But I think she felt it was time ... would have liked to see it myself but I only heard about it and it seems the reviews were mixed.<BR/><BR/>And re the blog, if you need it translated, we can always try to help you out. :)MMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10376657805651718106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15259991.post-1151165440025633332006-06-25T00:10:00.000+08:002006-06-25T00:10:00.000+08:00Looks like Ms Jamila may have opted to delete her blog. A search just now had no hits compared to a search just this morning - that brought up her blog but with entry by invitation only.

You can say that I was one of the spectators there. Would like to know your comments on the Malaysian scene though…<BR/><BR/>p/s: I thought the tribal dancer was interesting… although I'm not too sure Malaysians are quite ready for it.geleknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15259991.post-1151040317810959792006-06-23T13:25:00.000+08:002006-06-23T13:25:00.000+08:00Gelek, you being cheeky??? I would never have guessed ...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I guess the beauteous one may have good reasons for it. Maybe after her win and her pictures splashed on the papers and telly, she kept getting all these DOM's pervy comments and so she decided to restrict access to her blog! <BR/><BR/>By the way, are you the Malaysian who recently performed the tribal item at Impiana?MMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10376657805651718106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15259991.post-1151035912859434592006-06-23T12:11:00.000+08:002006-06-23T12:11:00.000+08:00hehe… quoting your friend 3A…<BR/><BR/>'We all know that a blog is essentially one's (private) soapbox accessible to interested Netizens.'<BR/><BR/>well, I'm just being cheeky…geleknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15259991.post-1151003858204265062006-06-23T03:17:00.000+08:002006-06-23T03:17:00.000+08:00Er, dear Gelek<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately I have a strange quirk. I actually respect other people's blogs and privacy such that I do not link them or reveal their addy without permission. I view it much like people's numbers. Do not give out unless they give permission.<BR/><BR/>Also, according to 3A, Jamila has restricted all access to her blog recently - reasons unknown! So sorry, mate. Good luck though!MMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10376657805651718106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15259991.post-1150985809673977542006-06-22T22:16:00.000+08:002006-06-22T22:16:00.000+08:00May I have the link to Jamila's blog for future entertainment?

I knew that the students would appear and exhibit exactly the kind of maturity and behaviour which you have just shown, Dancefairy.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for helping me prove my point.<BR/><BR/>Who am I? The reporter who is writing the story on the dance community. One of the teachers your teacher asked to join the contest but refused because we did not think professional teachers and dancers should be participating so that you students can compete on a level playing field. The person who the other dancers asked to report on the event and to gauge the standard of the dancers and the contest. <BR/><BR/>And by the way, I did speak with the judges and have incorporated their comments and opinions.<BR/><BR/>And thank you for your constructive advice but actually, I am contracted to write a blog, although not this one, so unfortunately, I cannot take your mature and grammatically masterful comment into consideration.<BR/><BR/>And practisicing? LOL, my dear Dancefairy, I practise everyday but not to win competitions but because I actually love the dance. <BR/><BR/>By the way, so which one were you in the competition?MMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10376657805651718106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15259991.post-1150910856091700242006-06-22T01:27:00.000+08:002006-06-22T01:27:00.000+08:00Who are you to judge who is the winner or not?

I must commend you on your patience in reading it all! I thought only the die-hard industry peeps would bother!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad it gave you some insight into the event - I just wished it was a more positive one. Hopefully come late July I would have a better review of another event which will give everyone a better impression of our industry.<BR/><BR/>Also, to be fair, the organiser was not one of the judges. What she was, allegedly, was one of the two persons allowed to tabulate the scores from the judges. Which I personally think is worse. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again and do come back! :)MMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10376657805651718106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15259991.post-1150386739923566012006-06-15T23:52:00.000+08:002006-06-15T23:52:00.000+08:00This has been a fascinating series. I know nothing about dance (aside from liking to watch it), but have found all the politics of this interesting.<BR/><BR/>So sad that the deserving contenders didn't win! And what's up with having one of the teachers of most of the contestants be a judge? That's enough to make you question the whole thing right there.<BR/><BR/>Your passion and respect for dance comes through in every sentence - thus carrying those of us along who usually don't know or care about this field.Dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15259991.post-1150261388944668392006-06-14T13:03:00.000+08:002006-06-14T13:03:00.000+08:00You are so patient! LOL. I am trying to get the Troupe & International reviews out pronto.<BR/><BR/>Well, I have a feeling that your segment might not remain untouched for long too. Knowing some of the behavioural patterns here, you might find some mini-yous popping up. Sorry to be such a pessimist. <BR/><BR/>But guess what? You'll always be the first and the most unique in Singapore!MMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10376657805651718106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15259991.post-1150256655081189082006-06-14T11:44:00.000+08:002006-06-14T11:44:00.000+08:00Still reading.....<BR/><BR/>Sigh!
