Ballet Shoes

I just finished watching Ballet Shoes on youtube. Starring Emma Watson, Lucy Boynton and Yasmin Paige. It's a very uplifting movie. I liked it :)

I saw the movie picture on Siti's blog and I had to watch it :)

Coincidence

Around 10am, I was on the internet. Came across the news of Yasmin Ahmad's passing.

Her passing on is a real loss to Malaysia. One of the rare talents we see today has returned home, may she rest in peace.

It's a coincidence how she passed on exactly a month after Michael Jackson. He on the 25th of June. She on the 25th of July. I don't usually preach these things, but after hearing about the news on Yasmin Ahmad, it just hit me.

Anyway. RIP Yasmin Ahmad, you are loved by so many.

Hello, ice cream man

I've been watching America from West Side Story again and again since last night. Can't get enough of it :) The accent is so cute and the choreography is so ... well just as cute as the accent. We're doing this number for Aunty Farah's class. The choreography is da BOMB. But there's no counting O.o so it's like .. aiiyooo. But class is still a lot of fun :)

I would be at WDA practicing (or in other words sit down, listen to latin american music and watch OTHER people dance). But since the studio is closed, after piano I came home, had a good dinner and here I am :) Although I really shouldn't be here. I really REALLY should be studying.

ANYWAY :)

Next week will be my last guitar class with Chilly ): Booo. I like guitar class. And Chilly is cool :D He'd say, "Okay good." even though I know I did terribly terribly bad. We started Why Georgia (sp?) by John Mayer. ITS TOUGH. lol, after class, I was in a smaller room practicing till I swear my fingers were about to bleed ): Theeen, one of the other teachers slides the sliding door open, and says, "sing me a Michael Jackson song". So I was like, "Uh, okay." I sang black or white. lol he was smiling and he was like, "eh eh, michael jackson! :D wah."

We worked on my exam pieces during piano class. I'll be taking my practical exam next year, but I guess its never too early to be prepared. Besides, I like the pieces. So, no complaints.

After piano class, we were waiting at a traffic light in the car, and an ice cream man stops on our left. Sean was like, "heyyyy Ice cream man.". So I turned to my right, and the big blue container with that contains the goodie-ness of ice-cream was smack right in front of my face. So, rhetorically, I was like, "Mummy maybe we could buy some ice cream right now, right here." and to top it off, I was making pretty huge gestures, like pointing to the ice cream box and making the money gesture where you rub your forefinger and your thumb together.

Anyway.

What I didn't realize was that the ice cream man saw everything. And I think he understood, too. So when I looked at him, he was smiling and like, laughed a little.

Bright red. bright red.

And I never saw that ice cream man, again :)

Sabotage

The performance went okay. Although I messed up the guitar chords towards the end ): 

I had to cut my medley by 2 songs. But I guess it was for the better, 6 songs would've been too much not to mention boring. Congrats to Sheera for winning SAGT :) YAYYY!! Kai and Mel, you guys are awesome and not to mention amazing singers :) No worries, you'll knock 'em dead with your next performance.

Physics tuition was all about Pascal's principle, car brakes, and sabotaging cars. At least Mr. Yeoh's teaching ways kept me awake. I swear I was so tired after Hari Koko at school, I could've slept through an earthquake, tornado and the loudest storm you'll probably ever hear all at once. Had dinner at a Nyonya restaurant. I never get why they turn the air conditioning to full blast. The place could've pass off for the north pole.

I've major cleaning up to do. ):

And uh. YEAH !  :D 

17 Again

I juuuussst finished the movie. 
I liked it :) I am proud to announce, I've officially fallen into the whole Zac Efron pit(?). He's adorable ! :) The movie was funny, and juuussst nice. There ain't no other way to explain. It was a good movie, I enjoyed it, and I'd definitely would want to watch it again sometime.
Me and the family planning to watch Ice Age 3 this Saturday after Latin. Daddy won't be around ): boo. And then this Sunday it might be Harry Potter 6 with Trishi and Lat. I want to go with the DTB peeps (cheyyh) too but they're planning for a saturday/friday outing. 
Anywho!
Guitar lesson was fun. I learned Bubbly by Colbie Callait. I think it was more for the plucking technique rather the fun of the song. Chilly ( guitar teacher ) was writing the chords down, and I was practicing on my guitar, and I hear, "Okay .. verrrryyy simple." I look up at the manuscript book, 
....
Chhhh yeah sure. Verryyyy simple.
But I enjoyed the class.
Mosquito's are on a mission to suck out whats left in me. I think I'll shower and then practice for this friday's performance. I just remembered theres a rehearsal tomorrow and I'm nowhere near ready. 
Nowhere.

