Dancing is the poetry of the foot

Soory for neglecting this space for so long. Been busy and a tad lazy in updating my blog. With the upcoming Blast 24th Anniversary, my weekdays have been packed with quite a number of Blast! practices. 2 practices for the anniversary performance and 2 practices for the normal Blast routine. Plus cheerleading practices and Family Hour practice, my timetable for the week is simply, cheer-dance-dance-double dance-rest-dance. Hahaha. That leaves me quite little time to work on my studies, which usually starts from 12/1am onwards. Hahaha. Scary life huh.

Last week was mid-terms. I had two papers. 1 was tough, 1 was totally not worth my effort. Financial Economics was an open-book exam. The lecturer was lazy enough to copy the exact same questions from last sem's midterm and use it in the paper (changed only the figures) and since it was an open-book exam, everyone could bring in the past midterm's answer sheet. Which essentially means everyone (even those who didnt know what's going on), can just sub the values into the formulas in the answer sheet and copy it into the exam paper. So what's the point in me staying up till 5/6am trying to figure out what the hell is going on when any secondary school student could've done that paper? Super not worth my effort. Enough talking about it. Thinking about it still makes me dissed.

Went island creamery with the C3 girls right after midterms ended. Was super awesome post midterms outing. (: I really enjoyed it! Have taken a liking to the Horlicks-flavoured ice cream at Island Creamery. Everyone should go try it someday!

Spent sometime with the secondary school clique today at Manhatten today! Good catching up! We should do this more often!  (: I wanna go Hongkong. Really really wanna go so I'm gonna pray that my mom gives the green light eventually!

Not much pictures not because there isn't any but because I'm REALLY lazy to even blog, much less put up photos. Hahaha. Hope words will do fine.

Gonna sleep! Night!
 

Today's an eventful day. Went TTSH for hospital visit for one of my social work module and left feeling pretty saddened. We visited the wards, ICUs and even the mortuary and saw lots of things. You'll notice a lot of different reactions and behaviours when you're up-close. The first wave of sadness came when I saw this empty bed being wheeled out of a door and past me. The bed looked like someone had lay on it awhile ago; with the pressed mark on the bed, pillow and a messed up blanket. Had a really bad feeling that the person who laid there awhile ago was just across the door. And true enough, that person was just across the door. Just that, the door was leading to the mortuary. Was immediately filled with sadness. Then we went to the various ICUs. Didn't know that there's different ICUs in the hospital - NICU (neuro), SICU (surgical), CICU (coronary) and MICU (medical). NICU had me real bad cos I saw what I once thought I would be able to handle. As most of my friends would know, my ambition was to be a neurosurgeon, and still is. But when I saw the patients at NICU bearing a huge bandage across his half-shaved head, I knew that I was emotionally inadequate to be a neurosurgeon. The I spotted this family walked out of one of the ICU rooms that had the curtains drawn. All of them were crying and another wave of bad feeling struck me. There was also this Malay family who seemed really unhappy with some service and were complaining. Guess you really get to see different cases everytime, with different emotions, different backgrounds. I don't know if this visit made me more or less determined to study medicine next time, but that'll have to wait till I find the money to pursue medical eduation. If not, it's an unnecessary concern. Hahaha.

Came back for dance! My first time giving a class. The warmups was kind of off but I guess everyting picked up when the choreography came in. Hope everyone enjoyed the session & really sorry to the guys. I promise to choreograph a less girly dance the next time, if I ever choreograph again. Hopefully I don't have to do it in the short run, cos it's really stressful. Hahaha. (:

Haven't been updating this space for a super long time so I'm just going to make a short update. Been busy with school (note, not school work, just school. Hahaha) and I hardly know where all my time went to. Even on days that I do not have any lessons, I usually start doing my tutorials for the next day at like, 12am of the following day. And I'll rush through it till 4am. Sleeping at 4/5am is taking a toll on me. Could hardly function and my tutorials are all slipshod-ly done. Really need to find some time to do some work.

I went for NUS Dance Blast auditions yesterday. It was a pretty traumatic experience for me. Forgetting all the steps and feeling really upset over it at the end of the day. I could hardly swallow my lunch. I'm currently still waiting for my results and fervently hoping that I will make it through. Really hate this kind of waiting. It applies to results at the end of every semester as well. Hahaha.  

Alright, I'm feeling kind of tired so maybe that'll be all for now.

The Rag Days photos haven't been uploaded onto the TH website yet so I guess the picture post will have to wait. I'll upload the video first. (: Our dance was actually really nice. If only there was a 'Best Dance' award, I'm pretty sure we'll win it. Hahaha.

Enjoy the video!

Quiet birthday today. I'm missing my family. But I guess the celebrations and surprises will have to wait till later at night. School's starting/started! Grawh. I hate school.

It's been a day and a half through counsellor's orientation and since I'm having a short break now, I decided to have a quick blog update. Survived on quite little sleep yesterday. Camp stuffs was on till 12 plus then it was rag dance till almost two! Took a damn long shower (to feel clean clean) till I had to run out to wave at the censor. Lol! And then, I woke up at 740 today.

