I'm Amanda. 20. I dance and I run.
Graduated from Leisure and Resort Management,
but I have no idea what I want from life yet.
Don't judge me.
avoiding
Sunday, March 28, 2010 @ 11:25 PM
I've been running away from everything in front of me. Telling people I'm
okay but the fact that i'm not. I don't know what i've got to do right now, to
believe in people who know me my entire life or to believe in myself. When
presented with only one option that you're unwilling to take or afraid to go,what would you do? When the choice is in fact, not even up to you to decide.When it actually is a road laid out beautifully like icing on a cake. Is it really all that important, why do you keep questioning me? I'm really tired, to hold myself together, to make my stand and to try to live my life the way i want it. Why do you keep creating obstacles when it is all not necessary? Why can't you make it easier for me? You feel like i have it easy, you feel like i'm really useless don't you? Sick and tired of all the things that you say. I think you pretty much view as no future. Maybe it's true because i don't even have faith in myself anymore. Just do what you want. I pretty much give up on going against. I just want everything, all of these, to stop right now.
choosing
Friday, March 26, 2010 @ 11:58 PM
The choice is mine to make and no one else.When you're presented two things that you love equally how am i suppose to make a choice, choosing one over the other. It's nearly impossible. I thought i could let one go, but after almost a year it doesn't seem possible. I still miss the other, i still want it. If the timing is good, everything would be in place. In life, you don't always get what you want. Probably, that's why life ain't easy. The times when i'm not feeling the music and dance, it's the time when i'm questioning myself, can i really dance? Am i meant to do this? I know sports is in my blood, i definitely can do it without much difficulty if i work hard. But, what about dance? When i look at myself in the mirror, i feel like an idiot. Really, because i feel like i look like an absolute retard. I'll just leave it to time i guess. I think i'm just unlucky because the life i have and the road i'm taking or have chosen to take is more difficult than any other i have taken so far.
whip it!

Let me start by saying, please ignore my previous so called "emo" post. i don't even know who on earth i was talking about. Anyone who feels i am talking about them, please do not take it to heart, i'm probably just scolding thin air because i really no idea who it was directed to.

Moving on, today i went out with Divya and Mei Xian aka Kayla. We decided to watch Whip It, it was a totally AWESOME movie! Please go and watch it! After that we just walked around aimlessly because we have no idea what to do. After D left, K and I were walking around Raffles City because she wanted to get a bag. She didn't want to go home without a new bag. At the end of the day, her mum didn't allow her to buy a new bag, i ended up getting a bag that she was considering for the price of $55.90. I think it was on impulse somehow, i do like the bag and definitely in need of a bag that is approximately that size(small). It's from Assessorize. Everything is so expensive there. I'm surprise i even bought something from there. I saw a pouch that i really like, which looks like it's worth $5. It actually cost $21.90. Thank goodness i did not buy it. K suggested we should go Daiso. Maybe we should.

That's all for update, hope tomorrow will be a good day.

what's happening these days
is me or is it people around me
i try to ignore it
push the feeling away
but it seems all i've been trying to do
is run away from the truth.
i feel so forgotten these days
it really sucks when you treat people as your friend
and they treat you like a nobody
sometimes i wonder are you really my friend?
or are you just saying it cause i'm there?
or for the sake of saying it?
i rather people just tell me straight to my face
then give me some shitass lies or treat me non-existence
when i'm just right in front of your fucking face.
really, if you don't want me there just tell me,
saves your time and mine.
applies to all.
i don't want to be an idiot, who is obviously not welcome
and there getting cold shoulders.
it's been weeks, really i hate it.
and you think i'm stupid not to know anything?
you guys are the ones that saying the latest happenings in front of me
and you guys can go "oh no one tell you?"
please stop being a hypocrite and get the fuck away.
shedding tears, god knows whether is it real
and the whole world just surround you
you've got every fucking shit in your life
i have nothing, not even a full family at home for 5 minutes.
when i cry no one sees, no one knows.
what i have is my pillow, bolster, bed and an empty house to lean on.
friends or no friends, i really don't even know who are my friends
i trust only the closest, the ssp.
cause i know you guys got my back.
laugh all you want, is it really that funny, come to think of it.
just fuck my life.really.
it would really be awesome if it ends right now.

Update: GEM 5 and Flair Production
Monday, March 22, 2010 @ 9:41 PM
haven't been updating.
so now i shall do a long post to make up for it.
Friday and Saturay was GEM 5 : The Labyrinth, TPDE production
We only had 2 weeks plus to 3 weeks, to prepare for the concert
it was scary, stressful, painful and definitely exhausting.
complains, grumbles and unhappiness about everything existed of course,
because not only do we have to worry about dance and formations,
also the props, which were huge and complicated.
but i'm really happy that we made it!
we put up a pretty good show for the audience!(:
really have to thank a lot of people, cause without them
i never would have make it, neither the concert.
i don't know how long i would be in TPDE,
but really enjoyed this concert.

1) Ryan, Gin and An An
Thank you for helping to put everything together with the transitions and all.
For giving us awesome advices to help us improve.
Also, constantly motivating each and everyone,
making concert less stressful and more fun.

