-'Nothing is impossible'-.

Sounds cliche? You bet. But how many a time do we actually digest this phrase into our minds? The actual answer's close to zero. The very fact is that in most situations, we just have this phrase flashing across our minds as a constant reminder to never give up, but has it really gotten into our brains?

So anyway, I've decided to try and love/like everything which I dislike. It's a fact that the more you detest smthg, the worse you perform. The same concept applies to interests, work, and of course, studies too. Try processing it in your heads and instill that mentality in you; you'll be amazed by the difference made! (:

Recently, time has been pretty scarce- 24 hours just isn't sufficient. It's true that each of us have an equal no. of hours per day but I guess it's up to individual as to how we allocate our time such that we're able to maximize the amount available. Never ever blame it on other factors should you have insufficent time cus its always you who make the choice; you who decide what to prioritise and what you should forgo.

I know my prioties. I believe I'm one who ensures that I stick to them and not let any other constraints overtake them no matter what and I trust myself that I'll be able to handle multiple tasks successfully in time to come. I better do..

I didn't go for dance today cus there's simply too many tasks to complete and I'm pretty overwhelmed. Reached home at an oh-so-early time of 3pm and I had a 2hour nap. Felt really refreshed after that! ( though I still feel guilty of skipping dance for the 2nd time ) Full concentration on dance sat alrights! :D

To seowhuan: Thanks for that wonderful part in ur dec29 post! (: I'm really touched. It has really been ages since I last saw you but I rest assure you that you're still as dear. :D Every now and then, memories of the 6 of us rehearsing for o2 dance sessions just flash past and not forgetting, those numerous practices of PJ's fun & mass dance. That's also how we grew to be closer in scap too, isn't it? =) I can still rmb the day we teared tog during o2 finale bcus I couldn't bear to leave all of you. But eventually, I managed to leave whilst bringing along all those wonderful memories which we shared. Till today, they're still etched in my heart! Also, don't blame yourself for making the choice to stay in pj. So long as you're happy and well with current situations, everything's gonna be fine. Who knows; maybe you suit more to jc than poly? (: Just don't ever regret your decision and never look back! Mel loves you always! :)

I'm off. Joining the 8am s&w lesson tmr cos I have smthg on tmr afternoon. Dad's birthday's on Sat and we're all going to have a feast! :D Nights!

Its 1am in the morning but I just have the sudden urge to blog although my bed's calling out to me.

This may seem kinda outdated but the fact is, I miss PJ a lot. Was bloghopping blogs of councilors as well as scapers and as I scanned their memories of jc life, I began to ponder how things will be if I'm still in pj. Though the stress level in jc is a gazillion times more than that of poly, the bond between friends is definitely stronger given the lesser amt of peeps. Even so, I must say that I'm pretty contented with having such a lovely class of TR22 right now and not forgetting, 8 sweet girlfriends who never fail to make me be lil miss sunshine. The lil acts and kindness that you portray make a difference and I'd like to say a big thank you to all! (:

Leaving college wasn't at all easy considering the amt of fun we had during the 1st three months, but I'm kinda glad that I found my other great big family in relation to SCAP/council; NPDS. :D Thanks to Imelda for introducing dancesport to me cus if not for her, I wouldn't have known much abt this sport and might not even have joined it. But from the day I became part of it, I knew that my choice would never be a mistake and I'm proud to say that I love NPDS loads ! (: All the fun that we have; the outings; chalets; performances are just superb and you guys rawk! And as I flipped the pages of my organizer, I also realised that it's abt a month to NP open and this IS freaky. M&S's gonna go for SEA games soon, which means that there won't be lessons and CT week is fast approaching. Thus, we're left with even lesser time.. :/

Shucks-

So NPDS, let's all give our best shot and rule our c.ctre's dancefloor on Dec29! (: We have to, we must and we will be the best! :) May the spirit and passion for dance never die yeah? :DD

Lastly, A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DEAREST ALICIA & VICTORIA! Thanks for the wonderful bbq/mini gathering and its a pity that the few of us didn't stay overnight. ): Hope you guys are having fun though!

