It's been awhile since i updated. The whole holiday has been nothing but craziness, being tired and pack schedules. I survived it, and i'm still surviving. I don't know how but i'm trying. So got a few areas i guess i'll touch on to let everyone know what i've been up to.

Community based project

This year it's my batch of TPDE to choreograph for the batch below. I'm in the popping item together with Diana. From 6 to 5 people and busy plans for me and Diana, i'm glad we manage to pull it off. The performance was just over on Wednesday(20th October), and even though it wasn't perfect, it was still a good show. I'm really happy that everyone made a major improvement! It was tough rushing from place to place but, i'm glad i didn't miss the experience. It was truely eye opening and enlightening. Thank you Aloy, Desmond, Huimin, Jaylene, Alvin and Diana for the great 'POPPING' experience!(: keep dancing; people very much! next up GEMS 6!

Australia: Sydney





It's been two years since i left Singapore and travelled. Finally got the chance to get out and see something, i wouldn't miss it for the world. Initially, suppose to go to gold coast but the couldn't get tickets, so changed to Sydney. I'm really happy that MX and her family asked me along. Really grateful and thankful for the trip and the great experience! Wouldn't have want it any other way. Although we didn't play as much like in theme parks, but we did get to see loads of stuff. Luckily the weather was good when we got there! Cooling and nice!
The best thing as that our hotel was so near the city, it's like a 15 minutes walk away from Market Street(their orchard road) Awesome.
Hot chocolate with Marshmallows and breakfast over their are DA' BOMB!
The plane ride was like pretty good too, Qantas ain't that bad!
I manage to watch all the movies i missed out like Eclipse, Grown Ups, Toy Story 3 and The A-Team. Almost watch Hot Tub Time Machine but i was way too tired on the 7 hours flight back. So a short break down:
Day 1: we took a 4 hours flight to Perth for a transfer to the domestic flight at around 2AM we were at Perth. The domestic flight was around 5+AM so went we got to Sydney it was the early afternoon. We did nothing but rest in the hotel and walk around Market Street. I was so tired i slept at 8PM but woke up at 11PM and couldn't sleep the next 3 hours!
Day 2: It was Blue Mountain Day! Had a Blue Mountain tour guide Jim, who picked us a 8AM and called us the 'Singapore 4'. Anyway it's about 2 hours plus drive out of Sydney and same amount of time back. So the whole day was spent at different par of Blue Mountain. The view was amazing, but i'm lazy to pos all the photos up here. shall upload on facebook soon. I never seen any view like that in my life and i'm so glad we got to seethe famous Three Sisters and had two 1 hour mountain hikes. The second one was tiring, thought i was gonna die. but it was a good experience!
Day 3: We went Darling Harbour.We visited the aquarium and wildlife thing, the animals there are simply awesome! We even got to see the Habour Bridge and the famous Sydney Opera House, it was the day we walked a lot! At night, MX's cousing brought us to an awesome pancake place! wooo!
Day 4: Went to Bondi Beach, their beach, sea and sand was great! non stick sand and fresh air with strong winds and good waves! love it! walked around Bondi Junction for a little shopping almost bought a pair of shoes! but no size! gosh, wanted to import but can't find any website that imports it.
Day 5: It was pure shopping day at Market Street! bought a lot of stuff! yay!
Day 6: Had a little time to shop before heading to the airport for a 7 hours Qantas double deck flight back to Singapore!

Track
Been trying to juggle dance and training a lot, thank goodness i manage to squeeze in training. If not i'm so dead. IVP day 1 was today! 100m individual i didn't do good at all, much worst than training 14.06. but i wasn't sad or anything, just felt i couldn't have done better. Something weird happened at my starts so i don't know. It's okay! at least i finished the race, the weather was cold so i kept cooling down with my naturally tight muscles. Relay was pretty good i guess, but when i finish i think i 'busted' my knee somehow, and it hurts really bad now. Hope i do better next week! overall, it was an okay day! i'm not competitive for track anymore, never was perhaps, but i do try my best. Things change over 2 years ya know.Track to me it's not the most important, but i cannot say i don't love running anymore.Cause i know deep down i still do, i just don't have the competition feel that's all. Win or lose to me it's a small matter. I just want to enjoy myself.

Dance
Luckily i didn't neglect dance totally. In O school recital and i didn't regret one bit. So thankful that i'm in popping cause it's really crazy and fun this year! got to work extra hard but i don't mind, it's all for the show right?

So as you can see i don't have much time for a proper social life, i feel sad at times. But the thing that keep me going are the people and they don't stop me because these two things are what i love most. It's my passion and i'm doing what i can to keep it alive. Maybe i should be concentrating on my GPA more, but i'm not neglecting studies either just taking extra effort for the things i want from my life. Toodles update soon! it's a really long update!
By the way, School starts tomorrow and my timetable sucks! really bad!
