battle of the bulge round 5655989586

i swear, there is nothing worse than getting on the weighing scale and seeing a 1.5kg jump.

water retention, probably, but it irks me, because i constantly weigh my worth by the number on my scale.

it doesn't help that i have an extremely screwed-up digestive system that kills me on an almost daily basis.

it's a self esteem problem.

indulging my inner fangirl

recently i've been obsessing over something. it has led me to spend hours every night on the computer, giggling like a schoolgirl, swooning like a mills & boon heroine and wibbling like a completely starstruck moron.

i had been the fan of sytycd when the first season was broadcasted here in...was it 2006? i remember rushing to the gym after work on mondays and aiming straight for the threadmill right in front of the monitor showing channel 5...and being really pissed off the one week some idiot got there before me. (he got the evil eye from me that night.) i would suffer through the static on the receiver just to hear the music that they dance to (and switch it off when it's some boring stuff...like hip hop. ew). of course, now, i only have some fleeting memories of nick's spins and melody's high extensions (also apparently known as HMVs. don't ask.)

yet, i didn't have any interest in it for season 2 and beyond hok's unceremonious exit in vegas due to his visa problems, i have no remembrance of it whatsoever. (benji who?)

then season 3 started showing here. i wasn't going to watch (i didn't even know they were showing it), except that my colleague and friend started to gasp in excitement about it to me, seeing that i'm a dancer, so to join in the discussion, i started to watch it online. except i made a mistake and watched the season 4 auditions, which got me hooked. (please go google danielle chorizo. especially if you watched season 2.)

references to the previous seasons intrigued me, so with the help of the internet, i got my hands on copies of season 3 (so that i don't have to wait an entire week to watch one episode. i mean, really, mediacorp, is there a need to drag it out so much by showing the performance show and the results show on separate weeks??) and started to watch like a maniac. somewhere along the line, i fell in love with a couple of dancers and that was it for me.

hi, i'm lillyelf, and i'm a sytycd-addict. my poison of choice are dominic from season 3 and mark from season 4. i can bring myself to watch dom and sabra's rumba and hip hop and mark and chelsie's argentine tango forever and ever.

...

this isn't the end.

somewhere between relief and panic

you know how some days you swear the people around you are being stupid on purpose?

this is one of those days.

*mmphgfh*

i can't wait to leave.

UNEMPLOYMENT RULEZ!
