Rachel's salsa competition

Went to support Rachel in her sexay salsa competition with Jingqi and Thomas. I can't believe my first trip to town for outing is in week 9 of the sem!! I've become a no lifer after school started. Wonder why I thought nbs year 1 was bad, year 2 is probably 20 times worse. I don't even know what to expect for year 3... Jingqi casually said to me, "oh, me and Thomas spontaneously went to Palau ubin to cycle last week." Me- "ok can."

Us! 

Right before the show, we realized that we forgot to buy flowers!! I think flowers are kinda impractical since they'll wilt soon but I guess it's a necessary thing to give performers haha. Thankfully scape, where the event was held, sold flowers so we went to buy a fake sunflower for Rach (erm fake flower more practical right? Haha) 

On to the show! The salsa competition was super eye opening! The "pop and lock" scene that I was used to drew cheers from their various stunts like sick body waves, isolations, box-splits etc, but what attracted me in salsa is the fiery chemistry between the male and female dancers. Woo, it was totally hot. 

Another notable thing is that at the lucky draw segment Jingqi won the first prize! This girl had her birthday luck man! No actually her luck is always very good LOL.

Finally met Rach after the competition. Rach looking all sexay~ Good job on the spectacular performance!

There was also this "social dancing" segment which people can randomly pair up and salsa away! Woah I dunno how they did it but a shy person like me would rather sit and watch (not that I can salsa anyways hehe XD) 

Ahhhh, this event really reminded me of my love for dance. Even though I can't do it well, I love how dance is able to inspire and energize people. I'll definitely try to pick it up again next time if time permits!

Here ends my short update ^_^ 

*edit*
Due to popular request for Thomas epic comment, at the risk of Rachel killing me, I shall just record it:

So me and Jingqi were drooling over the salsa ladies' costume, we were like "woah, so sexy!"

Thomas overheard and said in a matter-of-fact way "I can just wear my underwear and stick a cloth in there ah."

LOLOL.... The imagery was so funny and  we kinda giggled over that the whole night, Rachel don't kill us TT

And this is not the first epic comment from Thomas! If you're a long time reader you'll know about the "EZ link" comment also kekeke.
