Shi Min here ^^

hie guys ^^ ok, had my first ballet lesson today, it was great!~ :D we sing songs while doing those steps (: the teacher compile those steps into a song so that we could remember better (: it was nice (: i've learned a lot of things today (: i just realised that u have to take note of a lot of things in ballet. like, back straight, shoulders down, chin up. even wihile holding the bare, we have to place our hands in a nice way. and when we have to turn around, our body have to face the bare, then we turn and we have to be on our tippy toes! ^^ hahas, the teacher was very kind, but strict as well (: if u follow her instructions carefully, u will be fine. but, if u bargain with her... then... :0 hahas.

ok,first,we stand at the bare, do some pointe work and some hand work, the name of it starts with a letter "p" but i can't recall :( the teacher praised me! ^^ she said" not bad, shi min" :D hahas, but this is only the first lesson. perhaps she will be stricter next time (:

" open a big "V" , 3 quarter, point, 3 quater, close, 3 quarter, point, 3 quarter, close" after an exercise, the teacher will say"ok, relax and shake yourself out" (: nice~ yep, sometimes she would allow us to take a sip of water (:

then, we had our centre work. we did bending our bodies in front and touching our toes, demi plie, pointe works, jumping and side split (: we jump in first position 2 times then quickly change to second position and jump one time and back to first position 1 time (:

that was tedious! i couldn't really catch up with that.one of the primary six girls was great at it :D teacher even asked her to demo (: i also can't really follow the rhythm of the music.

but, Yu xuan gave me some tips! ^^ thank eu yu xuan! ^^ ok, the bending our our bodies and touching of our toes was great work! it was so damn painful.

ok, then we did the side splits. we have to open our legs as far as we could, then bend our body forward, flat.i did it! i bend my body right down onto the ground and teacher even asked others to look at me!! ^^ hahas. one girl kept screaming cause the teacher pull her hand forward to let her stretch as far as possible (: the teacher said that she can see that that girl is flexible, she can do it!
