And this is too! its too beautiful. :)

Thank you for always being such an encouragement & support.

it means so much. :)

O School Recital!

this marks the end of what we have been working so hard for, for the past 3 months. :) its been no doubt an amazing journey. getting to know new people, learning a whole new choreography together, and bonding as a team. it has been a great privilege to be part of Jessica’s team of dancers and to be part of this choreography that speaks to me deeply. i’m so thankful that i got a chance to be part of it. :)

honestly this experience would not have been complete without a huge shoutout of thanks to my fellow dancers that worked so hard alongside me! to Vanessa, Calvin, Fred, Jacq, Donnie, Glenda, Amy, Milai, Yvonne and Wanxin. It has been no doubt an amazing experience! and of course to Puiman and JJ! i know yall are definitely supporting us all the way. :) thank you so much too! :)

i love it when we all come together to do things like celebrate Jessica’s birthday, and make all those gifts for her during the 3 recital shows! :) thank you for entrusting me with helping out with the cards n stuff and thank god they all looked good in the end! :) and thanks to amy who helped us get the gorgeous flowers. :) you are truly awesome! :)

Thank you guys for being so awesome! from Vanessa our nonsense girl who never fails to make us laugh, to the twins jacq and donnie! and our leopard girl who loves pink and is getting married soon, milai, and the rest of us with our funny personalities, all of us came together to share what we love most - DANCE. :) and i’m really just so honoured to be part of this with yall. :) always remember that you guys are AWESOME and AMAZING dancers, so never give up on what you believe in, always believe in yourself, and remember to shoot for the stars. :)

of course the biggest thanks ever, go to Jessica, for believeing in me. thank you so much for selecting me to be part of your FIRST EVER recital item! its been such an HONOUR. i have learnt so much, gone beyond so much of myself, and did things i’ve never done before or ever thought i could, and it was all thanks to you who helped to push me as well. :) thank you jess, for your great belief in me and for being such an awesome choreographer. :) i love you jess!

aside from just dancing, i have learnt so so so much more. thank you for giving me the opportunity to help out in whatever way i can, be it with costumes, make up, to helping you out liasing with the dancers, etc… it has helped me to grow and to learn as well. :) its my joy to see your vision come to life, because as a dancer, i would love to try my very best to make my choreographer’s vision come to life, and i hope i did! :)

i’ve also learnt so much going costume shopping with you, chatting with you, which just makes this even more worthwhile for me. :) you’ve really shown me what it is to live your dreams and to pursue them. thank you so much for that. :) and whenever i am feeling super down or feel discouraged about my dancing, i will always turn to your letter and re-read the third and fourth paragraphs over and over again. :)

another big thank you goes out to all the supporters who came down to watch! thank you so much! when i was lying on stage waiting for the music, and i here all the cheering, i didn’t even know so many people i knew were coming! haha. so thank yall so much. yall are so so so awesome. :)

TPDE - we have like 50 over people performing IN recital alone, and yet we have so many that come to watch! haha. thank you so much juniors n all for coming down to support. i love love love yall beyond words! :) nothing can describe how much i love yall! thank you for all the love! :) GEMS 6 YAHHH!

thank you to all those that gave me comments and feedback because its truly an honour to hear all that coming from you all especially when i know i still have so much to work on. thank you for being proud of me, and i’m proud of myself for not giving up as well. :)

i really experienced the intense emotion of the choreography on the first night which left me in good happy tears. :) and i really didn’t want to cry, but it was just really overwhelming. :) i’ve never felt like that before, but i believe its a good start to many great things. i would love to feel that way again, totally immersed in the dance and choreography till you are one with the movement and music. it is the most amazing feeling ever. thank you yvonne for sharing that with me. i know exactly how you feel. :) ♥

and thank you to God who really made everything possible. from the start to the en he was my stronghold when i was feeling discouraged or weak or even nervous. :) jesus made everything better. :) thank you daddy god, for this whole entire experience. it was truly a dream come true. :) you’ve blessed me with feet and i use them to glorify you through dance and thats what i’ll keep on doing. :)

i believe that recital is only the beginning of greater things to come, and i’m excited for my future thats in store for me. :) this experience made me realize that i must always remember to NEVER stop dancing. no matter what happens or how i feel, i must never give up on what i love doing the most. ♥ :)

so to end off, here is the video of the item! :D

This is the item i was in - Contemporary Jazz by Jessica.

