The Mantis Evolution

My routines are beginning to be like babies,
they're mostly conceived at night.

it's almost 6am
and my newest routine is more or less done!

Just one more rehearsal and i can pack up.

This one is called "The Mantis Evolution".
And while i've been thinking about it on and off for the past month,
it was only on thursday that i had something concrete down pat.

I was at the SMU underpass which is completely dead at night.
Yihong and Robert were there too to practise but they left early.
i stayed behind with my hood and had an inspired time,
until i realised it was damn scary that i was all alone near midnight in the long ulu SMU underpass.

Or maybe i was the one who looked really scary in a faceless hood

----------------------------------------------

did more hard rehearsing on Friday.
all the way past midnight.

the esplanade is open and bright and there were still pple around,
so it's a lot less scary.

I was rehearsing with my halloween faceless mask which reduced visibility by about 50%,
and then at midnight the underpass dims its light by 50%.
so i basically juggled with 25% visibility.

like machiam some juggling zen master.
must do it the hard way.

------------------------------------------

Anyway,

i think the entire routine is just about done.
The D&D is tmrw,
can't get anymore last minute than that.

Alan very kindly offered to drop by to be my cameraman,
so perhaps one day i may be able to put the routine on youtube.

In the meantime,
here's to:
