Today was such a fantastic day :) :)..Spent the entire day at oxfam where i made a huge mistake but with a lot of luck and grace, managed to correct it by the time we closed shop..so at least i didn't have to fork out any money. phew. Learnt a super big lesson today..i'd better be more alert when i'm sitting at the till..hai..learning so much stuff that can't be learnt from uni or anywhere else..guess its very diff in a charity. Ironically, after a while you learn not to feel so sorry for some of the ppl who come in..like this man in a wheelchair who tried to trick us by changing the prices on some of the items that he wanted to buy..luckily i've done months of pricing so i know how much the items are worth and i managed to stop the transaction and called nelly..these ppl...hai.....
Then after work, i went to watch a cuban dance performance 'Havana rakatan' with yamara, alex and nelly...and guess where it was?? haha peacock theatre in lse..omg i thought i would nv go back there after my exams..haha but the show was sooooooooooooo good. There was salsa, rumba, mambo, flamenco(!!!!!) and many others plus a live cuban band playing and singing at the back!! and for each dance, it told a cuban story which yamara explained to me as we went along..so interesting..i never knew a country that is so rich in culture like cuba. And when i told them that we don't dance at all in sg, they were flabbergasted.hahah.coz dance is such an integral part of their culture..domenican republic and cuba are very similar coz they both have a some african religion and culture. So tonight nelly and yamara became so homesick..haha. I love all the dances..so sensual and sexy and you need a connection with the person ur dancing with otherwise u'll nv pull it off like that..pretty amazing dances. Glad i learnt some salsa this yr..so at least i could appreciate the performance tonight..haha i'm so inspired to learn and improve more. Yamara was up half the time dancing during the performance..haha guess its in her blood..pretty cool not to be self-conscious..alex was saying he could nv get up and dance like that in the middle of a show..and i was like yea me too..haha. omg actually i'm feeling so woozy now..had too much wine and now i'm feeling very lala~~haha. Fantastic day. I'm gonna change my ticket to the 18th..this will be the 4th time i'm changing my ticket..but heck. I wanna stay for the cuban festival now..and its on the 16th and 17th. lalala.