MISS YALL SO MUCH! ♥♥♥♥

i’d rather jump and fall, than never jump at all…
its not over, till i say its over…

Sober

And I don't know

This could break my heart or save me

Nothing's real

Until you let go completely

So here I go with all my thoughts I've been saving

So here I go with all my fears weighing on me

Three months and I'm still sober

Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers

And I don't know

I could crash and burn but maybe

At the end of this road I might catch a glimpse of me

Three months and I'm still breathing

Been a long road since those hands I left my tears in but I know

It's never really over, no

Three months and I'm still standing here

Three months and I'm getting better yeah

Three months and I still am

Three months and it's still harder now

Three months I've been living here without you now

Three months yeah, three months

Three months and I'm still breathing

Three months and I still remember it

Three months and I

Three months and I'm still sober

Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers...

- Sober, Kelly Clarkson

"The song was inspired by Clarkson's friend Calamity McEntire, who told her to "pick her weeds and keep the flowers". According to Clarkson the song is about survival and knowing what to do when something goes wrong. "It's not easy getting over whatever your addiction may be," she says. "The whole point of that song is, the temptation is there, but I'm not going to give in to it." Clarkson added that "Sober" is her favorite song on My December. "Musically, it's almost hypnotic. You just get lost in it, it's just so beautiful. This song is about surviving something you think you can get past or over. I'm not an alcoholic; that's not what it's about. It's just a metaphor. Everyone has something they are addicted to that they can do without in their life, so it could be about whatever your addiction is."

Boys & their flowers

i'm seriously crazily in love with this Korean drama, Boys over Flowers, 花より男子.

Omg yes i know i have confomed to the Kpop-dom of society. but being a mega huge fan of the Taiwan drama, Meteor Garden, i just had to watch this. (albeit its quite late i enter into the hype when its sort of 'dying' out already.)

i actually did not ever want to get sucked into those drama induced shows where you have to keep on watching because you want to know what's next and before you know it, its already like 6am? haha. but i survived and did all that with this show, and to think it started with me accidentaly watching it on channel U, then i couldn't stop and needed to know what was going to happen to Jan Di next! haha

well, i must say i am SUPER impressed with this version. from the casting, to the acting, to the location, to the filming and even the storyline (cos it was slightly different from the Taiwan version) but nonetheless, i loved everything about it. :D and i can safely say i love it even more than the Taiwan version! XP

okay so here is the summary in a diagram format of the show:

the casting was amazing! with Li Min Ho (Jun Pyo), Kim Hyun Joong (Ji Hoon), Kim Bum (Yi Jung) and Kim Joon (Woo Bin) as the leading F4, Goo Hye Sun as Jan Di, the 'San Cai' of the series and of course her best friend Kim So Eun as Ga Eul, the 'Xiao You'.

no doubt Korean guys are HOT, but these four are just toooo cute. i am exceptionally taken by Kim Bum and his cute baby face, Li Min Ho, with his looks and of course Joong, for being so suave. haha. i really cannot get over it!

throughout the show however, i really felt that the Joong's character as Ji Hoon, the 'Hua Ze Lei' of the show was really well played and he definitely had a lot more screen time than zai zai ever had! i also really saw a relationship develop between him and Jan Di. in this show, she seemed so much happier when he was around, and he was such an important person in Jan Di and Jun Pyo's relationship! if he wasn't around they would not have happened! :D i guess there are really those gaurdian angels out there.

this show also highlighted a lot of things about friendship. :) i really liked how F4 stuck though thick and thin, and through all the drama and girls. hahaha. how Jun Pyo and Ji Hoon's friendship is so strong, that even though they sort of fell in love with the same girl, they still maintained their friendship and knew what was best for each other and her.

it also makes you wonder - where on earth do you find a guy like Jun Pyo! so innocently niave and sweet! and he really cares so much about the girl he likes! ahhh. where got guy like this i also want. :( haha. i Jan Di is really so lucky, she gets the leading guy, and his best friend as her guardian angel. how awesome can that be please. hahaha :D

i also love Yi Jung and Ga Eul's relationship! its so much better than the other one in the Taiwan Meteor Garden. you can actually see the development, and how he actually sorta likes her, and i love in the teaser continuations, he actually did ask her to be his girl! awww so sweet! plus its KIM BUM, who is so damn cuteeeeeee! :D

nonetheless i love this show cos the ending was super awesome and COMPLETE. gosh no cliffhangers! thank god! love it. :) so i really recommend x 1,000,000,000 to go watch it if you haven't! i'm waiting till after exams to watch Personal Taste! hehehe

oh and here are some of the like 'continuations' of after the BOF series, i exceptionally love the one on Yi Jung and Ga Eul (Kim Bum and So Eun) *Gleams*

this one is the Samsung ad, i thought it was so cute and clever!

