my momma is the best!

ok.. i'd like to think that im not one of those people that love you more only when i get presents..

but anywhos...

when driving me to work this morning (yes.. she still does that religiously!! its a nostalgic feeling zipping down adam road with her listening to FM 95.8 and me half asleep! its nanyang-days all over again.. ) oh! ya ok. sooooo this morning, i casually mentioned that i cant wear my salsa heels for lindy and my bloch dance sneakers are pretty old!! so i tasked her to ask around if anyone is ordering online so i can 'tong pang'! casually mentioned that good ole black is good but i like her baby blue ones as well.. serious! i just mentioned!

and she called me just before lunch, after doing the legwork (pun intended..) to say that:

1) her friends are placing order online so we'll get a pair of black sonata ones (apparantly better for slim feet)

AND

2) her teacher has her baby-blue bloch pair in their studio and she was on-route to pick it up!! it's in my size, i get a discount cos its the last pair AND guess what color its in!!!





only trade-off.. is that i have to be awesome in lindy..

so mom, your'e the schweeeetest!! and i promise, will put both shoes in good use!

(and it slowly morphs into a dance-related post...all i needed was a lead-in..)

haha.. well, i certainlly have to work on lindy then! cos so far three classes later, im still bunny hopping around like a rabbit.. completely uncool!

and me and daniel figured out how we can incorporate salsa moves (hammerlocks, turns, crossbodyleads..) into the basic step so instead of brushing up on the basics, we pretty much have been foolin' around with the fancy stuff! *roll eyes* haiyar.. how to improve like that!

which leads me to this!! (haha... its hilarious!) and this table came with a page long thesis of which one he was keen on!

and when i tried putting this down into my little pink book, it turns out, no surprises, that with the current classes we are already enrolled in, we were dancing every single evening of the week! (at times even two classes back to back in one evening!) *gulps* so had to make some sacrifices!!

so this is it!

feb/march dance classes:
1) argentine tango
2) dancer course
3) bachata with andy *whoops* (yippe... i win!!)

so much to look forward to!! cant wait..