Nights darls! :]

It’s another beautiful Friday and here I am taking some quality time to blog. Time’s been zooming past and before you know it, a week’s coming to an end. It’s actually pretty scary upon knowing that it’s only 16 days to CT; the horrible period which causes everyone to go gaga. ): And I can’t help but rant about this sem’s modules being oh-so-tough. Helpppppppp!

School's been pretty hectic with all the various assignments and projects and we suffer from information overload practically everyday! Lecturers speak at lightning pace and it's utterly difficult to catch what they're saying, which kinda sucks and the best thing is that both MIEC and BSTATS lecturer inherit this trait.

Faints-.

Anyw, we went for our dining workshop on Tues and it was kinda fun. (: The theory part was boring cus Ann spoke for 1+ hours about the various kinds of table etiquette till my eyes could barely open. The food was average though, with the main course of Fish and dessert of sobet and choc cake being yummy but the rest of the items being urgh. :x Blahs. I'm lazy to upload the dishes so pls refer to May, Shux or Rach's blog for more details. :D

Tmr's gonna be another tiring day with dance in the afternoon, costume-fitting after that and Ali's birthday chalet at night. Sighhhhhhh. I wana replenish my sleep! )):

Off. Enjoy the photos!















A courteousy of Mr Tim Leu; (:














Mayy sweetie :D















A very fun & loving TR22! (: Loves!














HOM FABM proj group. Jiayou everyone! :D

Omg. I took three pathetic hours to complete my work journal and I almost went $&%$^* cus I couldn't think of anything to write on and thus kept procrastinating. Arghhh. What a waste huh. The HOM FABM integrated assignment's no better cause I have absolutely no idea what to write on for my part. Dead shit when its just year1 sem2 of poly and I don't even dare to think of my grades/gpa for this sem. Shucks- Damn stressful mans..

Mom's coming back this midnight! (: I can't wait to see her again and of course, those things that she bought for me! :D Whoots :D

Off to prep for prac night.

Friday, November 16, 2007

I just don't like fridays athough it may be the day which many peeps enjoy since its IS day. How ironical uh. I find my CATS class super boring cus for the past 5 weeks, we haven't seem to have done anything useful, apart from the mini ppt project which we've worked on last week. We don't even know each other's names, needless to mention befriend one another. All thanks to the tutor's fab idea of not having an introductory session for bonding.

I miss my LMS class & all the fun we had with Ms Anne Marie last sem. ): CATS suck. Seriously. And the weekly s&w sessions don't seem to brighten up my days either although its the dance-related hip-hop. Perhaps I'm really not born to like HH so no matter how hard I try to develop a liking for it, the 'feel' just isn't there. Maybe Yoga would have been a better choice but oh wells.. what can I say?

Time's been spinning like it never did and before we know it, week 6's about to arrive. And though we're alr in the midst of week 5, the momentum and motivation isn't there yet and I'm starting to worry. It's true that we have lesser projs this sem but the modules require much more than that of last sem. Someone please tell me what ta do?

On a happier note, school's been pretty fun with my lovely class & clique of 8 around. Girlfriends just don't fail to brighten up my day and I love all! To Aud, Char, Esther, Ley, Shux, Yina & Rach: Thank you for everything and I LOVE you guys! :D :D The 8 of us went totally high & crazyeh during the 2hour break ystd after taking tons of phtos tog at the convention centre! Hehh. =p Shall upload a few cus I'm pretty lazy.. so enjoy

My feet hurt like ____. Thought that those damn blisters will get better today after being treated with zambuk but they got worse instead! The meat's now reddish-pink and it seems so so raw. argh! PAIN.. ):

Tell me how I'm gonna dance tmr. Dad says there's a prob with the new shoes but I'm really hoping that it's becus of the lack of seasoning. I just took panadol and I'm praying for the wounds to get better tmr. They better do.

Bye!


♥yours truly. 9:23 PM



My new dance heels are killing me! I was on it for barely 10mins of jive and three damn blisters started popping out which were hell painful! Arghh. So I took my heels off and danced barefoot which felt uber weird. But ystd's lesson & prac was kinda productive and I feel good. (: And we had 30 over new members joining so they attended their first cha lesson.