oh snap.

today’s just one of those days you know?

sigh. well, things have yet to turn uphill in such a way, and there are some times i feel slightly worried. i just don’t know how to go about doing things. is it me, you, them, they, it, us? so many things.

on a downer, i lost my phone. i presume it got stolen, and i’ve been pretty sore about it for awhile already. i feel as though it was my lifeline. now i don’t have one. i dont have answers to everything at the click of a button. i don’t have a lot of access to things immediately, and honestly, sometimes that irritates me.

but i’ve come to realise that there’s really more to life then being absorbed in your phone. haha. really. relying only on calls, and sms-es and even on limited contacts. but either way, i know i’ll survive. see, technology is limited. :)

so in a way its been a lesson for me too. :) simplicity is really what makes life tick, and i’m glad i found that. :)

on top of all this, work has been piling up like crazy! and in a way, i’m so unmotivated. i’m sort of motivated to do other things, but i’m not really motivated to certain things! i’m more excited about the things to come. like i’m going to graduate in like 3 months! (but not before a tonne of assignments and exams!) i’m sorta excited but not really.

i miss dancing. i feel as though i’ve neglected that bit of me recently. :( i guess distance plays a part, but i’m always torn between going or staying and doing work and weighing which is more important. :/ sigh. nevermind. i always keep telling myself, just chiong study, and then i can chiong dance. :D

christmas is coming too. :) that makes me slightly happier really. just seeing the atmosphere and everything, makes it all a bit lighter. :) i’m rather glad that my aunty is back this year with the little girl. she makes me smile. haha. kids are really a joy sometimes. :)

so hopefully this christmas and new year, i’ll get my phone miraculously restored (thank you jesus!) i’m not planning on settling for anything less. :)

Happy Holiday’s Everyone! :D

Shoot for the ★!

I guess 518 journeys are good for one reason - it allows me to think about the days activities and what things struck me. :)

Today despite it being nonetheless tiring, I had a lot of fun at rehearsal! Although it is probably our last informal rehearsal before the show on saturday, I really just can’t imagine how fast time has flown by.

I remember us being a group of strangers, who are now a closer group of friends! If we’re ever hanging around o school, we won’t be strangers anymore. :) which I’m really glad about. This past year, o school has been my second home.

All the moments after work that I’ll just rush over cos I just can’t imagine being anywhere else! It was my safe sanctuary where I was always happy doing what I love the most. :)

I’m glad that I had the opportunity to take part in recital. :) this year, I believe I’ve seen myself grow quite a fair bit in dancing and everything, and I’m so glad that I dedicated this year alongside everything else to focus on dance. I guess it’s really one of the only things that keeps me going, gives me a soul and a life. Without it, I feel so empty!

I’m proud of myself for coming so far, I remember earlier this year attending ryan’s & jessica’s classes were quite challenging for me. When I watch the videos I’m like ‘omg I dance like that?’ now when I watch all the shoot for the stars rehearsal videos I see a different girl dancing. :) and I’m proud of myself for coming so far. :) I’m really happy.

The conversations I had today really struck me. Like when Sarah was talking about priorities changing when your older and everything. It’s just all so true. For me, the only thing on my mind is my career after I graduate and what do I want to do with the rest of my life! All these bigger questions you now have to answer, and are more important than - so do you have a boyfriend. Like that doesn’t often cross my mind. Maybe because it’s not a huge priority now. And also cos I believe that if it happens it happens. You can’t force it to happen. So while waiting focus on the things that you can make happen! Like your dreams! :)

I was also privileged enough to be in on a conversation when Ryan was talking about what sets people a part from others. I guess sometimes I overlook certain things that he highlighted that was so important.

Why some people are more successful than others, why even the best dancers don’t make the best stage managers, why others are more respected than some. I guess it all boils down to attitude.

