Just something random I thought I'd share.
A friend and I had a drive through the streets of Geylang one night because we decided to have dinner there and I suggested driving around because I have never seen the "action" going on there before even though I've read and heard about it.
So, we took a drive around and man...........the amount of MEN there was appalling. It's like all the men of all types just congregated there. We saw a many women standing around as well along the streets just waiting for business. What really got me thinking "wow!" was when we went into this particular street which probably housed the more upper class girls, I saw rows of them just standing in one straight line in their skimpy clothes like products on displays. Saw one man approach and negotiate with one of the girls as well while the others just looked on and waited.
I think it was a pretty eye-opening experience for me. The blatancy of it all and it's just one street beside the normal food areas. Yes, it was one of the random things I did last week.
Anyways, we left in the end without dinner because it was too blardy crowded to find a parking lot......

一種Feel
每一次從愛裡離開 就像是心被切一塊
切一塊 下次再也不敢放膽愛
誰知道主歌才一半 橋段都還沒唱出來
就突然 你的出現爆破了悲哀
難道 我又我又初戀了 不可能 我又我又初戀了
可是 真的真的初戀了 這一種FEEL
我又 真的真的初戀了
我愛你 你愛我 我們再也找不到藉口
就像是 第一次 一起飛著愛情的自由
我愛你 你愛我 我們再也不需要藉口
又一次 初戀了 就算降講有一點荒繆 誰在乎喔
我吃了鐵牛運功散 因為我內傷好犀利
好犀利 你的魔力真的好犀利

I refuse to work
I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed my one week of "I refuse to work" break. Spent it having lots of coffee, movies, chill out sessions, doing random things I never used to do, shopping, finishing a book in one sitting and attending a rock concert! It's been so fun, I think I could get addicted! But then again, It's Monday again and I need to restart on my work. Need to be more focused and finish up everything so I can really relax after it all!
Nowadays I have so many choreographies and steps in my head, I just activate muscle memory during actual rehearsal and then throw it away....to activate muscle memory once again for another rehearsal...and the cycle repeats itself! Maybe I should test myself to see what's the limit to my brain's hard drive ey?
Oh well....let's push it til 25th May and then to 7th 8th June!
And just for fun, I'm leaving you all with this picture. I SOOOOOOO lurveeee it!

Be your own movie
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Missing factor
Been pondering about my dance alot the past few nights. It's a question that always repeats itself time after time, year after year.
Am I just a mediocre dancer?
Can I find that "missing" factor to become a good if not great dancer?
Why do some dancers stand out so well and catch everyone's eye?
Why Can't I do the same? I blend in and fade into the background too easily.
What is my Dance personality? My character? Do I even have one now?
I will always remember what pat once said a long time back when he was asked to say a few words about his dancers. "ZZ, hmmm she is always there. Always consistent, never giving any problems. She may not stand out but she is the one who will get all her steps right and support the group."
How do I go that extra mile to become great? To be acknowledged? To get noticed? Other than to keep improving myself technique and style wise....
How?
------------------------------------
Upset at myself for feeling like this.
Happy for others, but upset for myself.
Wake up, girl!

Reborn Spree-er
I'm a reborn spree-er. Just placed orders for DRUGSTORE spree. Buying their Philosophy skincare products which are supposed to do wonders for the skin.
I think the last time I online spree-ed was back in July 2007. Haha...ok not counting the dvds from YesAsia.
So here are my current "lusting after" items....am waiting for a spree to open so I can get them! =P
I think too much stress and overwork makes me want to do retail therapy.

I love this, can wear it for weddings and parties!
I wonder if I can club in this? Been looking around for a dress/top like this ever since last year. Which is nicer? The green or the white?
Something I've been looking around for as well since last year. But I'm not very sure if i can carry it off.
Now that I've got multiple ear holes on one ear, I can buy earrings like this!! Super chio and bling can!

Risk and be free
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To cry is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To express feelings is to risk exposing your truer self.
To try is to risk failure.
Risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
You may avoid suffering and sorrow but you cannot learn, change, feel, grow, love, live. Chained by your certitude, you have forfeited your freedom.
The person who risks is free.

Warrior of light ( Wake Up Tiger)
Every warrior of the light
has been afraid to enter a combat.
Every warrior of the light
has betrayed and lied in the past.
Every warrior of the light
has lost faith in the future.
Every warrior of the light
has trodden a path which was not his own.
Every warrior of the light
has suffered because of unimportant things.
Every warrior of the light
has doubted that he is a warrior of the light.
Every warrior of the light
has failed in his spiritual obligations.
Every warrior of the light
has said yes when he meant no.
Every warrior of the light
has hurt someone he loved.
That is why he is a warrior of the light.
He has endured all this, and not lost the hope to improve.

