Hey there, stranger! You have a moment?
Come here, you can sit right next to me.
Can you see the sunset over the horizon?
Can you smell the salt in the air?
Can you feel the breeze of the ocean, brushing through your cheeks?
So tell me, stranger, what do you see?
Because all I can see is the dark clouds hanging
Blown closer and closer to the edge of the cliff we're sitting on
It will be soon before the hurricane hits
Amidst the strong gales and thunder
I hope I'll still have the time to enjoy
The feeling of raindrops rinsing my body

Yeah, it's been awhile. Been getting so so busy and stressed up over stuff.
So what have I been up to for the past month?
The most obvious one is ,of course, studying for the upcoming Prelims. Been so freaking stressed over studies. I mean, I didn't go spectacularly well for block tests, did I? I really, really hope I am able to do well for Prelims and A-Levels, because I don't want to let my teachers, friends, parents and most importantly, myself, down. I believe most people are able to do well in their studies, and it's up to themselves to get the distinctions. So it's really up to me to get the 4As that I coveted for such a long time.
Other than that, I've been giving tuition for close to 2 months already. It's nice to have a supplement income to finance my expenses and dance. But I'm might consider to stop giving tuition because it's actually quite taxing, even though it's only once per week.
Been going for Ahmad's classes also. You guys can check out his videos on Facebook or Youtube. They are really damn dope. Here's some of them:
This one is one of my favourite choreos to dance to. Super-duper hard but super-duper fun. Hope you guys like it! It's "Geek In The Pink" by Jason Mraz.
This is another one that I liked too. A choreo to "Before It Began" by George Nozuka. Trust me, this is not as easy as it looks. Haha.
Also went for Ryan's classes. I'll let the vids do the talking, so here goes:
This one is a killer piece! And I can't do double spins! =( ARGH! But anyway, it was a very expressive piece and very contemp-like.
Moving on.....
I ALSO GOT INTO O SCHOOL RECITAL 2009!!! WHOO!!!
Congrats to all those that got in! Looking at the list, I am so EXCITED to be performing with so many of my dance friends from O School. My whole dance gang (Nik, Diana, Ie Ching, Huixian, Freddie, Brian) got in! Dope people like Luqman, Jeremy, Joey and Benjamin got in! And some of my coursemates like Jan, Andy and Theresa got in too! I can tell this is going to be a fun and memorable experience. This year's recital will be BIGGER and BETTER!
On the other hand, I do feel sad for people like Felicia and Nicholas because I think they deserved to get in. Ah well, I hope don't fret over it and be sad for too long. There's always another chance.I understand how they feel because I didn't pass the auditions last year too. But I managed to get the chance to perform because Daniel was nice enough to accomodate me. I guess they weren't so lucky.....
Jus got off the phone from talking with Nic.Tay and Ahmad. Basically, Ahmad asked a bunch of his students to perform for Dance Fest' 09 @ Esplanade, which is going to be held on October 25. I really, really, really want to join, but the training is twice per week, on Tuesday and Thursday nights. I'm fucking afraid that this will screw up my Prelims and most worrysomely, my A-levels. At the same time, I really need this to boost my portfolio, which is devoid of any internal CCA. ARGH!!! I need to give Ahmad a definite answer by tomorrow, latest. Sigh.
If I do take this up, I'll probably stop going for any open classes anymore. Still, I'll be dancing 3 nights per week, which means I need to study like hell during the morning and afternoon. Plus I have once per week tuition. Which means I probably won't have anymore free time. Do I want to be in this future? I wonder if I'm screwing myself in the ass.
If only I could see what's beyond the horizon.