My mindset is that if I’m really passionate about something I will put my everything into making it work. And especially if it’s another person’s vision the more I want to see what she sees and make that come to life. I also don’t like to settle for anything less.

And it just takes the initiative of one person to make everything worthwhile, and I feel that if u put the extra effort, you gain so much more than the offered experience. I’ve learnt so much more other than dance during this whole recital journey! :) I’ve learnt so much working with Jessica and I believe it’s also about the attitude in which how much more you want to learn and gain from this. And I know that the true experience was going through the thick, thin and everything in-between. :)

I’m glad I got the opportunity to be in jessica’s item. Cos I know there’s a reason why I’m placed in it and why I was positioned to learn the things that I learnt. Now for the last lap! :) it’s time to really shoot for the stars! :)

‘Maybe if I, shoot for the stars, I’ll hit the moon.
Anything, anything.
Give me a chance I won’t refuse.
Anything, anything.
Whether I win, whether I loose,
I’d rather jump and fall, then never jump at all’

mouthful of diamonds

"People get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. we're always thinking that some day we'll be happy, like when we get that car, that job or that person in our lives that will fix everything. but happiness is a mood and its a condition not a destination, its like being tired or hungry, its not permanent. it comes and goes and thats okay. and i feel like if people thought of it that way, they'd find happiness a lot more often.

so you think its okay to be a little miserable every now and then even when you have great things in your life?

is it okay to feel a little hungry now and then?"

-OTH

happiness is a mood, not a destination. i like that.

somehow i've come to this stage, where i just feel like i'm getting mixed feelings. about myself, and from others.

i tried my best dancing my best already. but sometimes i just feel its never good enough. you look at certain people, and they have it. they always just have it. even if they do everything wrong they still have it. and sometimes i just wonder why i don't have it. :( and no matter how hard i try, i will never be good enough, or even so, its just never consistent.

i know i already have confidence issues, and i really try not to let that show, but somehow i don't know why, i just cant be a good dancer. and i really wonder why. maybe i feel intimidated, or there are so many different reasons. but i just want to feel like im sort of going uphill, but now, i just really don't know. and there's only me i can take it out on. :(

& even if this is the case, how if i wanna make this my career? how how how? i feel so demoralised i really don't know what to do. and what a crappy time to feel like this with recital a week a away. :(

i guess all i can do is try my best, but i don't want to feel as though i keep trying, but i still don't improve, i really wont be happy dancing already and i will want to just quit. as much as i know thats not the right attitude, but after so long, i guess thats how i feel and what i'd want to do.

but then life's to short. i need to dance, for the love of it, for myself, and for jesus. i need to know that nothing else matters. jesus gave me the feet, i will use it to dance. even if people don't think i'm good enough. i need to find my soul, and i'll find it somehow somewhere, but jesus, you anoint me, and make me the best because only you can. i will take my eyes off myself and focus on you, cos its you who cause me to shine, and no one else. :)

time to do what i always do, pick myself up, and move on to greater and hopefully bigger things. :)

i guess, certain things can make us happy, but we all struggle sometimes you know?

im still alive

okay i know i said i'll update, but i like to procrastinate. lol.

anyway...

the past few months have been rather busy. internship etc... totally sucked my life away. especially on cyberspace. so hence, i have not been really blog active. oh well. i have yet to feel compelled to write something meaningful though.

i guess a few highlights here n there for the past few months would definitely be O school recital! trainings have been weekly, and guess what! at this point, its only 3 more weeks to the actual show! i'm so nervous yet excited but i'm just really thankful for the opportunity. its really been an amazing journey working with the dancers in jessica's item, and working with her. omg i have learnt so much! :)

i feel so blessed for the opportunity to do her item, to be part of her choreography and to be pushed to greater limits. i learnt a lot more different things, and execution as well. i think the recital is going to be a blast after going through all the vettings. :) i'm really really excited!

on top of that, i got into NUS Dance Ensemble. its been a really enriching journey as well, and i've been feeling myself grow for the past month having trainings under them. 3 hours of Luigi, across the floor and choreo. its been REALLY challenging. seriously, i have never pushed myself so much in such a long time, but i guess its a good challenge. and i'm glad that im getting the exposure that i am looking for to expand on my dancing as well. i really hope i get to do Evocation! ahhhhhh.

