K so term 2 has barely started and i can already feel how hectic and sian and busy and crazy it'll be. AHH. lessons seem to draggggggg on everyday and by the time i get home i'm so drained and all i wanna do is slack and not do any work/go for my runs :/ lots of stuff going on recently, and many things have been bugging me )< schoolwork, dance, friends, personal stuff etc. I know I over-worry bout loads of stuff, but I really can't help it!!!!

JC academic stuff is so much more rigorous as compared to sec school, and with all the AAs, ILP, PW starting to pile up, i really dk whether I'd be able to manage everything and do welI. SYF's in barely a week, and we have like, 2 more dance pracs to go? We've definitely worked hard, but is it enough? And also with new batchmates there's all the complicated group dynamics and bla, plus everyone seems so pro i cant help but feel that i'm not good enough and of course there's the added stress to push myself to improve.

And inevitably there's alot of change happening, new classmates, distancing from old friends be it primary/sec/cca/og friends, seeing how people, including myself, going from super tight to just drifting apart... seeing people change just because of the presence of the opposite sex, it just gives me this bugging/frustrated feeling. ahh idk. but i guess such things just happen and can't be helped. people change, things change,  life stops for no one and it goes on.

Jc's only two years and my sis says you're gna feel that its way too short. its the time of ours lives and we're never gonna be as young as we are tonight! so, i'm going to promise myself to try my best to treasure and hold on to all the great friendships i've forged, work hard in my studies and CCA, have more determination in whatever i do and stop being such a lazy bum/procrastinator, and definitely having fun as well.

"Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
"

So! Had my party on saturday despite the rush after CCA and all. Really thanks to Nat and Eunice for coming early to help! :) and of course the dslr + polaroid nat helped me to get for the party :)

so i must admit it was abit crowded and hectic, with people coming at different times and from different social circles. Mm andI didn't have much entertainment for people, but I really tried my best to not let people feel bored and stuff by talking to everyone and inviting groups so everyone'd have someone to hang with and all . But nevertheless, I'm reaaaally glad I had the party cuz I really got to catch up with people I missed alot, reminiscing and also realising how my different social circles somehow interlink with one another which is really cool hahah.

So there was the usual bbq, chitchat, photos, INSTAX!, PINATA(FAIL LOL) and ice cream cake! the cake was waaay huge though. crazy island creamery woman told me to get that size._.  so anyway, was really pleasantly surprised by all the sweet cards, gifts etc from all my friends, really made me feel so loved(: and also not forgetting the UNBLOWABLE CANDLES(!!!) and the ferrero rocher trail some of my prisch/team HELP friends made me go on, lying to me they couldnt make it ahahah.

all in all, i really enjoyed my seventeenth birthday and i'm really thankful for everyone who made this birthday so special and memorable ♥

woooooosh. okay so OG orientation's over.... POST OG BLUES. tbh i was quite skeptical about my whole OG cuz like, there was only one person i kinda knew on a personal level, mq. but the past week with my OG has been super duper awesome and i'd never trade it for anything. the banner painting, games, dinners, truth and dares, murderer, frisbee, pool, jokes and teasing... and most importantly, all the unexpected friendships i've forged. <3 i wont deny that i'm not close with the whole og and only some of us are tight, but i really hope we can stay in touch and continue to go for outings and stuff!!!

Today for MAD prac we practically had a sitdown talk for two hours, and only did some exercises + corner to corners for an hour... I guess the talk was really necessary and it really made an impact on me. part of it was about how to put emotions into the dance and not just do the dance because the whole dance was not impactful enough due to our lack of expression of emotions and stuff. but i guess what hit me more was another part of the talk where mr dan talked about dancing and being a dancer itself.

I've always felt I was never good enough a dancer, I mean, who am i kidding, i'm definitely not the best dancer around, and I wouldnt be the one the choreographer would pick first choice for a solo. I guess besides the physical part of it, more importantly it was my mindset that kept pulling me back? Like, even if you are a weaker dancer, or just not the best, you can't keep feeling that oh thats how you're gna be and you're just going to be contented standing at the back, not putting in your best because you feel that no one's going to even be watching you. but if you work hard, and constantly step out of your comfort zone and push yourself, then will you be able to improve as a dancer and move forward and not 'yuan di ta bu'. like what mr dan said, 机会是给有准备的人 , so I guess I just have to practise alot, not be afraid of getting it wrong and learning from my mistakes, and prove that I am willing to work hard and am trying to improve, and seize the chance when the opportunity is presented to me.

