a tiring day
....monday...i don't like monday...
coz it signifies the beginning of another week..
but today another special day. my japanese dance sensei is singapore now till tommorow and i spent almost the whole with her today..
she is such a nice lady n can be very serious when is teaching..and usu expect more from the senior's students..n i happen to be one of them.
after so many hours, i managed to learn the whole dance-a kabuki dance-named "fujimusume"-the meaning is wisteria(fuji) maiden. it's a beautiful dance and often performed in many events esp those events to introduce the japanese kabuki dance..
but...erm...the dance is not very easy..firstly it's 15 minutes of dance..and none of the steps are repeated. but the worst is that the position of your knees throughout the dance...half-bending n bend your toes inward-like that way japanese women walk...
hoe...even after 1.5 year learning jap dance, i still get musle aches everytime i practise more that 4 hours..n imagine today i practised up to the 7 hours
since i can manage to remember more or less the whole dance, my sensei is so happy
and asked me to try the real kimono that professional dancers are wearing for performances - usu i only wear yukata . a one-layer summer kimono.
so it's pretty think though it's thicker than normal clothes
hue..usu my whole body laready sweats when only using the yukata
the kimono that usually used for performance is much thicker and made of silk
plus much longer .so long that likes it has train and to weigh down the train.
hue..the moment i put on the kimono..i can feel at least another 2 kg is added into my clothes...plus it has the long sleeves-similar to those worn by geisha-
i almost can't walk properly in the first 10 minutes and keep stepping on the train all the time...hue..plus the obi-sash-used to tie the kimono wraps around the whole torso.i almost couldn't breathe already...
erm...and she wants me to wear again tommorow, hope i can survive tom...
and an accident happened to me today.
boiling water splashed on my fingers when i wanted to get some hot water..
hue..now my middle finger a bit swollen..but at least it is my left hand..
i need my right hand to hold pens and most importantly to hold the fan..
Note: i post along the sample of kimono and yukata
