Ballet

i miss ballet so so much T.T

missing the moments when i used to go for ballet lessons at DanceArt Ballet Academy in Taman Melawati..

wonder how's teacher Kathy and teacher Chui xin now... it's been sucha long time since i last saw them...

i miss my dance partner, Qiu Ping very very much too... T.T sob sob *she's currently at Sungai Petani doing her dentistry degree in Aimst's*

i still remember that time when i stopped ballet after form 5 (year 2004) because i had to join NS (National Service). It was compulsory for us who were selected to join.

i stopped ballet when i was half way doing my grade 8 and intermediate foundation. wasnt be able to finish my grade 8 exam though.. sad.. T.T my other friends in my class finished theirs.

the most sad part is i just started doing pointe work with pointe shoes for about a year that time and i had to stop because of NS. bought the pointe shoes for so expensive but only managed to use it for a year. sigh.

i miss my ballet leotard, ballet soft shoes, character skirt, character shoes, chiffon skirt, scarf...

my lovely ballet studio with big big mirror, piano, ballet pictures all hanging around the studio..

the moments teachers had to yell at us

"leg turn out !!! turn out!!"

"where is your eye line ??? "

"knee straight!"

"poin sharper!"

"lift up your elbow!"

"head up!!"

"where is your arabesque line??"

"yin yen! u look like as if u're 3 months pregnant!" *mean huh? LOL*

"u didn't practise enough!"

"focus front when doing your pirouettes!"

"hold your arms properly! u look like chicken now!" *hahaha!*

"give me higher jumps! higher! higher!!!"

"more expression!!!! smile smile smile!"

the moments when we had to bring our school books to ballet studio to study when doing our stetchings and warm-ups before classes start.. *near exam period*

the moments we had to tie bun neatly with a ribbon around and put make-up on during ballet examinations.

the moments when we had to pretend and smile in front of the scary-looking examiners! *i never liked them* they all looked very stern!

the moments when we were forced to tie buns to classes. pony tails are not allowed..

the moments when i had to rush from ballet class to piano class or tuition class..

the moments how my feet ache because of putting too much stress on them when doing pointe work..

the moments when i had to change into leotard and all coming straight to ballet school after school finish..

really love ballet so so so much !!!

as i know, Bali has no ballet schools for my age now.. sigh..

how i wish i can dance again! *sniff*
