Trust yourself, trust your abilities.


Hello readers! I'm at SRJC's crossroad cafe now and it's less than 2 days to CT. It's funny how i'm still blogging here. && tmr i still have a last dance prac for upcoming rehearsal that cannot be missed. Heart over matters yo. 


I'm really thankful for Janice for sharing with me about her experience that day when the 2013 J2s got their results. Don't worry guys, it may seem that all hope is gone now but towards the end, there will be a miracle :) Also, i've adopted new studying methods and i'm feeling less lost and i know how to progress already! :D

Currently busy with dance commitments in SR DANCE for upcoming DANCE CONCERT on 2nd May ,wohoo! And DFS (dance crew from DanceFactory) performances in mediacorp events other dinner and dance. And opening of dance pointe academy and teaching of hiphop kids class and kpop adult classes! ^^ Also, my commitment to the fringe activities performance with a group of dancers in school for the school's upcoming 25th anniversary. Last but not least, studying lah. MEH.

I always thought motivation = confident. But I realised that i'm 70% motivated but 60% confident. Motivated does not mean you'll do it. Therefore, there  are barriers inbetween that disrupts my confidence to turn motivation into success. IT should not just be a listen and forget about it thing. I must make sure there is follow up. Pure determination does not work. Your mind/willpower may fail you without concrete actions. A positive thought may not be always good, a realistic thought is better. Friends do not know what are you thinking about. So, if you want them to show care and concern about you, you must be willing to tell them your problems, what you're facing. And when you think you have a friend nice enough and willing to help you, tell them you need their help.

Lastly, here's some studying tips:
1)Read through learning objectives and filter notes. Study smart, only read things that are important.
2) Test yourself, close the book and ask yourself what is essential/ the gist or the so called 'bird eye
's view' of the topic. You can find a friend and test each other! Studying should not be an individual thing.
3)Notes: should not be a repetition of the whole chapter of stuffs in your own words. Lecture notes give you concept but notes should collate all the application question for each topic. During exams, read through your notes so that you won't be overwhelmed by the content of your lecture notes and then zoom in to specific parts / refer to your lecture book again if there's any part you're not so sure of.

I hope these studying tips are helpful and can help someone earlier, not like me who took so long to adopt the right studying method.

To end off, if you want to prepare for a test the day before, forget about it. Just go and watch movie, and drink a cup of coffee ;)

2 months + post breakup

 It's crazy that time just keeps passing. I realise that we don't really share that much memories together and when I keep replaying and replaying, the recorder runs through very quickly. There's only so 'much' experiences that we shared together. We were together for almost 3 months... and now we're separated for almost the duration of us being together. And it's crazy that time is going to keep passing and the time spent being away from you would start becoming longer and longer compared to the time that we had. Recently I'm into this sadness. Not the great depression but just deep, but not heavy, sadness. To pinpoint it exactly, I miss you. I'm not sure what I'm missing. The memory of us or you. I am no longer extremely curious about how are you or how's your life, but many things still remind me of you non stop day to day and instead of sadness... where it's something I lost, it's ... longing for something I can never have. I have...

现在的我快不快乐

These few days have been having really bad insomnia, lika now.. and the medicines i already took twice the dosage doesnt work :( Monday: Ronnie's hiphop beg, mega love his style and groove and just rockin' the basics. Tuesday: clarice's lyrical jazz beg and gin's hiphop intermediate. There is a reason why i stir away from contemporary/ lyrical jazz for quite awhile despite being crazily passionate just months ago... To be honest, it's due to me leaving Indancity. From being an almost untrained contemp dancer, steppng out of my comfort zone and pushing myself hard every class, how each time my body just cant get used to the intensity of the class but i told myself only through pain i will grow, till i can comfortaby do double pirouettes, fall down in a routine, and keep trying till i get it no matter how dumb i may look at the start, i told myself i just have to try double, triple the effort and i wouldnt be that far away too. Looking forward to indancity before ...

Introducing punk: ARE YOU A PUNK OR A POSER? I call punk a set of beliefs which guides your way of life, more than the clothing you wear. The word punk originates from music, and it is defined by its lyrics and attitude. As punks usually have a more deviant attitude, it shows in their dressing style as well. Popular culture comes in: some celebrity picks it up and turns it into a trend, causing everyone to follow that certain blue hair. These people, are then called posers because they are trying to be cool by playing punk. Proud to say, I'm both a punk and a poser. Punk rock music follower? Checked. Give credits to a rock band man instead of synchronised digital wavelengths yo. They may say the world of music is one but a good band still sets the bar. They are the kind of music you wanna rock your head to in a party. Poser? Yes I do dress a certain way to achieve a certain vibe but I gotta say that's 90% from my attitude. After scanning a whole range of nude, paste...
