Drove myself to work today!
I achieved a goal!
I think i set it a few months back in July or August.
"I will drive myself alone without supervision to work by december"
30th December....did it! yay haha
Feels like a mini milestone for me, knowing my "over protected" background but I dun seem to get enough encouragement from him about it. BAH!
Got upset over another issue as well. Don't you understand that it really sucks to hear you say you'll go with someone else if i don't go? It's New Year! And I'm in a dilemma about whether to go or not because I care and I'm trying to find the best solution. I don't want to go half hearted as well.....
Whatever la....
Good job to myself on the car.

Signs of ageing
Went for my last two dance classes before the year ends today...
Popping went relatively well....Micheal taught quite a lot today so it felt quite satisfying. I can't pop my arms though....can't feel no muscles there ahahha...
MTV was a different story. I went to class wanting to full out the whole way, which i did! I was getting all the steps and the beats already.....until the very last 10-15mins where I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my right lower back. After which every time i arched or moved, it felt like my back was in this really horrible and painful stuck mode. That freaked me out. Freaked me out enough to actually stop dancing and walk out of studio to rest and attempt to stretch it out.
i usually know if it's just an achy muscle pull or strain and i'd just endure it through class but today just caught me unawares...for a moment i thought "this is it..."
Thankfully that stuck feeling went away after a while with a few back stretches. Now it's just achy. I'm still in one piece...
Sigh.....this is truly a sign of old age.
If I weren't so freaked out, I'd say it was quite hilarious really...me trying to stretch in all the possible ways and Lixin there panicking with me and suggesting more stretches...but ya....it was scary. Must warm up on my own first next time before class...
old woman le la!!

*Warning* Complain Post
The Complaining starts now....
*ignore if you are not used to ZZ complaining*

Why is it whenever I take dance workshops I will "chui"? The feeling is blardy sucky la...to not be able to perform to standards. And the sucky feeling stays after which makes me do worse and worse each time around.
How to be a good dancer lidat?
Wah...sending people home is blardy tiring as well. Not that I'm a selfish bitch who doesn't want to send them home. It's not them, its the process of driving the distances. Sometimes...it really gets very draining. Especially when you're tired, cranky and just want to go straight home to rest. I am starting to understand how my parents feel....I won't ask them to send my friends home too late at night ler....
When will I get my own car so I can have more freedom?
Want to spend more time with him. Ask him for lunch twice this week already but always too busy. He's so tired out from work and marathons and dance that he's so cranky sometimes...gets on my nerves. Haven't really had proper time with him since we came back.
When i disappear for 3months....how?
Sigh...........
So much for Xmas cheer.

Human
Learning to put emotion into dance.
To feel from within and just let your body flow with the music.
Feels very scary, feels very vulnerable.
But if we can do it, it will be magical.
It will be human.

Been taking Meredith Kerr's Lyrical Jazz classes and looking at her dance, she just takes my breath away every time. It may not always come out well on video but seeing her dance in person is magical. It is not dancing, it is becoming one with the song, the lyrics, the emotions behind the song.
I feel her.
I feel her.
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

You know you have it easy when you have a personal navigator who is amazing at directions. He goes back to the hotel by a different route every single time! Here he is hard at work trying to figure out how to get us from Tsim Tsa Tsui to Shopping Haven Mongkok!
Hong Kong Honey Char Siew!
Xia Ren Wan Ton Mee!
Delicioussss!
Enjoying the nice cool weather at avenue of stars. Bought a cup of starbucks coffee to keep our hands warm. I seriously think Starbucks is invading the world. Or Hong Kong at least. I see a branch everywhere I go. sometimes 2-3 in the same building or along the same street.
Shopping Shopping Shopping!
Along the streets of Mongkok.
Hong Kong is truly a city that never sleeps.
Departmental stores were still open at 11pm.
People were still walking the streets at 12am.
We were still eating Spicy crabs and prawns at 1am.
Did a 5 hour dance session at Ones to Watch Dance Studio.
The instructor in the photo is Haruna and she is a major beauty!
The classes were alright and class size wasn't too big so it was a pretty comfortable 5 hour session. The studio was rather tough to find though. Hidden away in some dim alley.
Popped on over to Infinity Dance studio to have a look see to decide if we wanted to go there the next day....it was super PACKED! And the atmosphere seemed much more competitive.
We woke up aching the next day and ended up not dancing!
Useless.
The super random, vain, practical as hell guy who never fails to make me laugh.
A new month, A new me

She thinks it's time to re-invent herself.
The blog has been rather stagnant of late....because there has been so many aspects of her life that she suddenly had to juggle and see the practical sides of.
She has been slightly anxious and depressed and unsure of herself.
But instead of just worrying over the issues, she has decided to actively work towards her goals. Time to re-evaluate what she wants out of love, life and career. So what if others are improving by leaps and bounds and she seems stuck. She is going to attempt to un-stick herself and shine as well.
Time to figure out what she's good at and move on from there.
Xmas resolutions ( if there is such a thing )
The blog will not die a slow death.
She will work towards finding her own *inner diva*.
To learn everthing, we must first acknowledge that we know nothing
