2017
Hello all.
I can't believe I have only posted 2 posts in the whole of 2017. It certainly doesn't do justice to my wonderful 2017. In 2017, i was deeply in love with a guy, crazily passionate about my job, and getting very very little sleep from school exams. In 2017, i also became a lot closer to my Mom which I'm very very thankful for, lost a few old close friends, gained a few new friends and lived many visions that I've created.
Here are some highlights of 2017!!
1) Attended quite a few 21st birthday parties!
It is the 96' year and most of my friends who invited me were from my secondary school. Sadly, I didn't get as many invitations as I thought I would (being really honest here about my disappointment) as I've really drifted from a hell lot of people.. + I couldn't attend half of them as they were usually on weekends and I'm teaching.. Even those that I attended I had to rush down very late after class :') Still very thankful as all these occasions allowed me to catch up with old friends and reminisce about the old times. It's really a good feeling :)
Celebrated my own 21st birthday too which was a really special one for me..
Got to celebrate with the closest people in my life, and got many many presents and felt the love from everyone.
2) Dance school SAGA..
So the dance company that I worked in went through some historic major changes, lawsuits and eventually we had to change our name due to some unfortunate events (some nasty people -.-). Lots of changes to adapt to and we had to work even harder to prove ourselves. Nevertheless, this independence of our school really gave me a push to work harder and 2017 was a really a different year for me more as an instructor and choreographer than dancer. Some humble achievements that I had this year was: 3 zhenghua performance during march, june and september, annually concert (debut concert) in december which I created a musical item (So much for not being different.. instead of doing a more contemporary/ lyrical item I did a musical this year xD), joined PULSE 2017 kpop competition as a dancer and trainer, DF JUNIORS clinched champions in the super juniors kpop category while my group, Royal Blood clinched champions in the Kpop Open category. Also took up the role of a crew trainer this year and trained my little juniors for concert and many performances! Lastly, co-choreographed with Chewy for Ignition'17 (SIM&SUTD collabo), won 1st runner-up with team nettechew and did my very first concept video (Too good at Goodbyes- Sam Smith) :D Also discovered many gems in my life who believed in me, students who had bigger faith in me than I had in myself that gave me the strength to push through in the stressful periods amidst all the production, competitions and exams!
3) Traveled twice... (officially)
Went on a short trip to Melbourne with my 2 close friends, Blandon and Linghang during my finals one of the semester's final exam study break. Quite a baller move as I had to change my return flight upon knowing that my exam day clashes with the holiday xD It was a really chill trip, went shopping, took dance classes, went to a bar and ate many interesting food.
Have been doing vlogs for my overseas trip, to sum up easily:

Went on another trip to Taiwan with my dearest cousin. 2017 was the year that she finally graduated from Poly!! Super proud of her. Girly trips are the best!! Ate a lot a lot of street food, created many many fond memories, released a sky lantern, saw beautiful oceans and rocks, went to a grassland full of sheeps. It was a trip with both the nature aspect and the city aspect!! Love her so much!

Aside these 2 main trips, I also went Malaysia (JB) numerous times for 1/2 day trips and ended 2017 with a 2 days trip to Bintan :D
4) DWZ.
Finally felt slightly more involved in my school's dance club, DWZ. Was really feeling very upset that I had to miss the internal battle twice, many performance opportunities and the biggest s24 competitions due to my teaching commitments. Nevertheless, through the many gatherings and trainings, managed to feel slightly more bonded to the club! Also, learned a lot as a dancer and was starting to feel a little out of passion but got inspired again and now I just see lots of room for improvement and am excited for whats to come in 2018!
5) Was beautifully in love and also fell out of love
This has to the be most important point of my blog post :)
I had a lot a lot of favourite memories with you. The best highlight of my 2017 was you. Thank you
It was really really emotional for me in 2017. And being an already very emotional person, it was crazy, tough, happy and sad for me in 2017. Hence, I've decided that 2018 is going to be a year that I focus on myself once again. I have spent a lot of time being independent and I guess I've grown very independent over the years, but became a little too dependent and now I need to find myself back again. I think there is a price to pay for being independent, it makes it hard for you to trust people because people have proved that they can't be trusted and you have proved that you are alright all by yourself and you don't need people. But right now, for 2018 I really want to focus on loving myself right, the road to recovery, overcoming more challenges and achieving more!
So far I think 2018 started off pretty well which I met up with so so many groups of different people, may be as many as the ones I have met in the whole of 2017 just in January! Gotta put in more effort for my friends, be surrounded by the right people and strive for excellence in dance and school!
Don't worry nette, you have many many things to improve on, but don't rush don't fret don't be upset, you are a work-in-progress, let things fall in place naturally and remember to find happiness along the way while you are working hard! :)
SENDING ALL THE LOVE TO EVERYONE OUT THERE, TO GREATER HEIGHTS IN 2018!
(I'm sad my concept video is being BLOCKED AGAIN ZZ)
//ps. i hope i can keep up with the good habit and update more often (more than 2 posts in 2017 to revive my love for bloggin'