<3>

Apple-head!!

Heh yeaah. :D

I cut my hair again! :D :D It's like an apple now. - again.

Could you imagine me a red head? 

PRS Gathering

I think it went well. I little glitches with the mike situation, but I think it went fairly well. 

A big big big thank you to the BB PRS-es. Without their efforts the gathering wouldn't have been half what it was today. Special thanks to all the facilitators who put up with the madness I put them through. Nima, Rianne, Suki, Hayatul Aina, Wono, Maryam F, Megat, Ashraf x3 (:D haha. yeah there were 3 ashraf's. Arif, Afendi, and just Ashraf), Ernie, Kamelia Nisha. You guys did great. Salute to Maryam :) Her station was pretty messy (i meant how the game goes and with all the little little props she had to handle) but she did a great job. 

Dimitrii!! :D hahah. 

There's dance class tomorrow. YAY!! :D

I went to daddy's high school this evening. Yeah. Daddy and his friends had a gathering at their old high school. There was an inter-school rugby game happening at the school and it was pretty interesting to watch. One particular team was practicing not that far a distance from our tent. They would stand in lines, run, pass the ball, and out of the corner of my eye I see one of them fall to the ground. His other teammates surrounded him, I thought to see if he was okay, but they took the ball and continued their practice O.o

And then it happened again. They ran, pass the ball, and one boy would fall down. I'd gasp every time a boy fell, but my mom and dad were just .. chill O.o

Soon I realized they were falling down on purpose.

Mummy : They're practicing falling down.

Oh .. 

I didn't quite understand the game. So my dad explained a little.

Daddy : Okay. There's 2 types of rugby. American, and british rugby. What we're watching is British rugby.

Mae : Whats the difference?

Daddy : American rugby, they're rough-ians. As for british rugby, they're rough-ians .... but gentlemen. 

Mae : O.o *in my head* yeah, mmhmm. Totally understand. *not in my head* how do they .. umm .. be gentlemen?

Daddy : Pass the ball behind.

Mae : lol. oh.

Get off your butt, woman.

I really need to get up and get going. 

I feel the energy running through me people, I just need to overcome my laziness and put that energy to use. 

PRS Gathering is in about 4 hours. I was up all night just making sure everything was ready. I went through the games over and over and over again. I want tomorrow to run smoothly. I would say I'd be a little relieved once the gathering is over. I really need time to study for the August tests.

There would be no latin dance lessons tomorrow. ): Almost the whole school went to Surabaya, Indonesia for a competition. I wish them good luck :) I know they'll do extraordinarily and probably bring home a duffle-bag-full of medals :) chyyeehh. 

I MISS DEBATING ): I've participated only once, and that was against DJ (and that was pretty scary too. :] DJ debaters pawn, man). I was a nervous ship wreck before the debate, but I loved it soo much :) It's fun. Sure, I'm no expert, and I didn't spend years and years watching/participating debates but I still loved it. 

Wall-E

Wall-E is on Disney. Has to be one of the cutest animations ever. Wall-E and Eeeeva are popping those bubble wraps.. and now they're doing 'Sunday Clothes'.

): sigh.

I just got back from the NATD Medalist competition. I'm dead tired. 

***

I wish I were good at something. ): Like, actually really good at something. I want that feeling of assurance that I can do something. I wish I could dance like Yulia Zagoruychenko or sing like Charice Pempengco or talk like Pat Webs (or something like that. She's an Australian debater) or feel like Michael Jackson or cook like Chef Goustou (sp?) or decorate like Nate (from Oprah) or draw like Michael Angelo ... 

): When am I ever gonna find that one thing

):

I don't know why I bother.