2) TPDE
Everyones' effort, regardless in props or dance played a part into making GEM 5 a success. It has been a wonderful and memorable journey. Maybe due to the time constraint of the concert, it brought us closer and stronger than before.
Thank you(:

3) Choreographers: Joey, Jun Wei, Keith and Shauna
Thanks for everything you have taught me.
I learnt a lot of stuff from each of you.
and would really look forward to learning from you guys again, if there are other chances
(:

4) Bro and Sis.
you probably know who you guys are, maybe you don't feel special.
but in some ways, you guys are, inside my heart.
for fun, laughter, sadness or tiredness, we share with each other.
grumbles and worries we share it too.
i know i can always count on you guys.
Thank you so much for everything, for always being there whenever things happen.
May our love for dance continue to grow and all of keep dancing together(:

5)) K/MX, N, D, G and M
Thank you guys for coming down to support(:
though it's not a track competition, maybe it's something you probably don't really know how to appreciate. but really appreciate that you make the effort to come and watch me perform, for always supporting me no matter what decisions i make.
i don't know if i'll ever get back on the track, but if i don't. i know you guys will be there always.
MX, N and D, friends till the end yeah? i remember we always talk about when we grow old and our teeth falls, we'll laugh about all the nonsense we do in our teens.haha!

6) Everyone that came to support or gave moral support
Thank you(: greatly appreciate it!

Putting aside GEM 5, i watched Flair Nation Production on Sunday
It was a prety good showcase i got to say.
Good job guys(: Really improved from the last time i saw all of you(:
went to eat with the poppers after that! fun fun(:
after train-ing to bugis, saw Mei Qi, Jean Tan, Ah foong and Timothy at the bus stop
they look so tired cause of the i am the system vetting!
rest well guys!

i didn't go anywhere today, stayed home the whole day
it rained heavily, which was really sad!
but oh well, it was a good rest day(:
update soon. toodles people!
GEM 5
Friday, March 19, 2010 @ 1:12 AM
probably a short post.
it's late i know.
GEM 5 is like later, i'm not ready
well at least i feel my item isn't
but still we have to chiong and try to put up a good show
don't know what to be scared of
but it'll be a good experience
really dreading the make up part.
anyway, thank you to those who are coming!
and those giving moral support
appreciate it.
and goodbye world, for now.
i'm just throwing all the bad stuff aside for now.
still here
Sunday, March 14, 2010 @ 11:00 PM
it's gonna be a crazy week. I hope i'm ready. I really don't know how ready i am cause sometimes people forget about you, and the feeling is really horrible, it feels like you're being used, and kicked aside, left forgotten. I know what it feels like, and i suppose it's happening again. Just constantly hoping for the best.

I bought a new camera today at the IT fair. $500. oh well. I manage to get my refund from studio wu, so i'm quite relieve in a sense. I'm still trying to think of a place where i can learn house dancing.

Long week, i suppose i should get my beauty sleep. May the night fall beautifully before the sun rise once again. Toodles and i shall update soon.
i wish i could say
12:11 AM
I really wish to say " i had a great day". I really wanna say "i'm happy". I really wanna say " everything is gonna be okay", but i really can't.

Everyday isn't going well. It's not because of concert, it's not because of all the crazy trainings, it's not because of the fatigue i'm feeling, it's not because of the long rides home late and night being half dead.

It's all the things that i should care about. it's killing me that i can't make things better. i can't do anything to help the situation. Instead, i make things worst. My bro is right to call me stupid and useless, that's cause i really am. All i can do is envy the happy, rich, healthy families. My grand aunt is getting old, she's paying for my family house loan, my sports school school fees last time, she's not working and recently she's in the hospital, i have no idea why. Without her, i probably can't study and won't be where i am today. She prays for my family everyday and yet i can't do a single shit to repay her. My dad's not young either. At his age, most would be enjoying life with grandchildren. But, he's working, very hard and doing all he can to support the family. All i can do is spend and not save. If he's gone on day, my family would just fall apart. i don't want that day to come. But, i do feel something is not right and it's been stuck with me for a long time. Many complain about their lives, what materialistic stuff they don't have, things they don't get. I don't complain about all these, i complain everything in my heart but the only thing i complain about is why when i get home everyday, there is always a person missing or why am i the only one at home. Do you know how it feels to come home and know that no one is there?, do you know what is like to fend for yourself when something happens?, do you know what is like to want something but not being able to just ask for money to get it?, do you know what it's like to save every single dollar from your pocket money for months just to get what you want and people can just spoil it? really, do you know? it's heartbreaking, it's really so difficult, i miss the times when my whole family would be home. We can sit and have a home cooked meal for dinner. Do you know how long it has been since i had home cooked food? i really can't remember, years maybe. i just wish someone can say "i've got your back" and make everything better. All i can do is cry in my room, when i'm out of my room, a fake smile on my face to let my family know i'm alright and i'm a happy girl. Tiring it gets really. I'm just really tired from everything. Falling asleep and just hoping everyday will be better. People, just cherish what you have, you never know when things change and takes a toll on you.
dying?
Thursday, March 11, 2010 @ 1:16 AM
Concert training is killing me
i feel like dropping dead and just dying.
commitment
Monday, March 8, 2010 @ 12:36 AM
i don't even know if i believe
committing to it is even harder
but when someone asks you to commit to it
what can i do
defy?
i can't.
i don't know what i can do to make things better

maybe none of these make sense to readers.
it's just thoughts
dance camp
Saturday, March 6, 2010 @ 11:22 PM
actually i am damn bloody lazy to blog
seriously.
just a short update will do i suppose.

