Monday - Busy day at work - Salsa lessons! -

Whew, can't believe i'm writing this so late.

Today morning was especially crowded. Everyone decided to report sick today it seems. Hmmph.
I didn't get much help, but this time i managed to ease through without feeling overly grumpy, or my face being too black.

There are times when they could have offered help, but hey, who wants to help when you can tuang a bit? I totally understand this, so its fine. I can cope, its okay.

Work aside, i agreed to meet up with Jiahao tonight to go for Salsa lessons. Yes... Salsa... Dancing! Its at some place near Chinatown MRT station, and so we met, and walk over. His friend fetched us in.

The place was like... sorta a club. There were 3 dancing halls, if you like to call them that, but i was only exposed to one. Basically we idled and chatted a bit until the elementary Salsa lessons started. There were quite alot of people there (around 10+) though it was only later that we realised that they weren't attending this the first time.

In the beginning it was rather easy to catch. Like left leg up, right leg stamps on the spot, left leg comes back, etc. Then there's the sidestep, which was easy as well. Then comes the spinaround.
Sheesh. I don't get it. The spinaround part. I just don't get it. Until the end of the lesson then i agar agar get it.

Well the good thing about this is that its a partner thing. And most people won't be that fed up with beginners, so.. it was a good learning experience. I've never really danced a couple dance before, so yea.

The people there ranged from 19-30+. That's just an estimate ar. The lesson we attended took like an hour? Then another hour for their intermediate class. You could see it was a bit more advanced footwork, but it does look rather good.

We stayed around til the end, cause we had to wait for Jiahao's friend before we went for dinner..

Well you remember i was contemplating about getting a new hobby? I'm not putting much thought in this, but it sure is well, a bit interesting. It does beat going home and gaming everyday.

At least someday i may be able to say, i danced salsa for 2 years, instead of i gamed for 10 years or something. It does sound better right? Haha..

Nothing's concrete yet. I would appreciate if there are people out there who would like to open a private group with me. Its better to learn with familiar people at your own pace after all, the more the merrier, cause the cheaper it'll be.

Anyways, reached home rather late, and then had to scan some pictures for Gregory due tomorrow. Yawns.

Its 12:30 already, and i'm really tired. I did want to go home early today and skip that whole salsa thing since i was having the runs... but beh, my friend was afraid of going on his own, and since i totally understand, i went with him.

Overall it wasn't that bad. I was exposed to a whole new world. Truth be told i think this is so much better than clubbing and pubbing. The latter is something i will not understand for a long time maybe.

*shrugs*

At least i'm not regretting it now. I may regret it tomorrow though.. haha .. =_=