this year has been by far the danciest year ever! cos of my internship office which is located just beside scape, i swear, i have been so motivated to go for classes every week! and im so glad for that too. :) this year i have really dilligently attended ryan's monday class and jessica's thursday class, most of the weeks! :) im so happy and proud of myself! yay! :) and i wanna continue to do so even though there's school. :)

oh yea, and school has started. we just ended the first week of school. even though my timetable is awesome and i only have a 3 day week! (no school on tuesday and thursday!) i believe the workload is gonna be CRAZY. with the marketing modules and the law module. omgggg... jesus i really need you! i wanna push through this sem, and graduate with a good GPA! :D

and i still have dance stuff thats on my plateeee! this year, has by far been the BUSIEST. i have tonnes of stuff to do/think about, but whenever i have free time, i just wanna sleep or catch up on my gossip girl, glee, one tree hill, criminal minds and 90210. hahahah. oh wellll.....

i will update more with photos and stuff soon! especially with the YOG update, and omg... GEMS! i have yet to update on the previous GEMS concert! zonks. and since now i have an AMAZING IPHONE 4! which i love so much, cos it has saved my ass in so many situations, i will try to do blogging on the go! hahhaha. :) but i still love my macbook! :)

okay till soon for the full update! :)

To the ends of the earth

I know this blog has been crazy stagnant, but a lot of things have changed in the past months that I haven't been updating. (I wi be updating in time to come though)

I took a long hiatus mainly because of internship. For me which was 6 months! It was uber long, but I'm finally done and back on cyberspace! :)

As much as I can't blog about my job, it was definitely rewarding in most of it's part. I gained a lot of experience and one thing it has definitely taught me, is that in future, its important to find a job that I love, in an area I'm passionate about. :) and through this I found it and I realized what I want to do after I graduate! :)

I'm quite excited about my future career path. And I think it'll be quite interesting. And I'm actually more interested to go back to school! :)

On top of that, I've seriously danced the most over the past 6 months having my office so near *scape is beyond awesome. I've learnt so much and grown so much in dance. :) I also finally finally FINALLY joined NUS DE! After so many years! Haha. I'm excited to grow more in this area as I get exposure to the different instructors! It's exciting! I must must be hardworking and to keep pushing!

I also got in O school recital auditions! :) I'll be performing jessica's item! :) I'm so honored and excited at the same time! I'm super grateful for the opportunity! :)

I also danced for the FIRST EVER YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES! haha it was such an amazingly awesome experience! Which I will never trade for the world! :) (I will blog in more detail about this! Haha)

I'm so glad for the opportunities that Jesus has really given me. Especially in dance and I'm forever grateful. Everything happens for a reason!

Will update more soon! :):):)

im encouraged, yet i know the road ahead is really not going to be smooth. i'm sorta prepared. i just really hope that we will make things better and continue to spread the love of dance. :)

also, during vetting the week before, i actually sprained my ankle. like really badly. but thank you so much everyone, for your support. in carrying me, piggybacking me back and forth, thank you for really helping me through. even though i couldnt dance for awhile, im glad that i had friends who really supported me (literally) all the way.

love yall so much! MWAHS!

ahh grace grace jesus. :)

Dance Training + Camp!

This week is intense, cos its DANCE TRAINING in preparation for concert. :)

we finally had time to start on our individual choreographies and i'm doing 2 items for this upcoming concert, and i'm dancing in 3 groups of people's choreos which are mel & JJs choreo and Xueying, brenice and Kevon's, as well as Badd'smannequin item! :)

on wednesday was our 'vetting' where ryan wanted to look at all the different items so that he can have a feel of where to place them in the flow of our concert. it was pretty intense and everything though. we talked to ryan after that and i'm really glad he's so approachable and really teaching us some ethics about choreography. :) i am learning a lot from this wonderful man. :) on the down side, he didn't really like the song i chose though as it was difficult to put into the concert flow, hence i went on a crazy song hunting spree and managed to find a few very interesting soundtracks which i enjoy listening to! :)

so by friday, i had a change of song! and my first rehearsal with mydancers were during dance camp which was over the weekend! its our first dance dance camp where we actually get to stay over. but its more or less a training camp for all of us and not so much fun fun. so i'm prepared to be worked hard! haha.

