Tiredness and illness got the better of me yesterday so i only managed to blog today. I was rather early in school yesterday morning and nobody was in school yet so i kill time away at the library watching dvd. I had a hard time choosing between 2 old shows, 'Signs' and 'Shall we dance'. I choosed the latter and what a show it turns out to be, not only it was nice and humourous but more importantly it rekindle an old ambition of mine - dance.
Speaking further of the show, despite being an old show dated back to late 2004 it was inspiring and humourous. The dance movements were eye-catching as well not to mention J'Lopez in those skin tight dance outfits! There was this particular ridiculous and yet humourous conversation that made me laugh and wonder at the same time.
Chic: I'm here for the ladies, you know what they say about guys that can dance...
Bobbie: Yeah, that they're great in bed.
Chic: Right.
Bobbie: Where do you hear this crap?
Chic: Everywhere, everywhere the guys that can dance get the pick of the litter.
Richard Gere joining the dance school was making people laugh their asses off considering his age but he went a long way to show that age is nothing provided one has the determination and passion.
Anyway i still find this extremely touching and inspiring :
"We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'."
I had lots of ambitions when i was young and one of my first ambitions were to be a footballer, a dancer or an artist - in this order. Naturally and needless to say my parents were typical like the majority of Singaporean parents, wanting me to become a doctor or a lawyer, well those kind of decent and good paying jobs u know? I had other ideas though, i still regret not making it as a footballer when i was young, it was something i had alot of passion for and u know what they say about jobs? U find a job that u love and u would simply not get sick or tired of going to work everyday or even the thoughts of it.
Next comes dancing, the thought of taking up dancing as a hobby or profession crossed my mind several times in the past but that was like almost 9 or 10 years ago. I love a type of dance where i can express myself freely, dancing to my body's moods or rhythm. Its called Tango, although another dance known as 'Rumba' come close as well. I always felt dancing would allow me to freely express myself, dancing like nobody's watching its extremely releaxing. The only reason why i din't follow up my ambition was i din't have time as studies was extremely important back then. Plus i din't know where to get more information of Tango dance courses as well and things like that.
Tango is also known as the dance of love, originated in Argentina. A Tango dancer must develop a strong connection with the music, the dance and the audience . The audience can only feel this connection if the dancer himself/herself feels and projects this feeling. Another dance i love is Waltz which i find simply elegant, like dancing on clouds without a worry in this world.
Who knows in future i might just take up a dance course or something just for leisure. Ballroom dancing is simply different from dancing in discos or clubs. In those places people simply let their hair down to relax and dance to whatever they wish but ballroom dancing requires more passion and feelings. Its intimating and sensual at times as well. Some dance to entertain, some to show off, and others to fill their rice bowls but for me i dance to feelings and passion.
I feel like living in some winter countries even though i've never even visited one before. The weather these days is making me go bonkers, i can wake up in the middle of the night coughing and shivering with cold. Missed school today as a result of oversleeping and feeling ill. Can it snow instead of rain? Damn!
