i thought of dedicating this blog post to new year resolutions. but i realised i haven't really made any yet LOL. *cue sheepish laughter*
so i got the idea from some Tweeps, and decided to make a list of memorable times in 2009.
i'm very sure i'm going to miss something out, but this beats having to recall what happened last year another 10 years down the road.
in chronological order,
memorable time #1: being in the musical.
OHO, i so remember getting into a whole shitload of trouble with my family thanks to this.
i also remember meeting a lot of people, many of whom are now my close friends. :)
memorable time #2: being in Freek Tees, and also watching us disband, for the better.
it was an experience, albeit a slightly disappointing one, but memorable one nonetheless. i thank Suu and Tieren for teaching me so much during this time...
memorable time #3: a few open classes at Studio Wu.
and being more exposed to what the outside world of dance is like. also learning popping, locking and house basics and growing to love Old School Hip Hop, which i was rarely exposed to in JC.
memorable time #4: getting back the As.
and getting grilled by my mum for not getting the 3-5 As she wanted, coping with the disappointment, and moving on to realise that my grades actually work better for me than 5 straight As would.
memorable time #5: my first job ever
...guiding Japanese students around Chinatown and Little India!
which i had never really visited before. :/ hahaha i feel as if i cheated the poor children :x
memorable time #6: auditioning for Universal Studios Auditions and meeting famous people
and of course, not getting it. hahaha.
memorable time #7: several outings with Aunty Elsie and spending time with her, and also watching A LOT of movies together.
those were fun times. i love going out with Aunty Elsie and talking to her about things like life, my future, my ambitions...
memorable time #8: composing, singing and music sessions with Lex @ my place.
it's been awhile since we've had that...
memorable time #9: working for awhile at D.O.P.E.
my first ever job teaching dance, and although i wouldn't like to go back there to work again, i learnt a lot on the job, about how teaching needs a lot of stamina, clear explanations, and ten tonnes of PATIENCE.
memorable time #10: Penang Trip with family!
lots of yummy yummy food omggg, had a great relaxing time with my family. i also went jet-skiing for the first time, and parasailing! i loved the speed of cruising on the sea on that jet-skii *adrenaline junkie*
memorable time #11: creating actual characters for EPC hahaha
though they're now more for humour and entertainment than a real, serious comic/CREW. :P
memorable time #12: Dance Night 2009.
performing the Alumni item, and watching how improved the juniors are under An An, and being inspired by their brilliant concepts, choreography, costumes, showmanship and IMPROVEMENT. i hope these juniors of mine never stop dancing and inspiring :)
memorable time #13: taking driving test theory LOL
and now my mum is rushing me to pass my practical quickly hahaha i need to get it over and done withhhh :/
memorable time #14: passing my Grade 8 piano exam
and also finishing my "term" with Connie... it's been an awesome 7 years with her, saying goodbye to her during our last lesson before the exam was really hard, but it had to be done... i haven't really thought about her over the past few weeks, but now that i think about her, i still feel kinda sad...
memorable time #15: i-sketch ADDICTION LOL
i want to play it NOW ACTUALLY, but i don't have my tablet with me now! D:
memorable time #16: ABDC season 3 addiction HAHAHA

memorable time #20: Eusoff RAG Dance
1pm to 1am practices YOSH. i remember dragging myself to bathe before collapsing on my bed at 3am in the morning for the first few times in my life.

and i remember feeling so emotional when Eusoff clinched so many awards this year :)
memorable time #21: my first clubbing experience
which i disliked IMMENSELY.
memorable time #22: numerous gatherings of old friends...
...we need to have more, this year.
memorable time #23: passing the auditions to Blast!
these scared me so so much, but i really really thank God for giving me the opportunity and letting me make it in. since then, i've grown close to my Blast! mates, since we go for classes together. i never miss a class, as long as i can help it! having this scholarship is truly a privilege that i want to make the best use of and not let it go to waste!
memorable time #24: Talentime Performance!

memorable time #27: awesome Theatre mates, and a wonderfully epic Theatre Studies experience!
i'll never forget the DAILY rehearsals, the night when i TOTALLY DIDN'T SLEEP in order to finish a portfolio (my first taste at putting together a portfolio)
memorable time #28: mugging LIKE I'VE NEVER MUGGED BEFORE for final exams.
seriously i don't think i was this determined or focused, even for the As.
maybe that explains my grades. :/
memorable time #29: Taiwan Holiday
where i bought A LOT OF STUFF despite having very little time and chances to shop!!! :D

which was such a blast, literally.
enjoyed myself so much, and learnt so much from the classes and seniors and choreo sessions...
memorable time #31: FlickerHolic Crew FORMED
and now we're geared up for the competition on Sunday! :D
i'm so thankful to the Lord for this tight group of DOPE dancers and GREAT FRIENDS that i've really grown to appreciate, respect, and most of all LOVE over the weeks... it's such an honour to be in the same crew as them for Impressario, they're such great dancers, and such a bunch of CRAZYYY people. the kind of people i feel so comfortable with in NUS. they SPEAK DANCE TOO HEHEHE :D
so many things to give thanks for, so many things i'm indebted to the Lord for... i'm glad i took the time to type them all out, so that i can refer back to this entry in future, if i ever need to see the countless things i'm thankful to Him for.
i pray i'll grow closer to Him this year, and be able and willing to serve Him more this year. :)
oh well. time to sleep. i've got competition rehearsal with the Flickers at 8.30am OMG. D:
toodles! happy new year everyone! :D
