As usual, we had our practice at Pusanika again. I was late for half an hour plus because I had class previously. Basically our practice divided into 2 parts, we were doing 2 dances today. One is the 'flying time', another is the 'chao zou' dance with UKM branch dancers. I was absent when they first choreograhping the 'chao zou' dance last Saturday as I was too tired and lazy to continue practicing at night. What you've gave is what you've get. Because of my absence and lacking of time, I won't be joining them from the starting but from the middle part. The dance wasn't really hard actually, contrarily I think the steps are more simple than other dance and it is a happy song. But our progress on that song was really slow. Some of us catch up very slow and we have to repeat the same steps over and over again. I wasn't blaming anyone but our time is limited now, I think we should do better than this. But we all understand that practice makes perfect, all we can do is just keep on practicing. I also learned the small part that I missed in order to join them and tried to teach those who can't catch up with us.
After the practice, I just got to know from my friends that a girl wrote about us on her blog. I was shocked when I read it. She was actually blaming us for taking their chances of performing away. In fact, we didn't steal any of their chance away. I admit that this year, the main campus dancers really took part in most of the dance, in a total of 6 pieces, we were in 5 of them , some of us even involve in every piece. This was decided by our teacher whether to let us join. When this happened, the girl felt hurt I supposed because their dance is fewer than us and there's a huge gap between our performance!
If I were her, maybe I will feel that the teacher treat us unfairly. But this is about the whole UKM show, it's not the main campus show or UKM branch show. Does she really need to divide it so clearly? Whether main or branch campus, it's still UKM right. This year our time is really really pack, we only have one week plus to choreo and adjust our movements from now on. There isn't much time left for us to pick up slowly, we have no time to waste. It is necessary for our teachers to make this decision and I don't think they are wrong. What the audience want is a quality show. What for if we do so many dances but none of them is good? Will there be any audience who wants to watch it next year? She also mentioned that this will be her first and the last time to dance, she felt she wasted a lot of her time for meeting her close friends and family and she had no feel for PT dance already. Well, I couldn't say much if someone has no heart for this event anymore. But if she remains here, she is still PT dancers until the actual day. As a responsible student, we should do our best when we commit in something. I always disagree with people who promised to join but then showed no concern to it. If you are in such a situation, why not just leave than keep complaining? Try to accept it with an open heart if you want to stay, it will make your day easier too.
I am sometimes a bit unwilling to be left behind by others, when the teacher does not 'use' me, of course I feel down also. But it's better to work hard than wasting my time thinking of how bad the situation is. I wanted to join 'chao zou' dance and I don't want to miss half of the song, what to do? I learned some of their previous steps so that I can join them in that particular part. It's better than doing nothing but just waiting for miracle to happen. I got what I want and I will not ask for more. I'm glad that I can dance together with them. Previously I felt a bit disappointed when I knew I might only involve in 4 pieces due to my absence on that half day. I nearly think to the dark side and act negatively. But I knew I shouldn't do it that way because once I did, my days during pt practice would be very hard. That's not what I want. I still want to enjoy and I want to be with my pt friends. Thus, I decided to ask for an opportunity from the teacher and I finally got it. Although it's just a small part as I'm not that ambitious (haha), but I'm satisfied. At least I'm not left behind by them, not as much as I thought. ^^
Anyway, I wish good luck to all pt performers. Let's make a final sprint before the show starts. Wish we all can make it successfully and beautifully. So that I can face my friends who are going to support me, haha... Always remember, believe in oneself, there's nothing to be afraid of. Gambateh!!
