TPJC MODERN DANCE
GOLD WITH HONOURS

what?ohmygod!!$&^^&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#$%&^%^thisisliketotallyinsanelycoolandunbelievableaSDDFsdffds!!!!

AAAAHHH!!!

so all those blue blacks, busted knee, 4/5days practice a week, neck cracks, scary jumps and lagging h.w DID pay off..

Theme: modern contemporary
thought? omg what the shit
feelings? i dont even know how to do ballet!
experience? excruciating pain while stretching and immense fun while dancing.
conclusion? i LOVE dancing
even better one? i LOVE tpjc modern dancers

dance title? shades of light.

we had to wear these funny liitle victorian era looking white skirts.. and superwoman type body suits.. ouch to the max.

the final dance was great.. i felt so good while dancing.. its an amazin feeling.. i love the stage and seems like the judges loved us! hahahahahahahahahaahhahaahha

well i was expectin max gold.. so with honours was a big HUH! but also a WOOOHOOOO

the very first thing i saw when we let down our skirts was... waah..there is an angmoh judge!

heard ppl laughed when we danced... but guess what suckers??? we got G w H..! soooo buzz off and laugh at somethings thats laughable k???? like a joke maybe. maybe the joke is... tpjc got gold with honours.. but hey, high time u realised... we can kick anyones butt

whats even more shockin is that.. only a small majority from our dance group is ballet trained.. compared to other JCs that have people comin to their JC through DSA modern dance.. haha get the point?

but i loved VJC's and SAJC's dance. i likes RJ's concept and MJ's sharp movements and HCI's ladder and circus like stunt which totally fetched them a gold with honours

all in all,
7 JCs - gold with honours
5 Jcs- gold
6 Jcs- Silver

wow. no regrets.

kelvin and his ever powerful capability to sleep...in front of my socks

in the bus with amelia! thanks for missing part of ur hockey training..

this is a DECLARATION to MEiling and Samantha for their constant support and we would not have done it without you!! wow i do sound convincing

well...

oh look who we caught again.. Sleeping! HAHA..

=) thankyou TPJC modern dancers for makin this experience true and worthwhile.

Sean and Zhu lao shi for training us

Ms young and ms lim for ur enthusiasm and support and time

Jacq and Jas for ur leadership

Rahman and Kelvin for the guy;s company and hang out at the corner when we were being ignored. =) and also for the busted knee (special thanks to kelvin) and the lift.

thanks kelvin for duet that everyone liked.

p.s the guys had to wear like these ultimately short shorts that were white and tight LOL. and were bare chested.. lucky no chest hair LOL and also had to carry themselves proudly and 'gayly' with skirts.. hehe

HOW TO RECOGNIZE INDIANS
(apart from the colour ofcourse - but colours also vary)
comment is green.

2. You try and reuse gift wrappers, gift boxes, and of course aluminum foil

3. You are Always standing next to the two largest size suitcases at the Airport

4. You arrive one or two hours late to a party - and think it's normal
we follow IST - indian stretchable time. originally known as indian standard time

5. You peel the stamps off letters that the Postal Service missed to stamp

6. You recycle Wedding Gifts , Birthday Gifts and Anniversary Gifts

7. You name your children in rhythms (example, Sita & Gita, >>Ram &

and then at the car door. and then from the car window.

11. You load up the family car with as many people as possible
utilisation of resources available

12. You use plastic to cover anything new in your house whether it's the remote control, VCR, carpet or new couch

13. Your parents tell you not to care what your friends think, but they won't let you
do certain things because of what the other "Uncles and Aunties" will think
HAHAHA apt summary of indian parents

14. You buy and display crockery, which is never used , as it is for special occasions, which never happen

15. You have a vinyl tablecloth on your kitchen table

16. You use grocery bags to hold garbage
AGAIN, full utilisation of resources available. moreover, plastic is bad. so, re-use.

17. You keep leftover food in your fridge in as many numbers of bowls as possible

18. Your kitchen shelf is full of jars, varieties of bowls and plastic utensils (got free with purchase of other stuff )
huh? sure or not?

19. You carry a stash of your own food whenever you travel (and travel means any car ride longer than 15 minutes).

20. You own a rice cooker or a pressure cooker.
...yeah coz many people eat rice?

21. You fight over who pays the dinner bill.

22. You live with your parents and you are 40 years old. ( And they prefer it that way).

23. You don't use measuring cups when cooking
awesome chefs already

24. You never learnt how to stand in a queue
whats a queue???

25. You can only travel if there are 5 persons at least to see you off or receive you whether you are traveling by bus, train or plane.