I can't wait for dance tmr but before that, we still gotta survive 1+ days of lessons. Everyone's started planning for our HOM FABM project and I can feel the stress level building up anytime. CT's in a month's time and its abt 5 weeks to NP open.


Btw, we had our first OPERA lesson ystd during HOM tutorial. Not the chinese opera but the system which hotels use to check guests in. COOLNESS!

Oh god. The clock is ticking like it never did. Can time please stop?

I miss my mommmmm ): Saturday night!! :D

Best of luck to Mel&Sharon for their upcoming Korea comps! (: Rawk Seoul's dancefloor yeah? We love you!

I wished for things to turn to a better light but they never did. Blame it on fate cus I just gotta accept it that its not my week. Disgusting piece of shit. But what can I do?

I wanted to cry; to shout out to the world; to scream my lungs out; to do anything but stay put and watch things happen. Those words- Why did they come when my mind was alr in a whirlpool? Nevertheless, I can't and won't blame anyone.. Guess I'll just haveta see how things go till the day comes.

On a happier note, I went to chill at Cine's kbox ystd night with Val, Greg, Des, Darren and bestie and we sure had a fab time singing our hearts out! Hees. I like to sing (: And I reached home only at 2.3oam with kor sending the both of us back. Thanks a lot :D Oh and I noticed that there's an increasing no. of youngsters smoking and thats really bad. I mean, why do something which'll harm your health althou it may feel good?

So I'm supposed to be at S&G now but I decided to give night prac a skip today cus I'm drained from morning's lesson & all. Feel kinds guilty though.. ): So I shall go next week ((: Anyw today's lesson was a lil better but we seriously need a lot more prac to polish up our weaker parts. Gogo Rich! (: And btw, I bought a new pair of dance heels today at Cindini's. Brokeee-. Cheryl introduced the place to me so bestie & I decided to pop by cus I really need a pair of shoes with broader heels. The current one's horrible with ultra slim heels.

I seriously need to do my tutorials and catch up with schoolwork though its 6 weeks to Nationals. Arghh-

Before I go, I'd like to thank those who were there for me during this period of time. Love all of ya loads! :)

Tag replies:
Clar: Thankyou darling.. (:
Shijiao: Thanks juying.. :D I totally agree. And hack that ... in ur blog too kaes..

When your mood goes haywire, nothing seems to go well, nothing at all. Had a long day from 9-7 and I'm almost close to lying on my dearest bed now even though we had 4 hours of break in between. By the time we went for miec make-up lecture, everyone was on the verge of dozing off and I failed badly in concentrating. Try asking me what elasticity is and I'll reply you with ' responsiveness' cus that's the only thing I rmb/understand. Well done mel ((:

So yesterday's dance class wasn't that great. The lesson was more of a disappointment cos some unknown thing caused me to lose concentration and as a result, I made numerous mistakes and had to constantly be reminded of sharpness. Seriously speaking, I hadn't felt that way in dance before.. The mind seemed to had drifted away to a faraway land; leaving the soul in the real world. ):

On a more serious note, it's kinda annoying for one to speak about others on a 3rd person's taggie even though the anonymous may/may not be of a certain status. Afterall, the latter's of some standard and it wouldn't be nice if others see such comments. Keep it to yourself should you disapprove or are doubtful about certain areas cus there isn't a need to announce it to the whole world, and please understand that they're pple whom we truly support and look up to.

Anyway, we've started selling our competition tickets so please place your orders if you're free and would like to watching our Nationals @ NP's convention centre on Dec29th, 11am-11pm.( inclusive of 2 buffet meals, competition, performance & post x'mas + pre ny celebrations at night) Tickets at $20 for students and $30 for adults. (: Please tag me if you wish to order them, many thanks!

Mom's flying off to HK in 9 hours time and though its only 10 days, I'm sure gonna miss her.. Hopefully she'll enjoy her visit and return safely with the correct items on the shopping list. LOVE YOU MOMMY! :D

Sometimes I just don't see where that light lies in, where it glows and how far it'll be. Well this applies for many things, be it in studies, dance or whatsoever.

