Exhausted, but still feeling the excitement running through me!

So, I popped into High Heels in Surry Hills before my pole lesson at 1 PM, looking to buy some shoes to start elementary off next Wednesday.

I was served by a lovely lady who also did pole, and we struck up a nice conversation while she showed me what shoes were available. Many of the pairs I wanted to try on wasn’t in store, but she kept assuring me they can order in any pair of shoes, and will arrive shortly.

However, she did show me a pair of black Delight, and I instantly took a liking to it! She told me it was probably one of the better pairs to start off with. I tried it on and it felt right, so I ended up getting them…

I got to pole with a couple minutes to spare, and we did the warm up. And then our routine, where I decided to wear the Pleasers. I found that I couldn’t control the stopping of some spins… and was worried with tripping over, but the instructor kept telling me to leave them on.

Fast forward to the performance, and I was shaking visibly. There was only the three of us today; everyone must’ve bailed! Apart from a few minor mistakes and nerves, the performance went okay. The elementary routine was very pretty, and the instructors’ performance was reeeeallly awesome! Then we had a chance to take some photos for a while, which was a lot of fun!

With this, we have “graduated”, yay!!

P.S. My shoes already have scratches… I guess that’s normal, but I didn’t expect it to have scratch marks in the same day I bought them… All’s good, I still hope to get a lot of use out of them!

I’m so excited to read on the mX papers that the Peppers will supposedly do a tour in Australia in 2012! After some digging online (e.g. in this Triple M post), I found that Flea has confirmed it (and that I must have been living under a rock or something, because it was apparently confirmed 2 whole months ago)!

This is so exciting; I thought I would never see them play live! I’m still regretting that I didn’t go to their last concert (even though I’ve heard mixed experiences about it), but because of this piece of news, that thought has finally eased a little; there’s still a chance!

After getting the Peppers on my mind, I can’t help but post one of my favourite Peppers song, Under the bridge. A song about drug addiction, this song (along with a few others, such as Venice Queen and Tearjerker about Kurt Kobain) always reminds me of segments in Anthony Kiedis’ autobiography, Scar Tissue.

Anyway, the infamous classic and one of the favourites, Under the bridge. ♥

I had bookmarked the Omerch page to preorder their new album, Heritage. However, the pack I wanted (CD/DVD bundle edition) to purchase got sold out =( it was the best option for me there… I guess I just have to wait until it is available for preorder again…