26. If she is NOT your daughter, you always take interest in knowing whose daughter has run with whose son and feel proud to spread it at the velocity of more than the speed of light.

27. You only make long distance calls after 11 p.m.
coz its cheaper? everyone exploits this fact!

28. If you don't live at home, when your parents call, they ask if you've eaten, even if it's midnight.

29. You call an older person you never met before Uncle or Aunty."

30. When your parents meet strangers and talk for a few minutes, you discover you're talking to a distant cousin.

31. Your parents don't realize phone connections to foreign countries have improved in the last two decades, and still scream at the top of their lungs when making foreign calls.

sorry, is this supposed to be a trait of an indian? oops, i blogged abt it.

LAUGH *toot* funnyyyy

key:
___ = censored fuck/fuckin

I laughed like I have not laughed in a LOOONG time.. TILL I cried. like really my eyes were watering.
ITs true when ppl say laughter can really make or spoil your day... I also realised why this year had been so down n low in spirtis. I had not been laughing much in TPJC. but now I kno what to do, who to be with and just let it out and have fun n not care whether others find it funny or not..coz GUESS WHAT? I find it FUNNYYY...

Female sick bay is seriously my second home.

Yesterday, before CCA time started, outside sick bay
me: eh yanling u were sleepin in the sick bay?
YL: yaaah.. sick bay is like my second home already..
me:yahh! agreed.

skipped p.e (coz i srsly wasnt feeling well) and went to the sick bay with meiling. got interrupted by the fire drill.. almost decided to just continue sleeping and say we didnt hear the fire drill. but then, i duno what hpnd.

THEN cindy gets annoying.

THEN after school, went to sick bay AGAIN with amelia and meiling. sleepin was farrr.. we could not stop laughin.. and takin crappy pics. before we knew it, it was 1 already! wooohooo` can leave school.

THEN went to BK with mei.. ate until i was bloated..BK is filling but not tasty. TASTY>

MEiling got 5 dollars worth of ice cream! waaaat.

then we had this interesting convo about how ____ good/bad everything is. or watevr ____ wherever ____ could be used. which was ____ funny. and i ____ enjoyed myself.

made me think how the F word has become an extension of everyday vocabulary. its like Hi Bye or Wassup? or food. or fish.. wats wrong w it?

we really felt the need to make the word silent. good girls. sigh =)

Drama skills put to use.. fooled meiling on the way to schoool ! hhehe HHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEH she was sooo scared. her reaction was pricelessss! right, Mei??

maths lecture was for once USEFUL! omg. it was funny and useful.. i understood regressions and watevr. HAHA. mr chao is soo funny. he was speakin into the mike for 1/2 hr and it wasnt even on. so he jus held it in his hand.. for half an HOUR and it was switched off. A05 was so amused. !! easily amuseD??

and then meiling came up with this interesting drawing.

Soh can impersonate miss swan really well. she can get u horny with her OOOOhh.

And so, I am the laziest bum on this planet.

its 1.32 am. I have YET to finish typing out my econs essay (which btw i have done but needs typing out) which I owe Ms Yap since school re opened after March Hols. oh dear, this is not gooood. WHATS WRONG?? I am in J2.. and this aint good.

and then I skipped dance today even though SYF is on 25th April because my stupid lenses are screwing my eyes. and its geek attack when i wear my glasses. ok ill just have to tahan wearing my lenses. SEE, blame Globalisation.
J1 was perfect. it was a GREAT year. and completely opposite to it is J2. its screwing up in every aspect possible. but its useful in the sense that it is now you realise who really are your friends and who you should treasure. J1 was socialising year. J2 is focus on studies and TRUE frnds (which btw TPJC lacks).

I dont know why I am writing this coz I dont whine in my blog. but OH, there are larger ideals brought about like - the theme of friendship and realization.
and I just realised another thing- i will be bathing 3 times and washing my hair 3 times in ONE DAY!!! oh my god. hair losssss! once in the morning before going to school. then after P.e. then after dance! AAAAH. u know what that means? the number of times ill be making changes of things. ~~%^#$%%^%^

And I seriously have to get my pocket money increased. I m broke to the max. so all those ppl who owe me money, PAY UP! so i made a deal with my parents (thanks to my bro who at last is using his knowledge for practical purposes) that if i go to school myself in the morning for 20 days and prove myself, my pocket money will increase considerably. but with the new amount, i need to pay my phone bill and do all my shopping.. which is OK! woohoo coz my bill is controlled and shopping will reduce as As come closer! HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAH

and BEST part! i have been going to school myself. its rather ok. but scary coz i m scared ill be late! i m already up for CWO ( issue of late coming, not whining)

messaged poo meiling yday from tanah merah mrt.
me: are u at tanah?
she: no. why?
me: oh coz i am takin a bus from tanah to school now. is it too late?
she: yes.
me: thats encouraging.

no reply.

yeah. but i was on time. then had a talk with fatimah on haircuts and how i have totally been a nuthead and screwed up my hair.

jus something i came across. found this in Rim;s hindi book or smthn. read the 'Romans' quote. Eh, non-hindi ppl can also enjoy it.

