on my way

05 December 2007

I've been chilling with Xsass and Daphne and Kaeting lately. It's great fun with them. No tension. All fun. We went to watch b-boying baboons on Monday. It was cool! Love you guys (girls actually). Dang that sounds effeminate.

Today, I had lunch with my momma. It kind of made me think for a while. Where do I want to go? Am I on the right track? Which way am I headed now? Will everything be alright in, say, three years' time? Somehow, I have the assurance that it will. It's kind of like a sort of inner peace. The future is still open. Uncertain, but open. The journey will be easier if I look on the bright side, right?

Finally got myself some new kicks and a new bag. My Airwalk bag's zippers are seriously messed up. Yes, zippers, plural. I'm so relieved to have a bag that has some degree of quality now. I went down to the Esplanade in the evening for a session with Michael, Kevin, Matthew and Jeffrey. I was early though, so I went to the library to read stuff... about dance, of course. Which was apt, considering the library stocked mostly books on the arts. I read this collection of interviews of the greatest dancers in the past century. No hip hop dancers of course, but their words can apply to all aspects of dance, and the interview with Edward Villeva impressed on my mind.

As for the session. Well, I sorted out my Sneak Peek and Stop & Go with Michael's help (no, not Michael Sim). As you all know, I love putting Stop & Goes into my freestyling... and now you're gonna get even more Stop & Goes! Maybe it's an indication I should delve into Boogaloo. Michael also gave me some nice tips on box splits.

And thanks to B-boy Greg, I am SO HAPPY that I fixed some major problems with my swipes. And SO HAPPY that I'm starting to get one-handed lunar eclipses, although it's still far from stable. I'm beginning to get the feel of windmills too. It sounds like a lot, but I actually still have a long way to go. Practised the chaine-sashay-jump across the floor routine too... hope all goes well tomorrow.
