That's great news, Min!
I have had difficulty understanding SMG at times, but that's just because she sometimes talks so quickly! Also don't get some of the Americanisms. One sentence of which I could only understand the first two words until I read the transcript was "It's like cotillion with spiked punch and electric slide".
Great news, Min!

I'm conscious now that I wasn't one of the people who sent you good wishes and good-luck vibes and so on, but I was busy, and in Asia myself, at the time. I do so retrospectively now. Very glad to hear they're better.

Nope. Grapevine right, clap. Grapevine left, clap. Three steps back, clap. Step front, tap back foot, weight on back foot, tap front foot, quarter turn. (Or, once you've done this at the first bunch of the 18 bar and bat mitzvahs for kids in your grade, start thinking up endless variations that eventually include break-dancing moves.)