TPJC SONGFEST 2007

TPJC Audi
5th april 2007
lesson learnt? TPJC is actually quite happening!
So yesterday was TPJC songfest. It was truly amazing and FUN! omg its awesome to be a part of TPJC coz there is always smthn happening. n its happenin'. not boring. but smthn actually interesting.

next month we have TPJC runway- last yr it was a HIT!
after june hols, in july, we have TPJC dancefest- which will DUHHH be a hit coz i m in the dance club! ehehehe.
and the best part? the tickets are well priced - not ex at all! jus 4 bucks! compared to other JCs where they charge a bomb! and for 4 bucks, what one experiences is GREAT!
and this is what hpnd-

met nicole, amelia and mei at tanah merah and went together to school. and reached late so cudnt get good seats.!! and this guy had 'reserved' like a million seats for his frnds! whataloser.

and then it started. for solo category, farhan commenced the evening. he was quite charming w his looks. too bad, nic, hes J1. and then thr was conan. again too bad hes J1. and then the highlight of the night, ASRI! was mind blowing!

ofcourse, he won the solo category.

and then for band, Russell of Blossom received much hearty support. n The Cheekens were original but i dunno WHY they WON! rusty should have won. john n min were great.! they sang chasing cars.

Pic:Rusty- Min and John

BUT BUT BUT, HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA the bestest bestest part of the night was STELLASTORY! guest performance. the lead singer was indian, a punk indian. with looong frizzy hair. and a hairband. but his voice was gooooood! n evreything abt the band was simply superb! they did a bon jovi medley. but didnt sing its my life. what kinda BON JOVI med is tt? but still they got the audi screamin for more. ENCORE.

Pic (above): Stellastory

n oh his name was 'nipple'? or well thats what we heard. wata nick name. errr. cute? ehhh
and his pants were too low n undies were unglam. too shiny.

puneet and khirti were there too. they make sucha cute couple! awww - certified by a lot of ppl!

and then, there was fatin. former TPJC songfest winner. she sang two songs- one by mariah carey and the other one by beyonce. woooow! her notes were perfect and her voice, beautiful! i got goosebumps when she sang...

and then jothi was my date for the night!

went out later w mei n mimi to bedok food corner n took 'productive' pictures.

(might upload those pics later)

got scolded by mum n dad. BLAH! what an ending to a perfect night!

overall.. I've regained my trust in TPJC.

Ok, so Poo Meiling tagged me with the 'Say 6 things, weird things'

so these are the rules,

This is what you are supposed to cut and paste if you decide to participate in the tagging game. Each player of this game starts off by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog.

6 things weird, weird things. about me ( i m weird, so how should i go about doing this.?)

1. I always thought and still do that I am not the 'real' radhika. as in, literally, physically. i rmb (ofcourse wrongly but stillllll) that I (the REAL one) got lost in the mkt when i was 6 and my mum found another radhi (ME, now- typin this) aft she was done shopping near the car - so the REAL radhika (named tina) is still lost... probably begging on the roads of india. pray for her.

2. I always end up having a crush on a guy who i never, i mean NEVER ever thought i will EVER like. and those crushes last for like forever! and then I realise the guy is a bitch and I STILL continue crushin on him. which is weird. and which is why this point no.2 is here.

3. I once read Harry potter in the loo for 5 hours straight. ofcourse i wasnt S hitting for the 5 hrs, but yeah i jus sat there.

4. I used to make fun of girls who carried handbags (those girly ones) and went inside girly shops when i was in sec3&4! and laughed till my tummy started to hurt..

5. I hate eating ice cream alone. I feel eating ice cream is a special thing and there should be special company with me.

6. At times i wish i had cancer so that I could 'fight' it and be an example to the people around me..an example of courage and love for life. and then before I die, I'd write letters to ppl who matter ( i actually thought who already!).

OH OH OH OHHH! can i write 7??? ofc ourse i can, its my blog.

7. Craziest thing ever - I wouldnt mind my jc getting hijacked by terrorists and then a grp of frnds and me would help to save the school... and then get an award for bravery after taking a bullet in the arm. wooooow.

6 people!
