How shall I put it?

“Directress, you have to learn up the Para Para dance so that you can teach the students for the up-coming family day at Titiwangsa this Saturday!” said Ms. Theam (our kindy principal). “You have got 3 days to get it right!” We, directress all stared blankly at her, wondering how in the &)&&#)($&(* are we going to achieve that!!!!

We had discussed and agreed to doing Para Para dance like a month before hand. I had downloaded the videos from Youtube with the help of Ed converting and burning the files so that I can bring it to kindy for viewing and ‘practice’. As usual, dilly dally to the last few days and panic buttons were pushed and all of us Directress are running around like headless chicken.

Probably is talent that we have in us, we managed to get the hang of how Para Para is being danced. I chose the simplest version with a nice catchy tune (in fact, all of us were humming it now and then - LOL, it got stuck in our heads!!!! Dang!) I think we would be ‘eating’ Para, ‘drinking’ Para, ’shitting’ Para and ‘dreaming’ Para these few days till Saturday!

We managed to ’show’ and ‘teach’ the children - it was a funny sight. We trying to keep up to the beat and movements (also trying our hardest to look like we have been doing it for years!!!!) Children being fast learners, some of them actually got on quite well!!! In fact, they could be better than us “old farts” with rusty bones…. ;P

Here is some info on what ‘Para Para’ dance is:

Para Para is performed using mostly arm movements; very little lower body movement is involved save for perhaps moving one’s hips or stepping in place, although a few routines require more detailed leg motions. It has been speculated that it is a descendant of the traditional Bon Odori dance, however there is no known link. The dance originated from the early days in the 80’s when men working in the VIP room in clubs would choreograph dances to impress the women. The dance style then grew from there. The dances are performed to fast, upbeat music such as Eurobeat, Hyper Techno and Eurodance. Fans of Para Para dancing often call themselves “Paralists”.

The dance we are to do:

**KING KONG…KING KONG….**

Lurve this piece…. Such emotion.  This is what the song is about…. Enjoy.

I often close my eyes
And I can see you smile
You reach out for my hand
And I’m woken from my dream
Although your heart is mine
It’s hollow inside
I never had your love
And I never will

CHORUS
And every night
I lie awake
Thinking maybe you love me
Like I’ve always loved you
But how can you love me
Like I loved you when
You can’t even look me straight in my eyes

I’ve never felt this way
To be so in love
To have someone there
Yet feel so alone
Aren’t you supposed to be
The one to wipe my tears
The one to say that you would never leave

The waters calm and still
My reflection is there
I see you holding me
But then you disappear
All that is left of you
Is a memory
On that only, exists in my dreams

CHORUS

I don’t know what hurts you
But I can feel it too
And it just hurts so much
To know that I can’t do a thing
And deep down in my heart
Somehow I just know
That no matter what
I’ll always love you

So why am I still here in the rain

Check this out! I found it in youtube!!.. amazing fler doing amazing thingy with his mouth+lips+throat coordination.. I bet when he started doing beatboxing, tons of saliva was spit all over and proly drown his entire village…. “Phbbbttt, phh tuit tuit, bkshhbttt”, yadayada….

This is absolutely brilliant and funny!!! Check out all his expressions when he sings! I just have got to share this with you all…. Amazing!!!!

You can sing a long with it:

[Close Encounters of the Droid Kind]
You must use the force (repeat ad nauseum)

[Raiders of the Lost Wookiee]
Long time ago, far far away (repeat)

Kiss a wookie, kick a droid
Fly the falcon through an asteroid
Till the princess is annoyed
This is spaceships, it’s monsters, it’s Star Wars, we love it!

Come and help me, Obi-Wan
X-wing fighter and a blaster gun
Dance with Ewoks, oh what fun!
This is spaceships, it’s monsters, it’s Star Wars, we love it!

[Super Han]
Get in there you big, furry oaf
I couldn’t care less what you smell
I take orders from only me
Maybe you’d like it back in your cell
Your Highness, your worshipfulness, your highness, your worshipfulness

No one cares if you upset a droid
(nobody cares if you upset a droid)
That’s because droids don’t tear your arms out of socket.
(nobody cares)
I suggest a new strategy: let the Wookie win
That’s because nobody cares if you upset a droid.

[ET the DiscoTerrestrial]
Now we listen to Luke whining:
One more season… One more season… One more season… One more season…

I was gonna go to Tosche Station for power converters
Now I guess I’m going nowhere.
It just isn’t fair.

[Jaws: the Wookiee]
Woooooookiee (repeat)

Someone move this walking carpet (repeat)

Kiss your brother, Kiss your brother (repeat)

Princess Leia
Well I guess you don’t know anything about women.

Who’s your daddy? (repeat)

[Jurassic Darth]
Luke, I’m your father
(That’s not true!)
It is useless to resist
(My hand!)
Come with me my son, We will rule
(I’ll never join you!)
Search your feelings it is true

So you have a twin sister
Who Obi-Wan was wise to hide
(Is that Leia?)
If you will not turn
Then perhaps she will
Give in to your hate
You are mine

Long Long Long Time ago… Far Far Far Far Away

Long Long Long Time Ago, Far Far Far Away (repeat)

Kiss a wookie
Kick a droid
Fly the falcon
Through an asteroid
Till the princess is annoyed
(She’s annoyed!)
This is spaceships, it’s monsters, it’s Star Wars, we love it, it’s true

Episode 3
Coming to you
In 2005

So Let’s go
(go go go to the movies)
Stand in line
(buy buy buy me some popcorn)
Cause it’s al-
(please I’d like extra butter)
most the time
(Join the dark side…)
May the Force be with you all

John Williams is the man

I just lurve this song!!! Heard it for the first time from watching Twilight. Been obsessed by the song for weeks (well, that was like 2 months ago!). Left the song in my ‘well of memories’ till i chatted with my dear friend Kelvin a.k.a. ‘Moo Moo Cow’ who is now residing with his wife Rachel (both of them happens to be my college mates back then). Here is how it started…
