner and dessert. That was so funny cos her facial expression was really dramatic.

Then we literally "window-shopped" cos i haven't had much money with me. It was plain agony cos i saw this bag i really liked yet had no funds to get it. Argh... Never mind.

Training was fun cos you dun really do much dancing tad makes you totally exhausted or dehdrated but the talking and mingling does. It was really fun cos we had 2 new participants joining us today and one of them is a Taiwanese! LOL!

Did a lot of running cos you have like 32 beats to get into position before you start to dance and i have to dash like mad since i am the marker for the entire row. Sheesh... It felt ok since i have been consistently running but my friends were all complaining that this is too much to bear since we had just taken our breaks and our stomach is filled with water. *chuckles* They are really a bunch of fun and dynamic peeps. Loveeeeee to be around them.

In case any of you guys are wondering if i have seen any suave alpha males, well i did. Some of them look really dashing and cool but hey, they are all in uni or some other tertiary institutions. Even though i prefer mature men, it is not that easy to grab some 25 year old guy and start striking up a conversation. Half the time they are just intent on gazing at their girlfriends. Bleahx... Very true... All the good and desirable men are all taken up yonks ago.

All right, i should stop sounding like a desperate predator on the prowl cos i AM NOT! Enough on men but back to the Chingay prac itself. The game we played was a whole lot of fun cos we had to make the longest line using our belongings that were on us. So many of us just detached wadever decent stuff and laid them on the ground, trying to make the LONGEST line. We won, of course, cos we had to U -turn twice to continue our line, with ppl lying down to add on to the length of course. It was a whole lot of fun as we were amidst the sweat, laughter and of course the stench of the socks and sneakers.

I took off my belt and walked awkwardly to my group members as i asked for shelter to do my belt. My pants were a tad too loose! Just then, this photographer had to come around with a digi cam recording the whole party. SHIT! My friends then stood in front of me as i pathetically tried to put on my belt due to my growing fear of being captured as "the girl fastening her belt while others were having a great time". ROFL... Jie ying, Jia min and Liting were laughing their heads off man. Argh.. i felt so embarrassed!

The training was really enriching and i got to put on my costume for the very first time! It felt like Lycra but it was very comfortable. Heh heh... 4th of Feb!

Gotta get some sleep. Must wake up early tomorrow cos got to get to the airport to send someone off. Hmm... That's all for my Chingay adventures folks!