I is Happy
Despite all of my distractions this past few weeks,
I somehow managed to finish 2 dance items for the upcoming CACTUS production today! So now the official count is 3 down, 3 more to go!
I also managed to clean up Whitley Speech Day item and made them collapse at the end of rehearsal, which has never happened before until today!
I is HAPPY with today. It's a good day.
Just a bit torn between feeling a tad sad for a lack of company this week..*winks* and feeling a little glad because I will have more free time to take a breather from work and stuff.
But still.

Who appreciates alternative rock?
"Collide"
When I came here there was more.
Now I've come back to destroy,
And I've got nothing left,
And it's a shame what we've become,
When we hurt the ones we love,
And it's a place I can not go,
Anymore.
When we collide we lose ourselves.
When we collide we break in two,
And as we push and we shove and we hurt the ones we love,
It's a hard mistake.
When we collide,
We break.
When the cold comes crashing down,
And the fight lost what it's about.
I could tell that you'd left.
It's a shame what we've become,
When we hurt the ones we love.
It's a place I can not go,
Anymore.
When we collide we lose ourselves.
When we collide we break in two,
And as we push and we shove and we hurt the ones we love,
It's a hard mistake.
When we collide,
When we collide.
It's a hard mistake,
When we collide.
It's a mistake,
When we collide we lose ourselves,
When we collide we break in two,
And as we push and we shove and we hurt the ones we love,
It's a hard mistake,
When we collide,
When we collide.
It's a hard mistake,
When we collide, we break,
We break

專屬天使
Currently addicted to this song....blardy hell, i want to go back to writing lyrics.
專屬天使 - TANK
You very sweet la, I love you.
Those few sentences brought some encouragement into my very stressed up life.
At least its not all for nothing.
*Muacks*
專屬天使 - TANK
我不會怪你 對我的偽裝
天使在人間是該藏好翅膀
人們愚蠢魯莽 而妳纖細善良
怎能讓妳為了我被碰傷
小小的手掌 厚厚的溫暖
妳總能平復我不安的夜晚
不敢想的夢想 透過妳的眼光
我才看見它原來在前方
沒有誰能把妳搶離我身旁
妳是我的專屬天使
唯我能獨佔
沒有誰能取代妳在我心上
擁有一個專屬天使
我哪裡還需要別的願望
小小的手掌 大大的力量
我一定也會像妳一樣飛翔
妳想去的地方 就是我的方向
有我保護笑容儘管燦爛
沒有誰能把妳搶離我身旁
妳是我的專屬天使
唯我能獨佔
沒有誰能取代妳在我心上
擁有一個專屬天使
我哪裡還需要別的願望
要不是妳出現 我一定還在沉睡
絕望的以為 生命只有黑夜
沒有誰能把妳搶離我身旁
妳是我的專屬天使
唯我能獨佔
沒有誰能取代妳在我心上
擁有一個專屬天使
我哪裡還需要別的願望
You very sweet la, I love you.

Women are the new men?
I love Wacking.
Although I feel like a big baboon swinging my arms anyhow.
Need to go polish up those shoulder joints' mobility!
I survived first rehearsal for wacking and hiphop item for studio wu recital. Think I'm really going to enjoy myself. Haven't paid to dance in an item for a long while hahahha....I'm usually getting paid. So that's cool.
Let's Dance like Men, Girls! Whee..
I've been very distracted lately. Sigh, good or bad I'm also not too sure. Only good thing probably is that -at least- I'm happily distracted.
Give me a sign.

Too much Jazz and too little HipHop
So i mentioned in a previous post that I felt I had improved in strength flexibility and overall Jazz form and technique. Yes, I've been doing a lot more jazz of late and also getting better inspirations for my Jazz classes as compared to HipHop. Have not attended any hiphop classes since -I don't know when- , thus.....
I managed to squeeze time out for Bryan's class today after going missing for 3-4 weeks. I think I was horribly off form, yes I can get the steps but the feel didn't come at all and Bryan's classes you need a lot of feel. His feel. *Pulls Hair*
It's just one of those days where I feel like I've back-slided or just stayed stagnant while everyone else is pushing forward and improving so much. This pretty much happens when all I do is teach and give without getting any input myself. Not to mention some of the kids are major walking attitudes.
Studio Wu Recital in 2 months. Need to really buck up and push myself. This is partly the reason as to why I decided to do recital despite my packed schedule. I need to PUSH myself further. I want to work with Bryan and I want to go up another level.
I miss performing just for the sake of performing.
Wish me luck.
