D-A-N-C-E for joyyyyyyy

I seriously couldn't live without dancing.

I seem to have a connection with it.

My momma and daddy met through dancing! My dad used to be a folk dance instructor and my momma the student.

Then subsequently my mom continued her folk dance lessons when i was older, like primary 3 and that was how I got exposed to all the chacha and rock and roll. HAHA.

I was in chinese dance for a while back in primary school days. Then in JC, unexpectedly, I became the dance president. like WHOA. I could never have imagined that to happen.

But thankful it did. Those 2 years opened many oppurtunies and another world for me. Many of the friends that I have now and the people I met along the way. They truly shaped who I am today.

Speaking of which, recently, I have found the joy for DANCE again. This is something Im truly thankful for again. Praise GOD!

One could never leave without dance. TRUST ME.

My favourits now are: REGGAE,street jazz, ballroom, latin dance.

ok. thats all.

Of books, movies and my notes.

It's official. I'm FINALLY done with my Twilight series!!! The book 4 wasnt as good as what I thought it was. Perhaps too much expectation hence the dissapointment. Well I'm glad that I'm over and done with it! Now i can truly dive into my notes.

It's abit late, but HAPPY VALENTINES DAY everyone! My Vday was very much well spent. Dashed to the airport early in the morning at 7plus to send dearest troll off. He's going to monash in melborne. SAD. Another friend left. Then went home to sleep. like from 11am to 4pm. HAHA!

Met my family friends late in the evening for KTV session @ Thompson. We had the whole place to ourself and a KJ to play our songs with free flow drinks. Only setback was the lousy sound system. T.T Looking at the whole scene last night, I feel really.. hm... blissful,thankful. To have such a wonderful bunch of family friends, real spontaneous people. While some of us were singing, some were happily dancing away. (including me of course. HAHA!) chacha, ballroom,folkdance,mambo, line dance. you name it! And we had a professional photographer in the house to take pictures for us. hee. It was truly a well spent Vday. with my love ones. :)

Well. updates!

You might see more of my rants here as May draws closer. Yes. Exams are ON THE WAY. LIke what ah hoon say: I'm stressed with the fact that I'm NOT stress over the exams. Haha. I have a whole list of movies that I can't wait to catch. SLUMDOG! He's just not that into you!

Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The other end of the line.

The curious case of Benjamin Button:

It's a 2hour 50mins show. Be prepared to hit the toilet before the show starts! Watched that last week. Some parts were boring, but HEY. You cant have hightlights all the way in a show right? and just nice, the dull parts gives you a chance to go toilet! (I DID.)

I like the flow of the show. It starts off at the old folk's home, how the story proceeds and it gradually returns to the same place where it begins, and eventually, Benjamin dies there peacefully in the arms of his all time love Daisy. The way Benjamin keeps evidence of his lifetime in a journal attracts me, not just in words but also physical evidence like postcards. (I do that too!)

One other thing to take note is the settings. The location that was used as the old folk's home, the roof where Benjamin(a child in his late years) climbed. It's all shot at the Nolan house. Go read up on it.

The other end of the line:
I like the fusion of indian culture together with the big apple. Reminds me of my last position in this company which runs on 24 hours basis. Haha. The scenes of Mumbai, it really drew me in! I really need to get to Taj Mahal soon b4 it's gone. Although only a minor part in the show, it highlights the race disparity, how people normally portrayed the indians as.

The female lead is REALLY PRETTY! She have eyes that speaks. and somemore, the male actor reminds me of this australian guy that I met a few days ago. *blushes* He really LOOKS like the male lead.

It's just one of the movies with happy ending that will sweep me off the feet. Haha. You may say that this is TOO CLICHE. I just LOVE IT. How sweet this story is.

Today is a good start!

Think. Positive message. Think.

I just need to get my ass off the crouch(reads Potato crouch and according to gupi's language: nua and blend in with the sofa). THINGS TO BE DONE! I kept saying that we need to do this do that soon. But I never set a date for it, an actual date, the actual implemantation. Hence, today is a good start! If I want to start my revision I do it rightaway with the planning and make sure I keep to it. If I want meetups, I set a date and arrange straightaway. This should be the way!

hence:

Today is a good start!


Perhaps it only occured to me NOW that I need to get on with my revision. Alot of my friends already have a HEADSTART. Panic mode is on!!

ok. Life have been good. Volunteered for City Alive, it's a post party for Chingay at Padang. Good experience, tons of calories burned from all the standing. Funkamania was fantastic, my IC is CUTE. HAHA.

I was reading the telescope by SCV (yes they do have a monthly magazine and I like to read it!), there was an interview with Nicholas Cage. When asked about how adventurous he is, he wrote:

"I am very interested in ancient history and civilisations. I would like to see some of the world's sacred sites....... I want to go to places where I can feel the energy of the past and imagine how these places were created and what events took place there."

I found answers in his answer. I can truly relate to this. I realised this is the statement, my very intention, the main reason why I fell in love with exploring the ancient civilisations. I feel the energy, it's so great that sometimes I end up in tears. Touched by the wonders.

Haha. ok and to mention I'm finally starting on my ballroom lessons. First baby step to see if I'm truly up to it and if i really like it. Thanks HON for the recommendation!


V.day is JUST round the corner. Who will be my valentine? I wonder.

P.S CNY please don't come to an end! I haven't had enough of yu sheng!!! Eating one more later.

Review: Remember me? by Sophie Kinsella

Initial plan was to check out the Popular book store at Hougang Mall to see if my remaining Twilight series is in stores already (SADLY, no.) , I ended up buying this book.

Just looking at the synopsis, it just makes me want to read MORE. (and the other main factor is that popular store is having 20% off on bestsellers!)

I can relate to Lexi when she was the cobra, the director of the flooring department. She made mistakes, alienated her best friends. It somehow got to me that when you are being put into a situation, you somehow transform yourself to fit that role.

Brings me to my JC days, when I was the president of the dance team. I would never dream of myself being in dance, hence definitely not EVEN the president. I've always been in the main committee but never the LEADER of the pack. I was lost for a while, perhaps there was some changes in my character. I was never the kind who's strict with rules, noticing all the nitty gritty details, being affirmative & authorative. It all just happen. Slowly, I see the transform in myself. Certainly, challenges brings out a different part of me that I didn't know exist. Haha


Ok. drifted. What I mentioned was not the main crucial part in the book.

Go read synopsis here: http://www.randomhouse.com/bantamdell/kinsella/books/display.pperl?isbn=9780385338721

I shan't continue. GO read it!!! (strictly NO SPOILER)
