The Showcase

Been thinking about the flamenco showcase a lot as I have to do two dances.  One of which we have only learnt it for...... a month!

We started learning the basics of bata de cola just a few months ago.  Despite that, one of the students wanted to do a bata dance in the showcase.  So the teacher found the shortest music she could find and did a choreography for us.  It's a bit chaotic but we are putting things together.

The final rehearsal is tomorrow and we will do the show on Sunday.  During the last rehearsal, I went totally blank for the other dance that I was totally lost and didn't know what I was doing.  I hope it won't happen this Sunday...!

I need all the luck I can get......!

Memories 2

Recently I retrieved some music from this singer, Cass Pang.  I love her music and her voice.  Like one of my friends described, "When you hear her sing, you hear a story."

Many years ago, there was a time I went to a hotel karaoke every evening after work.  Rather than going to a karaoke room, I would sing in a lounge together with some others who frequented this place.  I made some friends there and we would all sang "in public", solo or duo.  It was fun.

Years later when I heard the songs of Cass Pang again, it brought back good memories of this time at the karaoke but also some not very happy experience of my life.  Some of Cass's lyrics said exactly how I felt.

Here, I have posted a few Cass's songs which I used to sing a lot at the karaoke.  Hope you would like them, and find her voice touches your heart.  :)

Memories

This song reminds me of an époque of sweetness.

On my return from a trip to Italy and Greece, I found a gift from a friend waiting for me.  It was a tape of Velvet Underground's selected music.  This is one of my favourite songs on the tape.  I'd kept onto it for many years until one day I realized I had nothing that could play this tape anymore.

[Can't remember if I still have it somewhere... but this brings me very special memories.]

Love the mood of this music.  Still love it a lot.

Pick of the Day

I think I started to love percussions because of her.  It wasn't exactly this show I saw at the time.  I think it was an MTV...but this one is just great!  At that time, I wished that I could play the drums like her!  :P

Gosh!  I feel so...... old...... ;)

Favourite Cat of All Times

Here is my favourite cat of all times.  I visit him from time to time on the net.  Just the cutest and cuddliest I've ever seen.  Don't you think so?

Mmmmmm <3 <3 <3