Post traininggggg!

friday was our official camp starting day, and it all started off with us watching GEMS 4 and some of GEMS 3. :) it was so good to reminisce n all, but i think everyone was so tense cos we were more worried about our individual items. :( we managed to dance our hearts out, choreograph and had make up workshop which was rather fun!xueying almost won! (i did her make up!) but it was the most 'perfect' and close to the example as possible. :) i'm so glad! haha. i really put a lot of effort into it! :)

Make up group! whoo hoo!

then sleep time before the next day where we died during PT and had a yum yum breakfast. :) loved it! haha. after that, we went to make the cardboard stuff for our mannequin costume and then went to go enjoy the rest of the day dancing away. :) eventually got some work done for my item and really called it a day when i headed home. :) was so tired but thankful that everything was moving along and smoothly. :)

such a sports day picture!

sun is glaring in our eyes!

the next 2 weeks are gonna be KILLER INTENSE. jesus, i speak your favour over everything we do, on all our items and through every rehearsal. this is your production not ours and it can only be good, because of YOU. :) thank you jesus. you stretch us. :)

POST EXAM PARTY!

FINALLY EXAMS ARE OVERRRRR! :)

i'm actually so glad, relieved and overjoyed! the past week has definitely been immense and tough, but I SURVIVED :)


monday was our MEP exam. considering it was our first exam, and that it was about technical computer and software stuff, i think we all did our best. :) haha. i remember going in there staring at the paper and nothing i studied about AE came out. all the motion stuff all came out which sucked so bad. but nonetheless, i believe my God is faithful and will see me through. headed home, and started on film!


watched moulin rouge and so many others and read through my notes the final time in preparation for the film paper the next day, and when i stepped into the exam hall, i could not stop writing. i love film and i love writing about them and i really enjoyed the exam on the whole. :) i am so glad i took this elective! i wanna maintain the A! :)


went home and chiong studied CCC. honestly i really was super determined to do really well for this paper. because of all the crap that happened during this subject, i was super super determined to pass it with an A or a B. :) i don't care. my god is bigger than my circumstances. :) so i literally studied throughout the night and everything, relying on sheer determination of not failing. and of course, looking forward to the post exam party! :D


so heading to the sports complex was nerve wrecking, finding my seat amongst the sea of people (thank god i was behind liwei!) and finally taking the paper and completing it. i was beyond relieved. :) and everything i studied came out too! :) praise god! so yea. i was so relieved exams were OVER! :D


waited with the rest for alethea who had to take her radio skills test, and off we were back to my place for mahjong, pizza, nail polish and homemade bubble tea! :) i'm so glad i have these awesome people to enjoy my post holidays with. :) happiness ttm! :) haha. played, laughed and enjoyed ourselves. it was such a good de-stress. :)

Our Goofy Faces! :)

Nail Polish! :)

Thursday, Glenda and i went SHOPPING. like finally. scouring through FEP, ION and every part of town. went to buy SHOES and try on HIGH HIGH heels at new look. finally checked out 313 and everything else. so glad i have a friend like you dear. :) lovessss ttm! and after everything, we met the rest at Iluma to play L4D! omg it was super funnnn! haha. first time and had tonnes of fun being infected and killing people. :) i really enjoyed myself man. haha even Glenda the techno noob enjoyed killing zombies with all of us. :D


friday night i headed to timbre! had yum yum food and great music. had a yummy strawberry mojito which i will totally go back for. love it loads. what a great way to end the week before saturday where we headed back to school to choreo for concert. :) i can't wait to start dancing again and CONCERT. :) so exciting!


it was an awesome post exams relax and rejuvenation before actually starting our hardcore concert trainings, can't wait for concert. :)

JESUS YOU ARE WITH ME. :)

AMEN :D

OMG I HAVE FOUND MY DREAM CAR. :)

its so pretttyyy! & they have this in Deep Violet Purple as well! but i couldn't find the picture! :( however, i think that this colour suits me better, if not i'd really totally get the deep purple. :)

will consider this once i start making money, but i believe my God is ever so faithful. :)

haha, but first off, to actually start learning how to drive! need to get my PDL and call up the instructor soon! :)

THANK YOU JESUS!

i claim this in your name. :)

the only reason why i can pass everything on my first try is only because of jesus. :)

study week

well nonetheless,

i believe it has been a more or less productive study week.

on saturday i had dinner with the family. the chinese new year dinner was quite international! haha. we were having bulgogi and curry amidst the normal chinese food! so it was pretty fun! and it was like we were having our own teeppnyaki thingy on the table! mad fun! :) thank you grandparents and parents for the angbaos! not forgetting aunty nana.