Yesterday's night games was not bad! I love the tunnel. Teehee. (: Today's game was alright. Pretty much the same games we did last year during orientation except for one. Well, the new one's pretty fun!! I enjoyed it despite my short arms. Will elaborate more when the camp ends cos I don't know if it's convenient to mention it here and also kinda lazy.

My room feels so clean now I don't feel like living in it to avoid making any changes to the outlook of my room or show any signs of living here. Lol! I'm weird. Pretty sunburnt now. Pinky face and non-pinky body. Weird. Hahaha.

On a random note, I remembered doing some 'music of the year' quiz on facebook and ended up with the result 'The Fray - You Found Me'. Then I went to check out the song and thought it was lame. But but, I'm hooked on it now! Hahahaha. Found a part of the lyrics pretty applicable to myself. Lol. 

Alright, shall be off now. Back to my camp!

Would you rather your child is a gay/lesbian or a gothic punk who carries dolls around with them for dinner? Hahaha.

Went to Iluma today for some shopping after work. Finally gotten my dance shoes! Been searching high and low for a suitable pair. My mom, sis and I dined at this pretty cool place called Benten Cafe. The steak there's pretty cheap, and it's really not bad. Was so full I could barely walk. They have pretty cool desserts which I've yet to try but the menu and pictures certainly looks mouth watering. Don't mind going back someday.

I drank Yam Milkshake today and had chicken rice along with the new addiction - chicken rice chilli. Hahaha. Can really say I satisfied my cravings today. I can't believe I'm this hooked. Everyone's been going, 'Got that nice meh?'. Hahaha. Think so lah?

I'm getting addicted to things I've never thought I would be hooked on. Craving for Yam Milkshake everyday ever since I drank it a few days back, under the recommendation of my CCK work partner, Guoliang. Didn't used to like yam so it's pretty weird I got hooked on the milkshake. It's not bad actually; really worth a try! I've also started to take a liking to Chicken Rice chilli! It's freaking shiok. Well, it's pretty weird that I'm taking in a lot more chilli nowadays given that I hardly use any sauces during my meals. 
 
I'm tired. Guess I've dance too much this week. Monday, Tuesday and Wedn was spent largely on dance. Plus that one night when I slept at 4am, really zombie-fied me. Hahahah!

Read Bryan's (my JK Pop dance instructor) blog during work just now. Highly entertained! (:

Shall be off now. Bye.

Met up with the Germs on Sunday! It was really good catching up, talking about the people from VJ whom we all know, or not know. Conversation just went everywhere & anywhere. Wonder when will be the next time I'll be seeing them. At least Zee's not leaving soon. So we've time, I hope. (:

Yesterday afternoon was spent at Suki Sushi at Cineleisure with Desmond & Johnson. Tried the buffet for the first time. The salmon sashimi wasn't too bad but everything else was just averagy, not exactly worth 23 bucks (after GST). Thereafter was rag dance session. Left feeling like I hadn't gotten enough of dance. Enjoyed the session a lot! Took a lift from Huiyi, together with Zongtang and Desmond and headed over to 85 for supper. Something good about everyone staying pretty near each other. Hahahaha! Haven't been to 85 for a long time since I graduated from Anglican High. Everything there has changed quite abit. More food, more shops and it's beginning to attract a larger night crowd.

Today was slightly more exciting. Signed up for lessons at Studio Wu! And I had my first Popping (Intro) and JK Pop (Beginners) class. Popping was difficult for me. Really need much more effort. I think I'll take years to look like I'm really popping. Oh wells. JK Pop was a little too advanced for me, but I could follow pretty much everything. I was however pretty much doing only the steps. Hahahaha! Nvm, I will improve I guess. I'm happy that I went for the classes, under the pressure from Desmond. Hahaha.

Alright, I'm really tired now. Feeling cramped up everywhere. Work tomorrow at CCK and then rag dance at night. Kill me. Tsk.

LMAO. Check this out. It's totally cute.

Went back to work at Dhoby Xchange, my SMRT GSS job, after the corporate event. Then dinner with the girls at Astons in Suntec! (: Queue at Astons was mad, as always. Just maybe not as crazy as the queue in the outlet at Cathay, that's why we skipped cathay and travelled to Suntec. Hahaha. The three of us actually talked about a lot of things, from Joyce's Arts Camp, to Jojo's bidding, to our module planning etc etc and I'm glad we met up. I don't know when I will start getting really busy. Hahaha.

Alright. Will be meeting the Germany gang tomorrow! After so long! Exciting! And then maybe I'll check out the Adidas sale at Expo tomorrow. 70% off footwear and clothing. Last day tomorrow from 10am til 930pm. Good chance to get my dance shoes! My mom threw away my holey shoe, when it can actually last for awhile more. Hahaha.

K, bye!
