SUPP's Chinese New Year Dance Gathering

17 February 2006

It took me a year to decide which dance group I wanted to belong to in Miri. Have to get back to my dancing or I else I will die of boredom and lack of exercise! There are many groups available, where some of my old friends are. I had joined their dancing classes a couple of times but where did I ended up in? In a group that I have never been to! In a group where I don't even though a single soul! Why? It is nearest to my home - with the rising cost of petrol, this is much more economical. And also the timing of their classes suited me.

Nobody came to talk with me me the first time I walked in the class, although some of them smiled when I greeted them!! I think I was like a newly transplanted organ in a body experiencing rejection! That was on the 5 January! But since that day, the body has accepted me. I am enjoying myself getting to know them. This is my first social gathering with them - my new friends! We had fun playing games. I was even made a leader of a team - not bad for a new member, huh?

I was selected to join 5 others to perform a fan dance in a Chinese New Year party on the 26 February but I had to turn it down because Sunday is my rest day!! Any other day of the week - no problem!

Miri Hilltop Garden Chinese New Year Party

4 F.ebruary 2006

It was a Chinese New Year Party organised by the Hilltop Garden Neighbourhood Committee. Two weeks ago, a member of their dance group presented me with a ticket to join in their gathering. I am glad I went. I had an enjoyable time. I met a principal and also a maths teacher from my former school. I enjoyed the food and most of all the dancing.



And I won a lucky draw too. The lucky number was 97 and I got an 'ang pow' of 5 Ringgit.
