We fail the audition T.T,,, we don't actually fail the audition but the committee said that we have to make sure that the song, choreography, costume, etc have to support the theme "Peace of Art". All dance group could not perform at the closing ceremony but we could actually perform on the encounter friendship concert. We decided to not participate in any performance for now because we believe that other opportunities may come. Today, we practice on physical endurance. Mrs. Risa gave us lessons as to how to improve our power in dance and we encounter some new challenges. We struggle in following Mrs. Risa's pace. Flexibility is our main problem. None of us is really flexible while actually, dance could not be separated from flexibility and power. We will continue on improving our skills.

Today is the BIG day! We are going to have our audition today! We are very nervous since we're hoping so much that we could perform at the artfest closing ceremony. Our friends also support the four of us. We did not use the costume on the audition since we want it to be a surprise. We saw other dance groups and we admit that one of them are really good but, we won't give up because we want to achieve our goal and show that we've improved so much. I realize that our group have actually improved SO much since our first meeting. Our teacher also told us that we've improves. This motivates me to do more and learn more about dance. I'm planning to keep doing this CAS activity through out this year.

My mandarin lesson is starting soon. I will give the proposal to Bu Helmy soon. I will update the journal once I have started my first creativity activityL mandarin lesson.

Today, we practiced using our costume as for the preparation for next week, the audition. We believe that we'll do good in the audition and whatever the decision is, we will accept it and keep on improving our skill. We find it difficult to dance with the costume since it's less comfortable than the training clothes we used to wear. This became a new challenge for us and we work collaboratively so that we could do our best. We ask for opinions from my 2 sisters and they said that overall, we've done a great job but we still need to improve on our coordination skill and work on the details.