Sunday was CNY + Valentines day! but guess what, i went to STUDY. haha. met Glenda at the airport, and we sat at TCC chilling, talking and STUDYING. :) i got all the CCC notes that i need! yay. and then i gave her this chocolate heart cos it was valentines day! :) bought from candy empire and then i gave them to my family at home as well. :) after that she got me this kinder joy thing that came with the toy. glenda's vday present to me! haha. I LOVE YOU TOO BABE! :D

YUMMY YUSHENG!

next day i went to TM to get lunch and omg tampines has never looked more like a GHOST TOWN ever. it was so empty and so deserted and so lifeless! there was even garbage flying around like you see in those movies like resident evil n all in the deserted town! haha. but it was SO EMPTY. i went home, and farhanah spontaneously decided to drop by (considering we stay so near each other) and we had a study date! dissected Moulin Rouge together :) it was really good. :)

tuesday we had yum yum super D steamboat dinner at Alene's place! felt so awesome to catch up with everybody and to really eat good food! they were so sweet! :) they bought a lot of golden mushrooms cos they know i was coming! LOL. haha. but i love my friends that love me so much to remember all these. :) haha. guys, i love yall! no doubt. after that we had rounds of taboo, before chatting off the night away! :) great heart to hearts! love yall so much! and thank you alene's mom for the angbao! i feel so loved! :)

wednesday the girls all came over for our film theory movie marathon! starting at 9am in the morning, where glenda came banging on my door at 845 am! soon followed by Andrea, Sherrie, Liwei, Alethea and Farhanah. lol. started the day with Wizard of Oz, Hero, Breakfast Club and Moulin Rouge. we also had a pit stop with Macs for lunch. haha. LOVED IT. it was a really awesome productive day, with 7 brains contributing to film theory! hahaha. it was really fun too! :)

after that we had to go to school for Ryan's meeting! it was nerve wrecking yet awesome. :) we reshuffled our dancers and decided to draw lots for our dancers, basically they pick their own fate. :) haha. but i'm really happy with my dancers. :) i believe all of them have the potential to be great, and i'm super excited to start working with them. :) i was so motivated by ryan's talk, and his super awesome story telling skills and i'm SO EXCITED about the storyline of this concert! i love the concept and believe it! SO GO TPDE! :D

either way, ryan stayed back to listen to the songs that we chose for our choreos, and then after that we proceeded to ang kiong for dinner cos mel n i were hungry. haha. it was good to hear ryan, gin and jessica there too! :) it was a fun dinner. after that we headed home! was tired, but OH SO INSPIRED. cant wait till exams are over!

i literally wasted my whole thursday away thinking, dreaming and breathing of dance! getting inspired, feeling the songs, sigh, i love it so much. totally had no mood to study! even though it was still a nagging feeling at the back of my mind. i think it was WAY BACK in my mind, dance was literally flooding my brain! haha.

friday was also another slack/study day. went back to school to meet liwei. we went to the maclab to play around with the MEP softwares to prepare for our exam on monday, after that we exchanged notes and stories before heading off. :) haha. went back home to study a bit more and watch some good old TV. :)

saturday was also stay home and study day, but i headed out to meet my mom for lunch and then dad for dinner. considering i have not seen them for the past week, i headed to meet them to spend time with them. did not go for service cos i really wanted to spend time with mom and to study. talked to mom a lot while roaming around parkway n all. it was fun. :) i love my mom :) haha. and spent time watching some movie with scarlet johanssan in it at my dad's place before heading home. :)

playing with the panorama function in my phone camera! damn cool!

sunday i didn't go for service too, cos i decided to stay home and focus on studying some more. MEP, Film and CCC exams three days in a row. THANK YOU JESUS, because i leave it all in your hands, favour and grace surrounds me, and wherever i go, favour follows me. my papers are set apart for his glory. it is a step above everyone else, cos it is crowned with the glory of god. :) i will be excited and thankful i am able to even take the exams. :) and jesus, its all up to you. :) you know how much i've put so much effort into this semester, it will end off on a good note. i will see my above 3 GPA. :) thank you jesus, and in jesus name i claim it. :) AMEN. :)
