Rain. Musings.

Torrents of pelters.
Warded by shelters.
Obscured view by hazy mist.
Musings. The Gist.

Getting a break from the office is not exactly something I'd refuse but with a recent drive and interest in the project I'm involved in I'd say I wonder about what is goin on inside the office without me around to assist in the technical enquiries. The Office had allocated a technical specialist just before I left last Wednesday because my reservist started yesterday which was on a thursday. I just hope the tech guy can answer the relevant questions because not all of them are just purely technical in nature nor is it purely general enquiries in nature. I mean, if you're based in Singapore and someone asks you,"So what are the current upmarket brands of Computers that I can compare with in Malaysia with regards to your desktop?

Damn. This ain't fair, man.

The Reservist exercise didn't start yesterday as there were some system server problems [or so I heard] and so we ended up being able to book out relatively early in fact [ard 7plus pm close to 8pm] and my first instinct was to actually wave for a cab and fly down straight to NYP to train with SA people. It didn't matter to me that I had only 20 bucks left in my wallet and I might not have enough to eat later. It didn't matter that I might be already stiff and tired from waiting around all day for proper instructions in the Reservist Unit. It also didn't matter that I haven't had my dinner because of the long debriefing. And finally it didn't matter that my family didn't know I booked out of camp early. It just mattered that there's new chereo to be learnt and I wanted to learn it fast, learn it well and perform it.

Am I detecting a slight sense of obsession here?

The results are showing for my built being toned and my overall physique slimming down. Even the sleeveless quicksilver T-shirt that I didn't dare to wear for so long fitted me nicely when I donned it in front of my mirror this morning after my shower. Funny thing is I didn't get too concious about specifically trying to slim down. All I did was to catch up on sleep and eat fruits during lunch hours. One reason is because I would go straight to dance after work then practise till late hours [usually 10:30pm latest 11pm] then head straight home excluding the light supper because of the need to supress hunger pangs. And abadacabra, I lost weight! close to 5kg within weeks. The effects did feel good though for my pull-ups improved [perhaps due to less weight being required to lift LOL] and I do feel a slight improvement in speed. Not so sluggish as compared to months back.

As the showers of rain increased in strength outside my window, my thoughts flitted unconciously back to the announcements for yesterday in SA. There'd be two teams being sent for DanceWorks in Mar next year - One team will carry the name of Chroma X [sigh, how I wish I was able to join] and the other is unconfirmed. Peter will concentrate on Chroma X while I will assist him in drilling the other team. Hmmm, maybe it is time to show the juniors how serious I take dance. Of course I'm not sure yet on how to drill them as detailed as how Peter would for Chroma X but.. I will find my way. I want them to improve and feel the same way as I do for competitions. Especially the ferocity of competitiveness for such inter-school events.

The Music's made for us to move
Not just the definition of groove
There's nothing really much to prove
Akin to what attitude makes one seem aloof

Of Latin, Waltz, Hiphop, Jazz and Contemporary
So transient. So fusion. So temporary.
A goal is needed but alas not rewarded
A pierce of pain and very disappointed

Passion is what drives one to improve
But a goal is what makes one realise if there is improvement
A new goal is needed
And close advice to be heeded

Pick up the pieces and continue to strive
Stage Presence should be the next target
For events are just like auditions
simply to prove your value in the market

Yes Sir, its time to strengthen my body's flow and my whacking. Not to mention my hands and leg coordination when handling different styles.