NO SCHOOL (cept CCA) TILL THURSDAY AWESOMEZZZZ. please let me have an awesome OG *crosses fingers*

You’ll never enjoy your life,
living inside the box
You’re so afraid of taking chances,
how you gonna reach the top?

Rules and regulations,
force you to play it safe
Get rid of all the hesitation,
it’s time for you to seize the day

Instead of just sitting around
and looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
the time is now

I’m waiting, waiting, just waiting,
I’m waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

Try to have no regrets
even if it’s just tonight
How you gonna walk ahead
if you keep living blind?

Stuck in my same position,
you deserve so much more
There’s a whole world around us,
just waiting to be explored

Instead of just sitting around
and looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
the time is now, just let it go

The world will force you to smile
I’m here to help you notice the rainbow
Cause I know,
What’s in you is out there

I’m waiting, waiting, just waiting,
I’m waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

I’m trying to be patient (I’m trying to be patient)
the first step is the hardest (the hardest)
I know you can make it,
go ahead and take it

I’m Waiting, waiting, just waiting I’m waiting
www.musicloversgroup.com
I’m waiting, waiting, just waiting
I’m waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

You’ll never enjoy your life
Living inside the box
You’re so afraid of taking chances,
How you gonna reach the top?

Just because the road ahead is long, is no reason to slow down. Just because there is much work to be done, is no reason to get discouraged. It is a reason to get started, to grow, to find new ways, to reach within yourself and discover strength, commitment, determination, discipline.

The road ahead is long and difficult, and filled with opportunity at every turn. Start what needs starting. Finish what needs finishing. Get on the road. Stay on the road. Get on with the work.

Right now you’re at the beginning of the journey. What a great place to be! Just imagine all the things you’ll learn, all the people you’ll meet, all the experiences you’ll have. Be thankful that the road is long and challenging, because that is where you’ll find the best that life has to offer.

okay just finished some awfully choc banana + rum and cherry cake that ashley gave me. feeling sick already. lol. anyway. lots of things have been going on lately, and yet again i'm filled with so many thoughts hahaha. i'm just gna rant and probably no one's gonna read it but idccccccccc. so here goes.

mm so the O level results came out yesterday, and the minute i signed into msn, everyone's going like, so what did you get what did you get and bla. maybe being in IP, the whole collecting results thing isnt that much of a big thing, but funny thing is, only yesterday did i start to think and realise that everyone's going to different places and its gonna be so different next year. i know everyone may think, oh im going hc, all my friends are going too so what the crap am i talking about right. but coincidentally, two of my close friends, Janessa and  Jan (HAHAHA I KNOW I KNOW) aren't going to hc. and of course, there are my friends who are going to rj, and a few others that are taking Os and going to other places. even friends who are going to the same school as me, if we're taking different subject combis, different ccas, its gna be so hard to hang out often etc. so was talking to some people, and it got me thinking. like whats it gna be like next year. will we all be so caught up in our new lives, meeting new people, that we eventually forget the old ties we forged with friends who have been there for us for at least 4 years? i know its not like we're purposely gonna distance ourselves, but jc's gna be so busy, and sometimes you get so caught up with stuff that you don't realise, hey i actually haven't seen these people in such a long time.




and visiting nymd with my batch yesterday, seeing laoshi and talking to her like old friends, seeing the juniors prep for syf, being in that super yellow dance studio, it brought back so many memories. our MAD modern batch is really kinda pathetic now, like its just me nat and ros from nymd, and i really wish and hope that more of our batch would join... idk if i made the right decision to join, but i guess the only reason i kinda not look forward to cca now is cuz like, idk, i subconsciously feel that i'm not gna be good enough? and this fear kinda makes me feel pessimistic about stuff and i guess that will bring me down even further so im trying to scrap that thought and really try to improve and enjoy myself. ahh but yea cca really ain't that bad and sure things are gna be different from nymd but we can't expect things to stay the same... so i really hope more people from our batch would join!

 

okay so... i guess im just gna obviously try to enjoy myself and have fun in jc, meet new people and all, but i'm going to make a conscious effort to stay in touch with all my friends whom i've had so many great memories with :)

ahhh okay whatever i dont make sense

xoxo