It's just that when circumstances strike, your hopes and thoughts kinda get affected. But at the same time, you learn to deal with them and after which, you grow to be a better person.

I don't know what's wrong with me but this is EMO SHIT. Moodswings come and go all the time for whatever lame reason and I just don't know why. Call yourself lucky if you've not met the emo melmel and to those whom I've thrown a temper at, I'd like to express a million apologies cause I really couldn't help it.

I told ya I have an attitude. A sucky one too at times.

And it looks like I'm gonna spend some time self-reflecting and thinking through things once again. So is it gonna be thoughts in chaos once again? Perhaps. perhaps. perhaps.

Maybe I just need some time for myself. I wonder when when I'll be able to travel around the world to my heart's desire happily without having to worry about anything. I wonder..

And time and again, I remind myself that, "I can do all things in Him who strengthens me." I know that God'll always be here for me when I need him, and that the love of God is like the ocean; you can see its beginning, but not its end.

My legs and body are aching as though I'm a rusty old freak from today's hiphop s&w and ystd's intensive dance lesson. Yea I'm exaggerating a lil but it sure is painful. I guess all of us who attended the technique lesson were shagged today due to lack of sleep and the proper use of muscles ystd night. But I haveta say that it’s a useful class & Mel&Sharon are really fabulous instructors! Have been reaching home past midnight these two days cus dance ended only near 11 last night and this evening, we went to celebrate teacher sharon's birthday at mich's condo. It was hell loadsa fun and I almost forgot that I haven't touched any of my tutorials for next week!

A record?

You bet.

And I'm doomed. Things are getting tougher and tougher and I don't seem to have the full understanding abt the topics. Esp Bstats. Shucks*. I gotta find time and catch up! Or else.. Say byebye to _____. What's worse is that the sicky flu bug has attacked me yet again after being sick-free for 3 days. The cough's a killer and I'm praying that I'll recover ASAP. But judging fr the fact that I took bbq food and cold drinks tonight.. ://

So anyways, it's freaky how fast time flies too. Its alr Nov 3rd, a month plus more to Nationals and we gotta work really hard. I know its tough but NPDS, we can and we will do it as ONE! Afterall, practice makes perfect! (:

I was looking through my friendster photos a while ago and I feel kinda blessed to have come to the right poly, course and cca cus these are the factors which have contributed to my wonderful life these 6 months. What more can I ask when I have a lovely class with a bunch of sweet girlfriends, an awesome CCA with great dancemates & instructors whom we treat as friends, the world's greatest parents, maintained good contact with some sec.sch cum PJ peeps, teachers and my BFF?

Then what about a boyfriend, you may ask. I personally feel that when it's time, things will eventually come but if its not, no matter how hard you try, they'll most prolly fail cus they just aren't meant to be. :)

And some idiotic guy knocked onto me last night near the road and the wheels dirtied/scratched my leg&arm a little. He didn't even apologise and just went off after stopping for a second. Thought I'll be hurt but thank God that only minor abrasions were caused. I can't imagine what'll happen if I were to have a serious abrasion again cus I won't be able to dance properly.

Alright, its time for some photos so enjoy! But before that,


A VERY HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO TEACHER SHARON (1st Nov) & YINA DARL! (3rd Nov)

Mom's going to HK in a week and I'm so envious of her! )): Though I passed her a longg shopping list, the trip back home still makes a difference cus you get to experience the homely feeling, shop to your heart's desire and visit relatives too. Oh boy, I seriously don't know when's my next trip back's gonna be. Next year? Or when I grad from poly?

I really miss my cousins and everythinggg there. ):

But all that I'm concerned about now is prolly studies and of course, dance. Competition's about to arrive and we should all be gearing up with increased no. of practices. Thursday nights are gonna be allocated to technique classes and I'm really hoping to get something out of the december comps. ((: Afterall, its gonna be held in home ground and it would only be right if NPDS owns most of the models. :D Jiayou to Mr.Rich & the rest of NPDS! ((: Loves!

Alrights, Bcomm class is ending and we're going to SIM for lunch. Cya darlings!
