TV overdose.

Just watched the first half of So You Think You Can Dance Season 3.
Its a fantastic show, and you can really see how the dancers progressed from show to show.

the choreographers are Sick! in a good way that is, though Wade Robson is kinda twisted. seriously twisted. but brilliant. Mia and shane are definitely amongst my favorite choreographers.

A memorable quote:
“i noticed a trend among the choreographers, and it is in that most of the time, the dance ends with one party walking away. NOT ALL RELATIONSHIPS END THAT WAY!”

1 take away: the west coast swing routine By Benji for Pasha and Sara.
Not so much the dance itself but rather what the judges said. “Benji could have made it easier for Sara by toning it down, but instead, he pushed them to the next level, and it paid off.”

This is applicable to teaching in this way:
As educators, we have to keep pushing the students, to stretch their limits so that they will know what they are really capable of, instead of just letting them be, and letting them give up on themselves or continue being mediocre.

The Video: Its Stunning!

Benji in action:

Season 4 is in production now. Guess who’s been watching every episode as soon as it is released ? =p

Gym Session

Joined Bryan for a gym session at the old NTU Gym.
Hit the shoulders and chest with the following exercises.
Standing Military Press X 4 Sets
Bent Over Rows X 4 Sets
Lats Pulldown X 4 Sets
Upright Rows X 4 Sets
Bench Press X 3 Sets

Was Good except that i pulled a nerve in my traps, fiery pain ensured, but after doing lats pulldown as an alternate exercise, i managed to get rid of the pain, and was able to go on to the upright rows.

It felt good to work out again, and really ,doing weights in the gym is different from doing at home.

Fantastic session indeed.