it wasn't suppose to be a fun camp
but thank goodness for all the crazy juniors around me
made it fun
to be honest, the camp is not a camp.
oh wells its over.

one thing that bugs me is the PT
i am so disappointed in myself
really.
like is worse than losing a competition
couldn't even finish 3 rounds.
and it's like jogging
can't breathe, chest pain.
sigh.
why now.
i never felt so useless is something i specialised in
something i know so well and love so much.

concert coming, but somehow i don't feel the motivation
sigh. go go go?

watching Hotel Rwanda now
really good show
sad, but it's a true story
how can people try to exterminate another race
they still people, and they don't choose to be that race
they just happen to be
it's really sad to know that things like this does exist
lucky i'm in Singapore
thank God. really.
when age catches up
Wednesday, March 3, 2010 @ 11:45 PM
today i saw two things that made me think

1)an old couple crossing the road hand in hand
i was in the bus that was waiting for the pedestrians to go
and looking out the window i saw the old couple
the timer was almost gone but they were going too slowly
trying to move faster but can't
still hand in hand they went
even though the old man could walk a little faster than his wife
in my mind, all i thought was
will i have someone with me when i'm old?
or will i be old and lonely?
it's really a great sight to see people being together all their lives
of course many wish it's love.
but life is unpredictable,
so i just settle for what is a better possibility,friends
i just wish my best friends,the crazy toots
will be there until we grow old
and we can laugh at all our stupid jokes and shitass nonsense.
good memories, and ongoing(:

2)an old lady dressed in macdonald's uniform
obviously she work for macs
from a society point of view,
it's good cause she's old but contributing.
there's an ageing population so need these old ladies to work
blah blah.
but old lady's point of view, is it a good thing?
shouldn't she be enjoying life.
why isn't her kids providing for her?
i just thought if i'm old
will i be like that too?
working for macdonalds?
it's really she could hardly walk faster enough to get down the bus with the crowd
slogging all her life and can't enjoy it.
reality can be really harsh sometimes.
shall not dwell too much on it
and enjoy life, every moment of it.

hell days are coming
and i'm freaking tired.

why can't you just get out of my mind
is this really too deep this time
seeing is like breaking
Tuesday, March 2, 2010 @ 11:03 PM


i'm really grateful for friends like them
people who stand by you no matter what shit happens
probably the best people i would meet my entire life
love you girls till the end
well it includes others of course
you know who you are P and N.

had hip hop training today
basically clean up steps
after that ate at macs
and went home.
surprisingly eh.
bought a new nike sports bra(:

i tried depositing my new year money
but apparently the machine doesn't accept $2 and $5 notes
i wanted to get rid of them.
dammit.

tomorrow 9AM in school for meeting.
sigh.


a surprise to see you
happy and sad at the same time
leaves me thinking
trying so hard to forget but still not working
but at the same time,
i finally got to see you.
stop doing this to me
is there more?
Monday, March 1, 2010 @ 11:53 PM
backtrack a little
Saturday went to watch allcomers
it's been awhile since i watch a track competition
even though it is just one run
and a pretty useless competition except for rankings cause it's open
but it gives me something to think about
and it's been 6 months or so since i actually ran
the feeling was great, i think i really missed it
cause all the friends i knew were there
the familiar faces,atmosphere and the same old gombak stadium
sometimes i just wish i had time to do everthing i love
track and dance.
it's really hard to make a choice between things that you love
dance is great but different.
there's only so far a music can take you
maybe like a 4 minute intrigue
but sports it depends on how long you want it
how long your body can take it
i like sports, it's outdoor and it takes you mind off stuff
the fire is still burning inside
the passion is still alive.
either path i take is gonna be difficult.
so just keep thinking till i find what i'm suppose to do.

Sunday was staying home and playing gunbound
and rot.

Today was the start of my concert training
which would be equivalent to crazy hell holiday
i'm still sick with cough and breathing is difficult
and i feel like dying
netherless i still went for training
it was Reggae from 2-4PM
but ended early
it was alright, just feel really shitty.
after that met D and MX at orchard
watched Valentine's Day the movie
it was awesome, and funny!
worh the $7
i still wanna watch Percy Jackson though
haven't watched it yet.
walked around and went orchard central
we snapped photos like mad.
shall upload some soon
all the photos are with MX!

anyway tomorrow i've got training from 1-3PM
feel like going queensway to buy shoes after that.
oh well shall think about it.
bye world.


someone once told me
if you wanna forget, you shouldn't talk to the person
but i haven't been talking to you
not on purpose, but apparently so
i'm not forgetting
you're on my mind like a permanent picture.
i just wish you knew.
