Handing over..

I realised I blog like once a month.. Like predicted.. Life is always v. packed for me.. v. fulfilling..

Aft my concert, I had been busy working on my projects, assignment and catching up with studies..

On fri, handed over the dance comm to our dear juniors.. so fast.. handling e comm for one yr..
It had been of great pleasure to be in the comm.. n i've realli learnt a lot when handling admin stuff for dance production..
Now, the next decision is whether to be in e next concert.. dancing is my passion.. n i'll nv give it up as long as i can still dance.. no matter wat kind of dance.. which dance grp.. i found it to be so strong when my parents n my dear opposed me to continue in synergy.. I know it's b'cos of e timing.. prac always end late.. n they're worried abt me coming home late..

Next year, 2008, will be synergy's 30th yr anniversary.. i'd definitely wan to be in tis production.. aso i found myself liking choreography.. maybe for next yr mar concert.. i'd try to do so again.. I find that there is no such thing as "quitting dance".. i can also go back n dance..

Of course, objectively speaking.. if i dun join e dance concert.. i'd have so much time to do other stuff.. yes.. there're always a lot of things for me to do.. n then they always tell me to concentrate on some of them to make them good.. hm.. hard decisions tt i dun wan to make..

April will be an exam prep cum exam mth.. I muz work hard!!! show actual proof!!! Sometimes i'm tinking we shldn't study for e sake of exams.. education is a privilege.. we ought to make full use of it.. n appreciate it..

Ganbatei to myself!!

Rough Cuts..

It's like 2 days aft my dance performance..
It was realli a gd experience.. though at times u felt like giving up to ur own exhaustation..
It always feel good to be on stage.. it's always fun at e backstage..

At certain point, I felt like giving up dancing.. at least for a sem to concentrate on my other stuff...
But again.. i dun feel like leaving e synergy family.. it's realli v heart-warming to see alumni coming back
for our performance.. supporting in one way or another..
In a way, what i feel now is tt we've built synergy in a way.. I'd wan to c e club grow n advance to a
even greater heights, like wat e alumni felt.. It's tis ties that kept me going in synergy..
Also, a part of me still love modern dancing.. tis passion is like a flowing river.. it nv stops..

As anticipated, my 2007 will be a v busy yr.. where my days r packed fully.. time has to be used in a value creative way..
I must breakthru in all my struggles!!!

Jan n feb passed like a breeze.. but it was an eventful 2 months when i had lots of new experiences n challenges..
Mar-May got to be a period of intense studying.. at least, to revise something whenever i've e time.. My CAP has been improving since sem 1.. It'll have to go up tis sem too! Breakthru.. breakthru... BREAKTHRU!!!!

Think globally, act locally!

The theme for students' division 23rd anniversary realli hits me..
It portrays the expectation n mission of the students' division.. To grow to be "global citizens"..
I really felt it was a good way of celebrating this anniversary with the panel sharing..

It kind of let me reflect upon a lot of things.. getting a new perspectives on things..

Sometimes, it's not easy for us to believe that we possess the potential to create the change that we want..

I still remember Dr Carter saying: "You're the world. Don't talk about the world as if it's outside you. Be the change that you want!"

This is also in line with Daisaku Ikeda's, my mentor in life, vision on human revolution..
"A change in a single individual's life can change the society and eventually the world."
World peace sounds like a far-away concept.. but if we continue to view it as if it's outside us, we can nv achieve it!!

I think i've realised aft e sd ann.. is that.. we need to know what is going around in the world.. we need to look at the bigger picture instead of being occupied in our own world.. hence, studying comes into the picture.. reading gives rise to understanding..

I feel that we often do things without thinking much about the meaning behind doing it..

Like studying..

In singapore, we're so fortunate that education is v much available n in high quality for us.. yet, many a times, we fail to see what is the true purpose of education.. it might nt be e most perfect system we can have i might say.. but being able to received education.. esp tertiary education is a privilege that nt everyone can get..

I've learned frm ikeda sensei.. that education is for the purpose to helping those who cannot afford education.. I'd always ask myself.. "For what purpose, do i study?".. n it realli helps to refresh my determination to realli get the best out of the education i'm receiving..

Eventful year..

Time realli flies.. esp wen u r packed wif a lot of things to do..

Jan 2007 was realli eventful..

1st 2 weeks, I had a few outings wif my friends.. I'd like to meet up wif them more often..
But time is realli v tight.. =p

Anyway, I took up a lot of projects.. challenges..
1) Choreographing a dance together wif my friend for e mar concert..
2) Do up a video for the students' division anniversary..
3) Spearhead the campus connection for north region ywds together wif my fellow comrades..
4) Role as emcee for voice of spring'07 performance

Chinese new yr!!!
Intensive rehearsals for my dance concert..

Arrhhh.. Super duper busy gal.. Plus muz squeeze time to study n compose songs..

It's rather tiring at times.. but sometimes, i keep asking myself.. why do i need to get so busy?
It's nonetheless to challenge n polish myself.. Youth is the time for growth and development..
I believe that when opportunities are presented to you, you shld take it up..
Cos u nv know when there'll be such opportunities coming again..

Sometimes, i realli hope that life stays at this age.. Though busy, i'm kind of enjoying myself too..
There're so many changes.. time when u've to let go n go outside ur comfort zone..

Okay.. enuff for now.. I shall go get slp.. Dance prac tmr morning..

zzzzzzz.....zzzzzzz...

Piggy princess going off to dreamy land..

Now is e time!!! Fresh start..

Well.. it's almost 1am on a tue morning.. i'm still nt asleep..
suddenly realised tt i've lots of things to do.. but still undone..

It's feel good to be in sch.. no more slacking n money spending..
tis holiday was realli a super slack one.. n i bought quite a lot of stuff tt can let me survive thru new yr..
3 pairs of shoes, 3 jackets, 2 tops, 1 dress, 1 pants..
dec was also a mth of great movies.. went out for movies almost every wkend n public holz..

Not spending money is one thing.. but i found tt i'm stagnant in quite a lot of stuff..
one thing.. i'm nt catching up wif wat's happening ard e world.. as i haven't been reading e papers for
a long time..

So nw is realli e time for me.. nt onli to reflect.. but for ACTIONS.. Actions speak louder than words..
So end of 'thinking' n 'reflecting' period.. but more ACtion!!!!

it's quite a great feeling to come up wif our own dance.. =)

Gonna recharge myself for another challenging day!!!
