Hellooo :)
havent been here so long that my tagboard is flooded by blogshops haha so weird.

Dance night is in ONE DAY! little less than 24 hours actually.
Oh gosh all im feeling is just fear because im not ready for it. D:
Really scared for fusion 2. Its really came a long long way, from being criticised like its worthless, till what we have now, something that we are proud of. Especially for the girls' part, been through storms man. Sighe! its all going to be over soon enough and all i hope now is for us to be able to be comfortable with ourselves, and enjoy the moment on stage performing the piece we own =] I remember the day i got picked to do fusion, I was sooo reluctant. But now at the end of the day, I guess it was a great experience. At least I know its a unique experience that only the fusion girls share, something special that is once in a lifetime, that the others would never know. Learning hiphop and looking like an idiot, stressing over being so sucky at it, stressing over being messy for modern, stressing over partnerwork. Laughing at weisheng when the guys first learnt the lift, his expression of fear is just super duper funny. all of their lameass jokes and funny faces, and retarded fruit basket unite game. memories memories! Fusion has been great, im not regretting it at all. Though im still sad that i dont get to do 'Seduction', but nevermind! Cant have it all. At least i got to know alot of nice people, got to know some lovelies alot more :) , learnt a new genre of dance, battled with the embarrassment to showcase it, and learnt how to work together. Been a great experience despite the immense stress its created along the way :)

Our months of hard work, not forgetting the whole appealing distress and unhappiness, and non-stop dance practices everyday is going to culminate into two nights of adrenaline. Dont really know whether to be sad or happy! I know im going to be very happy once its all over because i'll have my time and freedom back, but it is going to be sad because it will be the end of our journey of dance in MAD. and possibly the end of my role(??? for the lack of a better word) as a dancer. Im still going to dance but it just wont be the same anymore, especially cause being a mugger is the only option for the next few months. and after that, dont know what'll happen. maybe i'll dance outside but there probably wont be a chance to perform anymore.
I know im going to miss dancing, never liked doing anything else as much as this. Im going to miss modern alot alot alot alot alot. Our batch has been through so much, and have been bonded so much more from where we started last year. We had our last lesson together yesterday, almost cried. Im going to miss dancing with everybody :((((
At the end of this road Im really proud of myself, because all I have now as a dancer i have worked for it. Im so glad that by some miracle i was accepted into MAD. It is really amazing because it just so happened to be the only year Mr Dan needed a bigger batch if not i wouldnt have been in MAD, wouldnt have been able to start dancing and love it, or even got the chance to be dance ic. Im thankful for the people who've helped me, the people whove made MAD awesome, thankful for the opportunities.

Today was supposed to be a wonderful day, but it wasnt.
but tomorrow,
TranscenDANCE 2010 will be awesome possum! :)

Stressed out. I never felt so much like my head was gonna explode before.
Today was an off day for good A level results. Finally had time to mug.
But in the end, i spent my whole day in the dance studio and at city hall. Its not anybodys fault im just irritated at the fact that i have no time to do anything i want. i dont even have time to do what i dont want -mug.
Gonna have to travel for 3 hours tomorrow, waste my precious time on the train and bus
March holidays is just packed with dance. every single day except tuesday.
I hate it when i get lousy results not because i didnt study hard enough but because i dont have the time to.
It irks me when teachers sigh and go "you better study hard for your block tests!" because its not like i dont want to, but i dont get the chance to.

I wished i had more time
wished i had less stuff to do
wished my parents could be more supportive
wished i was super smart so i could ace without having to study.
But wishes never come true.

Back to reality.
Im going mad (pun intended)
I have lots of stuff to do.
I need to mug like crazy.
Its a terrible week and its not gonna get better

Hello world, whoever still comes here haha.
Gosh its been an emotional week. Dramafest just ended. Had a great time working with everyone, towards one goal. Though the results weren't what we have had liked, we've really tried our best and i guess that's all that matters, as people always like to say. Can't say there wasn't any disappointment or regret, but what's done is done and we've just got to pass down the lessons learnt to the juniors and help them achieve their best. That said, I'm just really thankful to all the people who've slogged their guts out for this. I've been playing a minor role in this whole process and am already very tired out, imagine what amanda, sl, hanjing, the cast, the dedicated crew, the dedicated seniors have been through. Its really cool to see people putting in so much effort, putting in their best for this common goal. So i dare say that even though someone else may have won the material prizes, we have gained far more solely based on the amount of effort that we've put in.

That in mind, i just wonder what i do things for. Why do i put in effort and get myself so tired? What is my purpose? Who am i doing it for?
Nowadays I just dont find joy in anything that i do anymore. Dancing is probably the only one sole thing that I am truly happy doing. The others are just out of a nagging guilt or a responsibility. Sigh. Life still goes on though.
Stress has been piling on. Especially with the release of A level results. You just see too many people being 'okay'. but i dont want to be just okay. I want a scholarship but its so difficult, seeing my grades now. I need to work hard but i dont have the strength to. Blocks are in 5 days, I havent started studying. well done. Not to mention that i've been lagging this whole term.
Its going to be a terrible birthday. Its the first time i feel so sad that my birthday is coming because i know its going to be a lousy one.

Oh gosh i feel like skipping school tomorrow
